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 recognized
authority in the juvenile industry, providing  parents and caregivers  a  full range  of  innovative,
high-quality, and 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,  on  our  partner’s
websites, and our own direct to consumer websites. In  North America,  our  customers  include
Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, Target, Buy  Buy Baby,  Home Depot,  and Lowe’s. Our largest  European-based
customers are Argos and Amazon. 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.

In early 2019, we announced our new  brand and product strategy, and will be doing business under

the name SUMR Brands. We believe  this ‘‘family of brands’’ approach better reflects our strategic
vision  and evolving consumer expectations.  As described  below in ‘‘Sales and Marketing.’’, we will
leverage  our brands, Summer(cid:3), SwaddleMe(cid:4) and born free(cid:4), to cover multiple consumer
demographics, retailers and channels.

Strategic Priorities

Our goal is to become a globally recognized leader in the  juvenile industry by creating products
that families everywhere need, want,  love and depend on. We will  continue to support a  roadmap for
sustainable growth in 2019 and beyond  by  developing  and launching  new, innovative  products while
sustaining our core range of products. Additionally, we will continue to expand our reach through a
portfolio of brands, strategically positioned to appeal to multiple consumer demographics, and
strengthen our key customer relationships. Our  management team  will continue to execute  on the key
strategic priorities that we believe position  us  to  captialize on market trends and will fuel our future
growth:

(cid:127) Growth through product. 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, including for example 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:4) branded product line. Our new Baby Pixel(cid:3) line of
monitors have been expanded into a full  line with new models  expected to come to market in
2019. In 2019, we will also expect to expand on  the success of My Bath Seat(cid:3), the only one of
its  kind in the market, with new product offerings in  the line.

(cid:127) Growth through brand. By developing a strategic approach to  our consumer brands  in 2018, we

believe we are now well-positioned to expand  our appeal to a wide  variety of consumer

3

demographics. In 2019, we announced  our family of brands approach  and will relaunch  the born
free (cid:4) brand, introducing a new stroller, baby carrier, bouncer, entertainer, and  two playards to
the U.S. market. This brand will initially be an  online-only  brand, and is positioned to serve  a
higher-income demographic while still remaining accessible.  We continue  to  take a  digital-first
approach to marketing communications  and brand development. By implementing online
marketing, marketing automation, social publishing/listening, and digital analytics  tools, we
believe we are able to communicate more effectively  with consumers  of our  products and
understand what is important to them.  In addition,  we  expect to continue to 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 e-commerce.

(cid:127) Growth through distribution. We have strong partnerships with our suppliers in the  U.S. and

Asia. We believe that our ability 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  e-commerce  retail  customers  in  the
U.S., and will continue to focus on strengthening them  to  increase our  presence in stores and
online. In addition, we continue to develop our  relationships outside the U.S. to expand our
business internationally. We expect to focus 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  future growth
and expansion.

(cid:127) Continuous infrastructure improvement. As we continue to refine our operating  model,  we
expect our key areas of focus for 2019 to include process  optimization, worldwide logistics
improvements, and talent development. Expected initiatives include SKU rationalization,
increased  warehouse  efficiency,  increased  direct  import  business  as  we  emphasize  core  growth
categories, and evaluation of drop ship partnerships going forward. We also expect to build on
our  onging  efforts  to  improve  our  analytic  and  forecasting  capabilities,  product  development
process,  and  management  of  working  capital  in  2019.

Products

We  currently market over 1,100 products in several product  categories including  monitoring, safety,

nursery, and baby gear. We market our core products, under our Summer(cid:3), SwaddleMe(cid:4), and born
free(cid:4) brand names.

Anchor products in our product categories  include  the following:

Safety

Gates
Bath
Potties
Boosters
Positioners

Safety

Nursery

Specialty Blankets
Travel Accessories
Soothers
Sleep Aides

Monitoring

Video
Audio
Prenatal

Baby Gear

Strollers
Bassinets
High Chairs
Playards

Our safety line encompasses gates, bedrails, baby proofing, potties,  bath,  positioners,  boosters, and

infant health. 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 2018,  we developed and  placed with a  large  retailer a  new line of
gates that are on trend with home d´ecor. In 2019, we expect to continue with a  strategy  of marrying

4

high-quality safety gates with home d´ecor, and continue to receive positive feedback from retailers as
we expand our portfolio.

Our My Size(cid:3) Potty continues to be a best seller for  major  retailers  nationwide. To capitalize on

its  success, we recently launched the first  of a  new range of My Size(cid:3) Potty product called the My
Size(cid:3) Potty Train & Transition, that has been well-received by retailers  and consumer alike. In 2019,
we expect to continue to offer consumers more options in  this  product line  and to obtain incremental
placements with our retail customers. We are a  market  share leader in potties,  with additional  offerings
that support different consumer needs and price points in regards to potty training.

We first entered the infant bathing category in 2002, and we have  continued  to  create innovative
and  safe  solutions for bathing. Our innovative bath product, My Bath  Seat(cid:3), is the only one of its kind
in the market and continues to be extremely popular with consumers and picked up incremental
placements  in  2018.  New,  innovative  offerings  that  expand  on  the  success  of  this  category  are  currently
in development and are expected to be  available in 2019. We have an established roadmap  for
developing products in the four phases of  bathing (sponges,  bathers, bath tubs, and  bath seats) to
address consumer needs as baby grows, and  to  create  loyalty to our brand.

Nursery

Our nursery line includes our core brand  of  SwaddleMe(cid:4) specialty blankets as well as our

expanded line of safe sleep products  such  as sleep aides and  soothers. Acquired in 2008,  SwaddleMe(cid:4)
continues to be a trusted brand synonymous with infant safe  sleep. Offerings  in 2019 are  expected to
include a new ‘‘luxe’’ line offering upgrades and innovations such as  extra  soft fabrics, easy-change
technology, and different options for  baby  body position.

