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 product 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 2019, we announced our new brand and product  strategy, and are 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  seek  to  leverage
our  brands, Summer�, SwaddleMe� and born free�, to cover multiple consumer demographics,
retailers, and channels.

Strategic Priorities

Our goal is to become a globally recognized leader in the  juvenile product  industry  by  creating

products that families everywhere need,  want, love and depend on. We will continue  to  support a
roadmap  for sustainable growth in 2020 and beyond by developing and launching new  products based
on consumer demand, while also strengthening our  core product offerings.  Additionally, we will
continue to expand our reach through a portfolio  of brands,  strategically positioned to appeal to
multiple consumer demographics, and  further develop  our key customer relationships. We believe the
following key strategic priorities position  us to capitalize on  market  trends and fuel our future growth:

• Growth through product. We continuously seek to create differentiated 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 design innovation in potties  and gates, new convenience features  in bath  and strollers,
inventive technology in our baby video  monitors, and an expanded range of  safe-sleep solutions
within our SwaddleMe� branded product line. In 2020, we are launching a new infant car seat
and travel system that offers many high-end  features at a competitive price  point. We believe
that this expansion will allow us to reach the  first-time  expectant  parent market in a  meaningful
way and bring them through our entire  product line as their  babies grow.

• Growth through brand. By developing a strategic approach to our consumer  brands,  we  believe

we are positioned  to expand our appeal to a wide variety of  consumer demographics while
providing retailer differentiation. We continue to take a  digital-first approach to marketing

3

communications and brand development. By  implementing online marketing, marketing
automation, social publishing/listening, and digital analytics tools,  we  believe  we will be 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.

• Growth through distribution. We have strong partnerships with our suppliers in the

U.S., Mexico, and Asia. We believe that our ability to develop  products that are preferred  by
consumers 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.

• Continuous infrastructure improvement. A large percentage of our 2019 efforts  and planned

2020 activities are  focused on operational cost reductions,  product sourcing  and tariff  mitigation,
and streamlining improvements. Active programs include ongoing SKU reductions and
rationalization, consolidation of UK distribution  operations into  our China facility, warehouse
labor reductions, leasehold rationalization and  the subletting of excess space where applicable.
Additionally, we plan on increasing our direct  import business, relocating product manufacturing
in Asia to realize reduced tariffs and lower  costs, and overall supply chain/order management
staff  consolidation.

Products

We  currently market our products in several product categories including gates, potty, bath,
entertainers, baby monitors, specialty  blankets, strollers, car  seats  and travel systems.  We are  a North
American market leader in the gate, bath,  and the potty categories as  well as  a North  American market
leader in the convenience stroller segment. We market our core products, under our Summer�,
SwaddleMe�, and born free� brand names.

Within gates, we offer a product range  of  more than 30 products. Our  line of gates  offer versatility

that covers use in  home, ease of installation, and  aesthetically pleasing  designs. We appeal  to
consumers with our combination of high quality and  various designs matching home d´ecor. We
continue to receive positive feedback  from retailers as we expand our portfolio.

We  first entered the infant bathing category in 2002,  and  we have  continued  to  create useful and

safe solutions for bathing. Our innovative  bath product,  My  Bath Seat� continues to be extremely
popular with consumers. 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 brands, with new products available  in 2020.

Our My Size� Potty and the My Size� Potty Train & Transition have been well-received by
retailers and consumers alike. In 2020, 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 various price
points in regards to potty training.

We  are a North American market leader in  the convenience segment  of  strollers.  Our 3Dlite�
Convenience Stroller continues to be  a favorite  among  parents. We have continued to expand our 3D
line of lightweight, affordable, feature  rich strollers  with the  3Dlite� +, a new lightweight convenience
stroller with refined fashion and new features as well as the  3Dgo and  3D Pac.  In 2020, we will also be
launching the modular travel system with an infant  car seat.

4

Our monitors were first introduced in 2001  and  are distinguished by ease of use, innovative
features, and their high quality. Currently,  we  offer  audio and  video monitors under the Summer�
brand. Our monitors feature high quality components, intended  to  fulfill the  desire for consumers  to
connect with baby at any time or place.  2019 saw the successful launch of our Baby Pixel monitor,  and
we have continued to expand the product line with offerings  including  Baby Pixel Zoom  HD and Baby
Pixel Cadet.

Our specialty blankets include SwaddleMe� specialty blankets as well as our expanded line of
Slumber Buddy soothers. Acquired in  2008, SwaddleMe� continues to be a trusted brand synonymous
with infant safe sleep. A new brand refresh, SwaddleMe branded  website, and an expanded range  of
products are expected to launch in early 2020.

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. 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 and  Canada 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 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 America and internationally.  We seek
to expand our 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.

5

Marketing, promotion and consumer  engagement are  key  elements  in the juvenile industry.
Historically, a significant percentage of  our promotional spending has been  structured in coordination
with large retail partners. We continue to focus our marketing efforts on growing brand awareness
among our target consumer demographic,  optimizing marketing investments,  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, in the right channel, at  the right time. We  have
implemented online marketing, social  media, and digital analytics  tools,  which allow us to better
measure the performance of our marketing activities,  learn from our consumers,  and receive valuable
insights into industry and competitor  activities.

Customer service is a critical component of  our marketing strategy. We maintain a  U.S.-based
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 2019, we launched
live chat on our direct-to-consumer websites to allow consumers to connect with  the consumer service
team as they research products or shop  on our branded websites.

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
Tomy Company, Ltd., Dorel Industries,  Inc., Regalo Baby�, Munchkin�, GB� (Goodbaby International
Holdings, Ltd.), Graco� (a subsidiary of Newell Rubbermaid), Chicco�, Fisher-Price� (a subsidiary of
Mattel, Inc.), Aden & Anais�, and Motorola� (a licensed brand of Binatone Communications Group).

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 trademarks, patents,  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 15 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 innovation in our products. The duration  of our trademark  registrations varies from  country  to
country. However, trademarks are generally valid  and may  be  renewed indefinitely  as long as they  are
in use and/or their registrations are properly  maintained.

Customers

Sales to the Company’s top seven customers together comprised  approximately 81% of our sales  in
fiscal 2019 and 77% of our sales in fiscal 2018. Of these customers,  three generated  more than 10% of
sales for fiscal 2019: Amazon.com (26%), Walmart (25%),  and Target (17%). In fiscal 2018, three
customers generated more than 10%  of  sales:  Amazon.com  (23%), Walmart  (23%), and Target  (16%)

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.

6

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
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.

Employees

As of December 28, 2019, we had 159  employees, 156 of whom were  full  time employees and 74 of

whom worked in our Rhode Island headquarters.

Available  Information

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.  Our principal executive

offices are located at 1275 Park East Drive,  Woonsocket, Rhode Island 02895,  and our telephone
number is (401) 671 6550. We maintain  our corporate website at www.summerinfant.com.

We  file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’), including an annual report

on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to
those reports that we file with, or furnish  to, the SEC.  The SEC maintains an  Internet website,
www.sec.gov, that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information that we file
electronically with the SEC. Our website also includes corporate governance  information, including our
Code of Ethics and our Board committee  charters. The information contained on our website  does not
constitute a part of this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

An investment in our securities involves  a high degree of risk. You should  carefully consider  the

risks described below before making an investment decision. 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.

Our business may be materially adversely  impacted due to  the  recent coronavirus  outbreak in the  U.S.

Our business may be materially adversely impacted by the effects of  the recent  coronavirus
outbreak in the U.S. In addition to other risks  related to the outbreak noted below, such as to our
supply chain or a temporary closure of our distribution  facility, as  of the date of this filing,  multiple
retail stores in the U.S. have temporarily  closed their stores  in response to the outbreak,  and state
governments are taking action to curtail public  activities. A significant  portion of our sales in 2019  were
made to large and small retail stores.  We  cannot at  this time accurately  predict what effects the  closure
of our customers’ stores and the coronavirus outbreak  in the U.S.  will have on  our  sales in 2020,
including due to uncertainties relating to the ultimate  geographic spread of the virus, the  severity of the
disease, the duration of the outbreak,  the length of voluntary business closures and  governmental
actions taken in response to the outbreak.  More generally,  a  widespread health crisis  could  adversely
affect the U.S. economy, resulting in an economic downturn  that could  affect demand for our products
and therefore impact our results.

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  2019, sales to our top seven customers, including Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, and  Target,

accounted for approximately 81% 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.

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, financial condition and
results of operations. Further, any suspension,  revocation,  expiration,  non-renewal  or other loss of our
temporary exemption from certain tariffs  could adversely  affect  our business, financial condition and  results of
operations.

