Kidpik Corp.

Common Stock

This is a firm commitment initial public offering of shares of common stock of Kidpik Corp.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. It is currently estimated that the initial public offering price per share will be between $$8.00 and $             .$10.00 and the number of shares offered hereby is based upon an assumed offering price of $9.00 per share, the midpoint of such estimated range. We intend to list the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “PIK”. If our common stock is not approved for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, we will not consummate this offering.

Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, our principal stockholder, currently controls approximately 93.7% of the voting power of our capital stock (based on shares of common stock outstanding as of October 29, 2021) and will control approximately 71.9% of the combined voting power of our capital stock upon completion of this offering, assuming an offering size as set forth above, and we are therefore a “controlled company” as defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. We currently intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions provided under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and the phase-in period we are afforded by applicable Nasdaq rules relating to required members of our audit committee.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, as such, may elect to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for future filings. This prospectus complies with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is an emerging growth company.

Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, our principal stockholder, currently controls approximately 93.7% of the voting power of our capital stock and will control approximately [____]% of the combined voting power of our capital stock upon completion of this offering, and we are therefore a “controlled company” as defined under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. We currently intend to rely on the controlled company exemptions provided under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Risk Factors

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of the following risks, together with all other information set forth in this prospectus, including the financial statements and the related notes, before making a decision to buy our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We have a history of losses, and we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability.

We have experienced net losses in each year since our inception. We had a net loss of $2,900,702 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to a net loss of $1,916,919 for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020, an increase in net loss of $983,783. In the years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, we incurred net losses of $4,188,360 and $4,603,314, respectively. We anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial operating expenses in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to attract new and retain existing members and attract new customers, invest to further optimize and drive efficiency in our distribution and fulfillment capabilities, expand our product offerings, and enhance our technology and infrastructure. These efforts may prove more expensive than we anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our net revenue and margins sufficiently to offset these expenses or at all, which may require us to reduce certain expenditures that could be important to maintaining or increasing our net revenue and margins. We incur significant expenses in operating our fulfillment center, including personnel costs, obtaining and storing inventory, and developing our technology. In addition, many of our expenses, including the costs associated with our fulfillment center, are fixed. We also incur significant expenses associated with the production of merchandise and the shipping of such merchandise to our warehouse and to members and customers. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability, and we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.

We may be unable to successfully execute our growth strategy. If we fail to retain our existing subscription members and traditional point-of-purchase e-commerce customers or cost effectively acquire new members and customers or if we fail to achieve profitability, our business would be materially adversely affected.

Our growth strategy, and our ability to grow net revenue and operate profitably, may require additional financing and, together with cost optimization initiatives, will depend largely on our ability to retain existing members (i.e., those persons who have signed up for our subscription services) and customers (i.e., those persons who have not signed up for subscription services, but who purchase our merchandise directly from our website or through other e-commerce sites where we offer items for sale (for example, through Amazon.com)), to cost effectively acquire new members and customers, and to keep members and customers engaged so that they continue to purchase products from us. If we are unable to retain our existing members and customers, cost effectively acquire new members and customers, or keep members and customers engaged, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected. While our revenue increased to $10,988,480 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to $6,441,481 in the comparable period, we cannot assure you that our number of members, or the revenues generated thereby, will further increase in the future. While we have experienced an increase in demand which we believe is due, in part, to the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on consumer behaviors such increased demand may not continue as stay-at-home and other restrictions on consumer behavior, are lifted, as COVID-19 vaccines and boosters continue to be widely available in the United States, or if consumer spending habits are negatively impacted by worsening economic conditions. In addition, if, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we face significant disruptions in our supply chain, are unable to continue to operate our fulfillment center (whether as a result of production holds to implement some of our enhanced sanitation measures as we have done at times or otherwise) or are unable to timely deliver orders to our members and customers, we may not be able to retain our members and customers or attract new members and customers.

We have historically spent significant amounts on advertising and other marketing activities. The majority of our advertisements to date have been on Facebook Ads and Google Ads. Advertising and promotion expenses totaled approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses. For the years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, our marketing expenses were $2.6 million and $2.1 million, representing approximately 15.6% of each year’s net revenue, respectively. We may, however, choose to increase or decrease such spending in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

As we continue to refine our marketing strategy to strategically prioritize customer acquisition channels that we believe will be more successful at attracting customers and members, we may fail to identify channels that accomplish this objective or fail to understand or mitigate continuing and new negative effects of reducing our marketing expenses or of limiting our investment in historical marketing channels. Any of these failures may adversely impact our ability to attract or retain potential members and customers, including by making us less competitive relative to competitors who spend a larger portion of their revenue on marketing.