Monitoring

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(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.  The Baby Pixel monitor was launched in North America  in 2018, and we plan to
build on its early success. In 2019, we expect to gain incremental shelf space with additional, new
innovative monitors, including an expanded line of Baby Pixel(cid:3) Monitors  with  patent-pending  new
technology, SleepZone(cid:3) Virtual Boundary.

Baby Gear

Our 3Dlite(cid:4) Convenience Stroller continues to be a favorite  among  parents. We have continued to

expand our 3D line of lightweight, affordable,  feature rich  strollers. In 2018,  we introduced new
compact and lightweight offerings, including the 3Dpac(cid:3), which takes the features of a full-size stroller,
and packs it into a compact package,  and  the lightweight 3Dmini(cid:3), offering convenience for parents
on-the-go. The 3Dlite(cid:4) +, a new lightweight convenience stroller with refined fashion and new features,
is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2019.

Our Pop  ‘n Play(cid:3) Portable Playard, first introduced in fiscal  2014,  has proved to be popular with
parents and caregivers alike, and we have  since expanded the platform  to include a portable booster,
high chair and entertainer under the  sub-brand  POP(cid:3) (portable on-the-go products). In 2018,  we
expanded and refreshed these products  to  offer them at a variety of  price points  and retailers. We
expect to launch a new fashion line of  POP products in the second quarter of 2019  for the  spring /
summer season, when parents are looking  for solutions that allow them  to be out  and about with their
children.

Product  Development and Design

A thorough understanding of our consumer,  the competition, and our customer retail  partners
drives our product development. Developing and marketing  innovative solutions are  a critical  element
of our strategy. We strive to produce proprietary products that offer distinctive benefits, are visually
appealing, and provide safe, thoughtful solutions.

We  conduct market analysis in our geographic  regions  of  priority, evaluate  identified opportunities,

and design products accordingly. The majority of our products are currently designed  at our Rhode
Island headquarters. We also have development efforts  in our  China and our United Kingdom offices,
and when appropriate, we also partner  with manufacturers in Asia on  product development.  In 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.

Suppliers and Manufacturing

The majority of our products are manufactured  in Asia (primarily China).  We also  use

manufacturers in the United States and Mexico  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  presently

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  up to 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
as well as a third-party logistics warehouse  in China. 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 internationally.
Beginning in 2018, we implemented a 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 approximately 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 2019, we will continue  to  focus our marketing  efforts on
growing  brand  awareness  among  our  consumer  demographic,  optimizing  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 implemented online marketing, social media, and digital analytics tools, which allow us to

6

better measure the performance of our marketing activities,  learn from our consumers,  and receive
valuable insights into industry and competitor activities.

As part of this effort, in early 2019, we  announced our new  brand and product strategy  to  adapt to

a changing retail and consumer landscape. We will be doing business under the name SUMR Brands,
with our portfolio of the Summer(cid:3), SwaddleMe(cid:4) and born free(cid:4) brands to cover multiple consumer
demographics, retailers and channels.

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  2018,  we  made  investments
in our consumer care online through the implementation of digital tools that allow us to deliver more
timely responses to every conversation, reaction or question. In 2019,  we will focus on further
improving 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
Munchkin(cid:4), GB(cid:4) (Goodbaby  International  Holdings, Ltd.),  Graco(cid:4) (a subsidiary of Newell
Rubbermaid), Chicco(cid:4), Fisher-Price(cid:4) (a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc.), Aden & Anais(cid:4), Motorola(cid:4) (a
licensed brand of Binatone Communications Group),  and  Vtech(cid:4).

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 depending on the date of issuance 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 2018 and 77% of our sales in fiscal 2017. Of these customers,  three generated  more than 10% of
sales for fiscal 2018: Amazon.com (23%), Walmart (23%),  and Target (16%). In fiscal 2017, four
customers generated more than 10%  of  sales:  Amazon.com  (25%), Babies R Us/Toys R Us  (17%),
Walmart (16%), 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 experience some variations in seasonal  demand for our products in our second and third

quarters of each year. However, we expect to generate higher  than  average volumes for  the initial

7

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.

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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

If any of the events or circumstances described in the  following  risks actually occur, our  business,
financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and the trading price
of our common stock could decline. The risk factors listed below are not exhaustive. We  operate  in a
very competitive and rapidly changing  environment in which new factors may emerge from  time to
time, and it is not possible for management  to  predict the impact of all  of  these factors on  our
business, financial condition or results  of  operations.

Increased tariffs, additional tariffs or other import or export taxes on  our products could have an adverse
impact on the cost of our product, the demand for  our products and our business.

The  United  States  and  other  countries  have  levied  tariffs  and  taxes  on  certain  goods,  including
products imported into the United States from China. The majority of our products  are manufactured
outside the United States, mainly in China, and imported for sale in the United States. Tariffs enacted
in  September  2018  impacted  our  fourth  quarter  2018  results  and  caused  market  disruption  amongst  our
major customers. While we took actions to mitigate the impact  of  these  tariffs through price increases
and  exploring  alternative  sources  of  supply  outside  of  China,  if  existing  tariffs  are  increased  or  if
additional  tariffs  or  trade  restrictions  are  implemented  by  the  United  States,  China  or  other  countries,
the cost of our products manufactured  in China or  other  countries and  imported into the  United States
would  increase  substantially,  which  would  force  us  to  increase  the  prices  of  the  affected  products.  There
is no assurance that we would be successful in mitigating the impact of increased or additional tariffs,
and  any  increase  in  pricing  to  allow  us  to  maintain  reasonable  margins  could  adversely  affect  the
demand  for  those  products  and  may  result  in  decreased  profitability  and  lower  sales,  thereby  having  an
adverse  effect  on  our  business,  results  of  operations  and  financial  condition.

