Purple Innovation, Inc. collectively with its subsidiary (the “Company” or “Purple Inc.”) is a digitally-native vertical brand founded on comfort product innovation with premium offerings. The Company designs and manufactures a variety of innovative, branded and premium comfort products, including mattresses, pillows, cushions, bases, sheets, and other products. The Company markets and sells its products through its direct-to-consumer (“DTC”) online channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, Company showrooms, and third-party online ~~retailers and its Company factory outlet and showrooms.~~retailers.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2015 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name of Global Partnership Acquisition Corp (“GPAC”) ~~for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses.~~. On February 2, 2018, the Company consummated a transaction structured similar to a reverse recapitalization (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a portion of the equity of Purple Innovation, LLC (“Purple LLC”). At the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company became the sole managing member of Purple LLC, and GPAC was renamed Purple Innovation, Inc.
As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc. through its officers and directors is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other ~~member, unless specified in the amended operating agreement.~~member.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The Company consists of Purple Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Purple LLC. ~~Pursuant to the Business Combination described in Note 3—~~~~Business Combination~~~~, Purple Inc. acquired approximately 18% of the common units of Purple LLC, while InnoHold, LLC (“InnoHold”) retained approximately 82% of the common units in Purple LLC.~~ As of June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, Purple Inc. held approximately ~~68%~~99% of the common units of Purple LLC and ~~InnoHold and other~~ Purple LLC Class B Unit holders held approximately ~~32%~~1% of the common units in Purple LLC.
The Business Combination was structured similar to a reverse recapitalization. The historical operations of Purple LLC are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect (i) the historical operating results of Purple LLC prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company following the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Purple LLC at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity and earnings per share for all periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting and reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in ~~the~~ financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2020 audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10-K/A filed ~~March 9, 2020.~~May 10, 2021. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (all of which were considered of normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial results. The results of the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, ~~2020~~2021 or for any other interim period or other future year.

The scope and nature of these impacts continue to evolve. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken a number of precautionary measures to manage our resources and mitigate the adverse impact of the pandemic, which is intended to help minimize the risk to our Company employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate. Employees at the Company’s headquarters and certain other employees have been asked to work from home where possible, with only limited access given to employees to work in the office when necessary. For roles that require employeesceased to be ~~on-site, such as our manufacturing facility~~an emerging growth company (“EGC”) and ~~distribution center, we are providing protective equipment, practicing social distancing and increasing sanitizing standards.~~

We continue~~date, Purple Inc. had elected to serve our customers through our Direct to Consumer (“DTC”) channel, which has remained strong throughout the quarter as consumer demand for our premium, differentiated product offerings shifted to our DTC channel. We continue to focus our efforts in our DTC core competencies resulting in a continued acceleration in DTC channel sales across all of our product categories throughout the quarter. This increase in demand was a contributing factor to DTC net revenue growth of 128% over the prior year second quarter. There can be no assurance that this trend of increased demand through our DTC channel will continue. We initially experienced a sharp decline in the wholesale side of our business as temporary shutdowns of non-essential businesses and shelter-at-home directives occurred in most U.S. states. As the shutdowns were lifted and stores began to open again, demand through the wholesale channel increased. In addition, we were able to re-open our three Company showrooms in California in June 2020, one of which subsequently closed again in July 2020 in compliance with local orders.
This increase in DTC and Wholesale demand allowed us to work through a portion of our on-hand inventory and required us to ramp up production. We continue to take advantage of our vertically integrated business model to adjust production schedules to leverage inventory on hand and tightly manage labor costs. We also continue to dynamically adjust our significant discretionary online advertising spend in response to any changes in DTC trends as they develop.
Our supply chain has not been significantly affected by COVID-19. Currently, our domestic suppliers are able to continue operations and provide necessary materials when needed. Suppliers in China were temporarily closed as a result of the pandemic but we had sufficient inventory on hand. Many of our suppliers have resumed production and are able to supply materials as needed.
Although the Company has taken measures to protect the business, we cannot predict the specific duration for which these precautionary measures will stay in effect, and we may elect or need to take additional measures as the informationuse extended transition periods available to ~~us continues to develop, including~~private companies for complying with respect to our employees, manufacturing facility and distribution center, and relationships with our suppliers and customers. Subject to certain assumptions regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and government, consumer, and our responses thereto, based on our current projections we believe our cash on hand, ongoing cash generated from e-commerce and continuing resumption and ramp up of store operations and our wholesale business, will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months. However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and our precautionary measures in response thereto may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be precisely predicted at this time.new or revised accounting standards.

Leases
~~Revenue Recognition~~
In ~~May 2014, in addition to several amendments issued during~~February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ~~No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Topic 606 outlines a single comprehensive model~~2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), which required an entity to recognize lease liabilities and assets on the balance sheet and to disclose key information about an entity’s leasing arrangements. Because the Company ceased to be an EGC on December 31, 2020, the standard became effective for ~~entities to use in accounting~~the Company for ~~revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The Company adopted this ASU effective~~its annual reporting period beginning January 1, ~~2019 on a~~2020, and interim reporting periods within the annual period beginning January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASC 842 and all related amendments using the modified retrospective ~~basis. Adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to~~transition approach effective for the Company’s ~~accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or~~annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2020 resulted in the initial recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets of $27.9 million and operating lease liabilities of $33.0 million in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s ~~financial position,~~consolidated results of operations or cash ~~flows. As such,~~flows and had no impact on retained earnings. At January 1, 2020, the effective date of adoption, the Company’s finance ROU assets and lease liabilities were not material.
The Company determines if an agreement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. For leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, a related lease liability is recorded on the balance sheet at the present value of future payments discounted at the estimated fully collateralized incremental borrowing rate (discount rate) corresponding with the lease term. In addition, a ROU asset is recorded as the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any lease payments made to the lessor before or at the lease commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred, less any tenant improvement allowance incentives received.
The Company calculates the present value of future payments using its incremental borrowing rate when the discount rate implicit in the lease is not known. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company determines the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date based on the rates of its secured borrowings, which is then adjusted for the appropriate lease term and risk premium. In determining the Company’s ROU assets and operating lease liabilities, the Company ~~did not record a cumulative adjustment~~applies these incremental borrowing rates to the ~~opening equity balance of accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2019. However, additional disclosures have been added in accordance with the requirements of Topic 606 and are reflected in Note 4 –~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers.~~minimum lease payments within each lease agreement.

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Tenant incentive allowances received from the lessor are amortized through the ROU asset as a reduction of rent expense over the lease term. Any variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases) are not recorded as ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities. Short-term lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ROU assets are assessed for impairment as part of the impairment of long-lived assets, which is performed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.
Revenue Recognition
The Company markets and sells its products through direct-to-consumer online channels, traditional wholesale partners, third-party online retailers, ~~the Company factory outlet store~~ and Company showrooms. Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligations under the contract which is transferring the promised products to the customer. This principle is achieved in the following steps:
Identify the contract with the customer. A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) the Company determines that collection of substantially all consideration for the goods that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration. The Company does not have significant costs to obtain contracts with customers.
Identify the performance obligations in the contract. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include multiple performance obligations to be completed over a period of time. The performance obligations generally relate to delivering products to a customer, subject to the shipping terms of the contract. The Company has made an accounting policy election to account for shipping and handling activities performed after a customer obtains control of the goods, including “white glove” delivery services, as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the ~~good.~~goods. The Company does not offer extended warranty or service plans. The Company does not provide an option to its customers to purchase future products at a discount and therefore there are no material option rights.
Determine the transaction price. Payment for sale of products through the direct-to-consumer online channels and third-party online retailers is collected at point of sale in advance of shipping the products. Amounts received for unshipped products are recorded as customer prepayments. Payment by traditional wholesale customers is due under customary fixed payment terms. None of the Company’s contracts contain a significant financing component. Revenue is recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration such as product returns, volume rebates, and other adjustments. The estimates of variable consideration are based on historical return experience, historical and projected sales data, and current contract terms. Variable consideration is included in revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Taxes collected from customers relating to product sales and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.
Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include multiple performance obligations. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of the product to the customer’s control at contractually stated pricing.
Recognize revenue when or as we satisfy a performance obligation. The Company satisfies performance obligations at a point in time upon either shipment or delivery of goods, in accordance with the terms of each contract with the customer. With the exception of third-party “white glove” delivery and certain wholesale partners, revenue generated from product sales is recognized at shipping point, the point in time the customer obtains control of the products. Revenue generated from sales through third-party “white glove” delivery is recognized at the point in time when the product is delivered to the customer. Revenue generated from certain wholesale partners is recognized at a point in time when the product is delivered to the wholesale partner’s warehouse. The Company does not have service revenue.

Debt Issuance Costs and Discounts
Debt issuance costs and discounts that relate to borrowings are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a direct ~~deduction~~reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability and are amortized into interest expense using an effective interest rate over the duration of the debt. Debt issuance costs that relate to revolving lines of credit are carried as an asset in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the related line of credit facility.

The Company ~~uses~~used the Monte Carlo Simulation of a Geometric Brownian Motion stock path model to determine the fair value of the liability. The model uses key assumptions and inputs such as exercise price, fair market value of common stock, risk free interest rate, warrant life, expected volatility and the probability of ~~the~~a warrant re-price. ~~Refer~~All of the Incremental Loan warrants were exercised during fiscal 2020.
The Company accounted for its public warrants in accordance with ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which these warrants did not meet the criteria for equity classification and were recorded as liabilities. Since the public warrants met the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, these warrants were measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company determined the fair value of the public warrants based on their public trading price. All of the public warrants were exercised during fiscal 2020.
The Company accounts for its sponsor warrants in accordance with ASC 815, under which these warrants do not meet the criteria for equity classification and must be recorded as liabilities. Since the sponsor warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815, these warrants are measured at fair value at inception and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820 with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in the period of change. The Company uses the Black Scholes model to ~~Note 9 –~~ ~~Warrant Liabilities~~.determine the fair value of the liability associated with the sponsor warrants. The model uses key assumptions and inputs such as exercise price, fair market value of common stock, risk free interest rate, warrant life and expected volatility. At June 30, 2021, there were 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses the fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, essentially an exit price, based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2—Significant other observable inputs (e.g. quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, such as interest rate and yield curves, and market-corroborated inputs); and
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting unit to develop its own assumptions.

The classification of fair value measurements within the established three-level hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurements. Financial instruments, although not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and the Company’s debt obligations. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these accounts. The fair value of the Company’s debt ~~instrument~~instruments is estimated to be ~~its~~ face value based on the contractual terms of the debt ~~instrument~~arrangements and market-based expectations.
The public warrant ~~liability is a~~liabilities are Level 1 instruments as they have quoted market prices in an active market. The sponsor and incremental loan warrant liabilities are Level 3 ~~instrument~~instruments and ~~uses an~~use internal ~~model~~models to estimate fair value using certain significant unobservable inputs which requires determination of relevant inputs and assumptions. Accordingly, changes in these unobservable inputs may have a significant impact on fair value. Such inputs include risk free interest rate, expected average life, expected dividend yield, and expected volatility. These Level 3 liabilities ~~would~~generally decrease (increase) in value based upon an increase (decrease) in risk free interest rate and expected dividend yield. Conversely, the fair value of these Level 3 liabilities ~~would~~ generally increase (decrease) in value if the expected average life or expected volatility were to increase (decrease).
The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

Income Taxes
In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC Topic 740, an estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to year-to-date ordinary income. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This differs from the method utilized at the end of an annual period.

PURPLE INNOVATION, INC.

(unaudited)
For annual periods, the Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated by applying existing tax laws and the rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the year of the enacted rate change. Our effective tax rate is primarily impacted by the allocation of income taxes to the noncontrolling interest and ~~changes~~the non-taxable nature of the change in ~~our valuation allowance.~~fair value of the warrant liability.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a recognition and measurement threshold for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on technical merits of the position. The amount of the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of the benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The effective tax rate and the tax basis of assets and liabilities reflect management’s estimates of the ultimate outcome of various tax uncertainties.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The two-class method of computing net income (loss) per share is required for entities that have participating securities. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines net income (loss) per share for participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The Company’s Class B Stock has no economic interest in the earnings of the Company, resulting in the two-class method not being applicable as of June 30, 2020 or in prior periods. Basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net ~~loss~~income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Stock”), outstanding each period. Diluted net income (loss) per share adds to those shares the incremental shares that would have been outstanding and potentially dilutive assuming exchanges of the Company’s outstanding warrants, stock options and shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Stock”), for Class A Stock, and the vesting of unvested and restricted Class A Stock. An anti-dilutive impact isrepresents an increase in net income per share or a reduction in net loss per share resulting from the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of certain securities.

Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ~~(ASU No. 2019-12)~~(“ASU 2019-12”). The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ~~The new guidance~~ASU 2019-12 also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill.

~~New~~ Internal-Use Software ~~Guidance~~
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350) (“ASU 2018-15”). The objective of ASU 2018-15 is to align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with those incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively. WeBecause the Company lost its EGC status on December 31, 2020, the standard became effective for the Company for its annual period beginning January 1, 2020, and interim periods within the annual period beginning January 1, 2021. The Company elected to apply the amendments on a prospective basis. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Measurement of Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which was further updated and clarified by the FASB through issuance of additional related ASUs. This guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment guidance and establishes a single allowance framework for financial assets carried at amortized cost based on expected credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses requires the incorporation of historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. These updates are effective for public companies, excluding Smaller Reporting Companies (“SRC”), for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. The standard is effective for all other entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods therein. Since the Company was considered an SRC on the deferral date of this standard, the guidance is effective for the Company’s interim and annual financial periods beginning January 1, 2023. ASU 2016-13 is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, and any other financial assets measured at amortized cost and do not expect ~~the~~that adoption ~~of this standard to~~will have a material impact on its consolidated financial ~~statements.~~

Term Loan and Revolving Line of Credit
On September 3, 2020, Purple LLC entered into a financing arrangement with KeyBank National Association and a group of financial institutions (the “2020 Credit Agreement”). The 2020 Credit Agreement provides for a $45.0 million term loan and a $55.0 million revolving line of credit.
The borrowing rates for the term loan are based on Purple LLC’s leverage ratio, as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement, and can range from LIBOR plus a 3.00% to 3.75% margin with a LIBOR minimum of 0.50%. The initial borrowing rate of 3.50% is based on LIBOR plus 3.00%. The term loan will be repaid in accordance with a five-year amortization schedule and may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of certain costs. There may be mandatory prepayment obligations based on excess cash flow.
Pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement between Purple LLC, KeyBank and the Company (the “Security Agreement”), the 2020 Credit Agreement is secured by a perfected first-priority security interest in the assets of Purple LLC and the Company, including a security interest in all intellectual property. Also, the Company agreed to an unconditional guaranty of the payment of all obligations and liabilities of Purple LLC under the 2020 Credit Agreement. The Security Agreement contains a pledge, as security for the Company’s guaranty, of all its ownership interest in Purple LLC. The 2020 Credit Agreement also provides for standard events of default, such as for non-payment and failure to perform or observe covenants, and contains standard indemnifications benefitting the lenders.
The 2020 Credit Agreement includes representations, warranties and certain covenants of Purple LLC and the Company. While any amounts are outstanding under the 2020 Credit Agreement, Purple LLC is subject to several affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants regarding dispositions of property, investments, forming or acquiring subsidiaries, business combinations or acquisitions, incurrence of additional indebtedness, and transactions with affiliates, among other customary covenants, subject to certain exceptions. In particular, Purple LLC is (i) subject to annual capital expenditure limits that can be adjusted based on the Company achieving certain net leverage ratio thresholds as provided in the 2020 Credit Agreement, (ii) restricted from incurring additional debt up to certain amounts, subject to limited exceptions, as set forth in the 2020 Credit Agreement, and (iii) maintain minimum consolidated net leverage and fixed charge coverage ratio thresholds at certain measurement dates (as defined in the 2020 Credit Agreement). Purple LLC is also restricted from paying dividends or making other distributions or payments on its capital stock, subject to limited exceptions. If the Company or Purple LLC fail to perform their obligations under these and other covenants, or should any event of default occur, the revolving loan commitments under the 2020 Credit Agreement may be terminated and any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest, could be declared immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants related to the 2020 Credit Agreement.
The $55.0 million revolving credit facility established under the 2020 Credit Agreement has a term of five years and carries the same interest provisions as the term debt. A commitment fee is due quarterly based on the applicable margin applied to the unused total revolving commitment. The agreement for this revolving credit facility contains customary covenants and events of default. As of June 30, 2021, there was no balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility.