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 2018 and 2019 impacted our 2018 and 2019 results,  and  caused  market  disruption amongst  our major
customers. While we took actions to  mitigate  the impact  of these tariffs and are 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

8

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.

In December 2019, an exclusion for metal  safety gates was  granted by  the USTR, retroactive to
the date of implementation (September 2018). Any amounts we paid  in respect of such tariffs between
the time of their implementation and  the date the exclusion  was granted  will be refunded. However,
the exclusion is temporary and expires  in  August 2020. While the  USTR is expected to publish  a
process to seek extension of the exclusion,  there can be no guarantee that the  exclusion will be
extended past August 2020. Any suspension, revocation, expiration,  non-renewal or other loss of the
granted exclusion could adversely affect  our business, financial condition and results  of  operations.  We
would be required to negotiate for increased prices to mitigate  the  impact  of the tariffs, which in turn
could impact demand for our 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.

We may  not achieve some or all of the expected  benefits  of or savings  from our restructuring initiatives, and
our restructuring initiatives may adversely  impact our business, financial  condition and results of  operations.

In 2020, we announced restructuring  initiatives to further  streamline our operations and improve

our  financial outlook. We may not be  able  to  obtain  the cost  savings  and  benefits  that  are initially
anticipated in connection with these restructuring initiatives. Reorganization  and restructuring  can
require a significant amount of management  and  other  employees’ time and  focus, which may  divert
attention from operating and growing our  business. If these initiatives are not implemented  in a timely
manner, anticipated cost savings and benefits are  not  realized, business disruption occurs  during  the
pendency of or following such actions,  or  unanticipated charges are incurred, particularly  if  material,
there may be a negative effect on our  business,  financial  condition and results of  operations.

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 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  will 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, and  successfully market and achieve
acceptance of our products.

Our business and operating results depend largely  upon providing our customers with products
that appeal to the end user. Consumer preferences are constantly changing, particularly among parents
whom are often the end purchasers of  our products. 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

9

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. 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.
The risk is also heightened by the sophistication of certain  products we are designing, in terms of
combining digital and analog technologies, and  providing  greater innovation and product
differentiation. 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 customers to minimize  their inventory
levels. If we fail to meet tight shipping schedules, we  could damage our relationships  with customers,
increase our shipping costs or cause sales  opportunities  to be delayed or lost. To deliver our
merchandise on a timely basis, we need to maintain adequate inventory levels of the desired products.
This approach requires us to begin to place orders for  components  for certain products  up to a year in
advance, and we procure a significant amount of product months in advance of certain time periods. At
the time we place factory orders, we  may not  have firm orders from customers 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.

10

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.

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.

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 most of our sales continue to be in North America, we operate  facilities  and sell products in

countries outside the United States. Additionally, as  we discuss below, we utilize third-party  suppliers
and manufacturers located in Asia to  produce a  majority of our products.  These sales and
manufacturing operations, including operations in  emerging markets that we have entered,  may enter,
or may increase our presence in, are subject to the  risks associated with international operations,
including:

• economic and political instability;

• restrictive actions by foreign governments;

• greater difficulty enforcing intellectual  property rights and weaker laws  protecting intellectual

property rights;

• trade restrictions;

• work stoppages or other changes in labor conditions;

• disease epidemics and health-related  concerns, such  as the H1N1 virus, coronavirus, or SARS

outbreaks in recent years, which could result  in closed factories, reduced  workforces, scarcity of

11

raw  materials, scrutiny or embargo of goods  produced in infected areas, or delays in
manufacturing or shipment of products to the U.S.;

• reduction in business activity in some parts of the  world;

• currency fluctuations and devaluations;

• changes in import duties or import or  export restrictions;

• compliance with anti-bribery and anti-corruption  regulations;

• untimely shipping of product and unloading of product  through West Coast  ports, as well  as

untimely truck delivery to our warehouses;

• complications in complying with the laws and policies  of the United States affecting the

importation of goods, including duties,  quotas, and taxes;

• limitations on repatriation of foreign earnings; and

• 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 reliance of manufacturers  located 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.

Earthquakes, floods, fire, epidemics or other  catastrophic events out of  our control may damage or  impact the
operations of 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. In addition, the state  of California has declared  a state of  emergency
related to the recent coronavirus outbreak, and  operations at our distribution  facility could be disrupted
or required to close if there are any employees who  are diagnosed with the coronavirus  or there is a
governmentally-imposed quarantine or other geographic  limitations  imposed on  companies doing
business in California. Any of these events  could impair distribution  of  our  products, damage inventory,
interrupt critical functions, or otherwise  affect our business  negatively, harming  our  results of
operations.

12

Any adverse change in our relationship  with  our suppliers  could harm our business.

We  rely  on numerous third-party suppliers located in Asia for  the manufacture of most of our
products. While we believe that alternative suppliers  could be located  if required, our product sourcing
could be affected if any of these suppliers do not continue  to  manufacture our products  in required
quantities or at all, or with the required levels  of  quality. We do not have any long-term supply
contracts with our foreign suppliers; rather,  we enter into  purchase  orders  with these suppliers. In
addition, difficulties encountered by these  suppliers in the countries  where  they operate, 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.  For instance, the
recent coronavirus outbreak in China may result in delays  in manufacturing of our products due to
closure of factories and delays in shipping products  to  the U.S., which could impact our sale  forecasts
and inventory levels. 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.

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 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.

13

We  maintain a quality control program to help ensure compliance  with applicable product  safety
requirements. Nonetheless, we have experienced,  and may in the future experience, issues  in products
that may lead to product liability, personal  injury or property  damage claims, recalls, withdrawals,
replacements of products, or regulatory  actions by governmental authorities. A product recall could
have 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 voluntarily recall  selected  products. Complying  with existing  or new  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 if 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 prohibit 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.

Our success is dependent in part on our executive officers,  and management turnover can create uncertainties
and could disrupt and impact our business.

Our success depends in part on the efforts of our senior management team and other key
personnel. Changes in our company as a result of management transition, including the fact that our
current Chief Executive Officer is serving on an interim basis,  can be inherently difficult to manage and
may cause disruption to our business due to, among other things, diverting management’s  attention
away from the Company’s day-to-day  business, negatively impacting  relationships with our  key  retail
customers, suppliers and employees,  or  causing a  deterioration in  workplace morale. If our  interim
CEO were to resign, we would be forced to expend  significant time and  money in the  pursuit of a
replacement.

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 may  be unable to adequately protect our  information systems  from cyberattacks,  which  could result in the
disclosure of confidential or proprietary  information, including personal data, damage  our reputation, disrupt
our operations and subject us to significant  financial and legal  exposure.

We  rely  on information technology systems, including systems managed by third parties, 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. In  the course
of our operations, we may collect and use confidential customer data  and a variety of personal data. A
successful cyberattack could result in  the theft  or destruction of intellectual property, data, or other
misappropriation of assets, or otherwise  compromise our confidential or proprietary information and
disrupt our operations. Cyberattacks are increasing in  their frequency, sophistication and intensity,
including wrongful conduct by hostile  foreign governments, industrial espionage, wire  fraud and other
forms of cyber fraud, the deployment of  harmful malware, denial-of-service and  social engineering
fraud. Cyberattacks have become increasingly  difficult to detect,  and a successful cyberattack could
cause  serious negative consequences  for us, including  the disruption of  operations and the
misappropriation of confidential business information  or personal data. Although we devote resources
to protect our information systems, we  realize  that cyberattacks  are  a  threat, and  there can  be  no
assurance that our efforts will prevent information security breaches  that would result in business, legal,
financial or reputational harm to us, or  would have a material adverse  effect on our results of
operations and financial condition. Any  failure to prevent  or  mitigate  security breaches or improper
access to, use of, or disclosure of personal data could result in significant liability under  state, federal
and international laws regarding data privacy, and may cause a material  adverse impact to our
reputation and potentially disrupt our business.

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.

15

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. In
2019, we received  a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying us that we are not in  compliance
with the minimum bid price requirement. In  order to regain compliance with this requirement, on
March 13, 2020 we implemented a 1-for-9 reverse stock split. As  of  March 16,  2020, the closing bid
price of our common stock was $2.55 per share.  However,  there is  no guarantee that our stock price
will remain above $1.00, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in like
circumstances is varied. 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.

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 product 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.

While sales in the  fourth quarter of 2019 increased  6.6% from the  previous year quarter, sales for
the full year 2019 remained relatively flat, declining by 0.3%. The year  over  year  decrease reflected the
loss of $2,954 of sales to Babies R Us, a subsidiary  of Toys  R  Us (‘‘TRU’’), that did  not  recur  in fiscal
2019 as a result of the liquidation of  TRU in 2018. We  also experienced softened demand in the  latter
half of 2019, that we believe was as a result of price increases  instituted  to  mitigate  trade tariffs. In
addition, sales in 2019 to our mid-tier  customers  and international sales  declined, affected  by  fewer
channels and a stronger dollar. We were encouraged to see  increased business with other customers
and we also achieved sales growth in our gate, potty, stroller, changing pad, soother,  and booster
categories.

