Tuesday Morning Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
The terms “Tuesday Morning,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Tuesday Morning Corporation and its subsidiaries. Other than as disclosed in this document, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021July 2, 2022 for our critical accounting policies.
1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation — The condensed consolidated financial statements herein include the accounts of Tuesday Morning Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") and have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). As applicable under such regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed or omitted. We believe the presentation and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading, and the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. We do not present a condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income as there are no other comprehensive income items in either the current or prior fiscal periods.
Our business results historically have fluctuated throughout the year and, as a result, the operating results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021.July 2, 2022. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2021July 2, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
On February 23, 2022, the board of directors of theThe Company approvedis in a change in the fiscal year end from a calendar year ending on June 30 to awith 52-53 week year ending on the Saturday closest to June 30, effective beginning with fiscal year 2022.30. In a 52 week fiscal year, each of the Company’s quarterly periods will comprise 13 weeks. The additional week in a 53 week fiscal year is added to the fourth quarter, making such quarter consist of 14 weeks. The Company made the fiscal year change on a prospective basis and will not adjust operating results for prior periods.
We operate our business as a single operating segment.
(A) Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include credit card receivables and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. At AprilOctober 1, 2022 and July 2, 2022, and June 30, 2021, credit card receivables from third party consumer credit card providers were $6.85.6 million and $3.26.3 million, respectively. Such receivables generally are collected within one week of the balance sheet date.
(B) Restricted Cash—RestrictedThere was no restricted cash as of October 1, 2022.
(C) Fair Value Measurements—The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820-10”). ASC 820-10 defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
For certain financial instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and current liabilities, including convertible notes payable, each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.
Liquidity
The Company has evaluated its going concern disclosure requirements as of October 1, 2022, under ASC-205 “Going Concern”. The Company determined that as of July 2, 2022, there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to remain a going concern. However, the Company concluded that as a result of the funds generated from the Private Placement (as defined in Note 3 below), and the funds expected to be generated from operating activities in fiscal 2023, available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings under the New ABL Facility will be sufficient to fund its planned operations and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months, and comply with its debt covenant of maintaining $22.37.5 million in availability under its New ABL Facility. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
8
Management's expected plans to generate adequate funds from operating activities, include cost management of payroll, reductions in year over year distribution costs, the sale of new product categories, and better alignment of merchandise purchases and receipts with sales demand, among others. This evaluation is based on relevant conditions and events that are currently known or reasonably knowable, as of June 30, 2021, which was held in the Unsecured Creditor Claims Fund (defined below in Note 2).November 22, 2022.
Emergence from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Proceedings
In response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, on May 27, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), we filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On December 31, 2020, we legally emerged from bankruptcy following Bankruptcy Court approval and resolution of all material conditions precedent listed in our Plan of Reorganization (as defined below). However, the closing of an equity financing transaction was considered a critical component to the execution of our confirmed Plan of Reorganization, therefore, we continued to apply the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC') 852 – Reorganizations until that transaction closed on February 9, 2021. In connection with our legal emergence from bankruptcy on December 31, 2020, the Company completed certain debt financings (including an asset-based revolving credit facility and a term loan) and sale-leaseback transactions of our corporate office and Dallas distribution center properties contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization. The Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered for procedural purposes. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, we continued to operate our businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. In accordance with orders of the Bankruptcy Court, we entered into certain debtor-in-possession financing arrangements to provide financing during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. See "Debtor-In-Possession Financing Arrangements" in Note 3 “Debt” belowto our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2022 for additional information regarding these debtor-in-possession financing arrangements.
In early June 2020, in accordance with orders of the Bankruptcy Court, we commenced the process to close 132 store locations. By the end of July 2020, all of these stores were permanently closed. In mid-July 2020, we began the process to close an additional 65 stores following negotiations with our landlords, and those store closures were completed in August 2020. In total, we permanently closed 197 stores during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. In addition, we closed our Phoenix, Arizona distribution center (“Phoenix distribution center”) in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
On November 16, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries filed with the Bankruptcy Court a proposed Revised Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Amended Plan”) and a proposed Amended Disclosure Statement (the “Amended Disclosure Statement”) in support of the Amended Plan describing the Amended Plan and the solicitation of votes to approve the same from certain of the Debtors’ creditors with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases. The Amended Plan and the Amended
8
Disclosure Statement contemplated the debt financing transactions described in Note 3 below under the caption “Post-Emergence Debt Financing Arrangements,“ABL Credit Agreements,” the exchange and Rights Offering (defined in Note 612 below) and the sale-leaseback transactions described in Note 8 below.
On December 23, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Amended Plan, with certain modifications described in the Confirmation Order (as modified and confirmed, the “Plan of Reorganization”). On December 31, 2020, all of the conditions precedent to the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied and the Company completed the debt financing and sale-leaseback contemplated in the Plan of Reorganization. However, the closing of the Rights Offering was considered a critical component to the execution of our confirmed Plan of Reorganization, therefore, we continued to apply the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 852 – Reorganizations until that transaction closed on February 9, 2021.
In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, effective December 31, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s board of directors was comprised of 9nine members, including 5five continuing directors of the Company, 3three new directors appointed by the Backstop Party (as defined in Note 612 below) and 1one director appointed by the equity committee in the Chapter 11 Cases.
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on January 4, 2021 was exchanged for (1) 1one new share of the Company’s stock and (2) a share purchase right entitling the holder to purchase its pro rata portion of shares available to eligible holders in the Rights Offering described under the caption “Equity Financing under the Plan of Reorganization” in Note 6 below.7 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 2, 2022. On February 9, 2021, the Company completed the equity financing contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization.
On September 29, 2021, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued a final decree (the “Final Decree”) closing the Chapter 11 Cases of the Company and its subsidiaries. While the Company emerged from bankruptcy proceedings on December 31, 2020, the Chapter 11 Cases remained opened pending final resolution of all claims of general unsecured creditors. The Company was able to resolve all of the claims for approximately $14 million less than the amounts reserved and retained in the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund. Upon entry of the Final Decree, the approximately $14 million remaining in the escrow account was returned to the Company to make a repayment on its ABL credit facility and the Chapter 11 Cases are now final.

On June 6, 2022, the Company received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company was not in compliance with the Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
9
Under Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will have a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 5, 2022, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, during the 180-calendar day compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. The notification of noncompliance had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which continues to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TUEM.”
In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement within the 180-calendar day compliance period, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during an additional 180-calendar day compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to the staff of Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting.
The Company committed to Nasdaq to implement a reverse stock split promptly following such stockholder approval in order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On September 28, 2022, the majority stockholder of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation for a reverse stock split at a ratio within the range of 1 share for 20 shares to 1 share for 100 shares, subject to approval of the Board of Directors of the final ratio and timing of the reverse stock split. Pursuant to SEC Rule 14c-2, the approval of the majority stockholder could not become effective until November 14, 2022 (the 20th calendar day following mailing of an information statement to the Company’s stockholders). The reverse stock split remains subject to final board approval and the filing of the certificate of amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State. While the Company expects the reverse stock split to become effective in November, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
On November 4, 2022, Andrew T. Berger was appointed as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Berger previously served as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Berger resigned from his position on the Audit Committee. As a result, the Audit Committee has been reduced to two members, each of whom is an independent director pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Company currently is not compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2), which requires that the audit committee of a Nasdaq listed company consist of at least three members, each of whom is an independent director pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, on November 7, 2022, the Company notified Nasdaq of Mr. Berger’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer and resignation from the Audit Committee and the resulting non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2). The Company also received a letter from Nasdaq indicating the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 and noting that the Company would, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B), have a cure period until the earlier of its next annual meeting of stockholders or May 3, 2023 to regain compliance.
The Company intends to appoint an additional independent director to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee as soon as practicable and prior to the expiration of the cure period under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B).