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  2018, sales to our top seven customers, including Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, 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 potentially  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 marketing  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  may  suffer  material  losses  or
file for a petition for bankruptcy. Sales  to  retail customers are  typically  made on credit without
collateral. If 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. If  key  customers, 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 could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results  of
operations, including our ability to access availability  under our credit  facility.

9

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.  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  may  likely  decline.

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 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
consumer  acceptance  of  these  products.  A  failure  to  achieve  market  acceptance  of  our  products  could
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 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

10

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 could adversely  affect our operating  results.

Covenants in our credit facility and term  loan agreement  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 and term loan  agreement include certain covenants that place limitations on
or restrict a number of our activities,  including our ability to incur additional  debt,  create liens on  our
assets or make guarantees, make certain investments  or loans, pay dividends or make distributions,
dispose of or sell assets, or 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, if we do not maintain  a specified level of availability under our  credit
facility and term loan agreement, we will  be required to comply with  a  fixed charge  coverage  ratio
financial covenant. 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 applicable
financial covenants.

Non-compliance with the covenants in our credit  facility  and term  loan agreement  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.

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,

11

or may increase our presence in, are subject to the  risks associated with international operations,
including:

(cid:127) economic and political instability;

(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.

Future  changes  to  the  U.S.  tariff  and  import/export  regulations  could  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  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 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

12

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.

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

13

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 an 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
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  an 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 that 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 an
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.

14

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
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.

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.

We may  not be able to maintain our listing on Nasdaq.

Our common stock currently trades on The Nasdaq  Capital Market. This  market has continued
listing requirements that we must continue to maintain to avoid delisting,  including, among others,  a
minimum bid price requirement of $1.00  per  share and any  of: (i) a  minimum stockholders’ equity of
$2.5 million; (ii) a market value of listed  securities  of  $35 million;  or  (iii) net  income  from continuing
operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal  year or in two of the last three fiscal years.
Our results of operations and our fluctuating stock price directly impact our ability to satisfy these
listing standards. If we are unable to maintain these listing standards, we may  be  subject to delisting.

A delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market would result in our common stock  being  eligible for

quotation on ‘‘over-the-counter’’ markets,  which  is generally  considered to be a less efficient system
than listing on markets such as Nasdaq  or  other national exchanges because  of  lower trading volumes,
transaction delays and reduced security analyst and news media coverage. These factors  could
contribute to lower prices and larger  spreads  in the bid and  ask prices  for our common stock.
Additionally, trading of our common stock  on over-the-counter markets may make us less desirable  to
institutional investors and may, therefore, limit our future equity  financing  options  and could negatively
affect the liquidity of our stock.

15

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 recognized
authority in the juvenile industry, providing  parents and caregivers  a  full range  of  innovative,
high-quality, and 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
and our own direct to consumer websites. In  North  America, our customers  include Amazon.com,
Wal-Mart, Target,  Buy Buy Baby, Home Depot,  and Lowe’s. Our largest  European-based customers are
Argos and Amazon. 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.

17

Our overall results in 2018 were mixed, as we  saw  the continued  impact of the bankruptcy of Toys
R Us (TRU), the parent company of  Babies R Us, one of our largest customers, on  our  results and the
industry in general as well as the implementation of additional  trade tariffs  with China and  the
enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs  Act, yet  successfully expanded our distribution through  other
channels,  implemented  cost  reduction  actions  to  right  size  our  business  and  refinanced  our  credit
facilities to materially increase our liquidity.

Sales in the fourth quarter of 2018 declined 14.5%, and  sales  for the  full year 2018 declined 8.6%.
The year-over-year decrease reflected a $22,940 reduction in sales due  to  the liquidation  of TRU’s  U.S.
assets, and a $5,452 decline in monitor sales as a result of increased  competition. We did see increased
business with other customers as former TRU  business  began  migrating to other  channels,  and also
achieved sales growth in our potty, entertainers, and gate categories.

The fourth quarter of 2018 was negatively impacted by the 10% tariff on  goods imported into the

United States from China enacted in September 2018 (the ‘‘10% tariffs’’).  These tariffs may increase an
additional 15% to a total of 25% in March  2019. The implementation  of  the 10% tariffs caused market
disruption amongst our major customers, who changed their buying  habits,  including delaying orders,
resulting in lower sales for the quarter.  To mitigate the  impact of the 10% tariffs, we have  implemented
price increases and are exploring alternative sources of supply outside of China. However, there is  no
assurance that we will be successful in  mitigating the impact  of  the 10% tariffs  or a future  increase in
tariffs and the increase in the cost of  certain of our  products for the foreseeable future. If we are
unable to mitigate the impact of the tariffs on the cost  of our  products, it could have  an adverse effect
on our cost of goods sold and future revenue  and  profitability.

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we recorded an  additional a  $933 non-cash, tax  charge to our tax
provision  as a result of the Tax Cuts and  Jobs Act (the ‘‘Tax  Act’’) that was enacted in December 2017.
The Tax Act allows for interest expense  to be deductible for tax purposes up to 30%  of taxable
EBITDA. Any interest not deductible can  be  carried  forward indefinitely. We  recorded an interest
deduction limitation deferred tax asset  of  $933 and recorded an offsetting  full valuation  allowance on
this  asset  until such time as we can demonstrate it is more  likely than not that the asset  will  be  used  in
the near future.

Primarily as a result of lower sales in  2018,  a bad  debt  charge of $1,813 related  to  the TRU
bankruptcy, and the $933 deferred tax  valuation  charge discussed  above, we ended fiscal 2018  with a
net loss of $0.23 per share as compared  to  a net loss of $0.12  per  share in fiscal 2017.