Our results in 2019 were impacted by trade tariffs on imported Chinese goods  that  were first

instituted in September 2018. We believe  that we  have mitigated  most  of the effect of  tariffs during
fiscal 2019 through increased wholesale  price increases, cost  concessions, and moving  certain production
to other countries. In addition, in December 2019,  the Office of the  U.S.  Trade Representative
announced the exclusion of tariffs on  metal  baby  gates effective immediately  and retroactive to
September 2018. As a result of previously  paid metal baby  gate  tariffs, we recognized  a $1,848 tariff
refund receivable and reduced the value of our metal  baby  gate inventory by $378 on our balance sheet
as of  December 28, 2019 and recorded  a  $1,470 benefit to cost of sales in  the fourth  quarter  of 2019.
While certain of our products are still  subject to ongoing tariffs, in light  of the recent trade agreement
between the U.S. and China, we expect  an improved  tariff outlook for 2020, but  there is  no assurance
that our mitigation efforts will be successful, or that  U.S. and China trade relations will improve  in the
future.

Gross margins were flat in fiscal 2019  with the prior year at 31.7%. Selling expenses  increased  in
fiscal 2019 by $2,110 due to an increase  in  customer program terms and  higher digital marketing costs
primarily for new product launches and on-line marketing initiatives. General and  administrative
expenses declined in fiscal 2019 by $4,057  due to lower  labor and other costs as a result  of  cost
reduction actions taken in the three  months ended  March 30, 2019 and fiscal 2018 included a
non-recurring $1,813 increase in our  allowance  for  bad debts due to the  liquidation of  TRU’s U.S.
assets. We also recorded a $911 non-cash, deferred  tax charge relating to the valuation of
non-deductible interest expense in 2019.

Primarily as a result of higher selling  costs and the $911  deferred  tax valuation charge, we ended
fiscal 2019 with a net loss of $1.98 per share as  compared to a net  loss of $2.07  per  share in  fiscal  2018.

In early 2020, we announced restructuring initiatives  to  further  streamline operations and improve

our  financial outlook. If all the anticipated initiatives are  implemented,  we expect that these  actions will
result in annualized cost savings of approximately $7.5  million  when complete. In addition to headcount
savings and supplier cost concessions already  implemented, we expect  to sublease a portion  of our
warehousing facility in Riverside, California, and to vacate our  distribution  center located  in the U.K.
by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources,  we  recently amended our loan  agreements,

and as noted above, we began implementing restructuring initiatives to streamline operations and
reduce costs. We are currently assessing the  potential  impact  of  the coronavirus outbreak on our
business, including on our suppliers outside of the U.S.  and on our distribution center located in
California. Based on the information currently  available to  us, we expect that we may experience delays
in shipment of our products to the U.S.  and some delays in  manufacturing  of products.  These potential
delays may adversely affect our financial  condition  and  results of operations in  the near term,  however,
at this point, the extent of such impact  is uncertain. To the  extent we do  not  meet our  financial
projections, are unable to mitigate the  impact of ongoing tariffs, are impacted by the coronavirus
outbreak, or are not successful in implementing or realizing the  savings anticipated from  our

18

restructuring initiatives, our business,  financial position, results of operations and  cash flows would  be
adversely affected.

Reverse  Stock Split

In March 2020, we successfully completed a  1-for-9 reverse stock split of our Company’s issued
and outstanding shares of common stock  in  order  to  regain compliance  with Nasdaq’s minimum  bid
price requirement. Unless otherwise indicated,  the financial statements and accompanying notes
included in this Annual Report on Form  10-K give effect  to the reverse  stock split as if it occurred at
the first period presented.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and  Estimates

The following summary of our critical accounting policies is presented to assist  in understanding

our  consolidated financial statements. The consolidated  financial  statements and  notes are
representations of our management, who  are responsible for their integrity and  objectivity. These
accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted  in the United States of
America and have been consistently applied in the preparation  of  the consolidated financial statements.
Additional information about our accounting  policies  and estimates may be found in Note 1 to our
consolidated financial statements included in  this  report.

We  make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported  amounts  of assets and

liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  The  accounting policies described  below
are those we consider critical in preparing  our  financial statements. Some  of  these  policies  include
significant estimates made by management using information available at the time the estimates were
made. However, these estimates could  change materially  if different information or  assumptions were
used.

Revenue Recognition

We  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  customer, 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.

19

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.

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
asset’s 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
asset’s 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.

20

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.
On a global basis, the open tax years  subject to examination by  major taxing jurisdictions in which we
operate is between 2013 and 2019.

Fiscal 2019 Compared with Fiscal 2018

Net sales decreased 0.3% to $173,181 for fiscal 2019  from $173,619 for fiscal  2018 due mainly to
the fact that fiscal 2018 included $2,954  of sales to Babies R Us, a subsidiary of Toys R Us (‘‘TRU’’),
which  did not recur in fiscal 2019 as a  result of the liquidation of TRU in  2018. For fiscal 2019,  sales to
our  top three customers increased by approximately 7.1% over the prior  fiscal  year and sales increased
across several of our product categories  such as in gates, potty, strollers, changing  pads, soothers,  and
boosters.  However, these increases were  offset by (a) the  negative impact of increased tariffs imposed
on goods imported into the United States from  China that led to higher retail price  points that resulted
in softened demand and by (b) a decline in our mid-tier  and international sales that were  affected by
fewer distribution channels and a stronger dollar.

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  2019 as compared  to fiscal 2018.

Gross profit decreased 0.4% to $54,885 for fiscal  2019 from $55,119  for fiscal  2018, and  gross
margin was the same for fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018  at 31.7%.  The additional tariffs imposed  in fiscal
2019 depressed our gross margins throughout  the fiscal year as compared to fiscal 2018. By the fourth
quarter, however, we were able to offset much of the  existing tariffs through increased customer  prices,

21

supplier cost concessions, and moving  certain production to other  lower  or non-tariff countries.  In
addition, in December 2019, the Office  of the U.S. Trade Representative announced  the exclusion of
tariffs on  metal baby gates effective immediately and retroactive to September 2018 resulting in a
$1,848 tariff refund due to the Company. We recorded  $1,470 of the  tariff refund as a  benefit to cost  of
sales in the fourth quarter of 2019 to  reflect the portion  attributable to fiscal 2019.  The  remaining  $378
of the tariff refund will be taken as a benefit when the  remaining  tariffed metal  baby  gate  inventory
held as  of December 28, 2019 is sold off in fiscal 2020.

General and administrative expenses  declined 10.4% to $34,823 for  fiscal  2019 compared  to
$38,880 for fiscal 2018 and decreased as a percent of sales to 20.1% for fiscal 2019  from 22.4% for
fiscal 2018. The decrease in dollars and as  a percent of  sales was primarily attributable  to  lower labor
and other costs as a result of cost reduction actions taken in  the three months ended March 30, 2019
and a non-recurring $1,813 increase in our  allowance  for  bad debts due to the  liquidation of  TRU’s
U.S. assets in fiscal 2018.

Selling expenses increased by 17.0%  to $14,540 for  fiscal 2019 from  $12,430 for  fiscal 2018 and as

a percent of sales to 8.4% for fiscal 2019  from 7.1%  for  fiscal 2018. The increase  in selling expense
dollars and as a percent of net sales for  the fiscal  2019 was primarily attributable to increased
cooperative advertisement and consumer advertisement  costs primarily for new product launches and
on-line marketing initiatives as compared  to  fiscal  2018, which  also included a larger component of
direct import sales.

Depreciation and amortization decreased to $3,720  for fiscal 2019 from $4,182  in fiscal 2018.

Capital expenditures decreased in fiscal  2019 to $1,991 from $3,472 in fiscal 2018.

Net interest expense increased 9.7%  to  $4,871 for fiscal 2019 from $4,442 in  fiscal  2018. Interest

expense increased primarily as a result  of  higher debt  levels during  fiscal 2019 compared  to  fiscal 2018.
In addition, average interest rates under our current credit  facilities signed in  June 2018 are higher
than our previous credit facilities on a full year basis.