Impact ofUpdates on the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on our business operations, store traffic, employee availability, financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity and cash flow. On March 25, 2020, we temporarily closed all of our 687stores nationwide, severely reducing revenues, resulting in significant operating losses and the elimination of substantially all operating cash flow. As allowed by state and local jurisdictions, 685 of our stores gradually reopened as of the end of June 2020, and 2 were permanently closed during the quarter.2020. In accordance with our bankruptcy planPlan of reorganization,Reorganization, described below, we completed the permanent closure of 197 stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and the closure of our Phoenix, Arizona distribution center (“Phoenix distribution center”) in second quarter of fiscal 2021. In addition, as part of our restructuring, we secured financing to pay creditors in accordance with the plan of reorganization and to fund planned operations and expenditures.
FutureThe extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition will depend on future developments, including future surges in incidences of COVID-19 and the severity of any such resurgence, the rate and efficacy of vaccinations against COVID-19, the length of time that impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue, how fast economies will fully recover from the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on the potential further geographic spread and duration of the ongoing pandemic, the timing and extent of recovery infurther impacts on traffic and consumer spending in our stores, the extent and duration of ongoing impacts to domestic and international supply chains and the related impacts on the flow, and availability and cost of products, the production and administration of effective medical treatments and vaccines, and the actions that may be taken by various governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

2.Bankruptcy Accounting BANKRUPTCY ACCOUNTING
Reorganizations require that the condensed consolidated financial statements, for periods subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases until we qualified for emergence under ASC 852, the condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and reflect the application of ASC 852. Accordingly, certain expenses, gains and losses that were realized or incurred in the bankruptcy proceedings were recorded in Reorganization items, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, an escrow account (the “Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund”) was established for the benefit of holders of allowed general unsecured claims. Upon the closing of the sale and leaseback of the Corporate Office and the Dallas Distribution Center properties and the issuance of the Term Loan (as defined in Note 3 below), net proceeds of $67.5 million, after payment of property taxes, and $18.8 million, respectively, were deposited directly into the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund that was administered by an independent unsecured claims disbursing agent. The remaining proceeds from the Term Loan that were not deposited into the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund were deposited into our operating account. In addition, $14.2 million of additional cash was deposited into a segregated bank account at Wells Fargo Bank and was restricted for use in paying compensation for services rendered by professionals on or after the Petition date and prior to the approval of the Effective Date. The closing of the Rights Offering described in Note 612 below provided approximately $40.0 million of cash that was deposited to the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund and recorded as restricted cash. During the fiscal 2021, all services rendered by professionals were paid and the Wells Fargo Restricted Fund account was closed with all of the applicable funds disbursed. Net cash remaining of $1.9 million was deposited directly into our unrestricted cash account during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
Our Plan of Reorganization was confirmed on December 23, 2020, and all listed material conditions precedent were resolved by the December 31, 2020 legal effective date of emergence as governed by the Bankruptcy Court. However, the closing of our Rights Offering was considered a critical component to the execution of our confirmed Plan of Reorganization, therefore, we continued to apply the requirements of ASC 852 until that transaction closed on February 9, 2021.
On September 29, 2021, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued a Final Decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases of the Company and its subsidiaries. While the Company emerged from bankruptcy proceedings on December 31, 2020, the Chapter 11 Cases remained opened pending final resolution of all claims of general unsecured creditors. The Company was able to resolve all of these claims for approximately $14 million less than the amounts reserved and retained in the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund. Upon entry of the Final Decree, the approximately $14 million remaining in the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund was returned to the Company to make a repayment on its ABL credit facility and the Chapter 11 Cases are now final.
As of October 1, 2022, we had zero cash held in the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund held on the balance sheet for the payment of claims.
We were not required to apply fresh start accounting based on the provisions of ASC 852 as there was no change in control and the entity’s reorganization value immediately before the date of confirmation was more than the total of all its post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we also executed a sale-leaseback agreement on our owned real estate as part of our Plan of Reorganization, recognizing a gain of $49.6 million (see Note 1 and Note 8), the proceeds of which, along with other sources of financing, were utilized to satisfy allowed claims and are thus categorized as a reorganization item. These gains partially offset the costs of Rights Offering of $19.0 million, professional fees of $34.0 million and claims related cost of $0.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

Pre-Petition Financing Agreements
Through December 31, 2020, we were party to a credit agreement that provided for an asset-based, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the original amount of up to $180.0 million which was scheduled to mature on January 29, 2024 (the “Pre-Petition ABL Credit Agreement”).

Debtor-In-Possession Financing Agreements
On May 29, 2020, we entered into a Senior Secured Super Priority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP 3. DEBT
ABL Credit Agreement”) among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, for itself and the other lenders, which provided for a super priority secured debtor-in-possession revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $100.0 million. On July 10, 2020, we entered into a Senior Secured Super Priority Debtor-In-Possession Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the “DIP DDTL Agreement”) with the Franchise Group, Inc., which provided for delayed draw term loans in an amount not to exceed $25.0 million. We made no borrowings under the DIP ABL Credit Agreement or the DIP DDTL Agreement. On December 31, 2020, the DIP ABL Credit Agreement and the DIP DDTL Agreement were terminated in connection with our legal emergence from bankruptcy.
Post-Emergence Financing Arrangements
Agreements
On December 31, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. (collectively, the “Lenders”) that provided for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of $110.0 million (the “Post-Emergence ABL Facility”). The Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement included conditions to borrowings, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default customary for financings of this type and size. The Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement required the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if borrowing availability fell below certain minimum levels, after the first anniversary of the agreement. We were not required to be compliant per the lender agreement until after the first anniversary of the agreement.
Under the terms of the Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement, amounts available for advances would be subject to a borrowing base as described in the Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement. Under the Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement, borrowings initially bore interest at a rate equal to the adjusted LIBOR rate plus a spread of 2.75% or the Commercial Bank Floating Bank rate plus a spread of 1.75%.
The Post-Emergence ABL Facility was secured by a first priority lien on all present and after-acquired tangible and intangible assets of the Company and its subsidiaries other than certain collateral that secures the Term Loan (as defined below). The commitments of the Lenderslenders under the Post-Emergence ABL Facility were due to terminate and outstanding borrowings under the Post-Emergence ABL Facility was due to mature on December 31, 2023.
On May 9, 2022, the Company, Tuesday Morning, Inc. (the “Borrower”) and each other subsidiary of the Company (together with the Company and the Borrower, the "Company Credit Parties") entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New ABL Credit Agreement”) with the lenders named therein (the “ABL Lenders”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “ABL Administrative Agent”), and 1903P Loan Agent, LLC, as FILO B documentation agent. The New ABL Credit Agreement replaced the Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement. The New ABL Credit Agreement provides for (i) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of $110.0 million (the “New ABL Facility”), which includes a $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $25.0 million sublimit for letters of credit, (ii) a first-in last-out term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $5.0 million (the “FILO A Facility”) and (iii) an additional first-in last-out term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $5.0 million (the “FILO B Facility” and, collectively with the New ABL Facility and the FILO A Facility, the “New Facilities”). In addition, under the original terms of the New ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower had the right, on and following November 9, 2022 (the “FILO B Delayed Incremental Loan”), to request (x) an additional incremental loan under the FILO B Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million, and (y) additional incremental commitments from the FILO B lenders to make additional loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
AsOn May 9, 2022, the Borrower borrowed approximately $75.2 million under the New ABL Facility, $5.0 million under the FILO A Facility and $5.0 million under the FILO B Facility (collectively, the “Closing Date Loans”). A portion of April 2,the aggregate proceeds from the Closing Date Loans was used to (i) repay all outstanding indebtedness (the “Existing ABL Loans”) under the Post-Emergence ABL Facility, along with accrued interest, expenses and fees, (ii) purchase of a portion of the Term Loan for the aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million (the “Loan Repurchase”), and (iii) pay transaction costs related to the transactions described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and the execution and delivery of the New ABL Credit Agreement and related loan documents. The remainder of the proceeds from the Closing Date Loans, as well as the proceeds from future borrowings, will be used for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.
Pursuant to an amendment to the New ABL Credit Agreement dated July 11, 2022, the lenders under the FILO B Facility (the "FILO B Lenders") agreed to make the FILO B Delayed Incremental Loan to the Borrower on July 11, 2022. The amendment also provides that, until certain minimum borrowing availability levels are satisfied as described in the amendment, the Borrower will be subject to additional reporting obligations, the Borrower will retain a third-party business consultant acceptable to the ABL Administrative Agent, and the ABL Administrative Agent may elect to apply amounts in controlled deposit accounts to the repayment of outstanding borrowings under the New ABL Facility. The July 11, 2022 amendments to the New ABL Agreement were accounted for as a debt modification. In addition, pursuant to the amendment, certain subsidiaries of the Borrower agreed to enter into and maintain a supply agreement with Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, LLC (the “Program Agent”), an affiliate of a FILO B Lender, pursuant to which the Program Agent supplies inventory to the Borrower and certain of its subsidiaries.
On September 20, 2022, the New ABL Credit Agreement was further amended in connection with the Private Placement (defined below). The amendment restricts certain actions by the Company for the next two years, including making certain acquisitions and debt prepayments. The amendment requires that the Company engage and retain (at the Company’s expense) Gordon Brothers Retail Partners for a certain period of time for the purpose of performing appraisal validations, monitoring and evaluating the Company’s inventory mix and other services. The amendment also permitted the change in control caused by the issuance of shares to the SPV (as defined below) upon exchange of the Convertible Debt (as defined below) for shares. On September 20, 2022, $7.5 million of the borrowings under the FILO A Facility and FILO B Facility were repaid. See “September 2020 Private Placement” below for additional information.