In  June  2018,  we  successfully  refinanced  our  credit  facility  through  an  amended  credit  facility  and
new term loan, which provided us with  additional credit availability and  lowered our quarterly  principal
payments as compared to our prior credit facility.

While  we  believe  we  are  well-positioned  for  growth  in  2019,  growth  may  be  adversely  effected  due

to tariffs on goods imported into the United States from China, general trade tensions between the
United States and China, and general  economic uncertainty  as we enter  2019. In  early 2019, we
implemented cost  reduction actions that  we believe will right size  our business as  a result of  the tariff
disruption in the marketplace, and we  expect to continue our  efforts to control costs  throughout 2019
while continuing to invest in product development  and improving our overall product  positioning.

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.

18

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  recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised  goods  or services to customers in  an
amount that reflects what we expect  to receive in  exchange  for the  goods or services. Our principal
activity from which we generate revenue is  product sales. Revenue is measured based  on consideration
specified in a contract with a customer.  The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a
performance obligation in a contract  by  transferring control over a product to a  customer when product
delivery occurs. A performance obligation  is a promise  in a  contract to transfer a distinct  product to
the customer, which for the Company is  transfer  of  juvenile products  to  its  customers. The  transaction
price of a contract is allocated to each distinct performance  obligation and recognized  as revenue  when
or as the customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation.

A transaction price is the amount of  consideration the  Company expects to receive under the
arrangement. The Company is required to estimate variable consideration  (if any)  and to factor  that
estimation into the determination of  the transaction price.  The  Company  conducts its business with
customers through valid purchase or  sales  orders each of  which is considered a separate contract
because individual orders are not interdependent on one another. Product transaction  prices on  a
purchase or sale order are discrete and  stand-alone. Purchase or sales orders may  be  issued under
either a customer master service agreement or a  reseller allowance  agreement. Purchase or sales
orders, master service agreements, and  reseller allowance agreements which are  specific and unique to
each  customers, may include product price discounts, markdown allowances, return  allowances, and/or
volume rebates which reduce the consideration due from  customers. Variable consideration is  estimated
using the most likely amount method, which is based on our  historical  experience as well  as current
information such as sales forecasts.

Contracts may also include cooperative  advertising  arrangements where the Company allows a
discount from invoiced product amounts  in exchange for customer purchased advertising that features
the Company’s products. These allowances  are generally  based upon  product purchases or  specific
advertising campaigns. Such allowances are accrued  when the  related  revenue is  recognized. These
cooperative advertising arrangements provide  a distinct benefit  and fair  value and are  accounted for  as
direct selling expenses.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are carried at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an
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 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.

19

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 29, 2018.  On a
global  basis, the open tax years subject  to  examination  by major taxing jurisdictions in  which we operate
is between 2012 and 2018.

Fiscal 2018 Compared with Fiscal 2017

Net sales decreased 8.6% to $173,619 for fiscal 2018  from $189,869 for fiscal  2017. The decrease
was primarily a result of a $22,940 reduction in sales to TRU due  to  the liquidation of its U.S.  assets
and a $5,452 decrease in monitor sales due to increased competition. The decrease in monitor  sales
excludes any overlapping impact with the  decreased sales  to  TRU. In addition, the 10%  tariffs caused
market disruption in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 among our  major customers who changed and/or
delayed their buying habits with us, resulting in lower  sales for  the  quarter.  These declines  were
partially offset by increased business  with  other  customers as  former  TRU business migrates to other
existing channels as well as growth in our  potty,  entertainers,  and  gate  categories.

Cost of goods sold includes the cost  of the finished  product from  suppliers, duties and  tariffs on
certain imported items, freight-in from suppliers, and miscellaneous charges.  The  components of cost of
goods sold remained substantially the same for  fiscal  2018 as compared  to fiscal 2017.

Gross profit declined 8.4% to $55,119 for fiscal 2018  from $60,195 for fiscal 2017,  however, gross

margin stayed relatively constant at 31.7% for fiscal 2018  and  fiscal  2017. Gross profit decreased
primarily due to lower sales. The 10%  tariffs increased  cost of goods  sold  but was mitigated by price
increases  and  sales  of  pre-tariff  inventory  in  the  fourth  fiscal  quarter.

General and administrative expenses  of  $38,880 for fiscal 2018  were relatively  flat  compared to
$38,878 for fiscal 2017 but increased  as a percent  of sales  to  22.4% for  fiscal 2018 from  20.5% for fiscal
2017. The increase in percent of net  sales was primarily  due to lower sales. Fiscal  2018 included a net
$1,813 charge for bad debts due to the  liquidation  of  TRU’s U.S. assets compared to a $1,560  charge
in fiscal 2017 due to the TRU bankruptcy  filing in  fiscal 2017.

Selling expenses decreased by 12.6% to $12,430  for  fiscal  2018 from $14,229 for  fiscal  2017 and as

a percent of sales to 7.1% for fiscal 2018  from 7.5%  for  fiscal 2017. The decrease  in selling expense
was primarily attributable to lower sales, customer mix,  as well  as lower freight out and consumer
advertising costs. The decrease as a percent  of sales  was primarily attributable to customer  mix,  as well
as lower  freight out and consumer advertising  costs.

21

Depreciation and amortization was slightly down  at $4,182 for fiscal  2018 from $4,197  in fiscal

2017. Capital expenditures increased slightly in fiscal  2018 to  $3,472 from  $3,103 in fiscal 2017.

Net interest expense increased 50% to  $4,442 for fiscal 2018  from  $2,968 in  fiscal 2017. Interest

expense increased primarily as a result  of  the  write off of $518 of previously  unamortized prepaid
finance fees associated with the repayment of  existing debt from the proceeds of our June 2018
refinancing,  higher  average  interest  rates  under  our  new  credit  facilities,  and  the  impact  of  increases  in
market interest rates over the past year.