The Company incurred $2.5 million in debt issuance costs for the 2020 Credit Agreement. These costs relate to the entire credit arrangement and therefore were allocated between the term loan and the revolving line of credit. The Company determined $1.1 million of the debt issuance costs related to the term debt and are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. This amount is being amortized into interest expense using an effective interest rate over the duration of the debt. The remaining $1.4 million of debt issuance costs were allocated to the revolving line of credit facility. This amount is classified as other assets and is being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the revolving credit facility.
Interest expense under the 2020 Credit Agreement totaled $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Related Party Loan
On March 27, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to Purple LLC’s Credit Agreement dated February 3, 2018 and all subsequent amendments and agreements (collectively referred to as the “Related Party Loan”) that provided for the deferral of the full amount of the interest payment due on March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 to reduce cash disbursements during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company accounted for this amendment as a modification of existing debt in accordance with ASC 470 - Debt. Interest expense on the Related Party Loan was $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, all of which was paid-in-kind through additions to the principal amount.
On September 3, 2020, the Company paid $45.0 million to retire, in full, all indebtedness related to the Related Party Loan. The payment included $25.0 million for the original loan under the agreement, $10.0 million for a subsequent incremental loan, $6.6 million for paid-in-kind interest, $2.5 million for a prepayment fee and $0.9 million for accrued interest. As a result of paying off the Related Party Loan during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recognized a $5.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt.
9. Warrant Liabilities
On February 2, 2018, Purple LLC entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. (“CCP”), Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A (“Blackwell”) and Coliseum Co-invest Debt Fund, L.P. (“CDF” and together with CCP and Blackwell, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to make a loan in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million. The Credit Agreement was closed and funded in connection with the Closing on February 2, 2018. In conjunction with the Credit Agreement, Global Partner Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”) agreed to assign to the Lenders an aggregate of 2.5 million warrants to purchase 1.3 million shares of its Class A Stock. The Credit Agreement was amended and restated on January 28,26, 2019, ~~as discussed below.~~
~~Amended and Restated Credit Agreement~~
On January 28, 2019, Purple LLC entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with the Lenders. In the First Amendment, Purple LLC agreed to enter into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, under which two of the ~~Lenders (“Incremental~~lenders who originally financed the Related Party loan (the “Incremental Lenders”) ~~agreed to provide an incremental loan of~~funded a $10.0 million ~~such that~~increase in the total amount of principal indebtedness provided to Purple LLC is increased to $35.0 million. A stockholder meeting was held on February 25, 2019 at which time a majority of non-interested stockholders voted in favor of this transaction. The Amendedloan and Restated Credit Agreement, and each of the related documents, was accordingly closed, and the incremental $10.0 million loan was funded on February 26, 2019, and the Company issued to the Incremental Lendersreceived 2.6 million warrants (“Incremental Loan Warrants”) to purchase 2.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. Among other things, the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement extends the maturity date for all loans under the Credit Agreement to five years from closing of the incremental loan, lowers the amount allowed for an asset-based loan to $10.0 million, revises certain restrictive covenants to make them more applicable to the Company’s current business, provides the ability for the Company to request additional loans from the Lenders not to exceed $10 million and other closing conditions, representations, warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of this type. All indebtedness under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bears interest at 12.0% per annum and is payable on the last business day of each fiscal quarter, provided that Purple LLC will be required to pay up to an additional 4.0% of interest per annum if it fails to meet certain EBITDA thresholds and an additional 2.0% of interest per annum if the Company is not in material compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In addition, Purple LLC may elect for interest in excess of 5.0% per annum to be capitalized and added to the principal amount. Any principal pre-payments in the first year are subject to a make-whole payment, while principal pre-payments in years two through four are subject to certain pre-payment penalties. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provided for certain remedies to the Lenders in the event of customary events of default and provides for standard indemnification of the Lenders. Purple LLC continues to be restricted from making annual capital expenditures in excess of $20.0 million and incurring capital lease obligations in excess of $10.0 million at any time outstanding, subject to limited exceptions. As of June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
In conjunction with the incremental loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company paid fees and debt issuance costs in the amount of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Additionally, the $4.9 million fair value of the 2.6 million warrants at the time of issuance was included as a component of the loss on extinguishment of debt.
On March 27, 2020 the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Lenders. The purpose of this Amendment is to allow the Company to defer the remaining 5% of interest for the quarterly payments due March 31 and June 30, 2020 in an effort to reduce its cash disbursements during the COVID-19 impact. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company was allowed to defer and capitalize the full amount of the interest payments due on March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. The Company accounted for the amendment as a modification of existing debt in accordance with ASC 470 - ~~Debt~~.

Interest expense related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $2.4 million and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The interest expense incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 in the amount of $1.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, was paid-in-kind through additions to the principal amount. Of the interest expense incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $0.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, was paid-in-kind through additions to the principal amount and $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, was paid in cash.
~~Loss on Extinguishment of Debt~~
~~In 2019, the Company accounted for the debt restructuring under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in accordance with ASC 470 -~~ ~~Debt~~. The Company determined that there are separate lenders for purposes of determining if there was an extinguishment or modification. The amended debt terms with CDF were not determined to be substantial and therefore the existing debt attributable to CDF was accounted for as a modification of debt. The amended debt terms with the Incremental Lenders were determined to be substantially different terms from their existing debt and therefore required to be accounted for as an extinguishment of their existing debt. Accordingly, the Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of their existing debt of approximately $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This is a non-cash expense primarily associated with the recognition of related unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs and the fair value of the incremental warrants issued.
~~9. Warrant Liabilities~~
The Incremental Loan Warrants issued in conjunction with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contain a warrant repurchase provision which, upon an occurrence of a fundamental transaction, as defined in the warrant agreement, could give rise to an obligation of the Company to pay cash to the warrant holders. In addition, upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (1) a fundamental transaction; (2) acquisition of 25% or more of the total voting power of all the securities of the entity by any one person or group of affiliated persons or entities; (3) Tony Pearce or Terry Pearce individually or together ceasing to beneficially own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company; or (4) the Board of Directors ceasing to be comprised of a majority of independent directors as defined under NASDAQ rules, the exercise price of the warrant will be reduced by a value based upon a formula model established in the agreement. The formula model is a Black Scholes valuation model which would use the following inputs: (1) share price would be the greater of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock for the prior 30 days before the applicable event date or the VWAP of the trading day immediately preceding the event date; (2) exercise price of $5.74, unless previously adjusted under other terms of the warrant; (3) volatility would be the greater of 100% and the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock for the ninety days preceding the date of the triggering event; and (4) the assumed risk-free interest rate shall correspond to the US Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this warrant. In May 2020, Tony Pearce or Terry Pearce individually or together ceased to beneficially own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company. As a result, the exercise price of the warrants ~~were~~was reduced to ~~$0,~~zero based on the formula established in the agreement.
The Company ~~has determined that the fundamental transaction provisions require the warrants to be~~ accounted for the Incremental Loan Warrants as ~~a liability~~liabilities in accordance with ASC 480 - Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and recorded them at fair value on the date of the transaction ~~under guidance prescribed in ASC 480~~ ~~- Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity~~~~. The liability for the warrants is~~and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. On November 9, 2020, the Company issued 2.6 million shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the exercise of all of the warrants held by the Incremental Lenders.

On February 2, 2018, in connection with the ~~Closing,~~closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into an exchange agreement with Purple LLC and InnoHold and Class B Unit holders who become a party thereto (the “Exchange Agreement”), which provides for the exchange of Purple LLC Class B Units (the “Class B Units”) and shares of Class B Stock (together with an equal number of Class B Units, the “Paired Securities”) for, at the Company’s option, either (A) shares of Class A Stock at an initial exchange ratio equal to one Paired Security for one share of Class A Stock or (B) a cash payment equal to the product of the average of the volume-weighted closing price of one share of Class A Stock for the ten trading days immediately prior to the date InnoHold or other Class B Unit holders deliver a notice of exchange multiplied by the number of Paired Securities being exchanged. In December 2018, InnoHold distributed Paired Securities to Terry Pearce and Tony Pearce who also agreed to become parties to the Exchange Agreement.

The exchange ratio will also adjust in certain circumstances when the Company acquires Class B Units other than through an exchange for its shares of Class A Stock.
The right of a holder of Paired Securities to exchange may be limited by the Company if it reasonably determines in good faith that such restrictions are required by applicable law (including securities laws), such exchange would not be permitted under other agreements of such holder with the Company or its subsidiaries, including the ~~Operating~~Third Purple LLC Agreement, or if such exchange would cause Purple LLC to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” under applicable tax laws.

Non-Income Related Taxes
The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., No.17-494, reversed a longstanding precedent that remote sellers are not required to collect state and local sales taxes.

Legal Proceedings
On January 9, 2018, Chris Knudsen, a former consultant to the company, filed a complaint against Purple LLC in the Fourth Judicial District Court of the State of Utah. Mr. Knudsen alleged that before his consulting contract ended in March 2016, he and Purple LLC reached an oral agreement under which Mr. Knudsen would become the company’s chief executive officer on April 1, 2016, and under which Mr. Knudsen would immediately receive a 4% equity interest in Purple LLC. Mr. Knudsen also alleged that Purple LLC’s failure to convey to him a 4% equity interest in the company constitutes a breach of that oral agreement, and Mr. Knudsen claimed damages of $10.75 million, based on his calculation of the value of a 4% interest in Purple LLC. The Company maintains insurance to defend against claims of this nature. In October 2019, Purple LLC moved for summary judgment on Mr. Knudsen’s claims. In June 2020, the court granted that motion and entered judgment on behalf of Purple LLC, fully disposing of all claims in the lawsuit. No appeal was filed by Mr. Knudsen and the time period for filing an appeal has expired.
On September 9, 2019, Purple LLC filed a Statement of Claim against PerfectSense Home Inc. and PerfectSense Trading Co. Ltd. (collectively, “PerfectSense”) in the Federal Court of Canada. PerfectSense is a manufacturer and supplier of mattresses and related products. PerfectSense owns the domain name www.purplesleep.ca, which used to, but no longer, redirects to its website at www.perfectsense.ca. In addition to this, Purple LLC has alleged that PerfectSense has: designed their mattresses with the same look as the Purple mattresses (white mattress top, purple stripe, and grey bottom); used many of the marketing elements on Purple’s website (including a similar “exploded view” image of their mattress); and adopted the color purple as their dominant marketing color. Purple LLC is suing for a declaration that PerfectSense has infringed Purple LLC’s copyright and trademark rights and committed the tort of passing off. Purple LLC is asking for injunctive relief, damages, an accounting of profits, interest, costs, and delivery up or destruction of the infringing products (including delivery up of the www.purplesleep.ca domain). After filing the statement of claim, Purple LLC posted $15,000 CAD as security for PerfectSense’s costs. PerfectSense ~~recently~~ brought a motion to strike that was resolved on consent. Pleadings are now closed, and the action is proceeding under case management. Counsel for the defendant was removed from the record at their own request by Court Order. The Court further ordered the defendant to either appoint counsel or file a motion to permit an officer or director to represent the defendant in legal proceedings. On November 6, 2020, the defendant informally requested that the Court permit Mr. Henderson, the CEO and shareholder of the defendant, to represent the defendant in the action until such time as a lawyer could be appointed. Purple opposed this informal request, and it was denied by the Court. After granting PerfectSense a final extension of time to either appoint counsel or file a motion to permit Mr. Henderson to represent the defendant, PerfectSense appointed new counsel. The parties are engaged in litigation discovery and recently exchanged affidavits of documents. In June of 2021 the parties were scheduled to attend examinations for discovery. These discoveries were adjourned to allow the parties to negotiate formal terms of settlement.
On ~~April 2,~~September 20, 2020, ~~Mary Harper, an individual purporting to reside in Montana,~~Purple LLC filed a ~~class action~~ complaint in the U.S. Court of International Trade seeking to recover approximately $7.0 million of Section 301 duties paid at the time of importation on certain Chinese-origin goods.

If successful, this litigation could result in a refund of some or all of the Section 301 duties.