The New ABL Credit Agreement includes conditions to borrowings, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default customary for financings of this type and size. Pursuant to the New ABL Credit Agreement, the Borrower and its subsidiaries must maintain borrowing availability under the New ABL Facility at least equal to the greater of (i) $7.5 million and (ii) 7.5% of the Modified Revolving Loan Cap, as defined in the New ABL Credit Agreement.
Amounts available for advances under the New Facilities are subject to borrowing bases as described in the New ABL Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the New ABL Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the option of the Borrower, (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.25%, or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.25%, in each case with such margins depending on the Borrower’s average quarterly borrowing availability under the New ABL Facility. Borrowings under the FILO A Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the option of the Borrower, (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR plus 3.00%, or (ii) the Base Rate plus 2.00%. Borrowings under the FILO B Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the option of the Borrower, (i) the Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 9.00%, or (ii) the Base Rate plus a margin of 8.00%, in each case with such margins depending on seasonal periods. The “Adjusted Term SOFR” is the term SOFR plus a term SOFR adjustment of 0.10% for loans under the New ABL Facility or a term SOFR adjustment of 0.00% for loans under the FILO A Facility and the FILO B Facility. The “Base Rate” is the greatest of (i) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, (ii) the term SOFR plus 1.00%, and (iii) the prime rate of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. Each of the Adjusted Term SOFR and the Base Rate is subject to a 0.00% floor with respect to the New ABL Facility and a 1.00% floor for each of the FILO A Facility and the FILO B Facility.
During the three months ended October 1, 2022, we had $54.12.0 million additional deferred financing costs for the FILO B, classified as long term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The New Facilities are secured by a first priority lien on all present and after-acquired tangible and intangible assets of the Company and its subsidiaries other than certain collateral that secures the Term Loan (as defined below). Each of the New Facilities will terminate, and outstanding borrowings thereunder will mature, on the earlier of (i) May 10, 2027, and (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to maturity of the Term Loan.
As of October 1, 2022, we had $31.4 million of borrowings outstanding under the Post-EmergenceNew ABL Facility and, $14.6 million of letters of credit outstanding. We had borrowing availability of $26.625.3 million under the Post-EmergenceNew ABL Facility as of April 2,October 1, 2022.
As further described in Note 13 below, on May 9,of October 1, 2022, we entered intohad $6.7 million in deferred financing costs net of amortization for the New ABL Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 13) and used a portionFacility, of which $4.1 million was incurred this quarter for the amendment to the New ABL. Of this amount, $3.7 million was paid from the proceeds of the proceeds from borrowings under the New Facilities (as defined in Note 13) to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the Post-Emergence ABL Facility, along withprivate placement and $0.4 million was accrued interest, expenses and fees. See Note 13 below for additional information regarding the New ABL Credit Agreement.as of October 1, 2022.