For fiscal 2019, we recorded a $1,095  tax  provision on $3,069 of  pretax loss  for the  period. The tax
provision  for fiscal 2019 included a $911  valuation allowance for nondeductible interest  expense, a  $191
adjustment for the forfeiture of unexercised stock  options,  and a $333 valuation  allowance against our
United Kingdom subsidiary’s net operating  loss deferred tax asset until such time  as we  can
demonstrate it is more likely than not  that  these assets will be used in the  near future.  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 adjusted taxable  income.  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.

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

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 account receivable and  increasing the  amount  of cash  required to fund working capital.

22

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 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1,535 generated
primarily from operating performance.  For fiscal 2018,  net cash provided by  operating activities  was
approximately $5,546 generated primarily from operating performance  and a  reduction in  net working
capital.

For fiscal 2019, net cash used in investing  activities was approximately $2,326.  For  fiscal 2018, net

cash used in investing activities was approximately $3,472.  The decline in the  use of cash in  investing
activities was primarily attributable to a  reduction in  capital expenditures  in fiscal 2019.

For fiscal 2019, net cash provided by financing activities  was approximately $719 to fund our

capital expenditures. 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.

Based primarily on the above factors, net cash decreased  for fiscal 2019 by $326,  resulting in a

cash balance of approximately $395 at  fiscal  year end.

Estimated future interest payments on our Revolving  Facility  and Term Loan Facility are  based

Capital Resources

In addition to operating cash flow, we also rely  on our asset-based revolving credit facility with

Bank of America, N.A. and our term  loan agreement  with Pathlight Capital  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 projections, do not adequately control expenses, or

adjust our operations accordingly, we may experience constraints  on our liquidity and may not meet the
financial and other covenants under our  credit  facility and term loan agreement, which could impact
our  availability. There is no assurance  that we will  meet all of our financial or other  covenants in the

23

future, or that our lenders will grant waivers or agree to amend  the  terms of our agreements  with them
if there are covenant violations. In such  case, we may be required to seek to raise  additional funds
through debt or equity financings, restructure  our existing debt,  engage in  strategic collaborations,
and/or a strategic transaction that is in  the best interest of  our stockholders. Any such  financing or
strategic transaction could result in significant dilution to our existing  stockholders,  depending  on the
terms of the transaction. If we are unable  to identify a strategic transaction, raise  additional funds,
and/or restructure our existing debt, our  operations could be limited and  we may  not  be  able to meet
all of our obligations under our credit facility and term  loan agreement.

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 $48,000 asset-based revolving credit facility (as it may be amended from time to time,
the ‘‘Restated BofA Agreement’’). Total borrowing capacity under the Restated BofA Agreement  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. Loans under the Restated BofA Agreement are scheduled to mature  on 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, and certain of our subsidiaries are  guarantors.

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. We are  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 and certain financial 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. Through the end  of fiscal 2020, the
Company is required to achieve (i) a  minimum net  sales  amount  for each  three consecutive months,
measured at the end of each month,  and  (ii) a trailing 12-month minimum adjusted  EBITDA amount,
measured at the end of each month.  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.

As of December 28, 2019, the interest rates for base-rate loans  and LIBOR-rate  loans under  the
Restated BofA Agreement were 6.50%  and  4.625%, respectively. At December 28, 2019, the amount
outstanding under the asset-based revolving credit  facilty was $32,226, total borrowing capacity  was
$39,109, and borrowing availability was $6,883.

Following the end of fiscal 2019, we amended  the Restated BofA Agreement on  January 17, 2020

and March 10, 2020. For additional information on the Restated BofA  Agreement and the recent
amendments, please see Note 5 and Note 12 to our 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 (as it may be amended from  time to time, 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, provided that, in connection  with the  recent amendments to our Term  Loan Agreement,
principal payments for March, June and September  2020 have  been suspended.  In addition, in
connection with the recent amendments to our Term Loan Agreement,  the term loan  began to accrue
PIK (payment in kind) interest at an  annual rate of 4.0% in March 2020,  which interest will become
payable upon repayment of the term  loan or earlier upon  the occurrence  of  certain events. The term
loan matures on June 28, 2023. Obligations under the Term Loan  Agreement are also subject to 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 asset-based  revolving credit
facilty, and certain of our subsidiaries  are  guarantors.

The Term Loan Agreement contains  customary affirmative and negative covenants  and certain
financial covenants that are substantially  the same as  the Restated  BofA  Agreement described  above.

The interest rate for the Term Loan  Agreement was 10.91%  as of December 28, 2019.  The amount

outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement at  December, 28,  2019 was $16,406.

Following the end of fiscal 2019, we amended  the Term Loan Agreement on  January 17, 2020  and

March 10, 2020. For additional information on  the Term Loan  Agreement and recent  amendments,
please see Note 5 and Note 12 to our 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  28, 2019 or

the year ended December 29, 2018.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU  No.  2016-02, Leases (‘‘ASU  2016-02’’). ASU  2016-02
requires lessees to recognize most leases  on their balance sheet as a right-of-use  asset and  a lease
liability. Leases are classified as either  operating or finance, and classification is based on  criteria
similar to past lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. In  July 2018,  the FASB  issued
ASU No. 2018-10,  ‘‘Codification Improvements to Topic  842, Leases’’ (‘‘ASU  2018-10’’), which provides
narrow amendments to clarify how to  apply  certain aspects of  the  new  lease  standard, and
ASU No. 2018-11,  ‘‘Leases (Topic 842)—Targeted Improvements’’ (ASU 2018-11),  which addresses
implementation issues related to the new lease standard. The guidance  became effective for  annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018  and  interim periods  within those fiscal years.

The Company adopted the standard on the effective date of December 30,  2018 by applying  the

new lease requirements at the effective  date. The Company also elected the package  of  practical
expedients permitted under the transition  guidance within the new standard, which, among other things,
allows the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The impact of  the adoption of
ASC 842-Leases (‘‘ASC 842’’) on the consolidated balance sheet on the date of adoption was an
increase of $6,411 in assets and an increase of $7,037  of liabilities for  the recognition of right-of-use

25

assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of ASC 842 was  immaterial to the consolidated results of
operations and cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,  Financial Instruments-Credit Losses  (Topic 326):
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial  Instruments and  a  subsequent amendment to the initial
guidance, ASU 2018-19 Codification Improvements to Topic 325, Financial Instruments-Credit  Losses
(collectively, Topic 326). Topic 326 requires measurement  and  recognition of expected credit losses for
financial assets held, which include, but  are not limited to, trade  and other receivables.  The new
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December, 15, 2022. The  Company is  currently
evaluating the impact of this guidance on its  consolidated  financial  statements.

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

Special Note Regarding Forward Looking  Statements

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

Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and  Section  21E of the Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as
amended. These statements concern  management’s current assumptions, estimates, beliefs, plans,
strategies and expectations and anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters
that are not historical facts. Such forward-looking information may  be  identified  by  terms such  as
‘‘expect,’’ ‘‘anticipate,’’ ‘‘believe,’’ ‘‘outlook,’’  ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘estimate,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘predict’’ and similar terms
or variations thereof, and includes statements regarding our expectations  with respect to the  benefits of
and savings from our restructuring initiatives, including an expected $7.5 million of annualized  cost
savings, the potential impact of the coronavirus outbreak in China on our results of  operations, our
liquidity for the next 12 months, and expected  trends and product  offerings  in 2020. These statements
are based on a series of expectations, assumptions, estimates and  projections  about our Company,  are
not guarantees of future results or performance, and involve significant risks, uncertainties  and other
factors, including assumptions and projections,  for all  forward periods. Our actual results may differ
materially from any future results expressed or implied  by such forward-looking statements.  Such
factors include, among others, the following:

• the impact of increased tariffs, additional tariffs  or import  or  export taxes on  the cost of  our

products and therefore demand for our  products, or  the suspension, non-renewal or revocation
of any exclusion from tariffs on our products;

• the concentration of our business with certain retail customers who may  change their  purchasing

policies or suffer liquidity problems or bankruptcy;

• our ability to compete by introducing new products  or enhancing existing  products that satisfy

consumer preferences;

• our ability to develop and introduce new products  in a timely and cost effective  manner;

• our ability to compete effectively with larger and smaller companies that have more  financial

resources and greater e-commerce presence than us;

• our ability to implement and to achieve  the expected  benefits and savings of our restructuring

initiatives;

• our ability to manage inventory levels and meet customer demand;

• our ability to maintain sufficient availability  under and to comply with financial and  other

covenants in our credit facility and term loan agreement;

• our ability to manage our debt to provide additional liquidity  to  support growth;

26

• the potential disruption to our business resulting  from the coronavirus outbreak,  including our

suppliers located outside the U.S. and our distribution  facility located in California;

• our reliance on foreign suppliers and  potential disruption in  foreign markets in which we

operate;

• increases in the cost of raw materials  used  to  manufacture our products;

• our ability to protect our intellectual  property;

• compliance with safety and testing  regulations for our products;

• product liability claims arising from  use of  our products;

• our ability to identify and hire a permanent President and  CEO;

• potential exposure to greater than  anticipated tax  liabilities;

• an impairment of other intangible assets;

• any failure, inadequacy or interruption of our information technology systems resulting  from

cyberattacks or other failures that may disrupt our operations and  lead to disclosure of
confidential or proprietary data; and

• our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock  Market.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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  Interim Chief Executive Officer and  our  Chief Financial Officer,  of  the effectiveness  of our
disclosure controls and procedures as  of December 28, 2019. 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  28, 2019.