Subsequently, the two cases were consolidated into one. Case II (now combined with Case I) involves many of the same facts and transactions as Case I. On January 19, 2021, ReST filed a motion to ~~her cellular telephone~~compel arbitration of the claims in Case I. Purple LLC opposed the motion to compel arbitration, arguing that ReST waived any rights they may have had to arbitration and that all the claims in both cases should stay in the courts. Briefing is complete on ReST’s motion to compel arbitration, and the ~~cellular telephones~~Court held a hearing on May 25, 2021 to hear arguments from the lawyers. The court has not yet rendered a decision on this issue. On March 5, 2021, Purple LLC, Gary DiCamillo, Adam Gray, Joseph Megibow, Terry Pearce, and Tony Pearce, filed a motion to dismiss the claims set forth in Case II, and briefing on the motion to dismiss is complete, but the motion will not likely be heard until after the Court rules on ReST’s motion to compel arbitration, which is still pending. Purple LLC seeks over $4 million in damages from ReST, whereas ReST claims that Purple is liable to it for tens of ~~numerous other individuals across~~millions of dollars. The outcome of this litigation cannot be predicted at this early stage. However, Purple intends to vigorously pursue its claims and defend against the ~~country~~claims made by ReST.
On November 19, 2020, Purple LLC sued Advanced Comfort Technologies, Inc., dba Intellibed (“Intellibed”) in ~~violation~~the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah for patent infringement, trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and a number of related state law based claims. The principal allegations are that Intellibed has manufactured and sold unauthorized, infringing products under the Sleepy’s brand name owned by third-party Mattress Firm. Purple LLC also requested declaratory relief related to certain assignment terms of a license agreement in which Purple LLC is the licensor and Intellibed is the licensee. On December 14, 2020, Intellibed filed a motion to dismiss Counts I through XI of Purple LLC’s Complaint on the ground that these Counts fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On December 15, 2020, Intellibed filed an Answer to Purple LLC’s complaint and also asserted against Purple LLC a total of eight counterclaims, including a number of declaratory judgment claims, breach of contract, and tortious interference claims. Intellibed’s main allegations are that its use of Purple LLC’s patents, trademark, and trade secrets in connection with Mattress Firm’s Sleepy’s products is authorized under the license agreement. On January 19, 2021, Purple LLC filed a motion to dismiss Intellibed’s fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth counterclaims on the ground that these counterclaims fail to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Briefing on Purple LLC’s partial motion to dismiss was completed on March 2, 2021. On January 19, 2021, Purple LLC also filed an Answer to Intellibed’s counterclaims, which were not subject to Purple LLC’s motion to dismiss. On January 27, 2021, Purple LLC filed a First Amended Complaint in response to Intellibed’s initial motion to dismiss. On February 10, 2021, Intellibed filed a motion to dismiss Counts I through XI of Purple LLC’s First Amended Complaint. Briefing on Intellibed’s partial motion to dismiss was completed on March 24, 2021. Both motions to dismiss are still pending before the Court. The case is in the early stages. No substantial discovery has taken place. The Court has not yet entered a Scheduling Order governing the case, and no trial date has been set.
On June 8, 2021, Serta Simmons Bedding, LLC (“SSB”) filed a Complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia, Case No. 21-A-04413-1 (the “Georgia Litigation”). SSB’s Complaint alleges that the Company intentionally interfered with SSB’s business and contractual relations and violated the Georgia Trade Secrets Act by hiring one of SSB’s former employees in the face of a purportedly valid 2015 noncompete agreement. SSB seeks compensatory damages, punitive damages, equitable relief, and attorneys’ fees as a result of the ~~Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 (“TCPA”~~conduct alleged in the Complaint. SSB also initiated arbitration against its former employee who Purple LLC has agreed to indemnify, subject to certain conditions. On July 9, 2021, the Company filed its own Complaint in the Fourth Judicial District Court of Salt Lake County, Utah, Case No. 21040011 (the “Utah Litigation”)~~. The~~, seeking: (1) a declaratory judgment that the arbitration clause in the former employee’s 2015 noncompete agreement is unenforceable, (2) a declaratory judgment that the restrictive covenants in the former employee’s 2015 noncompete agreement are unenforceable, and (3) an order enjoining arbitration proceedings initiated by SSB and currently pending against the former employee. On July 12, 2021, the Company filed an Answer to SSB’s Complaint in the Georgia Litigation, denying all allegations of unlawful conduct, and further moved to dismiss the ~~lawsuit~~Georgia Litigation on ~~jurisdictional~~the grounds that Georgia is an inconvenient forum and ~~provided evidence regarding Ms. Harper’s~~the parties’ dispute should instead be litigated in Utah. SSB’s response is due on August 16, 2021. The court is expected to render a decision on the Company’s motion to dismiss the Georgia Litigation in September 2021. The Company continues to deny that any illegal or wrongful conduct occurred and intends to continue to defend against SSB’s claims vigorously. At this time, the Company is unable to determine whether an unfavorable outcome is probable and declines to express ~~consent~~an opinion as to ~~receive telephonic communications. Subsequently thereto, on July 27, 2020, Ms. Harper voluntarily dismissed her lawsuit against Purple Innovation, LLC.~~an amount or range of potential loss that may result from the litigation.

Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of the Class A Stock. For example, if a warrant holder holds one warrant to purchase one-half of one share of Class A Stock, such warrant will not be exercisable. If a warrant holder holds two warrants, such warrants will be exercisable for one share of the Class A Stock. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. The warrants have a five-year term which commenced on March 2, 2018, 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, and will expire on February 2, 2023, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company may call the warrants for redemption if the reported last sale price of the Class A Stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; provided, however, that the ~~Sponsor Warrants~~sponsor warrants are not redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Company may call the warrants for redemption at a price of $0.01 per Share of Class A Stock if the reported last sale price of the Class A Stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company calls the Incremental Loan Warrants for redemption, it will have the option to require the holder to exercise the Incremental Loan Warrants on a cashless basis, by surrendering their Incremental Loan Warrants for that number of shares of Class A Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Stock underlying the Incremental Loan Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Sponsor Warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below), by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” means the average reported last sale price of the Class A Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of Incremental Loan Warrants.
In the event of a “fundamental transaction” as defined in the warrant agreement, the holder will have the right to purchase and receive the same kind and amount of consideration receivable by the stockholders of the Company upon the occurrence of such fundamental transaction. The warrant agreement requires the Company to cause the surviving company in a fundamental transaction, to assume the obligations of the Company under the Incremental Loan Warrants. In addition, a clause in the Incremental Loan Warrant Agreement states, upon the occurrence of a fundamental transaction, that the holders of the Incremental Loan Warrants may elect to either (i) have the exercise price of the warrant reduced by the Black-Scholes value of the Incremental Loan Warrants (as set forth in the Incremental Loan Warrants Agreement) or (ii) cause the Company or its successor to repurchase all or a portion of the Incremental Loan Warrants at the Black-Scholes value (as set forth in the Incremental Loan Warrants). In addition, upon the occurrence of any of the additional following events: (1) acquisition of 25% or more of the total voting power of all the securities of the entity by any one person or group of affiliated persons or entities; (2) Tony Pearce or Terry Pearce individually or together ceasing to beneficially own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company; or (3) the Board of Directors ceasing to be comprised of a majority of independent directors as defined under NASDAQ rules, the exercise price of the warrant will be reduced by a value based upon a formula model established in the agreement. As a result of these clauses, the Incremental Loan Warrants embody an obligation to repurchase the Company’s equity shares, or is indexed to such an obligation, and may require the Company to settle the obligation by transferring assets. As such, the Incremental Loan Warrants are classified as liabilities under ASC 480 - ~~Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity~~.
~~During the six months ended June 30,~~May 2020, Tony Pearce orand Terry Pearce individually or together ceased to beneficially own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company. As a result, the exercise price of the warrants ~~were~~was reduced to ~~$0,~~zero based on the formula established in the agreement.
On October 27, 2020, the Company provided notice to the holders of the Incremental Loan Warrants that the Company was exercising its right to redeem such warrants by paying to the warrant holders the redemption price of $0.01 per warrant on November 30, 2020. Any exercise of the warrants prior to that date was to be done on a cashless basis, in accordance with the terms of the warrants. On November 9, 2020, upon the exercise of all the Incremental Loan Warrants, the Company issued 2.6 million shares of Class A common stock in exchange for the Incremental Loan Warrants held by the Incremental Lenders.
Noncontrolling Interest
Noncontrolling interest (“NCI”) is the membership interest in Purple LLC held by holders other than the Company. ~~On February 2, 2018, upon~~Upon the close of the Business Combination, and at December 31, 2018, InnoHold’s and other ~~Purple LLC~~ Class B Unit holders’ combined NCI percentage in Purple LLC was approximately 82%. At June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the combined NCI percentage in Purple LLC was approximately ~~32%~~1%. The Company has consolidated the financial position and results of operations of Purple LLC and reflected the proportionate interest held by all such Purple LLC Class B Unit holders as NCI.
14. Income Taxes
The Company’s sole material asset is Purple LLC, which is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for purposes of certain state and local income taxes. Purple LLC’s net taxable income and any related tax credits are passed through to its members and are included in the members’ tax returns, even though such net taxable income or tax credits may not have actually been distributed. While the Company consolidates Purple LLC for financial reporting purposes, the Company will be taxed on its share of earnings of Purple LLC not attributed to the noncontrolling interest holders, which will continue to bear their share of income tax on its allocable earnings of Purple LLC. The income tax burden on the earnings taxed to the noncontrolling interest holders is not reported by the Company in its consolidated financial statements under GAAP. As a result, the Company’s effective tax rate differs ~~materially~~ from the statutory rate. The primary factors impacting the expected tax are the allocation of tax benefit to noncontrolling interest and the ~~impact~~non-taxable nature of the ~~valuation allowance.~~change in fair value of the warrant liability.

~~In prior periods~~Prior to the second quarter of 2020, the Company ~~had~~ maintained a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets which are comprised primarily of basis differences in Purple LLC. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets on income tax returns. In periods prior ~~periods,~~to the second quarter of 2020, management ~~had determined~~made the determination that its net deferred tax assets were not more likely than not going to be realized ~~due to existence of critical negative evidence that~~because the Company was in a three-year cumulative loss ~~position.~~position and the generation of future taxable income was uncertain. Considering this and other factors, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance of $44.3 million ~~was maintained~~ through the period ending March 31, 2020.
~~For~~During fiscal 2020, the ~~period ended June 30, 2020,~~Company achieved three-year cumulative income for the first time and ~~in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management~~ determined that it ~~is now~~would likely generate sufficient taxable income to utilize some of its deferred tax assets. Based on this and other positive evidence, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that some of its ~~net~~ deferred tax assets ~~will~~would be realized and that a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets iswas no longer appropriate. As ~~of the period ended June 30, 2020, the Company is no longer in a three-year cumulative loss position. As~~ a result, ~~of the removal of this negative evidence and other items of positive evidence, the Company has determined that the deferred tax assets are now more likely than not to be realized. Accordingly, $32.8~~$35.5 million of the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s federal and state deferred tax assets was released during 2020 and recorded as an income tax benefit during the period ended June 30, 2020. An additional $2.7 million of remaining valuation allowance will be released in subsequent quarters as taxes are recorded. In addition, and in conjunction with the removal of the valuation allowance, the Company recorded an additional $59.0 million in deferred tax assets primarily related to tax basis increases resulting from exchanges of Class B Paired Securities during the six months ended June 30, 2020.benefit. The deferred tax assets at June 30, ~~2020 are $112.1~~2021 totaled $209.0 million, ~~with $11.5~~which is net of a $70.4 million ~~of remaining~~ valuation allowance ~~recorded against the deferred tax assets, which will be released in subsequent quarters. $8.8 million of valuation allowance~~that has been recorded against the residual outside partnership basis for the amount the Company believes is not more likely than not realizable. As a result, there was an overall increase of $18.4 million in the valuation allowance from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of an increase in the residual outside partnership basis.
The Company currently estimates its annual effective income tax rate to be ~~0.4%~~27.30%. The annualized effective tax rate for the Company differs from the federal rate of 21% primarily due to ~~(1)~~ the ~~release of a portion~~non-taxable nature of the ~~valuation allowance through~~change in fair value of the ~~current year’s annual effective tax rate calculation,~~warrant liability and ~~(2) NCI in Purple LLC that is allocated to InnoHold~~state and ~~others.~~local income taxes.

~~The effective tax rate as of June 30, 2020, is (166)% primarily due to the tax benefit from the release of the valuation allowance.~~ For the ~~three months and~~ six months ended June 30, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company has recorded an income tax ~~benefit~~expense of ~~$35.4 million and $35.7 million, respectively.~~$3.5 million. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 12.91%, which is less than the federal statutory rate because the gain related to the change in fair value of the warrant liability is excluded from taxable income for income tax purposes.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law in March 2020. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (2017 Tax Act). Corporate taxpayers may carryback net operating losses (NOLs) originating during 2018 through 2020 for up to five years, which was not previously allowed under the 2017 Tax Act. The CARES Act also eliminates the 80% of taxable income limitations by allowing corporate entities to fully utilize NOL carryforwards to offset taxable income in 2018, 2019 or 2020. Taxpayers may generally deduct interest up to the sum of 50% of adjusted taxable income plus business interest income (30% limit under the 2017 Tax Act) for tax years beginning January 1, 2019 and 2020. The CARES Act allows taxpayers with alternative minimum tax credits to claim a refund in 2020 for the entire amount of the credits instead of recovering the credits through refunds over a period of years, as originally enacted by the 2017 Tax Act.
~~In addition,~~On March 11, 2021, Congress passed, and the ~~CARES~~President signed into law, the American Rescue Plan Act, ~~raises~~2021 (the “ARP”), which includes certain business tax provisions. At this point the corporate charitable deduction limit to 25% of taxable income and makes qualified improvement property generally eligible for 15-year cost-recovery and 100% bonus depreciation.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into ~~the TRA~~a tax receivable agreement with InnoHold, which provides for the payment by the Company to InnoHold of 80% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Closing as a result of (i) any tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the distribution to InnoHold of the cash consideration, (ii) the tax basis increases in the assets of Purple LLC resulting from the redemption by Purple LLC or the exchange by the Company, as applicable, of Class B Paired Securities or cash, as applicable, and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, payments it makes under the ~~TRA.~~tax receivable agreement.

InnoHold Incentive Units
In January 2017, pursuant to the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan approved by InnoHold and Purple LLC that authorized the issuance of 12.0 million incentive units, Purple LLC granted 11.3 million incentive units to Purple Team LLC, an entity for the benefit of certain employees who were participants in that plan. In conjunction with the Business Combination, Purple Team LLC was merged into InnoHold with InnoHold being the surviving entity and the Purple Team LLC incentive units were cancelled and new incentive units were issued by InnoHold under its own limited liability company agreement (the “InnoHold Agreement”). On February 8, 2019, InnoHold initiated a tender offer to each of these incentive unit holders, some of which are current employees of Purple LLC, to distribute to each a pro rata number of 2.5 million Paired Securities held by InnoHold in exchange for the cancellation of their ownership interests in InnoHold. All InnoHold incentive unit holders accepted the offer, and the terms and distribution of each transaction were finalized and closed on June 25, 2019. At the closing of the tender offer, those incentive unit holders received, based on their pro rata holdings of InnoHold Class B Units, a portion of 2.5 million Paired Securities held by InnoHold. The distribution by InnoHold to current employees of Purple LLC as of the distribution date resulted in the recognition of non-cash stock compensation expense for Purple LLC in the amount of $6.3 million which represented the fair value of the Paired Securities as of the distribution date in 2019. As of June 30, ~~2020, 0.8~~2021, 0.4 million of the Paired Securities remain to be exchanged for Class A Stock by the incentive unit holders. ~~A small number of Paired Securities remain subject to vesting contingent upon such current employees’ continued employment with the Company.~~

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to provide a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial condition of Purple Innovation, Inc. than can be obtained from reading the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements alone. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements.”
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that represent our current expectations and beliefs. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “believe,” “expect,” “project,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “may,” “might,” the negative of these words and other similar words.
All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are made only as of the date thereof. It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change throughout the year, and any forward-looking statements based upon these projections or expectations may change prior to the end of the next quarter or year. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
We caution and advise readers that these statements are based on assumptions that may not be realized and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations and beliefs contained herein. These risks include, among others, the evolving impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. For a summary of these risks, see the risk factors included in the “Risk Factors” section in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on ~~March 9, 2020.~~
~~Introductory Note~~
On February 2, 2018, our predecessor, GPAC, consummated the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, by and among GPAC, Merger Sub, Purple LLC, InnoHold and the Sponsor, which provided for the Company’s acquisition of Purple LLC’s business through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Purple LLC, with Purple LLC being the survivor in the Business Combination.
In connection with the Closing, the Company changed its name from “Global Partner Acquisition Corp.” to “Purple Innovation, Inc.” The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization because the former owners of Purple LLC had control over the combined company through their 82% ownership of the common stock of the Company. Although the Company was the legal acquirer, the historical operations of Purple LLC are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect (i) the historical operating results of Purple LLC prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the combined results of the Company following the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Purple LLC at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity and earnings per share for all periods (both pre- and post-Business Combination) presented.