On December 31, 2020, the Company, Alter Domus (US), LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders named therein (the "Term Loan Lenders"), including Tensile Capital Partners Master Fund LP ("Tensile") and affiliates of Osmium Partners, LLC, ("Osmium"), entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) to provide a term loan of $25.0 million to the Company (the “Term Loan”).
In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, on December 31, 2020, 3three new directors were selected for membership on the Board of Directors by Osmium Partners (Larkspur SPV), LP, ("Larkspur SPV"Larkspur") an affiliate of Tensile and Osmium. Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, Tensile and affiliates of Osmium held $19.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of the $25.0 million outstanding Term Loan. Representatives of Osmium and Tensile both holdheld seats on the board from December 31, 2020 to September 20, 2022 and therefore Osmium and Tensile arewere related parties to the Company.Company (see Note 12).
PursuantOn May 9, 2022, the Company, the Borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, certain of the Term Loan Lenders (the “Consenting Lenders”), and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent, entered into an amendment to the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) each Consenting Lender agreed to the Loan Repurchase, (ii) concurrently with the consummation of the Loan Repurchase, each Consenting Lender agreed to waive and forgive an amount of the accrued and unpaid interest owed to such Consenting Lender , (iii) it was agreed that immediately, automatically and permanently upon the consummation of the Loan Repurchase, the Term Loans assigned pursuant to the Loan has a maturity dateRepurchase would be deemed cancelled and of December 31, 2024no further force and bears interest at a rate of 14% per annum, with interest payable in-kind (“PIK”). Under the terms ofeffect and (iv) the Term Loan Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, (x) provide that the TermBorrower and its subsidiaries shall not permit the borrowing availability under the New ABL Facility to be less than the greater of (A) $7.5 million and (B) 7.5% of the Modified Revolving Loan is secured by a second lienCap, (y) permit the Borrower to borrow on the collateral securing$5.0 million committed FILO B accordion, subject to certain conditions, on and following November 9, 2022, and (z) provide that, commencing with the New Facilities (as defined in Note 13) and a first lien on certain other assets of12-month period ending September 30, 2023, the Company as described inwould be subject to compliance with a total secured leverage ratio.
In July 2022, the Term Loan Credit Agreement.Agreement was further amended to permit the early borrowing of the FILO B Delayed Incremental Loan and to make other changes to conform to the New ABL Credit Agreement, accounted for as debt modification as there are no changes in the borrowing capacity. In addition, on September 20, 2022, the Term Loan Credit Agreement was further amended to permit the Private Placement to be completed and to make certain other amendments, including removal of the total secured net leverage ratio covenant from the Term Loan Credit Agreement and permitting the change in control caused by the issuance of shares to the SPV upon conversion of the Convertible Debt for shares.
14
The amendments to the Term Loan agreement in September 2022 were accounted for as a debt modification. The Term Loan will be carried net of the associated debt issuance costs which will be amortized and recorded as interest expense using the effective interest rate based on the amendments. The third party issuance costs of $0.7 million incurred from the refinancing of the term loan was expensed for the period ended October 1, 2022.
As of October 1, 2022, we have $25.3 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, including PIK interest of $0.9 million.
September 2022 Private Placement
On September 20, 2022, the Company, the Borrower, certain members of management of the Company (the “Management Purchasers”), TASCR Ventures, LLC (the “SPV”), a special purpose entity formed by Retail Ecommerce Ventures LLC (“REV”) and Ayon Capital L.L.C., and TASCR Ventures CA, LLC, as collateral agent, entered into an Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement dated as of September 20, 2022 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, on September 20, 2022, the SPV purchased: (i) $7.5 million in aggregate principal amount of a junior secured convertible notes issued by the Company (the “FILO C Convertible Notes”), and (ii) $24.5 million in aggregate principal amount of junior secured convertible notes (the “SPV Convertible Notes”). In addition, the Management Purchasers purchased $3.0 million in aggregate principal amount of junior secured convertible notes issued by the Company (the “Management Convertible Notes” and, together with the SPV Convertible Notes, the “Junior Convertible Notes”). The FILO C Convertible Notes and the Junior Convertible Notes are referred to herein as the “Convertible Debt” and the issuance of the Convertible Debt is referred to herein as the “Private Placement.”
The Convertible Debt was issued by the Company and guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries.
The Convertible Debt is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.077 per share. Accordingly, 415,584,415 shares of the Company’s common stock would be issuable upon conversion in full of the Convertible Debt purchased by the SPV. In addition, 38,961,039 shares of the Company’s common stock would be issuable upon conversion in full of the Convertible Debt to be purchased by the Management Purchasers. Because the Company does not currently have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of common stock to issue upon conversion of all of the Convertible Debt, as described below, only a portion of the Convertible Debt was immediately convertible into common stock. The remaining portion of the Convertible Debt cannot be converted into common stock unless and until the Company’s certificate of incorporation is amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to permit such conversion and/or provide for a reverse stock split of the common stock. The conversion feature within the Convertible Debt represents an embedded derivative. See "Derivative Liabilities" below for additional information.
The Convertible Debt is subject to optional prepayment aftercustomary anti-dilution adjustments for structural events, such as splits, distributions, dividends or combinations, and customary anti-dilution protections with respect to issuances of equity securities at a price below the first anniversaryapplicable conversion price of the dateConvertible Debt. A portion of issuance atthe Convertible Debt issued to the SPV was immediately convertible for up to 90,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. On September 21, 2022, the SPV elected to immediately convert a prepayment price equalportion of the Convertible Debt into 90,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and through such conversion, acquired ownership of a majority of the Company's outstanding common stock. On September 28, 2022, the SPV approved an amendment to (1) the Company's certificate of incorporation to (i) increase the number of authorized shares to allow for conversion in full of the remaining Convertible Debt, and provide such additional authorized shares as deemed appropriate by the Company's board of directors and/or (ii) provide for a reverse stock split of the common stock (the "Certificate of Incorporation Amendment"). See “Listing” under Note 1 above for additional information. Upon conversion in full of the Convertible Debt and based on the Company's outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis as of September 28, 2022, the SPV would hold approximately 75% and the SPV and the Management Purchasers collectively would hold 81% of the total diluted voting power of the Company's common stock (not including any additional Convertible Debt that may be issued as a result of the Company being required or electing to make in-kind payments of interest as described further below). In connection with the conversion of the portion of the Convertible Debt that was immediately convertible, approximately $6.9 million in principal amount of the Term Loan, plus (2) accruedSPV Convertible Notes were retired. In connection therewith, we recorded a reduction of $2.5 million in debt, $3.9 million from our derivative liability, and unpaid interestloss on extinguishment of $7.7 million, and a resulting impact of $13.5 million from stockholders' equity to reflect the dateconversion from debt to common stock and amortization of prepayment, plus (3) the prepayment premium, if any. debt issuance cost of $0.6 million.
The prepayment premium (which may not be less than zero) is equal to (1) 125%conversion of the original principal amount of the Term Loan, minus (2) the aggregate principal amount of the loans advanced as of the prepayment date, plus all accrued interest thereon accrued as of such date. The Term Loan is subjectConvertible Notes to
13
mandatory prepayment common stock on September 22, 2022, resulted in connection with a change of control of the Company given the SPV held greater than 50% of the outstanding voting common stock and control of the Company’s Board as describeddiscussed below.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the purchasers of the Convertible Debt, pursuant to which the purchasers received customary shelf registration, piggyback and demand registration rights with respect to the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock acquired upon conversion or exchange of the Convertible Debt.
15
In accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the SPV designated each of Tai Lopez, Alexander Mehr, Maya Burkenroad, Sandip Patel and James Harris (collectively, the “SPV Designees”) to serve as directors of the Company effective upon the closing of the Private Placement on September 20, 2022. In connection with the election the SPV Designees to the Company’s board of directors, each of Douglas J. Dossey, Frank M. Hamlin, W. Paul Jones, John Hartnett Lewis and Sherry M. Smith resigned from the Company’s board of directors. Each of the remaining incumbent directors Fred Hand, Anthony F. Crudele, Marcelo Podesta and Reuben E. Slone continued to serve on the board following the closing of the Private Placement. Each of Messrs. Crudele, Podesta and Slone resigned from the board of directors on September 28, 2022 and in connection therewith each of Andrew T. Berger, Michael Onghai and Z. John Zhang were elected as directors. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events below for additional information.
The Nasdaq Stock Market rules would normally require stockholder approval prior to closing the Private Placement; however, the Company requested and has received a financial viability exception to the stockholder approval requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(f). The financial viability exception allows an issuer to issue securities upon prior written application to Nasdaq when the delay in securing stockholder approval of such issuance would seriously jeopardize the financial viability of the Company.
As required by Nasdaq rules, the Company’s Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent and disinterested directors, expressly approved reliance on the financial viability exception in connection with the Private Placement and related transactions.
The proceeds of the Private Placement were used to (i) repay $7.5 million of the FILO A term loans and FILO B term loans under the New ABL Credit Agreement; (ii) repay of a portion of the Borrower’s revolving loans under the New ABL Credit Agreement; and (iii) payment of transaction costs. In addition, the remaining proceeds will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
In connection with its approval of the Private Placement, the board of directors approved a waiver of the ownership restrictions in Article 11 of the Company’s certificate of incorporation with respect to the securities issuable in the Private Placement. Article 11 generally prohibits any person or group from acquiring more than 4.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and restricts transfers in securities owned by holders of 4.5% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
FILO C Convertible Notes. In connection with the Private Placement, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, the SPV purchased the FILO C Convertible Notes. The FILO C Convertible Notes will mature upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2027, or (ii) the maturity of the FILO B term loan under the ABL Credit Agreement. Interest will accrue on the FILO C Convertible Notes at a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus 6.50% and will be payable semiannually. Under the terms of the FILO C Convertible Notes, during the two-year period following the closing of the Private Placement, the Company may elect to pay interest on the FILO C Convertible Notes “in kind” by increasing the principal of the FILO C Convertible Notes by the amount of any such interest payable. The provisions of the intercreditor agreements relating to the FILO C Convertible Notes and other outstanding indebtedness of the Company require such payments to be made “in-kind" subject to certain limited exceptions applicable after the second anniversary of the Private Placement.
The FILO C Convertible Note is secured by the same collateral that secures (i) the revolving loans and FILO A and FILO B term loans under the ABL Credit Agreement (collectively, the "ABL Obligations"), (ii) the term loan issued under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. TheAgreement, and (iii) the Junior Convertible Notes. With respect to the collateral as to which borrowings under the New ABL Credit Agreement have a first priority lien, the ABL Obligations have a first priority lien, the lien on such collateral securing the FILO C Convertible Note ranks junior to the lien securing the ABL Obligations and senior to the Term Loan Credit Agreement also includes customaryand the Junior Convertible Notes. With respect to the collateral as to which Term Loan has a first priority lien, the lien on such collateral securing the FILO C Note ranks junior to the liens securing the ABL Obligations and the Term Loan and senior to the lien securing the Junior Convertible Notes. With respect to payment priority, the FILO C Convertible Note is subordinate to the ABL Obligations, pari passu with the Term Loan, and senior to the Junior Convertible Notes.
For the three months ended October 1, 2022, we had $0.7 million in deferred financing costsnet of amortization for the FILO C Convertible Notes.
The FILO C Convertible Notes contain covenants and events of default.default that are customary for this type of financing.
Junior Convertible Notes. The Junior Convertible Notes will mature on December 31, 2027. Interest will accrue on the Junior Convertible Notes at a rate equal to SOFR plus 6.50% and will be payable semiannually. Under the terms of the Junior Convertible Notes, during the two-year period following the closing of the Private Placement, the Company may elect to pay interest on the Junior Convertible Notes “in kind.” The provisions of the intercreditor agreements relating to the Junior Convertible Notes and other outstanding indebtedness of the Company will require such payments to be made “in-kind” subject to certain limited exceptions applicable after the second anniversary of the Private Placement.
The Junior Convertible Notes are secured by the same collateral that secures the revolving loans and FILO B term loans under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Term Loan and the FILO C Convertible Notes (the “Other Secured Debt”). The liens securing the Junior Convertible Notes rank junior to the liens securing the Other Secured Debt. With respect to payment priority, the Junior Convertible Notes are subordinated to all of the Other Secured Debt.
16
For the three months ended October 1, 2022, we had $1.5 million in deferred financing costs for the SPV Junior Convertible Notes. This amount isnet of extinguishment of unamortized issuance cost of $0.6 million proportionate to the conversion of the SPV Convertible Notes to common stock on September 22, 2022.
For the three months ended October 1, 2022, we had $0.3 million in deferred financing costs of Management Convertible Notes.
The Junior Convertible Notes contain covenants and events of default that are customary for this type of financing.