Our net revenue in any period is essentially a function of our ability to attract and retain members and customers and the frequency and size of the orders purchased or placed by those members and customers. If members and customers do not perceive our product offerings to be of sufficient value and quality, or if we fail to offer new and relevant product offerings, we may not be able to attract or retain members and customers or engage existing members and customers so that they continue to purchase products from us, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We will need additional capital which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all, and this raises questions about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We had accumulated deficits of $30,872,339 and $27,971,637 as of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, respectively. We had a net loss of $2,900,702 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to a net loss of $1,916,919 for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020, an increase in net loss of $983,783. We had a net loss of $4,188,360 and $4,603,314 for the years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, respectively. We believe that the funds raised in this offering will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 36 months. We may also require additional funding in the future to expand or complete acquisitions and anticipate needing further funding after such 36-month period (or earlier if our current estimates prove incorrect). We plan to raise such additional funding through the sale of debt or equity, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, and may, if sold, cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Separately, our founding and majority stockholder, Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, has provided his written intent to provide continued financial support to the Company for at least one year and a day from September 3, 2021, the terms of which funding are expected to be in similar form as to the funding previously provided by Mr. Dabah, provided that Mr. Dabah is under no contractual or other obligation to provide such funding and the ultimate terms of such funding is unknown. Mr. Dabah may, regardless of his written support agreement, determine not to provide us any required funding, or may only make such funding available on unfavorable terms. As such, we may be unable to raise any required funding from Mr. Dabah. If we are unable to access additional capital moving forward, either from Mr. Dabah or otherwise, it may hurt our ability to grow and to generate future revenues, or may force us to seek bankruptcy protection. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The financial statements included herein also include a going concern footnote from our auditors.

The children of our current and future customers and members will likely age out of our product offerings.

We sell our fashion subscription boxes (which we call ‘piks’) for boys and girls, sizes 2T-16. We also sell shoes, from size 7 toddler to size 6 youth, including sneakers, boots, sandals, and dress shoes. Because we do not currently offer sizing above 16 in our clothing lines and/or above 6 youth in our shoes, it is likely that the children of our current members and customers, and future customers and members, will age out of our product offerings. For example, the children of any current members or customers, who fit into the merchandise sizing that we currently offer as of the date of this prospectus, will likely grow too big for such sizing in the future. We believe that a size 16 will fit the average child, ages 11-13; however, each child is different. Because children age/size out of our offerings over time, we are constantly needing to find new members and customers to maintain and expand our revenues.

Our results of operations and future revenues could be materially and adversely affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and future pandemics and diseases.

The continuing spread of COVID-19 globally and, in particular, across the United States could materially and adversely impact our business, causing supply chain or carrier interruptions or delays. During the majority of March and April 2020, we closed our California warehouse due to stay-at-home orders which were issued in the State of California. We resumed shipping on April 17, 2020, following safety protocols and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, which we strictly adhered to. On an aggregate basis we lost about two weeks of potential revenue during this period where we were unable to ship products. For the months of March and April 2020, our new member acquisitions were reduced dramatically. Beginning in early May 2020, and through the month of June 2020, our new member acquisitions grew significantly, most likely due to stay-at-home orders when consumers shifted to shopping online, before leveling off to expected growth numbers. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and could continue to have, a negative impact on economic conditions, which may adversely impact consumer demand for our product offerings, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business will depend on future developments, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the continued timing of widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, the willingness of individuals to become vaccinated, and the efficacy thereof, virus mutations and variants, the length of time COVID-19 related restrictions continue to stay in place or are reinstituted and for economic and operating conditions to return to prior levels, together with resulting consumer behaviors, and numerous other uncertainties, all of which remain uncertain. In addition to COVID-19, our operations and results may be affected by other future pandemics or diseases which have similar impacts as, and/or result in stay-at-home and similar restrictions on customers as, COVID-19 has had and continues to have.

We continue to monitor our operations and government recommendations and we have made modifications to our normal operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which although it has not to date negatively affected, may have a negative effect on our operations and results of operations in the future.