For fiscal 2018, we recorded a $564 tax  benefit on  $4,815 of pretax  loss for the period. The tax
provision  for fiscal 2018 included a $933  charge due to the new  Tax Act. The  Tax  Act allows for interest
expense to be deductible for tax purposes up to 30% of taxable EBITDA. Any interest not deductible
can be carried forward indefinitely. We recorded an  interest deduction limitation deferred tax asset of
$933 and recorded an offsetting full  valuation  allowance  on this asset until  such time as we can
demonstrate it is more likely than not  that  the asset will be used in  the near future. For  fiscal  2017, we
recorded  a $2,172 tax provision on $77  of pretax loss for the  period. The fiscal  2017 tax  provision was
also affected 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.

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 and payment terms  for these  vendors are approximately 60-75 days from  the date
the product ships from Asia. In turn, sales to customers generally have  payment terms of approximately
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 facility.

The majority of our capital expenditures are for  tools and molds related to new product

introductions. We receive indications from retailers generally near  the middle of each year as  to  what
products they will be taking into their product lines  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.

For fiscal 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $5,546 generated

primarily from operating performance  partially offset by  higher  inventory  attributable in part to
inventory  purchases  in  advance  of  a  potential  15%  increase  in  tariffs  that  may  be  implemented  as  soon
as the first quarter of 2019. 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 TRU combined with a higher  mix  of  sales
with certain customers with longer payment terms  as well as  due to a reduction  in accounts payable.

For fiscal 2018, net cash used in investing  activities was approximately $3,472.  For  fiscal 2017, net

cash used in investing activities was approximately $3,103.  The use of  cash in investing  activities was
primarily attributable to tooling and a warehouse  racking efficiency project completed in  fiscal  2018.

22

For fiscal 2018, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $1,999, reflecting

repayments on our credit facility and  the proceeds from  our  new  Term Loan. For fiscal 2017, net  cash
provided  by  financing  activities  was  approximately  $1,321,  reflecting  borrowings  on  our  credit  facility  in
part to fund working capital and investing  activities.

Based primarily on the above factors, net cash increased for  fiscal  2018 by $40,  resulting in a  cash

balance of approximately $721 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.

If we  are unable to meet our current financial forecast,  do not adequately control expenses,  or
adjust our operations accordingly, these circumstances could create  a situation where  we cannot  access
our  available lines of credit due to insufficient asset availability,  and  will be required to maintain
compliance with certain financial covenants under our credit facility and term loan  agreement. There is
no assurance that we will maintain sufficient availability  under our credit  facility  or 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, such
sales may cause dilution to existing stockholders. If  sufficient financing is  not available  or is 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 a Second
Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, that
provides for a $60,000 asset-based credit facility (the ‘‘Credit Facility’’).  Total borrowing capacity under
the Credit Facility is based on a borrowing base, which  is defined as  85%  of eligible receivables plus

23

the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of  eligible inventory or (ii)  85%  of  the net orderly  liquidation  value
of eligible inventory, less applicable reserves. Loans under the Credit Facility  are scheduled to mature
on June 28, 2023 (subject to customary  early  termination  provisions). All obligations under the Credit
Facility are secured by substantially all  the assets of the Company and certain  of our  subsidiaries  are
guarantors.

As of December 29, 2018, the interest rates for base-rate loans and  LIBOR-rate loans under the

Credit  Facility were 6.50% and 4.50%, respectively. At December 29, 2018, the  amount  outstanding
under the Credit Facility was $30,630,  total borrowing capacity was $42,717, and borrowing availability
was $12,087.

For additional information on the Credit Facility, please see Note  4 to our  condensed  consolidated

financial statements included in this Annual  Report on Form 10-K.

Term Loan

We  and our wholly owned subsidiary, Summer Infant  (USA), Inc., are parties to a Term  Loan and

Security  Agreement with Pathlight Capital LLC, as  agent, pursuant to which  we received a $17,500
term loan (the ‘‘Term Loan Agreement’’).  Principal on the  term loan  is repaid on a quarterly  basis in
installments of $219, and interest payments are due monthly, in arrears. The term loan matures on
June 28, 2023. Obligations under the  Term Loan  Agreement are  also subject to restrictions on
prepayment and a prepayment penalty if the term loan is repaid prior to the third anniversary of the
closing of the term loan. The term loan  is  secured by a lien on  certain assets of  the Company,
including a first priority lien on intellectual property, machinery and equipment, and a pledge  of
(i) 100% of the ownership interests of domestic subsidiaries and (ii)  65% of the  ownership  interests  in
certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company, and  a junior lien on certain  assets subject  to  the liens
under the Credit Facility.

The interest rate for the Term Loan  Agreement was 11.74%  as of December 29, 2018.  The amount

outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement at  December 29,  2018 was $17,281.

For additional information on the Term Loan Agreement,  please  see Note 4 to our  condensed

consolidated financial statements included in  this  Annual  Report  on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We  did not have any off-balance sheet  arrangements during the  year ended December  29, 2018 or

the year ended December 30, 2017.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, ‘‘Leases (Topic 842),’’ (‘‘new lease  standard’’).

The new lease standard will supersede  the current guidance for lease accounting  and will require
lessees to recognize right-to-use assets and related  lease liabilities on  the balance sheet  for leases with
lease terms greater than twelve months. The objective is to increase transparency  and comparability
among organizations regarding lease  accounting and disclosing  key  information about leasing
arrangements. In July 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-10,  Codification  Improvements  to  Topic 842
(Leases), which provides narrow amendments  to  clarify how to apply certain aspects of  the new lease
standard.  The  amendments  included  providing  an  optional  modified  retrospective  transition  method
that  allows  the  initial  application  of  the  lease  standard  at  the  adoption  date  using  a  cumulative-effect
adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings in  the period  of adoption. The Company
adopted  this  standard  on  December 30,  2018  utilizing  the  optional  modified  retrospective  transition
method.  As  part  of  transition,  the  Company  elected  the  package  of  transitional  practical  expedients  to
not reassess if a contract contains a lease,  lease classification, or initial  direct cost  for leases.  Upon

24

adoption  of  the  new  leasing  standard,  we  expect  to  recognize  a  lease  liability  of  approximately  $7,000
and related right-to-use asset on our  consolidated  balance sheet  of  approximately $6,400. The adoption
of  the  new  lease  standard  will  have  an  immaterial  impact  to  our  consolidated  statement  of  income.