4. Revenue recognitionREVENUE RECOGNITION
Our revenue is earned from sales of merchandise within our stores and is recorded at the point of sale and conveyance of merchandise to customers. Revenue is measured based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive, reduced by point of sale discounts and estimates for sales returns, and excludes sales tax. Payment is due at the time of sale. We maintain a reserve for estimated returns, as well as a corresponding returns asset in “Other Assets” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and we use historical customer return behavior to estimate our reserve requirements. NaNNo impairment of the returns asset was identified or recorded as of April 2,October 1, 2022. Gift cards are sold to customers in our stores and we issue gift cards for merchandise returns in our stores. Revenue from sales of gift cards and issuances of merchandise credits is recognized when the gift card is redeemed by the customer, or if the likelihood of the gift card being redeemed by the customer is remote (gift card breakage). The gift card breakage rate is determined based upon historical redemption patterns. An estimate of the rate of gift card breakage is applied over the period of estimated performance and the breakage amounts are included in net sales in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Breakage income recognized was $0.20.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended April 2,October 1, 2022 and March 31, 2021, respectively. Breakage income recognized was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended April 2, 2022 and March 31,September 30, 2021, respectively. The gift card liability is included in “Accrued liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We will continue to evaluate whether and how store closures may affect customer behavior with respect to sales returns and gift card redemption and related breakage.

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on January 4, 2021 was exchanged (the “Exchange”) for (1) 1 new share of the Company’s stock and (2) a share purchase right entitling the holder to purchase its pro rata portion of shares available to eligible holdersAs provided in a rights offering. In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, the Company commenced a $40.0 million rights offering in January 2021, under which eligible holdersCompany’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) increased the Company’s common stock could purchase up to $24.0 millionnumber of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, at a purchase price ofpar value $1.100.01 per share, and Larkspur SPV (the “Backstop Party”), a special purpose entity affiliate of Osmium jointly owned with Tensile Capital Management, could purchase up to $16200,000,000 million of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $shares. The Company had 1.10176,696,648 per share (the “Rights Offering”). Pursuant to a backstop commitment agreement, the Backstop Party agreed to purchase all unsubscribed shares in the Rights Offering.
The subscription period for the Rights Offering expired on February 1, 2021, with eligible holders subscribing to purchase approximately $19.8 million of the company’s common stock, with the Backstop Party purchasing the remaining $20.2 million of the company’s common stock. On February 9, 2021, the Company closed on the Rights Offering and recorded proceeds of $40.0 million and recognized a non-cash charge of approximately $14.5 million as a result of the change in fair value of the Company’s common stock issued to the Backstop Party as measured from the consummation of the Exchange through the close date (“Backstop Premium”). The change in fair value was determined by reference to the Company’s stock price, traded over-the-counter, discounted for the restrictions that limited the holders ability to resell securities until they were registered pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement entered into on February 9, 2021 between the Company and Backstop Party.
In addition, on February 9, 2021, the Company issued warrants with rights to purchase 10 million shares of common stock with an exercise priceoutstanding as of $1.65 and a five year term toOctober 1, 2022. See Note 3 for information regarding the Backstop Party (“Warrants”). The Company classified the Warrants as equity instruments and recognized expenseissuance of $2.5 million measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes model. Finally, on February 9, 2021 the Backstop Party received a backstop fee in the amount of $2.0 million (payable in shares ofadditional common stock valued at $1.10 per share) that was classified as an equity instrument. The non-cash charges of approximately $14.5 million for the Backstop Premium, the $2.5 million of expense related to the Warrants, and backstop fee of approximately $2.0 million are recorded in Reorganization items, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2021. In accordanceconnection with the terms of the Plan of Reorganization, all proceeds from the Rights Offering were used to make payments of the claims of general unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases.Private Placement.
Ownership Restrictions
In order to continue to assist the Company in preserving certain tax attributes (the “Tax Benefits”), the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of incorporation imposes certain restrictions on the transferability and ownership of the Company’s capital stock
15
(the (the “Ownership Restrictions”). Subject to certain exceptions, the Ownership Restrictions restrict (i) any transfer that would result in any person acquiring 4.5% or more of our Common Stock, (ii) any transfer that would result in an increase of the ownership percentage of any person already owning 4.5% or more of our Common Stock, or (iii) any transfer during the five-year period following December 31, 2020 that would result in a decrease of the ownership percentage of any person already owning 4.5% or more of our Common Stock. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, any transferee receiving shares of our Common Stock that would result in a violation of the Ownership Restrictions will not be recognized as a stockholder of the Company or entitled to any rights of stockholders. The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows the Ownership Restrictions to be waived by the Company’s board of directors on a case by case basis. The Board of Directors has taken action to waive the restrictions with respect to sale of shares acquired in the Rights Offering by the Backstop Party.
The Ownership Restrictions will remain in effect until the earliest of (i) the repeal of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor statute if the board of directors determines the Ownership Restrictions are no longer necessary for preservation of the Tax Benefits, (ii) the beginning of a taxable year in which the board of directors determines no Tax Benefits may be carried forward, or (iii) such other date as shall be established by the board of directors.
In order to allow completion of the Private Placement, the board of directors waived these restrictions with respect to the securities purchased in the Private Placement. On September 21, 2022, following the closing of the Private Placement, the SPV elected to immediately convert a portion of the Convertible Debt into 90 million shares of the Company’s common stock and acquired majority ownership of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the Company experienced an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (Section 382) as of September 22, 2022. Section 382 contains rules that limit the ability of a company that undergoes an ownership change to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), tax credits, and interest limitation carryforwards. The Company has significant NOLs, tax credits, and interest limitation carryforwards that are impacted by the ownership change. The Company has evaluated the financial statement impact of the ownership change under Section 382 in the current quarter, and has determined there is no material impact on the financials due to the valuation allowance the Company has set up previously on its deferred tax asset.