We will require additional capital to fund our existing operations and grow, and our inability to obtain such capital, or to adequately manage our existing capital resources, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

To support our existing operations or any future expansion of our business, including our ability to continue to execute our growth strategy, we must have sufficient capital to continue to make investments and to fund our operations. Although we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash made available by Ezra Dabah, our founding and majority stockholder, Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, together with cash generated from operations, and cash raised in this offering will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 36 months, if we fail to maintain our revenues, adequately manage our available cash and working capital, or sufficiently manage expenses, we may need additional equity or debt financing to provide the funds required to operate our business and we will also need additional capital to fund future expansion of our business. IfAs discussed above, Mr. Dabah has provided his written intent to provide continued financial support to the Company for at least one year and a day from September 3, 2021, the terms of which funding are expected to be in similar form as to the funding previously provided by Mr. Dabah, provided that Mr. Dabah is under no contractual or other obligation to provide such funding and the ultimate terms of such funding is unknown. Mr. Dabah may, regardless of his written support agreement, determine not to provide us any required funding, or may only make such funding available on unfavorable terms. As such, we may be unable to raise any required funding from Mr. Dabah. Notwithstanding the above, if required financing is not available, on favorable terms or at all, we may be unable to operate our business, develop new business or execute on our strategic plan to sustain net revenue growth, in each case at the rate desired or at all, and our operating results would suffer. Our inability to obtain adequate capital resources, whether in the form of equity or debt, to adequately manage our existing capital resources, or to fund our business and strategies would require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our operations or any future expansion of our business, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business, including our costs and supply chain, is subject to risks associated with sourcing, manufacturing and warehousing.

We currently source all of the merchandise we offer from third-party vendors, and as a result we may be subject to price fluctuations or demand disruptions. Our operating results would be negatively impacted by increases in the prices of our merchandise, and we have no guarantees that prices will not rise in the future. In addition, as we expand into new categories and product types, we expect that we may not have strong purchasing power in these new areas, which could lead to higher prices than we have historically seen in our current categories. We may not be able to pass increased prices on to members, which could adversely affect our operating results. Moreover, in the event of a significant disruption in the supply of the fabrics or raw materials used in the manufacture of the merchandise we offer, the vendors that we work with might not be able to locate alternative suppliers of materials of comparable quality at an acceptable price. For example, natural disasters have in the past increased raw material costs, impacting pricing with certain of our vendors, and caused shipping delays for certain of our merchandise. Any delays, interruption, damage to or increased costs in the manufacture of the merchandise we offer could result in higher prices to acquire the merchandise or non-delivery of merchandise altogether, and could adversely affect our operating results.

In addition, we cannot guarantee that merchandise we receive from vendors will be of sufficient quality or free from damage, or that such merchandise will not be damaged during shipping, while stored in our distribution center or when returned by customers. While we take measures to ensure merchandise quality and avoid damage, including evaluating vendor product samples, conducting inventory inspections and inspecting returned product, we cannot control merchandise while it is out of our possession. We may incur additional expenses and our reputation could be harmed if members and potential members believe that our merchandise is not of high quality or may be damaged.

Increased competition presents an ongoing threat to the success of our business.

We expect competition for our services to increase in the future. We compete with other clothing subscription delivery companies, online clothing stores and traditional brick and mortar clothing stores. We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including:

Some of our current competitors have, and potential competitors may have, longer operating histories, larger or more efficient fulfillment infrastructures, greater technical capabilities, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and larger customer bases than we do. In addition, business combinations and consolidation in and across the industries in which we compete could further increase the competition we face and result in competitors with significantly greater resources and customer bases than us. Further, some of our other current or potential competitors may be smaller, less regulated, and have a greater ability to reposition their product offerings than companies that, like us, operate at a larger scale. These factors may allow our competitors to derive greater sales and profits from their existing customer base, acquire members and customers at lower costs, respond more quickly than we can to changes in consumer demand and tastes, or otherwise compete with us effectively, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns and adopt more aggressive pricing policies, which may allow them to build larger customer bases or generate additional sales more effectively than we do.

Furthermore, companies with greater resources or more well-known brand names may attempt to compete with us, and as a result, we may lose current or potential members and customers and may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to support our operations, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow and our results of operations.

If we fail to successfully improve our customer experience, including by continuing to develop new product offerings and enhancing our existing product offerings, our ability to retain existing members and customers and attract new members and customers, may be materially adversely affected.