(b) Management’s Report on Internal  Control over Financial Reporting

Management of our Company is responsible  for establishing and maintaining adequate  internal
control over financial reporting. As defined in Rule  13a-15(f) under the  Exchange Act, internal  control
over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the  supervision of, a  company’s principal
executive and principal financial officers and effected by  a company’s board of directors, management
and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance  regarding the reliability  of financial  reporting and
the preparation of financial statements for  external purposes  in accordance with  generally accepted
accounting principles. It includes those policies and procedures  that:

1) Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately  and fairly

reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets  of a company;

2) Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary  to  permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles,
and that receipts and expenditures of a  company are  being  made only in  accordance with
authorizations of management and the board  of directors  of  the company; and

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 28,

2019, 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 28, 2019.

(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 28, 2019 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 28, 2019  and  December 29,  2018, 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 28, 2019 and December 29,  2018, 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:31), SwaddleMe(cid:30), and born free(cid:30).

Reverse  Stock Split

As a subsequent event, on March 13, 2020, the  Company successfully completed  its reverse stock

split and reduced its common stock outstanding by a  ratio of  one  for nine. Per  ASC 505-10, if a reverse
stock split occurs after the date of the  latest reported balance sheet but before  the release of the
financial statements, then such changes in  the capital  structure must be given  retroactive effect in  the
balance sheet. As such, the reverse stock split has been retroactively  applied to all years reported in
these financial statements.

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  28, 2019 and December 29,  2018.

Reclassification

Previously reported amounts have been revised in the accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet
and statements of  stockholders’ equity to properly state certain  foreign currency transactions. As of
December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, accumulated deficit has been  increased  by  $1,039 and
accumulated comprehensive loss has  been decreased by  the same amount. These revisions had no
impact on the company’s net income  and  total stockholders’ equity  for the  year ended December  29,
2018.

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 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.

F-8

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued)

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.  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
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  customer, 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements  in conformity with  accounting principles generally accepted

in the United States of America requires  management  to  make estimates and assumptions that affect
certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates  are based  on management’s best knowledge
of current events and actions the Company  may undertake in the  future. Accordingly, actual  results
could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash flows, cash and cash equivalents  include  money  market accounts and investments with an

original maturity of three months or  less.  At times, the Company possesses cash balances in excess  of
federally-insured limits.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are carried at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an
allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company  estimates doubtful  accounts based on historical bad
debts, factors related to specific customers’ ability to pay and  current economic  trends. The Company
writes off accounts receivable against  the allowance when  a  balance is determined to be uncollectible.
Amounts are considered to be uncollectable based upon historical experience and management’s
evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable.

Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are  as follows:

Inventory Valuation

Inventory is comprised mostly of finished goods and  some  component parts and is  stated  at the
lower of cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)  method, or net  realizable value.  The Company regularly
reviews slow-moving and excess inventories,  and  writes down inventories  to  net realizable value if  the
ultimate expected net proceeds from  the disposals of excess inventory are less than the  carrying cost  of
the merchandise.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a  lease at inception. Operating leases  are included

in operating lease right-of-use (‘‘ROU’’)  assets and lease liabilities in the  Company’s consolidated
balance sheets.

F-10

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued)

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an  underlying  asset for the lease term  and lease
liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.  Operating
lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date  based on  the present value  of
lease payments over the lease term. As the  Company’s leases  do not provide  an implicit rate,  the
Company’s uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at  commencement
date  in determining the present value  of  lease  payments. The operating lease ROU  asset also includes
any lease payments made and excludes  lease incentives.  The  Company’s lease terms may include
options to extend or terminate the lease when  it is reasonably certain that the  Company will exercise
that option.

The components of a lease should be split  into  three categories: lease components (e.g., land,
building, etc.), non-lease components (e.g., common  area maintenance,  maintenance, consumables,
etc.), and non-components (e.g., property  taxes, insurance,  etc.). Then the fixed and in-substance fixed
contract consideration (including any related  to  non-components) must be allocated based  on fair
values to the lease components and non-lease components.  Although separation of  lease and  non-lease
components is required, certain practical  expedients are  available to entities. Entities  electing  the
practical expedient would not separate lease  and  non-lease components.  Rather,  they would  account for
each  lease component and the related non-lease component together as a single  component. The
Company’s facilities operating leases  have lease  and  non-lease components to which the  Company has
elected to apply the practical expedient and  account for each lease component and related non-lease
component as one single component. The lease  component  results in  a ROU asset  being  recorded on
the balance sheet. Lease expense for  lease  payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the  lease
term.

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 the

straight-line method.

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.

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

F-11

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued)

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
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.
Deferred income tax assets are recorded  on  a net basis as a  long term asset.

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  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  $3,509

and $2,045 for the fiscal years ended December 28, 2019 and December  29, 2018, 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 $10,379 and $9,555 for the  fiscal years ended  December  28, 2019 and December  29,
2018, respectively.

Segment Information

Operating segments are identified as components  of  an enterprise about which separate, discrete

financial information is available for  evaluation by the  chief operating decision-maker, or decision-
making group, in making decisions on  how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company
views its operations and manages its business  as one operating  segment utilizing an omni-channel
distribution strategy.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated  by dividing net  loss for the period by the weighted average

number of common stock outstanding  during  the period.

F-13

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  (Continued)

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
101,320 and 123,114 shares of the Company’s common stock and  22,392 and 30,220 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 28, 2019 and December 29,  2018, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU  No.  2016-02, Leases  (‘‘ASU 2016-02’’).  ASU 2016-02
requires lessees to recognize most leases  on their balance sheet as a right-of-use  asset and  a lease
liability. Leases are classified as either  operating or finance, and classification is based on  criteria
similar to past lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. In  July 2018,  the FASB  issued
ASU No. 2018-10,  ‘‘Codification Improvements to Topic  842, Leases’’ (‘‘ASU 2018-10’’),  which provides
narrow amendments to clarify how to  apply  certain aspects of  the  new  lease  standard, and
ASU No. 2018-11,  ‘‘Leases (Topic 842)—Targeted Improvements’’ (ASU 2018-11),  which addresses
implementation issues related to the new lease standard. The guidance  became effective for  annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018  and  interim periods  within those fiscal years.

The Company adopted the standard on the effective date of December 30,  2018 by applying  the

new lease requirements at the effective  date. The Company also elected the package  of  practical
expedients permitted under the transition  guidance within the new standard, which, among other things,
allows the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The impact of  the adoption of
ASC 842-Leases (‘‘ASC 842’’) on the consolidated balance sheet on the date of adoption was an
increase of $6,411 in assets and an increase of $7,037  of liabilities for  the recognition of right-of-use
assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of ASC 842 was  immaterial to the consolidated results of
operations and cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,  Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326):
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial  Instruments and  a  subsequent amendment to the initial
guidance, ASU 2018-19 Codification Improvements to Topic 325,  Financial Instruments-Credit  Losses
(collectively, Topic 326). Topic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit  losses for
financial assets held, which include, but  are not limited to, trade  and other receivables.  The new
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December, 15, 2022. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this guidance on its  consolidated  financial  statements.

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.

2020 Plan

The Company believes that its existing plan will  generate  sufficient cash which, along with its
existing cash and availability under its  facilities,  will  enable  it to fund operations through  at least the
next 12 months. However, should the Company require  additional  cash, the Company would identify
other cost reductions or seek additional  resources.

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.