Share-Based Incentive Plans
For a discussion of our share-based incentive plans, please see Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
July 2, 2022.
Restricted Stock Awards/Units
The Tuesday Morning Corporation 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) and the Tuesday Morning Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan” and together with the 2008 Plan, the “Plans”) authorize the grant of restricted stock awards to directors, officers, key employees and certain other key individuals who perform services for us and our subsidiaries. Equity awards may no longer be granted under the 2008 Plan. Restricted stock awards are not transferable, but bear certain rights of common stock ownership including voting and dividend rights. Shares are valued at the fair market value of our common stock at the date of award. Shares and units may be subject to time-vesting and/or certain performance requirements. If the time-vesting and/or performance requirements are not met, the restricted shares are forfeited. The 2014 Plan also authorizes the grant of time-vesting and performance-based restricted stock units. Restricted stock units do not provide voting and dividend rights. Shares of common stock are issued upon the vesting of restricted units.
On September 15, 2021, Marc Katz was awarded 867,052In addition to the Plans, the Company has granted certain inducement awards of time-based and867,052 performance-based restricted stock units as an incentive to become Principal and Chief Operating Officer and Paul Metcalf was awarded 289,017 time-based and 578,035 performance-based restricted stock units to becomeFred Hand, Marc Katz and Paul Metcalf. See Note 7 to the Principalconsolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Chief Merchant (the “Inducement Awards”). In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the fiscal 2022 long-term incentive awards were approved by the Board of Directors and time-vesting and performance-based restricted stock units were granted under the 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Under the Plans and the Inducement Awards, as of April 2, 2022, there were 500,895 shares of restricted stock awards and 8,419,829 restricted stock units outstanding with award vesting periods, both performance-based and service-based, of one to five years and a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.70 and $2.29 per share, respectively.

Cash Settled Awards
16
We have granted stock-based awards to certain employees, which vest over a period of three to four years, and will be settled in cash (“cash settled awards”). Both performance-based and time-based awards were granted. Except for the performance based awards which have been deemed unlikely to vest, the fair value of the cash settled awards at each reporting period is based on the price of our common stock. The fair value of the cash settled awards will be re-measured at each reporting period until the awards are settled.

7. Commitments and contingencies
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Information related to the Chapter 11 Cases that were filed on May 27, 2020 is included in Notes 1 and 2 above.
Like many retailers, the Company has been named in a potential class or collective actions on behalf of groups alleging violations of federal and state wage and hour and other labor statutes, and other statutes. In the normal course of business, we are also party to representative claims under the California Private Attorneys’ General Act and various other lawsuits and regulatory proceedings including, among others, commercial, product, product safety, employee, customer, intellectual property and other claims. Actions against us are in various procedural stages. Many of these proceedings raise factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. In addition, we are involved in legal and governmental proceedings as part of the normal course of our business. Reserves have been established when a loss is considered probable and are based on management’s best estimates of our potential liability in these matters. These estimates have been developed in consultation with internal and external counsel and are based on a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. Management believes that such litigation and claims will be resolved without material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
8. LeasesLEASES
We conduct substantially all operations from leased facilities. Our retail store locations, our corporate office and our distribution center are under operating leases that will expire over the next 1 to 10 years. Many of our leases include options to renew at our discretion. We include the lease renewal option periods in the calculation of our operating lease assets and liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will renew the lease. We also lease certain equipment under finance leases that generally expire within 4three years years.
.
In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, on December 31, 2020, we sold our corporate office and Dallas distribution center properties and leased back those facilities. The lease of the corporate office is for a term of 10ten years, and the lease of the distribution center is for an initial term of two and one-half years, with an option to extend the distribution center lease for one additional year. We believe it is reasonably certain the option to extend will be exercised. We determined the sale price represented the fair value of the underlying assets sold and have no continuing involvement with the properties sold other than a normal leaseback. The consideration received for the sale, as reduced by the closing and transaction costs, was $68.5 million, and the net book value of the properties sold was $18.9 million, resulting in a $49.6 million gain, which was recognized as of December 31, 2020. Cash proceeds, net of property taxes, were deposited directly into the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund (See Note 2).
17
The 2two leases, associated with the transaction, were recorded as operating leases. As of April 2,October 1, 2022, we will pay approximately $7.87.4 million in fixed rents and in-substance fixed rents, over the remaining lease term for the corporate office and we will pay approximately $9.77.5 million in fixed rents and in-substance fixed rents for the Dallas distribution center property over the remaining lease term, including the one-year option period as noted above. Fixed rents and in-substance fixed rents for each lease were discounted using the incremental borrowing rate we established for the respective term of each lease.
In accordance with ASC 842, we determine whether an agreement contains a lease at inception based on our right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset. Lease liabilities represent the present value of future lease payments and the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use the underlying assets for the respective lease terms.
The operating lease liability is measured as the present value of the unpaid lease payments and the ROU asset is derived from the calculation of the operating lease liability. As our leases do not generally provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to calculate the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate that would be required to borrow over a similar term, on a collateralized basis in a similar economic environment.
Rent escalations occurring during the term of the leases are included in the calculation of the future minimum lease payments and the rent expense related to these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition to minimum lease payments, certain leases require payment of a proportionate share of real estate taxes and certain building operating expenses allocated on a percentage of sales in excess of a specified base. These variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset or lease liability due to unpredictability of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. The ROU asset is adjusted to account for previously recorded lease-related expenses such as deferred rent and other lease liabilities.
Our lease agreements do not contain residual value guarantees or significant restrictions or covenants other than those customary in such arrangements.
The components of lease cost are as follows (in thousands):

9. Earnings per common shareEARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company uses the two-class method of computing basic EPS due to the existence of non-vested restricted stock awards with non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (referred to as participating securities). Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each of the respective years. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each of the respective years using the more dilutive of either the treasury stock method or two-class method. The difference between basic and diluted shares, if any, largely results from common equivalent shares, which represents the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain outstanding share options and warrants, the assumed vesting of restricted stock granted to employees and directors, or the satisfaction of certain necessary conditions for contingently issuable shares. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the three months ended April 2,October 1, 2022 and March 31,September 30, 2021, 5.97.6 million and 2.31.8 million anti-dilutive shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings/(loss) per common share, respectively. For the nine months ended April 2, 2022 and March 31, 2021, 3.1 million and 2.6 million anti-dilutive shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings/(loss) per common share, respectively. On February 9, 2021, as part of the Rights Offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase 10 million shares of common stock with an exercise price of $1.65 and a five year term, all which remained outstanding and anti-dilutive as of April 2, 2022.