Our proprietary gel technology, Hyper-Elastic Polymer, underpins many of our comfort products and provides a range of benefits that differentiate our offerings from other competitors’ products. We market and sell our products through our ~~direct-to-consumer (“DTC”)~~DTC online channels, retail brick-and-mortar wholesale partners, third-party online retailers and ~~our~~ Company showrooms.
Organization
Our business consists of Purple Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, Purple LLC. Purple Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on May 19, 2015 as a special purpose acquisition company under the name of GPAC. On February 2, 2018, Purple Inc. consummated a transaction structured similar to a reverse recapitalization (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which Purple Inc. acquired an equity interest in Purple LLC and became its sole managing member. As the sole managing member of Purple LLC, Purple Inc., through its officers and directors, is responsible for all operational and administrative decision making and control of the day-to-day business affairs of Purple LLC without the approval of any other member. In connection with the Business Combination, InnoHold retained an 82% economic interest in Purple LLC. InnoHold subsequently transferred a portion of its Class B Units to permitted transferees and exchanged its remaining shares for shares of Class A Stock that it sold. At June 30, 2021, Purple Inc. had a 99% economic interest in Purple LLC while other Class B Unit holders had the remaining 1%.

COVID-19 Pandemic Developments
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many aspects of our operations, directly and indirectly, including disruption of our employees, consumer behavior, distribution and logistics, our suppliers, and the market overall. The scope and nature of these impacts continue to evolve. ~~In light~~Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken ~~a number of~~ precautionary measures recommended by the appropriate national and state health agencies to manage our resources and mitigate the adverse impact of the pandemic, which is intended to help minimize the risk to our Company, employees, customers, and the communities in which we operate. Employees at the Company’s headquarters and certain other employees have been asked to work from home where possible, with only limited access given to employees to work in the office when necessary. For roles that require employees to be on-site, such as our manufacturing facility and distribution center, we are providing protective equipment, practicing social distancing and increasing sanitizing standards.
Despite the ongoing challenges from COVID-19, ~~the Company has~~we have been able to capitalize on the opportunities created by this situation. We were able to continue ~~to serve~~serving our customers through our ~~Direct to Consumer (“DTC”)~~DTC channel, ~~which has remained~~as strong ~~throughout the quarter as~~ consumer demand for our premium, differentiated product offerings shifted to our DTC ~~channel.~~channel throughout 2020. We continue to focus our efforts in our DTC core competencies resulting in a continued acceleration in DTC channel sales across all of our product categories throughout the quarter. This increase in demand was a contributing factor to DTC net revenue growth of 128% over the prior year second quarter. There can be no assurance that this trend of increased demand through our DTC channel will continue. We initially experienced a sharp decline in the wholesale side of our business during the second quarter of 2020 as temporary shutdowns of non-essential businesses and shelter-at-home directives occurred in most U.S. states. As the shutdowns were lifted and stores began to open again, demand through the wholesale channel ~~increased. In addition,~~has increased and customer demand in 2021 has shifted to wholesale and DTC levels we were ~~able~~experiencing prior to ~~re-open~~the COVID-19 pandemic. All of our ~~three~~ showrooms ~~in California in June 2020, one~~are currently open and we have continued with our expansion plans by opening four new showrooms since the beginning of ~~which subsequently closed again in July 2020 in compliance with local orders.~~
2021.

This increase in DTC and Wholesale demand allowed us to work through a portion of our on-hand inventory and required us to ramp up production. We continue to take advantage of our vertically integrated business model to adjust production schedules to leverage inventory on hand and tightly manage labor costs. We also continue to dynamically adjust our significant discretionary online advertising spend in response to any changes in DTC trends as they develop.
Our supply chain has not been significantly affected by COVID-19. ~~Currently, our domestic suppliers are able to continue operations and provide necessary materials when needed.~~ Suppliers in China were temporarily closed ~~as a result~~because of the pandemic, but we had sufficient inventory on ~~hand. Many of~~hand to meet our production needs. These suppliers have resumed production and are able to supply materials as needed. Most of our domestic suppliers have been able to continue operations and provide necessary materials when needed. We have experienced some constraints from certain suppliers due to our increased production to meet demand. We have also experienced some shipping delays in the delivery of our product to our customers. This is due to the increased nationwide demand placed on delivery companies.
Although ~~the Company has~~we have taken ~~numerous~~ measures to protect ~~the~~our business, we cannot predict the specific duration for which ~~these~~ precautionary measures relating to COVID-19 will stay in effect, and we may elect or ~~need~~be required to take additional measures as the information available to us continues to develop, including with respect to our employees, manufacturing ~~facility~~facilities and distribution center, and relationships with our suppliers and customers. Subject to certain assumptions regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and government, consumer, and our responses thereto, based on our current projections we believe our cash on hand, ongoing cash generated from e-commerce, liquidity available under our line of credit, and ~~eventual~~continuing resumption and ramp up of store operations and our wholesale business, will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months. ~~However,~~
While most state and local governments have eased restrictions on commercial retail activity, it is possible that a resurgence in cases of COVID-19 or one of its variants could prompt a return to tighter restrictions in certain areas of the ~~extent to which~~country. Furthermore, while the bedding industry has fared much better during the pandemic than certain other sectors of the economy, continued economic weakness mayeventually have an adverse impact upon the industry and our business. Therefore, significant uncertainty remains regarding the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 ~~pandemic~~outbreak upon our financial condition and ~~our precautionary measures~~future results of operations, as well as upon the significant estimates and assumptions we utilize in ~~response thereto may~~reporting certain assets and liabilities.
Isolated Production Challenges
During the second quarter of 2021, following an accident resulting in the death of an employee and subsequent safety improvements involving the Mattress Max machines, the Company encountered isolated production challenges caused by unanticipated mechanical and maintenance issues when bringing the machines back online. As a result, the Company has experienced significantly reduced production levels causing shipment backlogs that unfavorably affected second quarter net revenues and will also adversely impact ~~our business~~third quarter net revenues. The Company exited the month of July with production back at planned levels and expects to be out of the current backlog position by the end of August. The Company also expects there to be no impact on completing the scheduled addition of new Mattress Max machines as previously announced. The Company is confident that these issues are an isolated event and will ~~depend~~have no impact on ~~future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be precisely predicted at this time.~~its ability to scale beyond 2021.

Revenue
~~Total net revenue~~Net revenues increased ~~$62.1~~$17.5 million, or ~~60.3%~~10.6%, to $182.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $165.1 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2020. Our wholesale business generated net revenue growth of $46.5 million, or 233.2% during the second quarter of 2021 while DTC net revenues decreased by $29.0 million, or 19.9%. Net revenue changes associated with our DTC channel relative to our wholesale business reflected a shift in customer demand to levels we were experiencing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our wholesale business was also favorably impacted by wholesale expansion and the prior year second quarter being negatively impacted by the temporary shutdown of wholesale partner operations caused by the pandemic. Net revenues were unfavorably impacted by isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of 2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above). The increase in net revenues from ~~$103.0~~a product perspective reflected a $12.2 million increase in mattress sales, a $4.0 million increase in other bedding product sales and a $1.3 million increase in other product sales. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in customer demand.

Cost of Revenues
The cost of revenues increased $17.4 million, or 20.9%, to $100.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 due to a $40.1 million increase in mattress sales, a $14.0 million increase in top of mattress sales and a $8.0 million net increase in other products. These increases in revenue were primarily attributable to a channel shift toward DTC across all product lines due to recent increases in online shopping in home furnishings.
~~Cost of Revenues~~
~~The cost of revenues increased $23.2 million, or 38.6%, to~~2021 from $83.5 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020 from $60.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The~~2020. This increase, ~~was due to~~which reflected a ~~$9.3~~$7.9 million increase in direct material costs, a ~~$4.8~~$9.2 million increase in labor and overhead costs, and a ~~$4.8~~$0.3 million increase in ~~freight charges~~all other costs, was primarily due to increased product sales and ~~a $4.3 million increase in merchant processing fees.. The~~higher production and material costs. Our gross profit percentage ~~increased~~decreased to ~~49.4%~~44.7% of net revenues for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020 from 41.5%~~2021 compared to 49.4% for the same period in ~~2019.~~2020. The ~~improvement~~decrease in our gross profit percentage was primarily driven by a higher ~~margins due to~~proportion of wholesale channel ~~shift toward higher~~revenue, which carries a lower gross margin than revenue from the DTC ~~sales.~~channel, combined with the impact of isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of 2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above).
Marketing and Sales
Marketing and sales expenses increased ~~$3.4~~$20.4 million, or ~~9.6%~~51.8%, to $59.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $39.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was due to an $11.8 million increase in advertising costs due to higher advertising rates in 2021 and advertising costs in 2020 ~~from $36.0~~being uncharacteristically low due to the pandemic, a $3.5 million increase in personnel costs related to planned growth of our workforce and a $5.1 million increase in other marketing and sales expenses. Marketing and sales expense as a percentage of net revenues was 32.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 23.9% for the comparative prior period. The higher percentage of net revenues in the current quarter was due in part to product sales being unfavorably impacted by isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of 2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above) coupled with higher advertising rates in 2021 and advertising costs in the prior year second quarter being uncharacteristically low because of the pandemic.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $13.8 million, or 158.9%, to $22.5 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2021 from $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to ~~a $2.3~~an $11.2 million increase in ~~advertising~~legal and professional fees related to offering costs, consultants, professional staffing and executive placement costs, a ~~$3.0~~$1.4 million increase in ~~marketing salaries~~personnel costs related to planned growth of our workforce, and a $1.2 million increase in all other expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development costs increased $0.3 million, or 21.7%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in ~~personnel, partially offset by a decrease~~professional services costs related to product development activities.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased $34.5 million to an operating loss of ~~$1.9~~$2.5 million ~~increase in other marketing and sales expenses. The marketing and sales expense as a percentage~~for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from operating income of ~~net revenue was 23.9%~~$32.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

~~General and Administrative~~Interest Expense
~~General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million, or 9.4%, to $8.7~~Interest expense totaled $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2020 from $7.9~~2021, as compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. The ~~increase~~$0.8 million decrease was primarily due to ~~increases~~the $35.0 million Related Party Loan, which carried an interest rate of 12.00%, being refinanced in ~~salaries related to~~the third quarter of 2020 with a $45.0 million term loan at an ~~increase~~initial interest rate of 3.50%. Interest expense in ~~personnel, software subscriptions, legal~~2021 also includes amortization of deferred loan costs associated with the 2020 Credit Agreement and fees ~~partially offset by decreases in other expenses.~~
~~Research and Development~~
Research and development costs increased $0.4 million, or 27.0%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was due to a $0.4 million increase in salaries and other R&D expenses as we added resources for new product innovation.
~~Operating Income (loss)~~
Operating income increased $34.4 million to $32.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, from operating loss of $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increased DTC sales with higher margins and lower marketing and sales costs as a percentage of revenue.
~~Interest Expense~~
~~We incurred $1.4 million in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 including $1.2 million~~ related to the ~~Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and $0.2 million in other interest. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement had an outstanding principal balance~~revolving line of $41.6 million at June 30, 2020. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 12% and we have been historically capitalizing 7% interest and paying 5% interest in cash. In March 2020, we signed the first amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that allows the Company to capitalize the full 12% interest, or approximately $1.2 million for each of the two quarterly payments due March 31 and June 30, 2020. This was part of an effort to reduce cash disbursements during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Interest expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The portion relating to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was $1.2 million of which $0.7 million was paid-in-kind through additions to the principal amount and $0.5 million was paid in cash. In addition, we incurred discounts and debt issuance costs related to the debt in the amount of $0.2 million which was amortized to interest expense as non-cash interest.credit.

Change in Fair Value – Warrant Liabilities
~~The~~On February 26, 2019, the Incremental Lenders funded a $10.0 million increase in the Related Party Loan and received 2.6 million warrants to purchase 2.6 million shares of our Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. We accounted for the Incremental Loan Warrants ~~issued in conjunction with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are classified~~ as liabilities and recorded them at fair value on the date of the transaction and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. ~~An increase in fair value for the three months ended June 30, 2020 resulted in a non-cash loss in the amount of $39.0 million recorded in earnings for the period. The increase in~~We determined the fair value of the Incremental Loan Warrants to be $47.0 million at June 30, 2020. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a loss of $39.0 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to the change in fair value of these warrants. There was no gain or loss on the Incremental Loan Warrants for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as they were exercised in 2020.
There were 15.5 million public warrants issued in connection with GPAC’s formation and IPO and 12.8 million sponsor warrants issued pursuant to a simultaneous private placement with the IPO. We have accounted for these warrants as liabilities and recorded them at fair value on the date of the transaction and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value included in earnings. The 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding at June 30, 2021 had a fair value of $14.5 million. The fair value of the public and sponsor warrants outstanding at June 30, 2020 was ~~due primarily~~$107.1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a gain of $4.9 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to a decrease in the fair value of the sponsor warrants exercised during the quarter or that were outstanding at the end of the quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a loss of $91.3 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to an increase in ~~our stock price and~~ the ~~decrease~~fair value of the ~~Pearce’s ownership interest below 50%, which triggered a change in~~public and sponsor warrants exercised during the ~~exercise price~~prior year quarter or that were outstanding at the end of the ~~outstanding Incremental Loan Warrants to $0.~~prior year quarter.

~~As a result of the Business Combination in 2018, we~~We attribute net income or loss to the Class B ~~units~~Units in Purple LLC ~~owned by InnoHold and other parties,~~ as a noncontrolling interest at their aggregate ownership percentage. AtWe calculate net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests on a quarterly basis using their weighted average ownership percentage. Net loss attributed to noncontrolling interests was negligible for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the net income level attributed to noncontrolling interests resulted from the noncontrolling ownership interest declining from approximately 32% at June 30, 2020 ~~this ownership percentage was~~to approximately ~~32%, a decrease from approximately 82%~~1% at June 30, 2019. This decrease was the result of the exchange of 26.6 million Paired Securities for Class A Stock, mostly attributed to InnoHold’s two secondary public offerings concluded in November 2019 and May 2020.2021.