Management does not believe that any  other recently issued, but  not  yet effective, accounting
standards if currently adopted would have a material  effect on  the accompanying  financial statements.

Item 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  29, 2018. 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 29, 2018.

(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

26

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

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 29,

2018, 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 29, 2018.

(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 29, 2018 that  has materially affected, or is reasonably likely  to  materially
affect, our internal control over financial  reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public  Accounting Firm

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

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summer  Infant, Inc.  and its
subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 29, 2018  and  December 30,  2017, the related consolidated
statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows 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 financial
position of the Company as of December 29, 2018 and December 30,  2017, 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  have served as the Company’s auditor since  2010.

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, and baby gear. Most products  are sold under our  core brand names  of
Summer(cid:3), SwaddleMe(cid:4), and Born Free(cid:4).

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  29, 2018 and December 30,  2017.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

As of December 31, 2017, the Company adopted FASB  ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (‘‘ASC 606’’). The new guidance sets forth a  new  five-step revenue recognition  model
which  replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate
numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue  recognition  guidance that  have historically existed in
U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of  the new  standard is that  a  business  or other organization will
recognize revenue to depict the transfer  of promised goods or services  to customers in an amount that
reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for  the goods or services. The standard also  requires
more detailed disclosures and provides additional  guidance for  transactions that were not addressed
completely in the prior accounting guidance.

The Company reviewed all contracts at the date of initial  application and  elected  to  use the
modified retrospective transition method,  where the cumulative  effect of the  initial application is
recognized as an adjustment to opening retained  earnings  at December  31, 2017.  Therefore,
comparative prior periods have not been  adjusted and continue  to  be  reported under  FASB ASC
Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, (‘‘ASC 605’’). The impact of the adoption  was  immaterial. Refer  to
Note 2 for additional information regarding the Company’s  adoption  of  ASC 606.

The Company’s principal activities from which it  generates its revenue is  product sales. The

Company has one reportable segment  of  business.

Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in  a  contract  with a  customer. The
Company recognizes revenue when it  satisfies a performance  obligation in a  contract by transferring
control over a product to a customer  when product  delivery  occurs. Consideration is  typically paid

F-8

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

approximately 60 days from the time control is  transferred.  Taxes assessed by a governmental authority
that are both imposed on and concurrent  with a specific revenue-producing  transaction, that are
collected by the Company from a customer, are  excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling  costs
associated with outbound freight after  control over a product has transferred to a customer are
accounted for as a fulfillment cost and  are  included in selling costs.

A performance obligation is a promise  in  a contract to transfer a  distinct  product to the customer,

which  for the Company is transfer of  juvenile products to its customers. The transaction price of a
contract is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and  recognized  as revenue  when or as the
customer receives the benefit of the performance obligation.

A transaction price is the amount of  consideration the Company expects to receive under the
arrangement. The Company is required to estimate variable consideration  (if any) and to factor  that
estimation into the determination of  the transaction price. The  Company  conducts its business with
customers through valid purchase or  sales  orders  each of  which is considered a separate contract
because individual orders are not interdependent on one another. Product transaction prices on  a
purchase or sale order are discrete and  stand-alone. Purchase or sales orders may be issued under
either a customer master service agreement or  a reseller allowance agreement. Purchase or sales
orders, master service agreements, and  reseller allowance agreements which are  specific and unique to
each  customers, may include product price discounts, markdown allowances, return allowances, and/or
volume rebates which reduce the consideration due from  customers. Variable consideration is estimated
using the most likely amount method, which is based on our  historical  experience as well  as current
information such as sales forecasts.

Contracts may also include cooperative advertising  arrangements where the Company allows a
discount from invoiced product amounts  in exchange  for customer purchased advertising that features
the Company’s products. These allowances are  generally  based upon  product purchases or  specific
advertising campaigns. Such allowances are accrued  when the  related revenue is recognized. These
cooperative advertising arrangements provide a distinct benefit and fair  value and are accounted for as
direct selling expenses.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

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
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.

F-10

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

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.

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.

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, and accrued expenses  approximate  fair  value. The carrying value of  the Company’s
debt 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

F-11

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES (Continued)

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.

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,
each  of which uses its local currency as  the their  functional  currency, 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 $2,045

and $1,591 for the fiscal years ended December  29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively.

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 $9,555 and $11,970 for the  fiscal  years  ended December 29, 2018 and December  30,
2017, 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.

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
1,108,023 and 1,052,026 shares of the  Company’s  common stock and 271,975 and 331,516 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 29,  2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, ‘‘Leases  (Topic 842),’’ (‘‘new lease standard’’).