11. Income taxesINCOME TAXES
The Company or 1one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, state and local taxing jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 20162017 and are no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2013.
On March 27, 2020, in an effort to mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act includes certain corporate income tax provisions, which among other things, included a five-year carryback of net operating losses and acceleration of the corporate alternative minimum tax credit. The Company has evaluated the CARES Act and it is not expected to have a material impact on the income tax provision. The CARES Act also contains provisions for deferral of the employer portion of social security taxes incurred through the end of calendar 2020 and an employee retention credit, a refundable payroll credit for 50% of wages and health benefits paid to employees not providing services due to the pandemic. As a result of the CARES Act, we had deferred qualified payroll taxes through December 31, 2020. As of April 2,October 1, 2022, we have $2.1 million in current qualified deferred payroll taxes in “Accrued Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, which are due December 31, 2022.
The effective tax rate for the quarterthree months ended April 2,October 1, 2022 and March 31,September 30, 2021 were (0.4%) and (0.5%) respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended April 2, 2022 and March 31, 2021 was 0.0% and 3.20.3% respectively. A full valuation allowance is currently recorded against substantially all of the Company’s deferred tax assets. A deviation from the customary relationship between income tax expense and (benefit) and pretax income/(loss) results from the effects of the valuation allowance.

The Nasdaq Stock Market rules would normally require stockholder approval prior to closing the Private Placement; however, the Company requested and received a financial viability exception to the stockholder approval requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 5635(f). The financial viability exception allows an issuer to issue securities upon prior written application to Nasdaq when the delay in securing stockholder approval of such issuance would seriously jeopardize the financial viability of the Company. As required by Nasdaq rules, the Company’s Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent and disinterested directors, expressly approved reliance on the financial viability exception in connection with the Private Placement and related transactions. See Note 3 above for additional information regarding the terms of the Convertible Debt.
13. Subsequent EventsFAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Derivative Liability
New ABL FacilityAs described in Note 3, the Company issued Convertible Notes that contained a conversion feature that qualifies as an embedded derivative. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date, at the date of conversions to equity, and FILO Facilitiesas of each subsequent reporting period.
As of the inception date, the Company recorded a derivative liability associated with the conversion option of $22.4 million within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Upon the conversion of a portion of the Convertible Notes on September 22, 2022 (approximately $6.9 million in principal amount), the Company recorded a reduction of $2.5 million in debt, $3.9 million from our derivative liability, and loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.7 million, and a resulting impact of $13.5 million to stockholders’ equity to reflect the conversion from debt to common stock and amortization of debt issuance cost of $0.6 million.
For the three months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded a loss on derivative liability of $8.8 million within our condensed consolidated statements of operations, and resulting from the change in fair value on our derivative liability within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Level 3 valuation information: Due to the inherent uncertainty in the valuation process, the estimate of the fair value of our derivative liability as of October 1, 2022 may differ materially from values that would have been used had a readily available market financial instrument were evident.

The fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivatives on convertible notes was determined using the following significant unobservable inputs:
October 1, 2022 | |
Bifurcated embedded derivative on convertible notes: | |
Market yield | 17.1% |
Calibration discount rate | 70.0% |
Significant increases or decreases in the inputs noted above in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as a derivative instrument liabilities, we use the Binomial Lattice model through a Goldman Sachs implementation to estimate the fair value associated with the instrument. This model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instrument, risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and the expected volatility of our Common Stock price over the life of the derivative. The Company determined that as of the assessment date, October 1, 2022, the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivatives is $9.8 million. For the three months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on derivative liability of $8.8 million within our condensed consolidated statements of operations, and a resulting decrease to our derivative liability within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
If an embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument no longer meets the bifurcation criteria in this Subtopic, an issuer shall account for the previously bifurcated conversion option reclassifying the carrying amount of the liability for the conversion option (that is, its fair value on the date of reclassification) to shareholders’ equity. Any debt discount recognized when the conversion option was bifurcated from the convertible debt instrument shall continue to be amortized.
Due to their short maturity, the carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities approximated their fair values as of October 1, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
We encourage you to read this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" ("MD&A") in conjunction with the corresponding section included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2021.
July 2, 2022.
Background
We are one of the original off-price retailers and a leading destination for unique home and lifestyle goods, selling high-quality products at prices generally below those found in boutique, specialty and department stores, catalogs and on-line retailers. Our customers come to us for an ever-changing, exceptional assortment of brand names at great prices. Our strong value proposition has established a loyal customer base, who we engage regularly with social media, email and digital media.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on our business operations, store traffic, employee availability, financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity and cash flow. On March 25, 2020, we temporarily closed all of our 687 stores nationwide, severely reducing revenues, and resulting in significant operating losses and the elimination of substantially all operating cash flow. In May 2020, we filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

New stores are included in the same store sales calculation starting with the sixteenth month following the date of the store opening. A store that relocates within the same geographic market or modifies its available retail space is generally considered the same store for purposes of this computation. Stores that are closed are included in the computation of comparable store sales until the month of closure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define EBITDA as net earnings or net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to EBITDA to eliminate the impact of certain items, including certain non-cash items and other items that we believe are not representative of our core operating performance. These measures are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings or loss as a measure of operating performance. In addition, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presented as, and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by such adjustments. We believe it is useful for investors to see these EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures that management uses to evaluate our operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are included to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and because we use these measures to monitor and evaluate the performance of our business as a supplement to GAAP measures and we believe the presentation of these non-GAAP measures enhances investors’ ability to analyze trends in our business and evaluate our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. The non-GAAP measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

On December 31, 2020, as contemplated by our Plan of Reorganization, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. that provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of $110.0 million (the “Post-Emergence ABL Facility”). The Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement included conditions to borrowings, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default customary for financings of this type and size. The Post-Emergence ABL Credit Agreement required the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if borrowing availability fell below certain minimum levels, after the first anniversary of the agreement.

Term Loan Credit Agreement
On December 31, 2020, the Company, Alter Domus (US), LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders named therein including Tensile Capital Partners Master Fund LP and affiliates of Osmium Partners, LLC, entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) to provide a term loan of $25.0 million to the Company (the “Term Loan”).

Recent Liquidity Developments and Outlook
Subsequent to the July 2022 borrowing, the Company experienced a further deterioration in its financial condition and liquidity and began to withhold payments from vendors beginning in late August 2022 and until completion of the Private Placement on September 20, 2022. The proceeds of the Private Placement were used (i) to repay all of the outstanding principal amount of $5.0 million of the FILO A term loans under the New ABL Credit Agreement; (ii) to repay $2.5 million of the FILO B term loans under the New ABL Credit Agreement; (iii) to repay a portion of the revolving loans under the New ABL Credit Agreement; and (iv) to pay transaction costs. The proceeds of the Private Placement will also be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
At April 2,October 1, 2022 we are in compliance with covenants in the Post-EmergenceNew ABL Facility, the Term Loan and Term Loan.the Convertible Debt. As of April 2,October 1, 2022, we had $54.1$31.4 million of borrowings outstanding under our Post-EmergenceNew ABL Facility and, $14.6 million of letters of credit outstanding. We currently have borrowing availability of $26.6$25.3 million under our Post-EmergenceNew ABL Facility, as of April 2,October 1, 2022. Liquidity,