Contract Balances

The Company does not have any contract assets such as work-in-process or contract liabilities such

as customer advances. All trade receivables on the  Company’s consolidated balance sheet 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 2019 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 (as amended, the ‘‘Restated BofA
Agreement’’). The Restated BofA Agreement replaced the Company’s  prior credit facility  with Bank of
America, and provided for an asset-based revolving  credit facility,  with a $5,000  letter of credit sub-line
facility. Total revolver commitments under  the credit  facility were  $60,000 as of December 28, 2019,  and
were reduced to $48,000 as of March 10, 2020.  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

F-16

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

5. DEBT (Continued)

inventory or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value  of  eligible inventory, less applicable reserves.
The scheduled maturity date of loans  under the Restated  BofA Agreement is June 28, 2023 (subject to
customary early termination provisions).  The  Restated BofA Agreement  was amended  on March 25,
2019 and November 1, 2019 to, among other things, (i) modify certain  definitions, (ii) increase the
applicable margins on base rate and LIBOR revolver loans by 50 basis points,  (iii) modify the
definition of Financial Covenant Trigger Amount; and (iv) require that the Company engage a financial
advisor  to assist with providing a weekly, 13-week cash flow forecast. Subsequent to fiscal year end, on
January 17, 2020 and March 10, 2020, the  Company entered into further amendments  to  the Restated
BofA Agreement. See Note 12 for information regarding these amendments.

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 and financial 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. Through the end of fiscal 2020, the  Company is  required
to achieve (i) a minimum net sales amount  for each  three consecutive months, measured at the end  of
each  month, and (ii) a trailing 12-month minimum adjusted EBITDA amount, measured  at the  end of
each  month. 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 Agreement and the  occurrence of  a change of control.  In the  event of a default,
the lenders may declare all of the obligations of the Company  and its subsidiaries under the Restated
BofA Agreement immediately due and  payable. For  events of default  relating  to  insolvency and
receivership, all outstanding obligations automatically become due and payable without  any action  on
the part of the lenders.

As of December 28, 2019, under the Restated BofA Agreement, the  rate on base-rate loans  was

6.50% and the rate on LIBOR-rate loans was 4.625%. The amount outstanding on the Restated BofA
Agreement at December 28, 2019 was $32,226. Total borrowing  capacity at  December 28,  2019 was
$39,109 and borrowing availability was $6,883.

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’’).

F-17

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

5. DEBT (Continued)

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 stepped 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 on
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 (as  amended,  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 Term Loan Agreement  was amended  on March 25,  2019 and  November 1, 2019 to,
among other things, (i) amend certain definitions to be consistent with the  Restated BofA Agreement,
(ii) amend the definition of IP Advance Rate Reduction; and (iii) consistent with the Restated BofA
Agreement, require that the Company engage  a financial advisor to assist with  providing a  weekly,
13-week cash flow forecast. Subsequent to fiscal year  end, on  January 17, 2020  and March 10, 2020,  the
Company entered into further amendments to the  Term Loan Agreement  was  further amended. See
Note 12 for information regarding these amendments.

The principal of the Term Loan is being repaid,  on a  quarterly basis, in installments of $219, with
the first installment having been paid on  December 1, 2018, until paid in full on termination, provided
that, in connection with the recent amendments to the Term Loan  Agreement, principal payments for
March, June and September 2020 have  been suspended, and such payments  will  resume effective
March 2021. The Term Loan bears interest at  an annual rate equal to LIBOR,  plus 9.0%. Interest
payments are due monthly, in arrears.  In  addition, in connection with the recent amendments to the
Term Loan Agreement, the term loan  began to accrue PIK (payment in kind) interest at an annual rate
of 4.0% in March 2020, which interest will  become payable upon  the earlier to occur of (i) the
repayment of the term loan in full, (ii) a  sale  or merger of the  Company, (iii) the occurrence  of  default
or event of default under the Term Loan Agreement, or (iv) the  Company achieving adjusted  EBITDA
of $12 million (calculated on a trailing,  12-month basis).  If, and only if,  the PIK  interest  becomes due
and payable as a result of the Company  achieving the adjusted EBITDA  event noted in clause (iv),

F-18

SUMMER INFANT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

5. DEBT (Continued)

then the Company will pay all PIK interest then  due and thereafter, PIK interest  will  continue to
accrue and be paid on each subsequent  anniversary of such event. 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  and financial
covenants that are  substantially the same as  the Restated BofA Agreement. Through the end of fiscal
2020, the Company is required to achieve  (i) a minimum net  sales amount  for each three consecutive
months, measured at the end of each  month, and (ii) a  trailing 12-month minimum  adjusted EBITDA
amount, measured at the end of each month. 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 or the  occurrence of a
change of control. In the event of a default, the lenders may declare all of the obligations of  the
Company and its subsidiaries under the Term Loan Agreement immediately due and  payable. For
events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all  outstanding obligations automatically
become  due and payable without any  action on the part of the  lenders.

As of December 28, 2019, the interest rate on  the Term Loan was 10.91%. The amount

outstanding on the Term Loan at December 28, 2019  was  $16,406.

The Restated BofA Agreement and the Term  Loan Agreement were  evaluated to determine  the

proper accounting treatment for the  refinancing  transaction as of June 28, 2018. 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 second 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.

5. DEBT (Continued)

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
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 28, 2019, approximately $441  of  the lease obligation was included in accrued
expenses, with the balance of approximately $2,000  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  year
ending December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018  the Company had non-deductible interest for  tax
purposes  resulting in a deferred tax asset in  the amount of $1,880  and $933  respectively. The Company
recorded  a valuation allowance on the value  of this  deferred tax asset  until such time as it becomes
more likely than not that this asset will  be  recognized.

As of December 28, 2019, the Company had approximately $2,955 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 2019.  As of December 28, 2019, the
Company had approximately $874, $322, $2,871,  $489, and $1,753 of NOLs in Canada, Australia,  Israel,
Asia, and the United Kingdom, respectively, which can  be  carried  forward indefinitely.

6. INCOME TAXES (Continued)

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 determined that  a valuation  allowance in the
amount of $2,270 at December 28, 2019 and $2,290 at December 29, 2018 relating to certain  state tax
credits and foreign NOLs was necessary. Due to the Tax Act,  the  Company determined  a valuation
allowance in the amount of $2,675 at  December 28,  2019 and  $1,728 at December  29, 2018 relating to
interest deduction limitations and foreign tax  credits  was  necessary.

December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 is  set forth below:

The unrecognized tax benefits mentioned  above included 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.  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  188,889  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  333,334 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 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 of $319  and $523,
respectively. Share based compensation  expense is  included in  selling, general and administrative
expenses.

7. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION  (Continued)

As of December 28, 2019, there are 71,468 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 2019
and 2018 is based  on awards that are  ultimately expected  to vest.

unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards, which is expected to be
recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of  2.2 years.

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards require no payment from the  grantee. The related compensation cost of

each  award is calculated using the market price  on the  grant date  and is expensed equally  over the
vesting period. A summary of restricted stock  awards  made in the year ended December 28,  2019, is as

As a subsequent event, on March 13,  2020, the Company completed a 1-for-9 reverse  stock  split
reducing the outstanding common shares to 2,108,743. All of the  above transactions  occurred prior to
the completion of the reverse stock split and, the  issuances noted above had the  effect  of being divided

2007, the Company adopted a matching plan which  was  further amended in  2013, and which was
funded throughout the year. For the  years  ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, the
Company recorded 401(k) matching expense  of $311 and $380, respectively.

9. MAJOR CUSTOMERS

Sales to the Company’s top seven customers together comprised  approximately 81% of our sales  in
fiscal 2019 and 77% of our sales in fiscal 2018. Of these customers,  three generated  more than 10% of
sales for fiscal 2019: Amazon.com (26%), Walmart (25%),  and Target (17%). In fiscal 2018, three
customers generated more than 10%  of  sales:  Amazon.com  (23%), Walmart  (23%), and Target  (16%).

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

The Company leases office space and distribution centers primarily  related to its Riverside
California, Canada, United Kingdom,  and  Hong  Kong  operations. In November 2019, the  Company
signed a  new two-year lease agreement  to  continue occupying the same office space in Hong Kong. The
agreement did not include any termination or extension options. In  connection with  these  leases, there
were no cash incentives from the landlord  to be used for the construction of leasehold improvements
within the facility. Our headquarters  in  Woonsocket, Rhode Island continues  to  be  accounted for  as a
sale-leaseback lease.

The Company identified and assessed the  following  significant assumptions in recognizing the

right-of-use asset and corresponding  liabilities:

• Expected  lease term—The expected lease term includes both contractual lease periods and,  when
applicable, cancelable option periods when it is  reasonably  certain that the Company would
exercise such options. These leases have remaining  lease terms between 1.75 and  3.5 years. The
Canada lease has one 5-year extension option that has  also not been  included in the lease term.

• Incremental borrowing rate—The Company’s lease agreements do  not  provide an implicit  rate. As

the Company does not have any external borrowings for  comparable  terms of its leases,  the
Company estimated the incremental borrowing  rate based on  secured borrowings available to the
Company for the next 5 years. This is the  rate the  Company would have to pay if borrowing on
a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the  lease payments  in a similar
economic environment.

