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

Gates

Potties
Boosters
Positioners

Bottles
Drinking Cups
Bibs &  Placemats

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fiscal 2017 Compared with Fiscal 2016

Net sales decreased 2.3% to $189,869 for  fiscal 2017 from  $194,328 for 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.

Special Note Regarding Forward Looking  Statements

This report contains ‘‘forward-looking  statements’’  within the  meaning of Section 27A of the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and  Section  21E of the Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as

25

amended. These statements concern  management’s current assumptions, estimates, beliefs, plans,

‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘outlook,’’  ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘predict’’ and similar terms
or variations thereof, and includes statements regarding our expectations  with respect to the
effectiveness of our strategy to promote future  growth and profitability, the  strength of our customer
and  supplier  relationships,  the  impact  of  increased  brand  awareness  and  digital  marketing,  the  impact
of cost control efforts, research and development investment and product positioning  in 2018, our
liquidity for the next 12 months, our provisional  changes related to the recently enacted  Tax Act,  the
impact  of  the  TRU  bankruptcy  in  2018  and  beyond,  improvements  in  our  West  Coast  distribution
center, and expected trends and product  offerings  in 2018.  These statements are  based on a series of
expectations, assumptions, estimates and  projections  about our Company,  are not guarantees of future
results or performance, and involve significant risks, uncertainties and  other  factors, including
assumptions and projections, for all forward periods. Our actual results  may differ materially from  any
future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include,  among
others, the following:

liquidity problems or bankruptcy;

(cid:127) our ability to comply with financial and other covenants in  our credit facility;

(cid:127) our ability to manage our debt to provide additional liquidity  to  support growth;

(cid:127) any  adjustments  that  may  be  required  to  our  provisional  tax  charges  recorded  in  the  fourth

quarter of 2017;

(cid:127) our reliance on foreign suppliers and  potential disruption in  foreign markets in which we

operate;

(cid:127) increases in the cost of raw materials  used  to  manufacture our products;

(cid:127) our ability to protect our intellectual  property;

(cid:127) compliance with safety and testing  regulations for our products;

our  operations.

The foregoing list of important factors does  not  include  all such factors, nor necessarily present

them in order of importance. In addition,  please  refer to the ‘‘Risk  Factors’’ section of this report for
additional information regarding factors that  could affect our results of operations,  financial  condition

We  intend our forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time of such statements  and do

not undertake or plan to update or revise them as  more  information  becomes available or  to  reflect
changes in expectations, assumptions or  results. We cannot give any assurance that such expectations or
forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. An occurrence  of,  or any material adverse change
in, one or more of the risk factors or  risks and uncertainties referred  to  in this report or included in
our  other periodic reports filed with  the SEC could materially  and  adversely impact our  operations  and
our  future financial results.

Any public statements or disclosures by us following this report that  modify or impact any of the

forward-looking statements contained  in or accompanying this report will be deemed to modify or
supersede such outlook or other forward-looking statements in  or accompanying  this report.

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.

Item 9B. Other Information

Infant Canada, Limited and Summer Infant  Europe  Limited,  entered into an amendment and waiver

Loan Amendment does not purport  to  be  complete and is qualified in  its  entirety by reference to the

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Summer Infant, Inc.

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.

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

Nature of Operations

The Company designs, markets and distributes branded juvenile health, safety  and wellness
products that are sold globally to large national  retailers  as well  as independent  retailers, primarily in
North America. 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.

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:

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.

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

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.

The amortization period for the majority of the intangible assets  ranges from 5 to 20 years for
those assets that have an estimated life;  certain  assets have indefinite lives (a brand name).  Total of
intangibles not subject to amortization  amounted to $8,400 and $8,400 for the fiscal years ended
December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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

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.

Estimated amortization expense for the remaining definite-lived assets for the  next five years is as

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.

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

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. The Second
Amendment was reviewed and approved  by the audit  committee because it was  a related party
transaction.

Approximate future minimum sale-leaseback payments due under the lease is as follows:

5. 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.

As of December 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $5,996 of federal  and state net
operating loss carry forwards (or ‘‘NOLs’’) to offset  future federal  taxable income. 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

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.

6. 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. A summary of restricted stock  awards made in the year ended December 30, 2017, is as
follows:

As of December 30, 2017, there was  approximately $314 of  unrecognized  compensation cost
related to non-vested stock compensation arrangements  granted  under the Company’s stock incentive
plan  for restricted stock awards. 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.

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