defined as cash and cash equivalents plus the $26.6$25.3 million availability for borrowing under our Post-EmergenceNew ABL Facility and less $5.6 million in credit cards receivables, was $35.0$26.6 million as of April 2,October 1, 2022.
Going forward, we expect to fund our operations with funds generated from operating activities, available cash and cash equivalents, and borrowings under the New ABL Facility.
On the Refinancing Closing Date, the Borrower borrowed approximately $75.2 million under the New ABL Facility, $5.0 million under the FILO A Facility and $5.0 million under the FILO B Facility (collectively, the “Closing Date Loans”). A portion of the aggregate proceeds from the Closing Date Loans was used to (i) repay all outstanding indebtedness (the “Existing ABL Loans”) under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2020, among the Company, the Borrower, each of the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Existing ABL Credit Agreement”), along with accrued interest, expenses and fees, (ii) purchase of a portion of the principal amount of the outstanding indebtedness (the “Term Loan”) under that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2020, by and among the Company, the Borrower, each of the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto (including Tensile Capital Partners Master Fund LP and affiliates of Osmium Partners, LLC) (collectively, the “Term Loan Lenders”), and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) for the aggregate purchase price of $5.0 million (the “Loan Repurchase”), and (iii) pay transaction costs related to the transactions described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and the execution and delivery of the New ABL Credit Agreement and related loan documents. The remainder of the proceeds from the Closing Date Loans, as well as the proceeds from future borrowings, will be used for working capital needs and other general corporate purposes.
We currently have $85.2 million of aggregate borrowings outstanding under the New Facilities and aggregate borrowing availability of $26.0 million under the New ABL Facility, in each case as of May 9, 2022. In addition, we have the right to request (i) an additional incremental loan under the FILO B Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million, which, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the FILO B lenders have committed to provide, and (ii) additional incremental commitments from the FILO B lenders to make additional loans in an aggregate amount not to exceed $5.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
We incurred capital expenditures of approximately $5.2$1.1 million, net of landlord contributions in the first ninethree months of fiscal 2022.2023. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be $6.7about $5.0 million total for fiscal year 2022.2023. The amounts include the expected costs to open three new stores, reopen a Hurricane-damaged store, costs to enhance our existing store fleet, investment in technology as well as our Dallas distribution center.
We do not presently have any plans to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock. Under the terms of the our New ABL Credit Agreement and the Term Loan, we are subject to restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or repurchase shares of our common stock, including a $2.0 million limit on such payments imposed by the Term Loan Credit Agreement, and must maintain certain minimum levels of borrowing availability.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of April 2,October 1, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a recurring basis, we evaluate our significant estimates which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates.
Other than as described in Note 1 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements herein, as of April 2,October 1, 2022 and the derivative liability discussed below, there were no changes to our critical accounting policies from those listed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.
July 2, 2022.
Under the retail inventory method, permanent markdowns result in cost reductions in inventory at the time the markdowns are taken. We also utilize promotional markdowns for specific marketing efforts used to drive higher sales volume and customer transactions for a specified period of time. Promotional markdowns do not impact the value of unsold inventory and thus do not impact cost of sales until the merchandise is sold. Markdowns and damages during the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20222023 were 4.4%5.0% of sales compared to 4.0% of sales for the same period last year. Markdowns and damages during the first nine months of fiscal 2022 were 3.3% of sales compared to 3.9%3.5% of sales for the same period last year. If our sales forecasts are not achieved, we may be required to record additional markdowns that could exceed historical levels. The effect of a 0.5% markdown in the value of our inventory at April 2,October 1, 2022 would result in a decline in gross margin and diluted earnings per share for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20222023 of $0.9$0.7 million and $0.01, respectively.
Derivative Liability
On September 20, 2022, the Company issued the Convertible Debt, which contains a conversion feature. When we issue debt with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, as follows: a) one or more underlyings, typically the price of our common stock; b) one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provisions, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. An embedded equity-linked component that meets the definition of a derivative does not have to be separated from the host instrument if the component qualifies for the scope exception for certain contracts involving an issuer’s own equity. The scope exception applies if the contract is both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in shareholders’ equity in its statement of financial position.
We determined that, as of the date of issuance of the Convertible Notes, the conversion feature in the Convertible Notes met the requirements to be treated as a derivative and must be separated from the host instrument. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date, at the date of conversions to equity, and as of each subsequent reporting period. As of the inception date, the Company recorded a derivative liability associated with the conversion option of $22.4 million within our condensed consolidated balance sheets. This amount was reduced by $2.8 million upon re-valuation of the derivative liability on the day of conversion, prior to recording of the conversion. Upon the conversion of a portion of the Convertible Notes on September 22, 2022, (approximately $6.9 million in principal amount), the Company recorded a reduction of $2.5 million in debt, $3.9 million from our derivative liability, and loss on extinguishment of debt of $7.7 million, and a resulting impact of $13.5 million to stockholders’ equity to reflect the conversion from debt to common stock and amortization of debt issuance cost of $0.6 million.
Our derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as a derivative instrument liabilities, we use the Binomial Lattice model through a Goldman Sachs implementation to estimate the fair value associated with the instrument. This model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instrument, risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and the expected volatility of our Common Stock price over the life of the
32
derivative. The Company determined that as of the assessment date, October 1, 2022, the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivatives is $9.8 million. For the three months ended October 1, 2022, the Company recorded a gain on derivative liability of $8.8 million within our condensed consolidated statements of operations, and a resulting decrease to our derivative liability within our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of the end of each reporting period, we will be required to reassess whether the embedded conversion option in the Convertible Debt continues to meet the bifurcation criteria. If we determine the embedded conversion option in the Convertible Notes no longer meets the bifurcation criteria, we will be required to account for the previously bifurcated conversion option reclassifying the carrying amount of the liability for the conversion option (that is, its fair value on the date of reclassification) to shareholders’ equity. Any debt discount recognized when the conversion option was bifurcated from the Convertible Debt instrument shall continue to be amortized.
For a further discussion of the judgments we make in applying our accounting policies, see Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

If we are not ablefail to generate cash flows frommaintain an effective system of internal controls over financial reporting there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our operations, remain in compliance with our debt agreements, and continue to access credit markets, weannual or interim financial statements will not be able to support capital expenditure requirements,prevented or detected on a timely basis, which could result in a loss of investor confidence and negatively impact our business, results of operations, or debt repayment.financial condition and stock price.
Our business is dependent upon our operations generating sufficient cash flows to support capital expenditure requirements and general operating activities. We also have relied on a revolving credit facility to support our liquidity needs. On May 9, 2022, we entered into the New ABL Credit Agreement, which increased our borrowing capacity with the addition of two first-in-last out term facilities in an aggregate amount of $10.0 million. The New ABL Credit Agreement includes customary conditions to borrowing, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, and requiresEffective internal controls are necessary for us to maintain minimum borrowing availability under the New ABL Credit Agreement. In addition,provide reliable and accurate financial statements and to effectively prevent fraud. As further described in connection with the New ABL Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Credit Agreement was amended to require satisfactionPart I Item 4 “Controls and Procedures” of this report, management has concluded that, because of a total secured net leverage ratio beginningmaterial weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to individual control deficiencies related to existing controls failing to operate effectively. Specifically, the Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with appropriate accounting knowledge, experience and training to oversee the 12-monthapplication of certain manual process controls or to maintain adequate segregation of duties. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the Company has hired and trained qualified resources, its internal controls subsequently operate effectively for a sufficient period ending September 30, 2023. Our failure to satisfy any oftime and management has concluded, through testing, that its internal controls are operating effectively. We cannot be certain that these requirements may result in an event of default under the New ABL Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
While we believe the New ABL Credit Agreement will provide us with sufficient liquidity for the next 12 months, our ability to meet our capital expenditure, operating and debt service requirementsmeasures will be dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows, maintain compliance with the requirements of our debt agreements and continue to access the credit markets as necessary. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows and maintain compliance with the requirements of the New ABL Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, we can provide no assurancesuccessful or that we will be able to secure additionalprevent future significant deficiencies or alternative financing sufficientmaterial weaknesses. Any remediation efforts additionally may require us to meetincur unanticipated costs for various professional fees and services.