• Lease and non-lease components—In certain cases the Company is required  to  pay  for certain

additional charges for operating costs, including insurance,  maintenance, taxes,  and other costs
incurred, which are billed based on both  usage and as a  percentage  of  the Company’s share of
total square footage. The Company determined that these costs are non-lease components  and
they are not included in the calculation of the  lease liabilities because  they are  variable.
Payments for these variable, non-lease components are considered variable lease  costs and are
recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred.

ended December 28, 2019, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2020 (the “Original Filing”). 
We are filing this Amendment to amend Part III of the Original Filing to include the information required by and not included in Part

pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are including with this Amendment new certifications of our

Item 15 of Part IV has also been amended to reflect the filing of these new certifications.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing.  The Original Filing continues to speak 

as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at 
a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

As used in this Amendment, unless the context requires otherwise, “our company,” “Summer,” “our” and “we” means 

Summer Infant, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

from our executive officers and directors, we believe that each person who, at any time during the fiscal year, was a director, officer or 
beneficial owner of more than 10% of our common stock, complied with all Section 16(a) requirements during the fiscal year, except 
for Jason Macari, who filed two late Form 4 filings reporting five purchase transactions.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation

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.

Our industry is highly competitive and has many participants, and our ability to compete effectively in our industry is 

dependent in part on our ability to attract, motivate and retain key management personnel and qualified employees. Historically, we 
have followed a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, with the intent to, over time, bring salaries and total executive 
compensation in line with approximately the median (50th percentile) of the companies represented in our peer group.  However, we 
have not been able to compensate our executives anywhere near this level in past years due to our Company’s financial performance, 
stock price and the limited pool of shares available for issuance under our equity plan.

The below discussion outlines the Company’s approach to executive compensation leading up to 2019.  However, in 2019, 
given the uncertainty of the impact on the Company’s results of trade tariffs on imported Chinese goods, including tariffs imposed in 
2018, proposed new tariffs and increases in existing tariffs, the Compensation Committee, with the approval of the Board, determined 
not to adopt an annual bonus incentive program for fiscal 2019. The Company’s actual fiscal 2019 sales ended relatively flat, 
declining by 0.3%.  In late 2019, we experienced a change in senior management, with Mark Messner, our former Chief Executive 
Officer stepping down.  In light of the Company’s financial situation at the end of 2019, the Board appointed Stuart Noyes as the 
Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer pursuant to an engagement with Winter Harbor, LLC, a consulting firm specializing in 
turnaround and restructuring services.

Our Board has appointed a Compensation Committee consisting of independent directors as required by applicable SEC and 
Nasdaq Stock Market rules.  The Compensation Committee is authorized to determine and approve, or make recommendations to our 
Board with respect to, the compensation of our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and our other executive officers, and to 
grant or recommend the grant of stock-based compensation to our executive officers and employees.  The Compensation Committee 
also reviews our compensation policies and practices for all employees.

Historically, our philosophy is to compensate our executives at levels that enable us to attract, motivate and retain highly 
qualified executives.  In the past, the components of executive compensation have been base salary, annual incentive bonuses and 
equity award grants. The Compensation Committee aims to provide salaries that are competitive with those paid by comparable 
companies for similar work, based on each executive’s experience and performance.  In prior years, our compensation program has 
included an annual bonus program designed to reward individuals for performance based primarily on the Company’s achievement of 
financial goals as well as the individual’s achievement of personal and strategic goals that contribute to building stockholder value.  In 
addition, annual grants of stock-based awards are intended to provide additional incentive to executives to work to enhance long-term 
total return to stockholders and to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders.  Total compensation levels 
reflect the executive’s position, responsibilities, tenure, individual experience and achievement of goals.  Compensation levels may 
vary from year to year and among our various executive officers with fixed and variable pay components.  The Compensation 
Committee and the Board may also, from time to time, desire to recognize individual contributions to the Company and to encourage 
continued outstanding performance by granting discretionary bonuses, in the form of cash or equity awards.

3

We provide only certain executive fringe benefits. Generally our executives receive health and welfare benefits, such as 

group medical, dental, life and long-term disability coverage, under plans generally available to all other employees.  We believe that 
our executives should be able to provide for their retirement needs from the total annual compensation they earn based on our 
performance.  Accordingly, other than an employer matching contribution under our 401(k) plan, which is the same that we provide 
all of our employees, we do not offer our executives any nonqualified pension plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, 
deferred compensation plans or other forms of compensation for retirement.  We may provide for fringe benefits, such as auto 
allowances, commuting benefits, housing or relocation benefits in individually negotiated executive employment agreements.

Role of the Compensation Committee and Management

The Compensation Committee currently determines or recommends to the Board the compensation of our chief executive 
officer, chief financial officer and our other executive officers.  Annually, our Compensation Committee, together with our Board, 
evaluates the performance of and determines the compensation of our chief executive officer in light of the goals and objectives of our 
compensation program for that year.  Our Compensation Committee annually assesses the performance of our other executive officers 
and considers recommendations from our chief executive officer when determining the compensation of our other executive officers.  
As discussed below, the Compensation Committee may also consider input from other independent directors, our compensation 
consultant and benchmarking studies and surveys, but retains absolute discretion as to whether to adopt any recommendations as it 
deems appropriate.

At the request of our Compensation Committee, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and other executive 

officers may attend our Compensation Committee meetings, including meetings at which our compensation consultant is present.  
This enables our Compensation Committee to review with senior management the strategic and individual goals.  Our Compensation 
Committee ultimately makes all determinations regarding financial and individual goals and targets.  Our chief executive officer does 
not attend any portion of meetings at which his compensation is discussed.

The Compensation Committee also, in consultation with its independent compensation consultant, considers changes to our 

compensation programs as appropriate in response to input from stockholders through our annual Say on Pay vote and evolving 
factors such as the business environment and competition for talent.  As part of its 2019 compensation setting process, the 
Compensation Committee reviewed the results of the Say on Pay vote regarding executive compensation paid in 2018, in which 
approximately 99% of the votes cast were voted in favor of our executive compensation program.

The Compensation Committee has authority to retain (at our Company’s expense) outside counsel, compensation consultants 

and other advisors to assist as needed.  The Compensation Committee considers input and recommendations from our outside 
compensation consultants in connection with its review of our Company’s compensation programs and its annual review of the 
performance of the other executive officers.  In 2019, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of an independent 
compensation consultant, Pearl Meyer.  The Compensation Committee retains Pearl Meyer directly, although in carrying out 
assignments Pearl Meyer also interacts with management when necessary and appropriate to obtain compensation and performance 
data. As required under SEC rules, the Compensation Committee reviews the services of its compensation consultant to evaluate 
whether any conflicts of interest are raised, taking into consideration certain factors, including whether the consultant provides any 
other services to our Company, the amount of fees our Company pays to the consultant, whether there are any business or personal 
relationships with an executive officer of our Company or with any committee member, and whether the consultant owns any stock of 
our Company.  On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee will continue to monitor the independence of its compensation 
consultants. The Compensation Committee determined, based on its evaluation, that the work of Pearl Meyer has not created any 
conflict of interest.  In 2019, Pearl Meyer assisted the Compensation Committee with the following: (i) attended Compensation 
Committee meetings as requested; (ii) provided advice and analysis of the design of the Company’s short-term and long-term 
incentive programs; and (iii) reviewed and provided comments on named executive officers’ compensation and the disclosure 
regarding executive compensation in the proxy statement for the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

Compensation Benchmarking

In determining compensation levels, the Compensation Committee believes that it is important when making compensation-
related decisions to be informed as to the practices of publicly-held companies of similar size, revenue and market focus.  As a result, 
the Compensation Committee relies on its independent compensation consultant to help define the appropriate competitive market 
using a combination of peer group companies and industry-specific compensation surveys.  The Company’s peer group currently 
consists of the companies noted below.

Named Executive Officer Compensation in 2019

JAKKS Pacific, Inc.
Lifetime Brands, Inc.
Nautilus Inc.
Rocky Brands, Inc.
Turtle Beach Corporation
ZAGG Inc.

Our named executive officers for 2019 were Stuart Noyes, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Paul Francese, Senior Vice 
President and Chief Financial Officer, and Mark Messner, former President and Chief Executive Officer.  Mr. Noyes joined our 
Company in December 2019, replacing Mr. Messner.