Revenue
~~Total net revenue~~Net revenues increased ~~$100.8~~$81.5 million, or ~~54.0%~~28.4%, to $369.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $287.5 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020~~2020. During the first six months of 2021, DTC net revenues increased $15.3 million, or 6.8%, while our wholesale business generated net revenue growth of $66.3 million, or 107.6%. Net revenue changes associated with our DTC channel relative to our wholesale business reflected a shift in customer demand to levels we were experiencing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our wholesale business was also favorably impacted by wholesale expansion and the prior year second quarter being negatively impacted by the temporary shutdown of wholesale partner operations caused by the pandemic. Net revenues were unfavorably impacted by the isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of 2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above). The increase in net revenues from ~~$186.7~~a product perspective reflected a $58.3 million increase in mattress sales, a $15.3 million increase in other bedding product sales and a $7.9 million increase in other product sales. This growth was primarily driven by an increase in customer demand.
Cost of Revenues
The cost of revenues increased $47.1 million, or 30.9%, to $199.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due mainly to a $66.6 million increase in mattress sales, a $24.5 million increase in top of mattress sales and a $9.6 million net increase in other products. These increases in revenue were primarily attributable to a channel shift toward DTC across all product lines due to recent increases in online shopping in home furnishings.
~~Cost of Revenues~~
~~The cost of revenues increased $42.9 million, or 39.0%,~~2021 compared to $152.7 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020 from $109.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.~~2020.

Marketing and Sales
Marketing and sales expenses increased ~~$16.1~~$38.1 million, or ~~26.9%~~50.1%, to $114.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $76.1 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020 from $60.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased $20.8 million, or 128.0%, to $37.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to efficiencies in our advertising spending created from enhanced marketing strategies, lower advertising costs and a temporary reduction in advertising spending as part of our cash preservation initiatives.
~~General and Administrative~~
~~General and administrative expenses increased $3.7 million, or 29.8%,~~2021 compared to $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020 from $12.5~~2020. This increase was primarily due to a $14.3 million increase in legal and professional fees related to offering costs, consultants, professional staffing and executive placement costs, a $3.3 million increase related to planned increases in our workforce, and a $3.2 million increase in all other expenses.
Research and Development
Research and development costs increased $0.6 million, or 20.5%, to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a $3.5 million increase in salaries related to an increase in personnel, a $1.1 million increase in software subscriptions, legal fees and a new corporate building lease and $1.4 million increase in all other expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million of stock compensation expense.
~~Research and Development~~
~~Research and development costs increased $1.1 million, or 56.4%, to~~2021 from $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020 from $1.9~~2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in professional services costs related to product development activities.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased $25.1 million, or 63.6%, to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2019. The increase was primarily due to $0.6 million in amortization~~2021, from operating income of ~~a one-year license agreement for innovative technology and a $0.5 million increase in salaries and other R&D expenses as we added resources for new product innovation.~~
~~Operating Income~~
~~Operating income increased $37.1 million, or 1,519.7%, to~~ $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2020, from operating income~~2020. This decrease was due in part to net revenues being unfavorably impacted by isolated production issues that occurred in the second quarter of ~~$2.4~~2021 (see Isolated Production Challenges above) coupled with higher marketing and sales expenses, increased legal and professional fees and increased expenses associated with planned growth of our workforce.
Interest Expense
Interest expense totaled $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2019. The increase was primarily due~~2021 as compared to ~~increased DTC sales with higher margins and lower marketing and sales costs as a percentage of revenue.~~
~~Interest Expense~~
~~We incurred~~ $2.8 million in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 including $2.4 million related to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and $0.4 million in other interest. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement had an outstanding principal balance of $41.6 million at June 30, 2020. Interest accrues at a fixed rate of 12% and we have been historically capitalizing 7% interest and paying 5% interest in cash. In March 2020, we signed the first amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that allows the Company to capitalize the full 12% interest, or approximately $1.2 million for the two quarterly payments due March 31 and June 30, 2020. This was part of an effort to reduce cash disbursements during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Interest expense was $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, ~~2019.~~2020. The ~~portion relating~~$1.7 million decrease was primarily due to the ~~Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was $2.0~~$35.0 million Related Party Loan, which carried an interest rate of ~~which $1.2~~12.00%, being refinanced in the third quarter of 2020 with a $45.0 million ~~was paid-in-kind through additions to the principal amount and $0.8 million was paid~~term loan at an initial interest rate of 3.50%. Interest expense in ~~cash. In addition, there was $0.4 million in other interest.~~
~~Loss on Extinguishment~~2021 also includes amortization of ~~Debt~~
In February 2019, in conjunction with the Incremental Loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we determined that the amended debt terms resulted in substantially different terms for a portion of the existing debt and therefore was required to be accounted for as an extinguishment of a portion of the existing debt. Accordingly, we recognized a non-cash loss on the extinguishment of a portion of the existing debt of approximately $6.3 million. This was a non-cash expense primarilydeferred loan costs associated with the ~~recognition~~2020 Credit Agreement and fees related to the revolving line of ~~related unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs and the fair value of the Incremental Loan Warrants issued.~~credit.

We accounted for the Incremental Loan Warrants ~~issued in conjunction with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are classified~~ as liabilities and recorded them at fair value on the date of the transaction and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in the fair value included in earnings. ~~An increase in fair value for the six months ended June 30, 2020 resulted in a non-cash loss in the amount of $25.3 million recorded in earnings for the period. The increase in~~We determined the fair value of the Incremental Loan Warrants ~~as of~~to be $47.0 million at June 30, 2020 was due primarily to the increase in our stock price and the decrease of the Pearce’s ownership interest below 50%, which triggered a change in the exercise price of the outstanding Incremental Loan Warrants to $0.
~~Tax Receivable Agreement Expense~~
In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the TRA with InnoHold. As noncontrolling interest holders exercise their right to exchange or cause Purple LLC to redeem all or a portion of their Class B Units, a TRA Liability is recorded based on 80% of the estimated future cash tax savings that the Company may realize as a result of increases in the basis of the assets of Purple LLC attributed to the Company as a result of such exchange or redemption. As a result of the initial merger transaction and 26.6 million life to date exchanges of Class B Stock for Class A Stock and the release of the Company’s valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets to which the TRA liability relates, $78.7 million has been recorded as of June 30, 2020, of which $78.2 million was recorded during2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a loss of $25.3 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to the change in fair value of these warrants. There was no gain or loss on the Incremental Loan Warrants for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as they were exercised in 2020.

There were 15.5 million public warrants issued in connection with GPAC’s formation and IPO and 12.8 million sponsor warrants issued pursuant to a simultaneous private placement with the IPO. We have accounted for these warrants as liabilities and recorded them at fair value on the date of the transaction and subsequently re-measured to fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value included in earnings. The 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding at June 30, 2021 had a fair value of $14.5 million. The fair value of the public and sponsor warrants outstanding at June 30, 2020 was $107.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a gain of $14.0 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to a decrease in the fair value of the sponsor warrants exercised during the six-month period or that were outstanding at June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a loss of $83.3 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations related to an increase in the fair value of the public and sponsor warrants exercised during the prior year six-month period or that were outstanding at the end of June 30, 2020.
Tax Receivable Agreement Expense
The tax receivable agreement liability totaled $172.3 million and $172.0 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the first six months of 2021, we incurred $0.2 million of tax receivable agreement expense due to state tax rate changes. Of the total $78.2 million liability recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020, $45.3 million relates to current year exchanges and was recorded as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity and $32.9 was recorded to expense as it related to reestablishing the ~~TRA~~tax receivable agreement liability related to prior year exchanges. ~~There~~

The decrease in the net income level attributed to noncontrolling interests resulted from the noncontrolling ownership interest declining from approximately 32% at June 30, 2020 ~~this ownership percentage was~~to approximately ~~32%, a decrease from approximately 82%~~1% at June 30, 2019. This decrease was the result of the exchange of 26.6 million Paired Securities for Class A, mostly attributed to InnoHold’s two secondary public offerings concluded in November 2019 and May 2020.2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash needs have historically consisted of working capital, capital expenditures and debt service. Our working capital needs depend upon the timing of cash receipts from sales, payments to vendors and others, changes in inventories, and ~~capital and~~ operating lease payment obligations. Our cash and working capital ~~position are strong. We had cash in the amount of $95.4~~positions were $110.1 million and $96.4 million, respectively, as of June 30, ~~2020~~2021 compared to $123.0 million and ~~$33.5~~$96.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, ~~2019. We had working capital~~2020. Cash used for purchases of ~~$50.4~~property and equipment increased from $8.0 million ~~as of June 30, 2020, and we had working capital of $27.3 million as of December 31, 2019. During~~during the first six months ~~ended June 30,~~of 2020 ~~our accounts receivable decreased by $9.7~~to $26.2 million mainly due to a decrease in our wholesale revenue.

We financed these capital expenditures through cash provided by operating activities.~~of 2021. This increase primarily resulted from continuing to build out our new manufacturing facility in Georgia that began operations in March 2021, enhancing our manufacturing capabilities in Utah, scaling our infrastructure to support the growth of our workforce, and opening several new Company showrooms.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we took a number of precautionary measures to manage our resources and mitigate ~~the~~its adverse ~~impact of the pandemic.~~impact. Given the initial ~~difficultly~~difficulty in predicting how long ~~this~~the pandemic would persist and its full impact, we managed our business and opportunities to preserve liquidity. We temporarily reduced our capital spend by delaying all non-maintenance related projects and investments in non-essential initiatives and headcount additions. Other proactive steps were taken to carefully manage cash and quickly and prudently respond to the rapidly changing circumstances including temporarily furloughing a portion of our permanent workforce, temporarily deferring a portion of the cash compensation of Senior Executives and all the cash compensation of members of our Board of Directors, and limiting other discretionary expenses. We also entered into an amendment to our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to allow the Company to defer 5% of the interest for quarterly payments due during the first two quarters of 2020. In addition, our receivables from our wholesale partners remain healthy. Most of our wholesale partners continue to make payments in accordance with their original contract terms and remain current on their outstanding balances.
~~As a result of our precautionary measures, continued payments from wholesale customers, and our strong DTC sales, our cash balance increased by $61.9 million during the six months~~ ended ~~June 30, 2020. We have now ended many~~most of the cash preservation programs and ~~have~~ returned to ~~near~~ full production to meet increased ~~demand.~~demand during the second half of 2020. Subject to certain assumptions regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our responses thereto, based on our current projections we believe our cash on hand, ~~along with~~ ongoing cash generated from our DTC business, ~~strong~~amounts available under our line of credit, increasing demand of our ~~product~~products in the ~~Wholesale~~wholesale channel and ~~eventual resumption and~~continuing ramp up of store operations, will be sufficient to cover our working capital requirements and anticipated capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

On ~~January 28, 2019,~~September 3, 2020, we paid $45.0 million to retire, in full, all indebtedness related to Purple LLC’s Related Party Loan. The payment included $25.0 million for the original loan under the agreement, $10.0 million for a subsequent incremental loan, $6.6 million for paid-in-kind interest, $2.5 million for a prepayment fee and $0.9 million for accrued interest.
Also on September 3, 2020, Purple LLC entered into the ~~First Amendment, which amended the Credit Agreement. In the First Amendment, Purple LLC agreed to enter into the Amended and Restated~~2020 Credit Agreement ~~under which~~that provided for a $45.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $55.0 million revolving line of credit. The agreement has a five-year term and borrowing rates for both the ~~Lenders agreed~~Term Loan and revolving line of credit are based on Purple LLC’s leverage ratio and can range from LIBOR plus a 3.00% to ~~provide an incremental loan~~3.75% margin with a LIBOR minimum of ~~$10.0 million such that~~0.50%. As of June 30, 2021, there was no balance outstanding on the ~~total amount of principal~~revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to retire all indebtedness provided to Purple LLC was increased to $35.0 million. A stockholder meeting was held on February 25, 2019 at which time a majority of non-interested stockholders voted in favor of this transaction. Accordingly,associated with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and each related document, was closed and an incremental loan of $10.0 million was funded. In addition, we issued to the Lenders warrants to purchase 2.6 million shares of the Company’s Class A Stock at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. On February 26, 2019, we received approximately $9.2 million in proceeds after debt issuance costs and fees.

~~Debt service for~~During the six months ended June 30, ~~2020 totaled $2.5~~2021, 6.6 million sponsor warrants were exercised on a cash and ~~consisted~~cashless basis resulting in the issuance of ~~interest paid in-kind on~~2.3 million shares of Class A Stock. The proceeds received for the ~~Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as well as principal and interest payments on certain capital leases.~~cash exercise was $0.1 million. At June 30, 2021, there were 1.9 million sponsor warrants outstanding.
In the event our cash flow from operations or other sources of financing are less than anticipated, we believe we will be able to fund operating expenses based on our ability to scale back operations, reduce marketing spend and postpone or discontinue our growth strategies. In such event, this could result in slower growth or no growth, and we may run the risk of losing key suppliers, we may not be able to timely satisfy customer orders, and we may not be able to retain all of our employees. In addition, we may be forced to restructure our obligations to current creditors or pursue work-out options.
If cash flow from operations or available financing under the ~~Amended and Restated~~2020 Credit Agreement are not sufficient to fund our operating expenses or our growth strategies, we may need to raise additional capital. Our ability to obtain additional or alternative capital on acceptable terms or at all is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including instability in the credit and financial markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, political or social unrest, other macroeconomic factors and approval from the ~~Lenders.~~lenders under the 2020 Credit Agreement. Adequate financing may not be available or, if ~~available,~~offered, may only be available on unfavorable terms. The U.S. government has recently announced that it is establishing a Main Street Lending Program to support lending to small and medium-sized businesses. However, there is no guarantee that we will be eligible to participate in such program or that, if we are eligible to participate, that we will receive any benefits under this program. Further, the Main Street Lending Program imposes restrictions on how funds received are used that would limit our ability to operate our business. The restrictive covenants in the ~~Amended and Restated~~2020 Credit Agreement may make it difficult to obtain additional capital on terms that are favorable to us, and ~~the Lenders~~we may not ~~agree~~be able to ~~lend us~~satisfy the conditions necessary to obtain additional ~~funds.~~funds pursuant to the revolving credit facility under the 2020 Credit Agreement. There is no assurance we will obtain the capital we require. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fund our future operations or growth strategies. In addition, future equity or debt financings ~~including under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement,~~ may require us to also issue warrants or other equity securities that are likely to be dilutive to our existing stockholders. Newly issued securities may include preferences or superior voting rights or, as described above, may be combined with the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which each may have additional dilutive effects. Furthermore, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. If we cannot raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to carry out all or parts of our long-term growth strategy, maintain our growth and competitiveness or continue in business.
We are required to make certain payments to InnoHold under the ~~TRA,~~tax receivable agreement, which ~~payments~~ may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources. We are currently unable to determine the total future amount of these payments due to the unpredictable nature of several factors, including the timing of future exchanges, the market price of shares of Class A Stock at the time of the exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of future taxable income sufficient to utilize tax attributes that give rise to the payments under ~~TRA.~~the tax receivable agreement.