The new lease standard will supersede  the current guidance for lease accounting  and will require
lessees  to  recognize  right-to-use  assets  and  related  lease  liabilities  on  the  balance  sheet  for  leases  with
lease  terms  greater  than  twelve  months.  The  objective  is  to  increase  transparency  and  comparability
among organizations regarding lease  accounting and disclosing key information about leasing
arrangements.  In  July  2018,  FASB  issued  ASU 2018-10,  Codification  Improvements  to  Topic 842
(Leases), which provides narrow amendments to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease
standard. The amendments included providing an optional modified retrospective transition method
that  allows  the  initial  application  of  the  lease  standard  at  the  adoption  date  using  a  cumulative-effect
adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings in  the period  of adoption. The Company
adopted  this  standard  on  December 30,  2018  utilizing  the  optional  modified  retrospective  transition
method.  As  part  of  transition,  the  Company  elected  the  package  of  transitional  practical  expedients  to
not reassess if a contract contains a lease,  lease  classification, or initial direct cost for leases.  Upon
adoption  of  the  new  leasing  standard,  we  expect  to  recognize  a  lease  liability  of  approximately  $7,000
and related right-to-use asset on our  consolidated  balance sheet  of  approximately $6,400. The adoption
of  the  new  lease  standard  will  have  an  immaterial  impact  to  our  consolidated  statement  of  income.

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.

2. REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company’s revenue is primarily from  distinct  fixed-price product sales in the juvenile  product

market, to similar customers and channels utilizing  similar  types of contracts that are  short term in
nature (less than one year). The Company does not sell service agreements  or goods over  a period  of
time and does not sell or utilize customer  financing arrangements or time-and-material contracts.

are from contracts with customers.

Contract Costs

Costs incurred to obtain a contract are  capitalized  unless short  term in  nature. As  a practical

expedient, costs to obtain a contract  that  are short term in nature are expensed as incurred. All
contract costs incurred in 2018 fall under  the provisions of the practical expedient and  have therefore
been expensed.

5. DEBT

Bank of America Credit Facility. On  June  28,  2018,  the  Company  and  Summer  Infant  (USA), Inc.,

as borrowers, entered into a Second  Amended and Restated Loan  and  Security Agreement with Bank
of America, N.A., as agent, the financial  institutions party to the agreement from time to time as
lenders, and certain subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors (the ‘‘Restated BofA  Agreement’’). The
Restated BofA Agreement replaced  the Company’s prior  credit facility with Bank of America, and
provides for a $60,000, asset-based revolving credit  facility, with a $5,000  letter of credit sub-line
facility. The total borrowing capacity is  based  on a borrowing base, which is defined as 85% of eligible
receivables 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  applicable reserves.  The scheduled maturity date of loans

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

5. DEBT (Continued)

under the Restated BofA Agreement is  June 28, 2023  (subject to customary early termination
provisions).

All obligations under the Restated BofA Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of
the Company, including a first priority  lien on  accounts  receivable and inventory and  a junior  lien on
certain assets subject to the term loan lender’s  first priority lien described below.  Summer Infant
Canada Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited, subsidiaries  of  the Company,  are guarantors
under the Restated BofA Agreement. Proceeds  from the loans were used to satisfy existing  debt, pay
fees and transaction expenses associated with the  closing  of  the Restated  BofA Agreement and may be
used to pay obligations under the Restated BofA Agreement, and for lawful corporate purposes,
including working capital.

Loans under the Restated BofA Agreement  bear  interest, at the Company’s option, at a base rate
or at LIBOR, plus applicable margins  based on  average quarterly availability under the Restated BofA
Agreement. Interest payments are due  monthly,  payable in arrears. The Company is also required to
pay an annual non-use fee on unused amounts, as  well  as  other customary fees as are set forth in the
Restated BofA Agreement. The Restated  BofA Agreement  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.  In  addition,  if  availability  falls  below  a  specified  amount,  a  springing  covenant
would be in effect requiring the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio at  the end of each
fiscal month of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for  the twelve-month period  then ended.

The Restated BofA Agreement also contains  customary events of default, including a cross default

with the Term Loan and the occurrence  of a  change of control. In the event of a default, all of the
obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under  the Restated BofA Agreement may be declared
immediately due and payable. For certain events of  default relating to insolvency and receivership, all
outstanding obligations become due and  payable.

As of December 29, 2018, under the Restated BofA Agreement, the rate on base-rate loans  was
6.50% and the rate on LIBOR-rate loans was 4.50%. The amount outstanding on the Restated BofA
Agreement at December 29, 2018 was $30,630. Total borrowing  capacity at December 29,  2018 was
$42,717 and borrowing availability was $12,087.

Prior  to  entering  into  the  Restated  BofA  Agreement,  the  Company  and  Summer  Infant  (USA),
Inc. were parties to an amended and restated loan  and  security agreement with Bank of  America, N.A.,
as agent, which provided for an asset-based credit  facility (the ‘‘Prior Credit Facility’’). The Prior Credit
Facility consisted 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’’ revolving credit  facility (the
‘‘FILO Facility’’) and a $10,000 term  loan  facility (the  ‘‘Term  Loan  Facility’’). The  total borrowing
capacity  under the Revolving Facility  was  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 was 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. As  noted  above,  all obligations under the Revolving Facility and
Term Loan Facility were repaid in connection with the Restated BofA Agreement and Term Loan
Agreement described below. Loans under the FILO  Facility  were repaid April  21, 2018.

Term Loan Agreement. On  June  28,  2018,  the  Company  and  Summer  Infant  (USA), Inc.,  as

borrowers, entered into a Term Loan  and  Security Agreement (the ‘‘Term Loan Agreement’’)  with
Pathlight Capital LLC, as agent, each  lender from  time to time  a party to the  Term Loan Agreement,
and certain subsidiaries of the Company  as guarantors, providing for a $17,500 term loan (the  ‘‘Term
Loan’’). Proceeds from the Term Loan  were  used  to  satisfy  existing debt,  pay fees and transaction
expenses associated with the closing of  the Term Loan and may be used to pay obligations under the
Term Loan Agreement, and for lawful corporate purposes, including working capital. The Term Loan is
secured by a lien on certain assets of the  Company,  including a first  priority lien  on intellectual
property, machinery and equipment, and a  pledge of (i) 100% of the ownership interests of domestic
subsidiaries and (ii) 65% of the ownership interests in certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company, and
a junior lien on certain assets subject to the  liens  under the Restated BofA  Agreement described
above. The Term Loan matures on June 28,  2023.  Summer Infant Canada Limited and Summer Infant
Europe Limited, subsidiaries of the Company,  are guarantors under the Term Loan Agreement.