Interim CEO

Winter Harbor Engagement. Mr. Noyes does not receive any compensation directly from the Company, but was engaged 
pursuant to the terms of an engagement letter between the Company and Winter Harbor, LLC dated December 9, 2019 (the “Letter 
Agreement”), to act as the Company’s Interim CEO, effective December 16, 2019.  Mr. Noyes reports to the Board, and, together with 
other Winter Harbor advisors, provides restructuring and advisory services to the Company. Compensation for the services provided 
under the Agreement for the first ten weeks of the engagement were determined based on agreed-upon hourly rates, subject to a cap of 
$35,000 per week (other than holiday weeks, which were capped at $15,000 each week) and thereafter upon actual hours worked or 
such other mutually agreed upon fee structure, plus any out-of-pocket expenses. In February 2020, the Compensation Committee 
approved, and the Company entered into, an amendment to the Letter Agreement that provides for compensation at a weekly rate of 
$40,000, effective beginning the week of February 24, 2020 through the termination of the engagement letter. The Letter Agreement, 
as amended, also includes a bonus (within a range of $50,000 to $550,000) payable to Winter Harbor if the Company engages in a 
transaction that constitutes a “change in control” (as defined in the Company’s existing Change in Control Plan) and the Company’s 
stockholders receive a specified amount of per share consideration, the amount of such bonus to vary depending on such per share 
consideration. The Company has also agreed to indemnify Winter Harbor, Mr. Noyes and other Winter Harbor personnel in 
connection with the engagement, subject to customary terms and conditions. Either party may terminate the Letter Agreement upon 30 
days’ prior written notice.

Prior to entering into the Letter Agreement, in November 2019 in connection with the Company’s amendment to its credit 

facilities, the Company engaged Winter Harbor to provide financial advisory services (the “Advisor Agreement”) and paid a retainer 
of $25,000. Compensation under the Advisor Agreement is determined based on agreed-upon hourly rates for actual hours worked, 
plus any out-of-pocket expenses and a 1% administrative fee on the total amount of each invoice to cover administrative costs. As of 
December 28, 2019, the Company had paid or accrued approximately $35,774 related to services provided under the Advisory 
Agreement, including expenses and administrative fees. Fees for services under the Advisor Agreement engagement are separate 
from, and in addition to, fees paid under the Letter Agreement.  Fees paid to Winter Harbor under the Letter Agreement are included 
in the Summary Compensation Table set forth in the Executive Compensation section below.

Other Named Executive Officers

Base Salaries.  There were no base salary increases for Messrs. Messner or Francese in 2019.

Annual Incentive Bonus.  As discussed above, no annual incentive bonus program was approved for fiscal 2019.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards.  For 2019, our annual equity-based incentive compensation awards for executive 

officers and senior management employees were in the form of restricted stock awards and stock options in amounts generally below 
the market 25th percentile for similar companies due to our stock price and share pool size.  Messrs. Messner and Francese each 
received an annual equity award comparable to prior years. The vesting schedule for these awards is 25% per year, with vesting 
beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. In connection with his separation from the Company as described below, a portion 
of Mr. Messner’s 2019 annual equity award was accelerated.

The following table sets forth, for fiscal years 2018 and 2019, information regarding compensation of our named executive

Employment Arrangements with Current Named Executive Officers

Stuart Noyes. Our Interim CEO, Mr. Noyes, does not receive any compensation directly from the Company.  See “Winter 

Harbor Engagement” and the Summary Compensation Table above regarding compensation paid to Winter Harbor, LLC for Mr. 
Noyes’ services.

Paul Francese.  Pursuant to the terms of his offer letter with the Company, Mr. Francese receives an initial annual base salary 

of $330,000, and is eligible to participate in the Company’s short-term incentive bonus program beginning in fiscal year 2019, with a 
target equal to 40% of his base salary.  He is also eligible to participate in our long-term incentive plan and any other bonus plans, as 
determined by the Compensation Committee, and is eligible to receive all medical, dental and other benefits to the same extent as 
provided to other senior management employees.  Further, the Company agreed to reimburse Mr. Francese for certain living expenses 
incurred during his first month of employment in an amount not to exceed $8,000.  If Mr. Francese’s employment is terminated by us 
without cause, or Mr. Francese terminates his employment for good reason, then he is entitled to receive a cash severance payment 
equal to six months of his then current base salary, payable in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices and subject 
to the Company’s receipt of a general release and termination agreement from Mr. Francese.  Mr. Francese is a participant in the 
Company’s Change in Control Plan, described below, pursuant to which he is entitled to compensation in the event he is terminated 
for certain reasons following a change in control of the Company.

Separation Agreement and General Release with Former Chief Executive Officer

In November 2019, the Company, Summer Infant (USA), Inc. and Mr. Messner entered into a Separation Agreement and 
General Release (the “Separation Agreement”) regarding the terms of his departure from the Company. Pursuant to the Separation 
Agreement, in consideration for a general release and covenants from Mr. Messner, Mr. Messner received (i) cash severance totaling 
$150,000.00, (ii) accelerated vesting of a total of 31,250 shares (3,473 shares on a post-split adjusted basis) under outstanding 
restricted share awards, (iii) accelerated vesting of a total of 31,250 stock options (3,473 options on a post-split adjusted basis) under 
outstanding stock option awards, (iv) an extension of the option exercise period for all vested and unexercised stock option awards 
until June 30, 2020, and (v) reimbursement for COBRA coverage expense up to November 30, 2020.  In addition, the Company 
assumed remaining obligations under Mr. Messner’s apartment lease in Rhode Island and will provide, at its expense, outplacement 
services to Mr. Messner for a period of up to 12 months following his separation.

Change in Control Plan

In February 2018, the Board approved a Change in Control Plan.  Under the “double trigger” provisions of the Change in 
Control Plan, a participant will be entitled to certain payments if (1) there is a change in control and (2) within the 12-month period 
following the change in control, the participant’s employment is terminated without cause by the Company or for good reason by the 
participant.  If these events occur, a participant will be entitled to receive payments based on their tier under the Plan for a period of 
time following the termination.  Our Interim CEO, Mr. Noyes, does not participate in the Change in Control Plan.  Our CFO, Mr. 
Francese, is a Tier 2 participant in the Change in Control Plan, and would receive the following benefits:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

a cash payment equal to his annual base salary times the applicable tier multiplier (1.0x for our CFO), payable over 
a period of time following termination (12 months for our CFO);

a cash payment equal to the pro-rated portion of the participant’s annual cash bonus actually achieved for the fiscal 
year in which the termination occurs, payable when such payment would otherwise be paid after the end of the 
relevant performance period; and

a cash payment equal to one times the monthly premiums for the participant’s group medical, dental and vision 
coverage for a period of time (12 months for our CFO), payable monthly provided that such payments will end if the 
participant becomes eligible to participate in similar plans with a subsequent employer.

In addition, any unvested equity awards held by our CFO that were granted prior to the change in control will accelerate and 

vest in full as of the participant’s termination date, and any unvested performance-based equity awards will be deemed vested and 
earned assuming achievement at the target performance level.  As a condition to receiving payments under the Plan, participants must 
execute a severance agreement and release, which includes non-competition and similar covenants that remain in effect for 12 months 
for our CFO.

Retirement Plans

We have a Section 401(k) plan and provide an employer matching contribution, which is the same that we provide all of our 

employees.  We do not offer our executives any nonqualified pension plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, deferred 
compensation plans or other forms of compensation for retirement.

Director Compensation

For fiscal 2019, the following director compensation program was in place for our non-employee directors:

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

for the first two quarters of 2019, an annual retainer fee of $90,000 for the Chairperson and $45,000 for other non-
employee directors, which was reduced to $70,000 and $35,000, respectively, beginning in the third quarter of 2019;

for any meetings beyond four regularly scheduled board meetings per year, a fee of $1,000 for each board meeting 
attended in person;

8

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

(cid:120)

the chairpersons of the Audit, Compensation, Nominating/Governance and Marketing Committees received an additional 
annual fee of $15,000, $10,000, $8,000 and $8,000, respectively;

each director serving as a member of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating/Governance Committees (other than the 
chairperson of each such committee) received an annual fee of $5,000; and

on the date of our annual meeting of stockholders, each director other than our Chairperson received an annual equity 
award, in the form of 7,500 shares (834 shares on a post-split adjusted basis) and the Chairperson received an annual 
equity award, in the form of shares of our common stock, of 15,000 shares (1,667 shares on a post-split adjusted basis).

We also generally reimburse non-employee directors for travel expenses incurred in connection with their duties as directors.  
In addition, our Board of Directors may from time to time also provide for cash compensation, as recommended by the Compensation 
Committee, payable to members of special or ad hoc committees of the Board of Directors.

Other than as disclosed in this proxy statement, we do not pay any directors who are also executive officers any additional 

compensation for service as directors.

Director Compensation in 2019

The following table shows non-employee director compensation in 2019.  Mark Messner, our former Chief Executive 

Officer, served on the Board during 2019 and did not receive any additional compensation for his service as a director.  For