The decrease in cash provided by operations primarily resulted from a $43.5 million decrease in operating cash flows related to net changes in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the corresponding six-month period in the prior year. This decrease consisted of decreased cash from changes in period-over-period fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventories and liabilities, offset in part by an increase in cash related to a change in the year-over-year fluctuation in prepaid inventory and other assets.

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations during the Company signed a Lease (the “Lease”) with PNK S2, LLC for approximately 520,000 square feet located at 1325 Hwy 42 S., Building B, McDonough, Georgia (the “Building”). A copy of the Lease is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this report and incorporated by reference. The Company anticipates immediately preparing the Building for use as a manufacturing, distribution and office facility and expects it to be fully operationalthree months ended June 30, 2021 from those previously disclosed in ~~2021.~~
The term of the Lease is 128 months including an eight-month free rent period, which will commence upon completion of the landlord’s work on the Company’s space in the Building. The Company anticipates the landlord’s work to be completed in November, 2020. Prior to the commencement of the term, the Company has an immediate right to make use of the Building. Under the Lease, the Company will pay $3.41 per square foot annually or $147,675 per monthour Form 10-Q for the initial lease year. Thereafter the basic monthly rent increases 2% per year. The Lease also provides the Company with an option to extend the Lease term for two additional five-year periods at rates for the first renewal term of $4.24 per square foot with 2% annual increases and for the second renewal term of $4.75 per square foot with annual increases of 3.5%. The Company is also responsible for its proportionate share of the operating expenses incurred by the landlord for the Building. The Lease provides for a tenant improvement allowance of $12.50 per usable square foot. The Lease also provides the Company with signage rights and a right of first refusal on other contiguous space.quarterly period ended March 31, 2021.
Seasonality and Cyclicality
We believe that sales of our products are typically subject to seasonality corresponding to different periods of the consumer spending cycle, holidays and other seasonal factors. Our sales may also vary with the performance of the broader economy consistent with the market.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not Applicable.

~~Not Applicable.~~
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
~~As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.~~
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO” and together with the CEO, the “Certifying Officers”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon this evaluation, and the above criteria, our CEO and CFO concluded that due to the material weakness described below and as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K/A filed May 10, 2021, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, ~~2020.~~2021.
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
~~In connection with the preparation and interim review~~A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our ~~quarterly~~annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020, management concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 due to the material weakness described below.
Our internal control over financial reporting did not identify an error in the classification of the public and sponsor warrants issued in connection with our ~~independently registered~~IPO and through a simultaneous private placement, which we determined to be a material weakness. This error in classification was brought to our attention when the SEC issued a public statement (the “SEC Statement”) informing market participants that warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) may require classification as a liability of the entity measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. The SEC Statement addresses certain accounting ~~firm identified~~and reporting considerations related to warrants of a kind similar to those public and sponsor warrants we issued. We previously classified our public warrants and sponsor warrants as equity. As a result of such misclassification, we restated our previously issued audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, June 30, 2020 and 2019 and March 31, 2020 and 2019. Such restated financial statements were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on May 10, 2021.
In response to this material weakness in internal ~~controls~~control over ~~the tax provision process, specifically~~financial reporting related to the ~~release~~assessment of complex accounting issues reached in prior periods that continue to impact the ~~valuation allowance~~Company, we will implement a new control to assess complex accounting issues reached in the past that continue to impact the Company to ensure those conclusions reached are still appropriate. Our plans include increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding the ~~unique recording~~application of complex accounting transactions. Our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time and will be continually reviewed to determine that it is achieving its objectives. We can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the ~~Tax Receivable Agreement liability during the quarter as described in Note 14 –~~ ~~Income Taxes~~.intended effects.
We have begun remediating the underlying cause of this material weakness including the implementation of additional steps in our process of reviewing unique and complicated tax transactions. We believe these additional steps will enable us to identify and remediate quickly any potential errors in our processes and broaden the scope and quality of our controls over our tax processes.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.
~~There~~Other than the changes described above, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting ~~that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020~~ that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is from time to time involved in various claims, legal proceedings and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. Please refer to Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies ~~and Note 18~~ ~~– Subsequent Events~~to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report ~~and to Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 11, 2020~~ for certain information regarding our legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as described below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the ~~Securities and Exchange Commission~~SEC on March ~~9, 2020.~~
~~The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect aspects~~11, 2021 as amended by Form 10-K/A filed on May 10, 2021.The disclosure of ~~our business operations, including, among other things, our supply chain, workforce, and liquidity.~~
~~In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, SARS-CoV-2, and~~risks identified below does not imply that the ~~resulting disease, COVID-19,~~risk has spread to multiple countries, including the United States and all of the primary markets where we conduct business. On March 10, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the U.S. government-imposed travel restrictions on travel between the United States and Europe for a 30-day period. Further, on March 13, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 pandemic a national emergency, invoking powers under the Stafford Act, the legislation that directs federal emergency disaster response. Almost all U.S. states and many local jurisdictions have issued at various times, and others in the future may issue, “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines, executive orders and similar government orders, restrictions, and recommendations for their residents to control the spread of COVID-19. Such orders, restrictions and recommendations, and the perception that additional orders, restrictions or recommendations could occur, have resulted in widespread closures of businesses not deemed “essential,” work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions and cancellation of events, as well as record declines in stock prices, among other effects. While certain jurisdictions have begun easing restrictions as the outbreak has slowed in such jurisdictions, we cannot be certain that other jurisdictions will do so. Furthermore, some jurisdictions have experienced a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, which has prompted governments to reinstate previously scaled back restrictions. If other jurisdictions experience a resurgence in COVID-19 cases, they may also prolong restrictions that could negatively affect our business. We continue to monitor our operations and government mandates and may elect or be required to temporarily close our offices or Company showrooms to protect our employees, and limit our access to customers and limit customer use of our products as they are required to prioritize resources to address the public healthcare needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The disruptions to our activities and operations may negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition. There is a risk that government actions, or lack thereof, will not be effective at containing COVID-19, and that government actions or inactions, including the orders and restrictions described above and premature lessening of those restrictions, that are intended to contain the spread of COVID-19 while also minimizing harm to the economy, will have a devastating negative impact on the world economy at large, in which case the risks to our sales, operating results and financial condition described herein would be elevated significantly.
The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on our business may be difficult to assess or predict. The widespread pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result for an extended period, in significant disruption of global financial markets, and may restrict our ability to access capital, which would negatively affect our liquidity. While we have been able to reverse some previous actions undertaken, such as, among others, temporarily deferring capital expenditures, furloughing certain employees, and temporarily deferring compensation for our senior executives, we may be required to take such actions again, or take additional actions, if there is a resurgence of COVID-19 cases or reinstatement of government restrictions. As a result of such actions or restrictions, we may be unable to complete capital expenditure projects or investments in the future, which would limit our ability to grow our business, and our results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
already materialized.
39