The principal of the Term Loan will  be repaid, on a quarterly basis,  in installments of $219, with

the first installment paid on December  1, 2018,  until paid in full on termination. The Term Loan  bears
interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR,  plus 9.0%. Interest payments  are due monthly, in arrears.
Obligations under  the Term Loan Agreement are also subject  to  restrictions on prepayment and a
prepayment penalty if the Term Loan is  repaid prior  to  the third anniversary of the closing of the Term
Loan.

The Term Loan Agreement contains  customary  affirmative and negative covenants  that  are
substantially the same as the Restated  BofA Agreement. In addition,  if availability falls below a
specified amount, then the Company must maintain a  fixed charge coverage ratio at the  end of each
fiscal month of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for  the twelve-month period  then ended. The Term Loan Agreement
also contains events of default, including  a cross  default with the Restated BofA Agreement and the
occurrence of a change of control. In the  event  of  a default, all of the obligations of the Company and
its  subsidiaries under the Term Loan  Agreement  may be declared immediately due and payable.  For
certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership,  all outstanding obligations  become due
and payable.

As of December 29, 2018, the interest  rate on the Term Loan was 11.74%. The amount

outstanding on the Term Loan at December 29, 2018 was $17,281.

The refinancing transaction was evaluated to determine  the proper accounting treatment for the
transaction. Accordingly, debt extinguishment accounting was used to account for the prepayment of
the prior term loan facility and to prepay  two members  of  the lender group for the prior credit facility
with Bank of America that did not continue  in  the amended and restated credit facility,  resulting in the
write off  of $518 in remaining unamortized deferred financing costs for the twelve months ended
December 29, 2018. Debt modification accounting was used for the remaining member of  the lender
group for the prior credit facility, resulting in remaining unamortized deferred financing costs of $675
and the new financing costs of $1,958 to be capitalized and amortized over the  life of the new credit
facility.

Sale-Leaseback

On March 24, 2009, Summer Infant  (USA), Inc., (‘‘Summer USA’’) the Company’s wholly  owned

subsidiary, 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, former director 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 would end  on
March 31, 2018, and the term of the  Lease could 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

F-18

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

5. DEBT (Continued)

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.

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 USA 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.

At December 29, 2018, approximately $406  of  the lease obligation was included in accrued
expenses, with the balance of approximately $2,164 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.

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

6. 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 29, 2018 the Company  has  non-deductible interest for tax purposes resulting in a
deferred tax asset in the amount of $933. The Company recorded a valuation allowance  on the value of
this  deferred tax asset of $933 until such  time as  it  becomes more  likely than not that this  asset will be
recognized. In the fiscal quarter ending  December 30, 2017, the Company  recorded a tax or ‘‘toll
charge’’ of $734 on previously unremitted earnings  of  foreign subsidiaries, a write-down of $882  related
to foreign tax credits and a write-down  of the value of our deferred  tax  assets of $115  which was a
result of the change in federal tax rates  from 35% to 21%.

As of December 29, 2018, the Company had approximately $4,758 of US 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 $1,043, $432, $2,823, $415, and $1,134 of NOLs  in Canada, Australia, Israel, Asia, 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 $2,290 relating to certain  state  tax  credits and foreign NOLs  is necessary at
December 29, 2018 and $1,907 at December 30,  2017. Due to the  Tax Act, the Company determined a
valuation allowance in the amount of $1,728 at December  29, 2018 and $882 at  December 30, 2017
relating to interest deduction limitations  and  foreign tax credits was necessary.

A summary of the Company’s adjustment to its uncertain  tax  positions in fiscal years ended

December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 are as  follows:

6. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

The unrecognized tax benefits mentioned  above  include  an aggregate of $65  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
prior fiscal year. The entire balance of  $325 was reversed as of the year-ended December 29, 2018 due
to lapse of statute of limitations.

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.

7. 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  29, 2018 and December 30, 2017 of $523  and $494,
respectively. Share based compensation  expense  is  included in  selling, general and administrative
expenses.

As of December 29, 2018, there are 868,655 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 2018
and 2017 is based on awards that are  ultimately expected  to vest.

As of December 29, 2018, there was  approximately $236 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 2.4 years.

Restricted Stock Units

On July 13, 2016, the Company granted 100,000 performance-based RSUs to its new Chief
Executive Officer. The RSUs represented  the right  to  receive  shares of the  Company’s common  stock
upon achievement of specified performance  metrics  and only vested  if such performance  metrics were
achieved for fiscal year 2017 and fiscal  year 2018.  The  RSUs expire  if the performance  metrics are not
achieved or if employment is terminated.  As  the performance metrics  have not been achieved, the
RSUs have expired and the Company did not recognize  any  compensation expense  in fiscal 2018 and
2017 related to this award.

8. PROFIT SHARING PLAN

Summer Infant (USA), Inc. maintains a  defined contribution salary deferral plan under

Lease Commitments

For lease agreements with escalation  clauses, the Company records the  total rent  to  be  paid under

the lease on a straight-line basis over  the term  of the lease, with the difference  between the expense
recognized and the cash paid recorded as  a deferred rent liability included in accrued expenses on the
balance sheet for amounts to be recognized within twelve months and in  other liabilities for  amounts to
be recognized after twelve months from  the balance  sheet date, in the consolidated balance sheets.
Lease incentives are recorded as deferred  rent at the beginning of the  lease term and recognized as a
reduction of rent expense over the term  of  the lease.