Further, quarantines or government reaction or shutdowns for COVID-19 could disrupt our supply chain. Travel and import restrictions may also disrupt our ability to manufacture or distribute our products. Any import or export or other cargo restrictions related to our products or the raw materials used to manufacture our products would restrict our ability to manufacture and ship products and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our key personnel and other employees could also be affected by COVID-19, potentially reducing their availability. In addition, the government responses to COVID-19 or the procedures we take to mitigate its effect on our workforce could reduce the efficiency of our operations or prove insufficient to mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business. We may delay or reduce certain capital spending and related projects until the travel and logistical impacts of COVID-19 are lifted, which could delay the completion of such projects.
Even after initial quarantines and other government restrictions are scaled back, there is risk that we will be unable to continue normal production and operations, due to, among other things, disruptions and delays in our supply chain, reduced demand in our wholesale channel, government relief programs that enable production workers to remain out of the workforce, and difficulties in ramping up our own operations. We may also experience disputes with our suppliers and/or customers as a result of such difficulties. Further, there may be subsequent outbreaks of COVID-19 that could disrupt our operations. In addition, as employees return to work, we may face claims by such employees or regulatory authorities that we have not provided adequate protection to our employees with respect to the spread of COVID-19 at our facilities.
The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects have harmed our business, financial condition and results of operations in the near term and could have a continuing material impact on our operations, sales and ability to continue as a going concern. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this ‘‘Risk Factors’’ section, such as those relating to our high level of indebtedness, our need to generate sufficient cash flows to service our indebtedness and our ability to comply with the covenants contained in the agreements that govern our indebtedness.
Customer demand for and our ability to sell and market our products, particularly within our wholesale business, has been and may continue to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant uncertainty in our business, slowed our anticipated wholesale partner and showroom plans and resulted in a contraction of our wholesale business due to temporary shutdowns of non-essential businesses, reduced demand for physical retail locations, and shelter-at-home directives in most U.S. states. The future impact to our wholesale partners and consumer demand from the COVID-19 pandemic or a future health epidemic or other outbreak occurring in other locations, particularly in North America, is unknown. If we fail to anticipate changes in demand or consumer behavior resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic it could adversely affect our business or operating results.
If sales in our channels decline, including as a result of stay-at-home orders or temporary closures of our wholesale partners’ stores, our business may be adversely affected. Moreover, we may be impacted by difficulties experienced by our wholesale partners as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including disruptions in their supply chains, their liquidity challenges and their ability to keep open or reopen retail locations. In addition, while in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 we experienced an increase in demand for our products through our DTC channel, there can be no guarantee that sales through our DTC channel will continue to increase or will not decline.
We may not be eligible to participate in some of the relief programs provided under the recently adopted Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act or other government programs and even if we are eligible we may not realize any material benefits from participating in such programs.
On March 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed the Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act into law. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. We continue to evaluate the applicability of the CARES Act to the Company, and the potential impacts on our business and are actively taking advantage of applicable programs.
40
While we may determine to apply for programs available under the CARES Act, there is no guarantee that we will meet any eligibility requirements to participate in such programs or, even if we are able to participate, that such programs will provide meaningful benefit to our business.
In addition to the CARES Act in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. government and state/local governments may offer additional programs intended to assist employers. We may fail to qualify for or take advantage of such COVID-19 relief programs, which may have a negative impact on our business. In the event we obtain financing through a government COVID-19 stimulus program, such financing may impose additional restrictions on our business and how those funds are used, such as bringing employees back from furlough even if production levels remain reduced, restrictions on the payment of distributions or dividends and limits on executive pay that could adversely affect our ability to recruit and retain qualified key employees.
~~The results of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s antidumping investigation could have a negative impact on our planned growth and future results of operations.~~
The U.S. Department of Commerce (the “Department”) previously opened an antidumping investigation into whether mattresses imported from China are being sold into the United States at below fair market value. The investigation results from a petition filed by U.S. mattress manufacturers claiming that in recent years Chinese exporters have unfairly made large gains in market share by undercutting prices. On May 29, 2019, the Department made a preliminary determination to impose import duties on Chinese exporters. On October 18, 2019, the Department made its final determination imposing import duties on exporters of Chinese mattresses. The U.S. International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) made its final injury determination on December 9, 2019. On December 16, 2019, the Department issued an antidumping duty order directing the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price, or constructed export price, of the subject merchandise for all relevant entries of mattresses from China. However, if the antidumping duties do not result in the prevention of dumping of underpriced Chinese mattresses into the U.S. market, or if the import duties enacted by the Department or the antidumping order issued by the ITC are removed, rescinded, or modified, we could experience or continue to experience a negative impact on our planned growth and the future results of operations.
In addition, in March 2020 several U.S. mattress manufacturers and two labor unions announced that they filed seven antidumping duty petitions and one countervailing duty petition with the Department charging that unfairly traded imports of finished mattresses from eight countries are causing material injury to the U.S. mattress industry. In April 2020 the Department opened an investigation into the petitions. If the Department fails to impose antidumping duties on the named exporting countries, we could experience continued negative impact on our planned growth and future results of operations.
~~We may experience significant fluctuations in our operating results and growth rate, which could adversely affect our performance and financial results.~~
Our revenue growth may not be sustainable, and our percentage growth rates may decrease. Our revenue and operating profit growth depend on the continued growth of demand for our products, and our business is affected by general economic and business conditions worldwide. Our business, our employees and our partners may also be negatively affected by political or social unrest including potential reputational damage, disruption of our physical facilities or those of our wholesale partners, and boycotts by employees or boycotts against us, our suppliers, our wholesale partners and our advertising partners. A softening of demand, whether caused by changes in customer confidence or preferences or a weakening of the U.S. or global economies, may result in decreased revenue or growth.
In addition, we rely on estimates and forecasts of our expenses and revenues to provide guidance and inform our business strategies, and some of our past estimates and forecasts have not been accurate. The rapidly evolving nature of our business makes forecasting operating results difficult. If we fail to accurately forecast our expenses and revenues, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may suffer, and the value of our business may decline. If our estimates and forecasts prove incorrect, we may not be able to adjust our operations quickly enough to respond to lower than expected sales or higher than expected expenses.
41
~~Our sales and operating results will also fluctuate for many other reasons, including due to risks described elsewhere in this section and the following:~~
● ~~our ability to attract new customers and the cost of acquiring new customers;~~
● ~~our ability and the time required to develop new Mattress Max machines, develop new production lines, scale production capacity and appropriately train staff;~~
● ~~the success of our wholesale and our Company showroom expansion efforts;~~
● ~~our ability to have enough production capacity to meet customer demand;~~
● ~~our ability to effectively manage increasing sales and marketing expenses;~~
● ~~our access to sufficient capital resources and liquidity to fund the growth of our business;~~
● ~~competition from the sublicensees of intellectual property licensed back to EdiZONE;~~
● ~~our ability to offer products on favorable terms, manage inventory, fulfill orders and manage product returns;~~
● ~~the introduction of competitive products, services, price decreases, discounts, or improvements;~~
● ~~timing, effectiveness, and costs of expansion and upgrades of our systems and infrastructure;~~
● ~~the success of our geographic and product line expansions, including but not limited to power requirements, labor needs, and ease of product distribution;~~
● ~~the success of hiring, expeditiously training, and retaining engaged labor locally and worldwide;~~
● ~~our ability to secure and retain superior global partners for specialized delivery services;~~
● ~~the extent to which we use debt or equity financing, and the terms of any such financing for, our current operations and future growth;~~
● the outcomes of legal proceedings, claims, or governmental investigations or rulings, which may include significant monetary damages or injunctive relief and could have a material adverse impact on our operating results;
● ~~the ability to obtain patent and other intellectual property rights of exclusive use, and the enforceability and validity of our intellectual property rights;~~
● ~~our ability to accommodate variations in the mix of products we sell;~~
● ~~variations in our level of product returns, as well as our methods of collecting product returns or exchanges;~~
● ~~the extent to which we offer free shipping;~~
● ~~the extent to which we invest in technology and content, manufacturing, fulfillment, and other expense categories;~~
● ~~increases in the prices of materials used in the manufacturing of our products or the costs to produce our products, including but not limited to new or unanticipated tariffs;~~
● ~~our ability to anticipate and prepare for disruptions to manufacturing;~~
● ~~the extent to which operators of the networks between our customers and our websites successfully charge fees to grant our customers unimpaired and unconstrained access to our online services;~~
42
● ~~our ability to collect amounts owed to us when they become due;~~
● ~~the extent to which our internal network or website is affected by denial of service attacks, malicious unauthorized access, outages, and similar events;~~
● ~~the extent to which our internal network is affected by spyware, viruses, phishing and other spam emails, intrusions, data theft, downtime, and similar events;~~
● ~~our ability to manage the expenses associated with multiple facilities;~~
● ~~our ability to secure attractive real estate locations for expansion with sustainable cost structures; and~~
● ~~our ability to protect inventory assets from internal and external theft or damage.~~
~~The growth of our business places significant strain on our resources and if we are unable to manage our growth, we may not have profitable operations or sufficient capital resources.~~
We are rapidly and significantly expanding our operations, including expanding our workforce, increasing our product offerings and scaling our infrastructure to support expansion of our manufacturing capacity, our wholesale channel expansion and the opening of our Company showrooms. Our planned growth includes increasing our manufacturing capacity, developing and introducing new products and developing new and broader distribution channels, including wholesale and Company showrooms, and extending our global reach to other countries. This expansion increases the complexity of our business and places significant strain on our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, financial resources, and internal financial control and reporting functions.
Our continued success depends, in part, upon our ability to manage and expand our operations and facilities and production capacity in the face of continued growth. The growth in our operations has placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our management and operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not manage our growth effectively, the quality of our products and fulfillment capabilities may suffer which could adversely affect our operating results. Our revenue growth may not be sustainable, and our percentage growth rates may decrease. If we are unable to satisfy our liquidity and capital resource requirements, we may have to scale back, postpone or discontinue our growth strategies, which could result in slower growth or no growth, and we may run the risk of losing key suppliers, we may not be able to timely satisfy customer orders, and we may not be able to retain all of our employees. In addition, we may be forced to restructure our obligations to creditors or pursue work-out options.
Our growth depends in part on our ability to manage the opening and operating of new production facilities and our Company showrooms which will require our entering into leases and other obligations while the success of expanding operations geographically and opening additional Company showrooms remains unproven. To be successful, we will need to obtain or develop retail expertise and we will need to hire new employees in states that may have employment laws that could increase our expenses. In general, operating new production facilities and opening our Company showrooms in new locations exposes us to laws in other states that may not be as employer-friendly as those in which we currently operate, and may expose us to new liabilities. If we are not able to successfully manage the process of expanding operations geographically, opening our Company showrooms and maintaining operations in an expanding number of facilities and Company showrooms, we may have to close Company showrooms and incur sunk costs and continuing obligations that could put a strain upon our resources, damage our brand and reputation and limit our growth.
To manage our growth effectively, we will need to continue to implement operational, financial and management controls and reporting systems and procedures and improve the systems and procedures that are currently in place. There is no assurance that we will be able to fulfill our staffing requirements for our business, successfully train and assimilate new employees, or expand our management base and enhance our operating and financial systems. Failure to achieve any of these goals will prevent us from managing our growth in an effective manner and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, our revenue and operating profit growth depends on the continued growth of demand for the products offered by us, and our business is affected by general economic and business conditions worldwide. A softening of demand, whether caused by changes in customer preferences or a weakening of the U.S. or global economies, may result in decreased revenue or growth. Further, we may not be able to accurately forecast our growth rate. We base our expense levels and investment plans on sales estimates. A significant portion of our expenses and investments is fixed, and we may not be able to adjust our spending quickly enough if our sales are less than expected.
43
When rolling out our new mattress lines through our direct-to-consumer sales channel, we identified a need for internal controls to avoid delays in the timely delivery of our new mattress products and to improve the customer’s experience. Also, we have experienced rapid growth in our employee base, and the need to implement controls and procedures for improving employee training and retention. Competition for employees where our production facilities are located also has increased the costs for employee retention. We have implemented improved controls and procedures in an environment of continuous change but our use of resources may not be as effective as intended or we may need to apply more resources than expected to continue to make changes to improve our employee retention and effectiveness and the quality of our products and services over time. If we are unable to make continuous improvement, achieve greater efficiencies in our operating expenses and improve our products and services, our business could be adversely affected.
~~We may need additional capital to execute our business plan and fund operations and may not be able to obtain such capital on acceptable terms or at all.~~
In connection with the development and expansion of our business, we expect to incur significant capital and operational expenses. We believe that we can increase our sales and net income by implementing a growth strategy that focuses on (i) increasing our manufacturing capacity, including by establishing additional manufacturing locations; (ii) increasing our direct-to-consumer sales; (iii) expanding our wholesale distribution channel; (iv) opening our Company showrooms; (v) expanding our global sales; (vi) engaging global partners to improve distribution efficiencies and cost savings; and (vii) product assortment and category expansion.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, together with other available sources of liquidity, including the additional cash we received and may have further access to under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated February 26, 2019 (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) by and among Purple LLC, Coliseum Capital Partners, L.P. (“CCP”), Blackwell Partners LLC – Series A (“Blackwell”), and Coliseum Co-Invest Debt Fund, L.P. (“CDF” and together with CCP and Blackwell, the “Lenders”), will be sufficient to fund anticipated operating expenses, growth initiatives and our other anticipated liquidity needs for the next twelve months, based on our current operating conditions. Our ability to obtain other capital resources and sources of liquidity may not be sufficient to support future growth strategies. If we are unable to satisfy our liquidity and capital resource requirements, we may have to scale back, postpone or discontinue our growth strategies, which could result in slower growth or no growth, and we may run the risk of losing key suppliers, we may not be able to timely satisfy customer orders, and we may not be able to retain all of our employees. In addition, we may be forced to restructure our obligations to creditors, pursue work-out options or other protective measures.
Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms or at all is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including approval from the Lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Adequate financing may not be available or, if available, may only be available on unfavorable terms. The restrictive covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may make it difficult to obtain additional capital on terms that are favorable to us, and the Lenders may not agree to lend us additional funds. There is no assurance we will obtain the capital we require. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to fund our future operations or growth strategies. In addition, future equity or debt financings, including under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, may require us to also issue warrants or other equity securities that are likely to be dilutive to our existing stockholders. If we make additional borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we will be required to issue additional warrants to the Lenders on the same terms as the Incremental Loan Warrants. Newly issued securities may include preferences or superior voting rights or, as described above, may be combined with the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which each may have additional dilutive effects. Furthermore, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. If we cannot raise additional funds on favorable terms or at all, we may not be able to carry out all or parts of our long-term growth strategy, maintain our growth and competitiveness or continue in business.
44
We have engaged in significant related-party transactions with affiliates and owners that may give rise to conflicts of interest, result in losses to the Company or otherwise adversely affect our operations and the value of our
We have engaged in numerous related-party transactions involving controlling persons and officers of the Company, as well as with other entities affiliated with controlling persons. Several of these transactions were entered into prior to the Business Combination. For example, since 2010, we have leased our facilities in Alpine, Utah from TNT Holdings, which is owned by Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce. As we grow, and our needs change, we may need to negotiate a termination or modification of this lease, and we have recently amended this lease to shift responsibility from TNT Holdings to the Company for arranging certain types of insurance. We have leased a new facility in Lehi, Utah and moved our headquarters into that building during the first quarter 2020. The Company continues to lease the Alpine facility that was formerly the Company headquarters, for use in production, research and development and video production. We also may at some time purchase this Alpine facility from TNT Holdings. Tony and Terry Pearce, either personally or through one or more of their other entities, also have tangible property located in this Alpine facility that has not been clearly identified and separated from our property. Although we expected this tangible property to be either removed or identified and separated in 2019, this has not yet occurred. Tony and Terry Pearce pay no rent or other compensation to us to store such property in our leased facility. While there is currently no dispute over the lease, and we do not anticipate a dispute, there could arise in the future a dispute between the Company and Tony and Terry Pearce over this lease, or ownership of the property located at this facility.
Prior to the Business Combination, we also entered into an Amended and Restated Confidential Assignment and License Back Agreement with EdiZONE, an entity beneficially owned and controlled by Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce through their ownership of TNT Holdings, pursuant to which EdiZONE transferred tangible and intellectual property to us and we licensed back to EdiZONE certain intellectual property previously licensed by EdiZONE to third parties prior to the Business Combination in order to enable EdiZONE to continue to meet certain pre-existing license obligations to those third parties. EdiZONE and the Pearces have agreed to not modify or extend these third-party licenses and to not enter new third-party licenses. As these third-party license obligations end all rights under the license revert to the Company. These third parties include direct competitors to us that at the time of the Business Combination were not selling products through retail channels in which we were selling our products. One of these third parties is now a domestic competitor of ours, as it now sells mattresses through some of the same retailers through which we also sell our products. This competitor’s sales revenues have been increasing, resulting in increasing royalties paid to EdiZONE from this licensee. Another third-party licensee may make it difficult for us to expand into certain geographic regions, such as the European Union. Casey McGarvey, our Chief Legal Officer, is also entitled to receive a small percent of such royalties from EdiZONE related to these third-party licenses, in accordance with a small investment made in EdiZONE years before the Business Combination. While the current license back to EdiZONE, as amended following the Business Combination, is much narrower than the license that existed at the time of the Business Combination, these third-party licenses, including licenses by EdiZONE to our competitors, may lead to conflicts of interest between us and our insiders receiving royalties. At the time this agreement with EdiZONE was first entered into, Purple LLC had only Tony and Terry Pearce as directors. Subsequent to the Business Combination, the license to EdiZONE was amended to broaden our rights and narrow EdiZONE’s rights with the approval of our independent directors.
Prior to the Business Combination, we also entered into a Shared Services Agreement with other entities controlled by Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce, including EdiZONE, which covered the provision of services to these entities by our employees. The Shared Services Agreement was terminated by us effective July 24, 2019. No legal or accounting services were provided by Purple LLC during 2019 prior to this termination.
Prior to the Business Combination, InnoHold, an entity owned by Terry and Tony Pearce and our controlling stockholder, also granted equity incentive awards in Purple LLC to certain key employees at that time. As a result of the structure of those awards being granted through a separate entity, the equity incentives were required, because of the structure of the Business Combination, to be exchanged for ownership units in InnoHold, to avoid those equity interests becoming of no value to the participants. Those participants’ ownership interests had certain restrictions, including vesting requirements. These equity incentives granted to key employees prior to the Business Combination are forfeited to the extent the grant to an employee is not yet fully vested at the time that such employee’s employment is terminated. Before and for a period of time since the Business Combination, all forfeitures occurring from departing employees have inured to the benefit of only the owners of InnoHold, and not all of our stockholders. This means that the forfeited equity did not increase our currently approved equity incentive pool. Because the forfeited equity resulting from these departures prior to this distribution was held at InnoHold, that forfeited equity did not replenish our equity incentive pool and could not be used for equity grants to those who have replaced and will replace these employees or for other purposes essential to the business. During 2019, to avoid future forfeitures from inuring only to the benefit of InnoHold’s owners, InnoHold distributed to the incentive participants their pro rata share of InnoHold’s ownership of Class B Stock in Purple Inc. and Class B Units in Purple LLC, after which any forfeitures would inure to the benefit of all of our stockholders. InnoHold distributed additional paired shares of Class B Stock in Purple Inc. and Class B Units in Purple LLC which also will be subject to the same vesting requirements and result in forfeitures inuring to the benefit of all shareholders. Our current equity incentive pool, as approved by the stockholders prior to the Business Combination in the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, did not account for the departure, before this distribution by InnoHold, of such key employees who had existing equity grants through InnoHold, and there is a risk that we will have to seek approval from the Board and stockholders to refresh the equity incentive pool earlier than anticipated at the time of the Business Combination because of the unanticipated need to use shares from the existing pool to hire and retain other key employees needed to achieve the Company’s growth objectives. If the equity pool is not refreshed, there is a risk that we may not be able to hire and retain such key employees. If the equity pool is refreshed with authorized shares of the Company that are issued in accordance with our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, our stockholders will be diluted. Also, this distribution by InnoHold to the equity incentive participants has caused us to incur administrative expenses related to the distributions, the management of the differing vesting schedules and compliance with their rights under the distribution agreements. In addition, the calculations of the distributive share and related income tax withholdings with respect to holders of InnoHold’s Class B Units, as well as the processes by which such distributions and withholdings are made, are highly complex. As a result, there is a risk that the recipients of such distributions or other third parties may claim that we have miscalculated the distribution or income tax withholding amounts or failed to timely pay the taxes. The cost of responding to such claims, including but not limited to the diversion of management’s attention from our operations and defense or settlement costs, could negatively impact our operations and financial results.

In connection with the Business Combination, Purple LLC also entered into a Credit Agreement with certain lenders which was guaranteed by Purple Inc. The lenders also are stockholders and warrant holders of the Company and appointed one director to serve on our Board, Adam Gray. Further, on February 26, 2019, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement between Purple LLC and the Lenders thereto, and each of the related documents, including the issuance of additional warrants to the Lenders, was closed and an incremental loan was funded. In connection with the funding of the incremental loan, we issued to the lenders warrants to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock.
On March 27, 2020, this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement was amended to allow Purple LLC at its election a 5% paid-in-kind interest deferral for the first two quarters of 2020. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a negative covenant was removed so that there would not be an event of default if Lenders acquired 25% or more ownership of the Company. The exercise of rights under this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by the Lenders may create conflicts of interest between us and Mr. Gray. Should additional credit be granted under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we will be required to issue to the Lenders additional incremental warrants on similar terms which could cause additional dilution of all shareholders’ interests.
~~Our future growth and profitability depend, in part, upon our ability to achieve and maintain sufficient production capacity to meet customer demands.~~
~~We manufacture our mattresses using our proprietary and patented Mattress Max~~^™ ~~machinery to make our Hyper-Elastic Polymer~~^® cushioning material. Because of the unique features of our Mattress Max machines, new machines are not readily available and must be constructed. We also have experienced inefficiencies in sourcing of materials and production of finished products. We have taken steps to improve our processes and capabilities, but if we are unable to maintain our improvements and continue our improvement initiatives to increase efficiencies or if we are unable to promptly and efficiently open our new Georgia manufacturing facility, we may not be able to keep up with demand which would harm our business. If we are unable to construct new Mattress Max machines and implement them into our production process in a timely manner, if our existing Mattress Max machines are unable to function at the desired capacity, or if we are unable to develop replacements for the existing Mattress Max machines, our production capacity may be constrained and our ability to respond to customer demand may be adversely impacted. We manufacture mattresses and other products using components provided by third-party suppliers. If those third-party suppliers are unable to provide us with such components or if our assembly capacity is insufficient our ability to respond to customer demand may be adversely impacted. This would negatively impact our ability to grow our business and achieve profitability.

Since that date, there have been approximately one-thousand aftershocks. Though no damage occurred at either manufacturing plant from the 5.7 earthquake or its aftershocks, continued or increased earthquake activity in the area could disrupt manufacturing and other operating activities, which could adversely affect our business.

~~A number~~We recently experienced an incident involving our manufacturing equipment that resulted in the death of one of our ~~significant competitors offer products that compete directly~~employees. As a result, we ceased using such equipment while we evaluated the safety of our manufacturing equipment and identified and implemented safety improvements. In addition, once safety improvements were implemented and manufacturing resumed, we experienced unanticipated mechanical and maintenance issues while ramping up to normal production.

In addition, retailers outside~~members of the U.S. have integrated vertically in the furniture and bedding industries, and it is possible that retailers may acquire other retailers or may seek to vertically integrate in the U.S. by acquiring a mattress manufacturer.
Many of our current and potential competitors may have substantially greater financial support, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition, mature distribution methods, and more established relationships in the industry than we do and sell products through broader and more established distribution channels. These competitors, or new entrants into the market, may compete aggressively and gain market share with existing or new products, and may pursue or expand their presence in the Comfort Industry. We cannot be sure we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully in the future. We have limited ability to anticipate the timing and scale of new product introductions, advertising campaigns or new pricing strategies by our competitors, which could inhibit our ability to retain or increase market share, or to maintain our product margins. Our current and potential competitors may secure better terms from vendors, adopt more aggressive pricing, and devote more resources to technology, infrastructure, fulfillment, and marketing.

We will face different market dynamics and competition as we develop new products to expand our presence in our target markets. In some markets, our future competitors may have greater brand recognition and broader distribution than we currently enjoy. We may not be as successful as our competitors in generating revenues in those markets due to the lack of recognition of our brands, lack of customer acceptance, lack of product quality history and other factors. As a result, any new expansion efforts could be costlier and less profitable than our efforts in our existing markets. If we are not as successful as our competitors are in our target markets, our sales could decline, our margins could be impacted negatively and we could lose market share, any of which could materially harm our business.
If we are unable to effectively compete with other manufacturers and retailers of mattresses, pillows and cushions, our sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely impacted.

We may be subject to personal injury, property damage and product liability claims for the products that we sell or related to the Company showrooms we will operate. Any personal injury, property damage or product liability claim made against us, whether or not it has merit, could be time consuming and costly to defend, resulting in adverse publicity, or damage to our reputation, and have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, any negative publicity involving our vendors, employees, labor contractors, delivery contractors and other parties who are not within our control could negatively impact us.

~~Further, the products we sell are subject to regulation by the~~The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) and ~~similar state~~other jurisdictions have adopted rules relating to fire retardancy standards for the mattress industry.

We previously voluntarily reported to the CPSC concerning a potential defect in an accessory product supplied to us by third parties. After its review, CPSC staff closed the case with no action by the Commission. We are providing repair parts to customers with affected products as a warranty matter and are continuing to monitor the issue.
We anticipate at this time 40% of our customers who purchased this product will desire to receive our improvement which we will ship to them at no cost. Since we will incur the cost of this improvement, if our estimate is too low, we may incur additional expenses. Contacting customers with this improvement also may result in an increase in warranty claims or claims of injury or damage prior to receiving the improvement that has not yet been communicated to us. If a customer is harmed by a product failure there also could be litigation and expenses related to a claim of personal injury, whichoutcomes could harm our ~~brand and~~business, reputation, ~~and negatively affect our operating results.~~
We maintain insurance against some forms of personal injury, property damage and product liability claims, but such coverage may not be adequate for liabilities actually incurred. A successful claim brought against us in excess of available insurance coverage, or any claim or product recall that results in significant adverse publicity against us, may have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.

~~Future sales~~The CPSC adopted new flammability standards and related regulations which became effective nationwide in July 2007 for mattresses and mattress and foundation sets. Compliance with these requirements has resulted in higher materials and manufacturing costs for our products and has required modifications to our information systems and business operations, further increasing our costs and negatively impacting our capacity. Some states and the U.S. Congress continue to consider fire retardancy regulations that may be different from or more stringent than the CPSC standard. Adoption of multi-layered regulatory regimes, particularly if they conflict with each other, could increase our costs, alter our manufacturing processes and impair the performance of our ~~Class A Stock by~~products which may have an adverse effect on our ~~existing stockholders~~business.
Also, California recently enacted laws effective in 2021 requiring mattress retailers delivering mattresses via common carrier in California to offer to pick up their customers’ old mattresses at no cost to the customer. Additionally, California, Rhode Island and Connecticut have all enacted laws requiring the recycling of mattresses discarded in their states. State and local bedding industry regulations vary among the states in which we operate but generally impose requirements as to the proper labeling of bedding merchandise, restrictions regarding the identification of merchandise as “new” or otherwise, controls as to hygiene and other aspects of product handling, disposal, sales, resales and penalties for violations. We or our suppliers may ~~cause our stock price~~be required to ~~fall.~~
~~The market price of our Class A Stock could decline as a result of sales by our existing stockholders in~~incur significant expense to the ~~market, or the perception~~extent that these ~~sales~~regulations change and require new and different compliance measures.
New legislation aimed at improving the fire retardancy of mattresses, regulating the handling of mattresses in connection with preventing or controlling the spread of bed bugs could ~~occur. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate. In addition, subsequent public issuances~~be passed, or requiring the collection or recycling of ~~our stock would cause the interest of each current Purple Inc. stockholder to be diluted.~~
The founders, Tony and Terry Pearce, through InnoHold control a majority of the shares of Class B Stock of the Company which constitutes approximately 31% of all ownership interests in the Company at June 30, 2020. The founders already have exchanged 23.9 million of their Class B Stock for Class A Stock and sold them. Also, at this time, CCP and Blackwell own a substantial percentage of the shares of Class A Stock of the Company and warrants for additional Class A Stock. Any of these shareholders may choose to sell shares of common stock. The founders particularly may decide to liquidate additional large portions of their interests. The amount of shares they are able to sell, if sold in large blocks or relatively close to each other in time,discarded mattresses, could result in ~~downward pressure on the price of our Class A Stock.~~
~~Purple LLC’s level of indebtedness could adversely affect Purple LLC’s and our ability to meet its obligations under its indebtedness, react to changes~~product recalls or in a significant increase in the ~~economy or its industry and to raise additional capital to fund operations.~~
Ascost of June 30, 2020, Purple LLC had total debt of $42.1 million outstanding, comprised of $41.6 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and $0.5 million in capital lease obligations. Under the original Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we were allowed to defer 7% of the 12% quarterly interest payments and add those deferred payments in the outstanding debt balance. In March 2020, Purple LLC entered into the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”). The purpose of this Amendment is to allow Purple LLC to defer the remaining 5% of interest for the quarterly payments due March 31 and June 30, 2020 in an effort to reduce cash disbursements during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Pursuant to the Amendment, we were allowed to defer and capitalize the full amount of the interest payments due on March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020. The Amendment increased the total debt outstanding by approximately $1.1 million.
~~Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences to stockholders. For example, it could:~~
● ~~make it more difficult to satisfy our obligations with respect to our indebtedness, resulting in possible defaults on, and acceleration of, such indebtedness;~~
● ~~increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;~~
48
● require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements or to carry out other aspects of its business;
● ~~limit our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate requirements or to carry out other aspects of our business;~~
● ~~limit our ability to make material acquisitions or take advantage of business opportunities that may arise; and~~
● ~~place us at a potential competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt.~~
~~We may also incur future debt obligations that might subject us to additional restrictive covenants that could affect~~operating our ~~financial and operational flexibility.~~
Future operating flexibility is limited in significant respects by the restrictive covenants in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and we may be unable to comply with all covenants in the future.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement imposes restrictions that could impede Purple LLC’s and the Company’s ability to enter into certain corporate transactions, as well as increases our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, by limiting our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in our business and industry. These restrictions will limit our ability to, among other things:
● ~~make capital expenditures in excess of $20 million;~~
● ~~incur capital lease obligations in excess of $10 million;~~
● ~~enter into future asset-based loans in excess of $10 million;~~
● ~~guarantee additional debt;~~
● ~~pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire any capital stock;~~
● ~~make certain payments, dividends, distributions or investments; and~~
● ~~merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of Purple LLC’s assets, other than with respect to the Business Combination.~~
business. In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain negative covenants that restrict the incurrence of indebtedness unless certain incurrence-based financial covenant requirements are met. The restrictions may prevent Purple LLC and the Company from taking actions that we believe would be in the best interests of the business and may make it difficult for us to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with companies that are not similarly restricted. Further, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides that Tony Pearce, Terry Pearce, and InnoHold, together, no longer controlling at least 25% of the outstanding voting power of the Company will result in an event of default. In addition, if we determine that we need to take any action that is restricted under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we will need to first obtain a waiver from the Lenders. Obtaining such waivers, if needed, may impose additional costs on the Company or we may be unable to obtain such waivers. Purple LLC’s abilityfailure to comply with these ~~restrictive covenants in future periods will largely depend on its ability to successfully implement its overall business strategy. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could~~various regulations may result in ~~a default, which~~penalties, the inability to conduct business as previously conducted or at all, or adverse publicity, among other things. Adoption of multi-layered regulatory regimes, particularly if they conflict with each other, could ~~result in~~increase our costs, alter our manufacturing processes and impair the acceleration of Purple LLC’s debt. In the event of an acceleration of Purple LLC’s debt, Purple LLC could be forced to apply all available cash flows to repay such debt, which would reduce or eliminate distributions to us, which could also force us into bankruptcy or liquidation.
~~Certain outstanding warrants could be exercised and result in dilution of all shareholders without any concurrent payment or other benefit to the Company.~~
In connection with the closing of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we issued to the Lenders, in a private placement, warrants (the “Incremental Loan Warrants”) to purchase 2.6 million sharesperformance of our Class A Stock. The Incremental Loan Warrants are initially exercisable at a price of $5.74 per share, subject to certain adjustments. In May 2020 Tony Pearce and Terry Pearce, individually or together, no longer own at least 50% of the voting securities of the Company, and pursuant to the terms of the warrant agreement, the exercise price was reduced to $0. As a result, the Incremental Loan Warrantsproducts which may be exercised without any further consideration paid to us, resulting in further dilution to existing shareholders. In addition, if we choose to make additional borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we will be required to issue to the Lenders additional warrants on the same terms as the Incremental Loan Warrants.
Certain outstanding warrants held by former members of Global Partner Sponsor, LLC (the sponsor for Global Partner Acquisition Corp., our predecessor) and CCP and its affiliates may be exercised on a cashless basis, without any further consideration paid to us. In addition, in the event that the last sales price of our common stock reported has been at least $24.00 per share on each of twenty trading days within a thirty (30) trading-day period, we may elect to redeem our outstanding warrants (other than those held by former members of Global Partner Sponsor, LLC and certain warrants held by CCP and its affiliates) at a redemption price of $0.01 per warrant, or we may, alternatively, require such warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis. If we require such warrants to be exercised on a cashless basis, we will be required to issue shares of our Class A Common Stock without any further consideration being paid to us, which would result in further dilution to existing shareholders.

Although we may be entitled to tax benefits relating to additional tax depreciation or amortization deductions as a result of the tax basis step-up we receive in connection with the exchanges of Class B Units into our Class A Stock and related transactions, we will be required to pay InnoHold 80% of these tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement.
InnoHold and other owners of Class B Units and shares of Class B Stock may, subject to certain conditions and transfer restrictions, exchange their Class B Units and shares of Class B Stock for shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. The deemed exchanges in the Business Combination and any exchanges pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, are expected to result in increases in our allocable share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Purple LLC. These increases in tax basis may increase (for tax purposes) depreciation and amortization deductions and therefore reduce the amount of income or franchise tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future, although the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any applicable foreign, state or local tax authority may challenge all or part of that tax basis increase, and a court could sustain such a challenge. In addition to the step up in basis in the initial merger transaction, there have ~~been 26.6 million exchanges of Class B Units and shares of Class B Stock for shares of Class A Stock as of June 30, 2020.~~
In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement, which generally provides for the payment by us to InnoHold of 80% of certain tax benefits, if any, that we realize as a result of these increases in tax basis and of certain other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including income or franchise tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These payment obligations pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement are the obligation of the Company and not of Purple LLC. The actual increase in our allocable share of the Company’s tax basis in its assets, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges, the market price of shares of our Common Stock at the time of the exchange, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and the amount and timing of our income. As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s preliminary estimate of the liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement resulting from the distribution of the cash consideration to InnoHold in connection with the Business Combination and tax basis increases as a result of the step up in basis in the initial merger transaction and exchanges of 26.6 million Paired Securities was approximately $81.5 million. Due to the release of the Company’s valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets to which the Tax Receivable Agreement liability relates, only $78.7 of the $81.5 million has been recorded to date ($0.5 million in 2019 and an incremental $78.2 million through June 30, 2020). The additional $2.8 million is expected to be recorded in the third and fourth quarters of the year ending December 31, 2020. To the extent the Company realizes tax benefits in future years, or in the event of a change in future tax rates, or if payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are required to be accelerated, this liability may exceed the estimated liability.
Because not all of the relevant factors described above are known at this time with respect to the exchanges that have occurred, and none of the relevant factors are known with respect to future exchanges (whether this year or in subsequent years), except as estimated above, we cannot yet with certainty determine the amounts (if any) that would or will be payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, we expect that as a result of the possible size and frequency of the exchanges and the resulting increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Purple LLC, the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on our ~~financial condition. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement~~business. We are ~~not conditioned upon continued ownership of the Company by the holders of units.~~
~~InnoHold will not be required~~also subject to reimburse us for any excess payments that may previously have been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, for example, due to adjustments resulting from examinations by taxing authorities. Rather, excess payments made tovarious health and environmental provisions such holders will be netted against payments otherwise to be made, if any, after the determination of such excess. As a result, in certain circumstances we could make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of our actual income or franchise tax savings, if any, and we may not be able to recoup such excess, which could materially impair our financial condition and adversely affect our liquidity.
~~For illustrative purposes, if all of the 17.5 million Paired Securities outstanding~~ as of June 30, 2020 were exchanged for shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, and the fair market value of the Class A Stock were equal to $26.16 per share (the closing price of a share of our Class A Stock on August 3, 2020), our aggregate liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement would be, including the estimated $81.5 million liability described above, approximately $197.6 million payable in estimated amounts ranging from $4 million to $22 million over a 15-year period. Of the additional approximately $116.1 million amount, approximately $111.5 million relates to the exchange of Paired Securities16 CFR Part 1633 (Standard for the ~~16.8 million shares~~Flammability (Open Flame) of Class A Stock into which the Paired Securities currently held by InnoHold are exchangeable. The foregoing estimate of our aggregate liability is based on certain assumptions, including that there are no changes in relevant tax law, that we are able to fully depreciate or amortize our assets, and that we recognize taxable income sufficient to realize the full benefit of the increased depreciation and amortization of our assets in each of the next 15 tax years. These assumptions may not be accurate with respect to all or any exchanges of Paired Securities for Class A Stock. As a result, the amount and timing of our actual aggregate liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement may differ materially from our estimates depending on a number of factors, including those described above and elsewhere in this report.Mattress Sets).