Our members and customers have a wide variety of options for purchasing clothes, and consumer tastes and preferences may change from time to time, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting restrictions that continue throughout much of the United States and which have limited, and continue to limit to varying degrees, some of these clothing purchasing options for consumers. Our ability to retain existing members and customers, attract new members and customers and increase customer engagement with us will depend in part on our ability to successfully improve our customer experience, including by continuing to create and introduce new product offerings, improving upon and enhancing our existing product offerings and strengthening our members’ interactions with our brand and products. If new or enhanced product offerings are unsuccessful, we may be unable to attract or retain members and customers and our operating results could be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, new or shifting customer demands, tastes or interests, superior competitive offerings or a deterioration in our product offering quality or our ability to bring new or enhanced product offerings to market quickly and efficiently could negatively affect the attractiveness of our products and the economics of our business and require us to make substantial changes to and additional investments in our product offerings or business model.

Our business depends on our brand, and any failure to maintain, protect or enhance our brand, including as a result of events outside our control, could materially adversely affect our business.

We believe that we have developed a strong and trusted brand, and we believe our future success depends on our ability to maintain and grow the value of the “kidpik” brand. Maintaining, promoting and positioning our brand and reputation will depend on, among other factors, the success of our marketing and merchandising efforts and our ability to provide a consistent, high-quality customer experience. Any negative publicity, regardless of its accuracy, could materially adversely affect our business. Brand value is based in large part on perceptions of subjective qualities, and any incident that erodes the loyalty of our members and customers or suppliers, including adverse publicity or a governmental investigation or litigation, could significantly reduce the value of our brand and significantly damage our business.

The value of our brand also depends on effective customer support to provide a high-quality customer experience, which requires significant personnel expense. If not managed properly, this expense could impact our profitability. Failure to manage or train our own or outsourced customer support representatives properly, or our inability to hire sufficient customer support representatives could result in lower-quality customer support and/or increased customer response times, compromising our ability to handle customer complaints effectively.

Changes in consumer tastes and preferences or in consumer spending and other economic or financial market conditions could materially adversely affect our business and our inability to develop and introduce new merchandise offerings in a timely and cost-effective manner may damage our business, financial condition and operating results.

The largest portion of our revenue today comes from the sale of girls’ apparel. In Summer 2020 we expanded our merchandise offering to boys and in Spring of 2021 introduced Toddler for boys and girls in sizes 2T and 3T. We continue to explore additional offerings to serve our existing members and to attract new members. However, any new offerings may not have the same success, or gain traction as quickly, as our current offerings. Our operating results may be materially adversely affected by changes in consumer tastes and preferences. Our future success depends in part on our ability to anticipate the tastes, shopping habits, trends and lifestyle preferences of consumers and to offer products that appeal to consumer tastes and preferences. Consumer tastes and preferences may change from time to time and can be affected by a number of different trends and other factors that are beyond our control. Our competitors may react more efficiently and effectively to these changes than we can. If we fail to anticipate, identify or react to changes and trends, or to introduce new and improved product offerings on a timely basis, we may experience reduced demand for our product offerings, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

In addition, the business of selling clothing products over the internet, and more specifically, selling such products as part of a subscription model, is dynamic and continues to evolve. Our market segment has grown significantly, and this growth may not continue or may decline, including specifically with respect to the subscription model portion of the industry. If members and customers cease to find value in this model or otherwise lose interest in our product offerings or our business model generally, we may not acquire new members and customers in numbers sufficient to sustain growth in our business or retain existing members and customers at rates consistent with our business model, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.

Furthermore, preferences and overall economic conditions that impact consumer confidence and spending, including discretionary spending, could have a material impact on our business. Economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment levels, business conditions, slower growth or recession, market volatility and related uncertainty, negative financial news, changes in housing market conditions, the availability of credit, interest rates, tax rates, new or increased tariffs, fuel and energy costs, the effect of natural disasters or acts of terrorism, and other matters, including as a result of the continued COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on economic conditions, could reduce consumer spending or cause consumers to shift their spending to lower-priced alternatives, each of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

In addition to an adverse impact on demand for our products, uncertainty about, or a decline in, economic conditions, whether as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, could have a significant impact on our suppliers, logistics providers and other business partners, including resulting in financial instability, inability to obtain credit to finance operations and insolvency. Our vendors and their manufacturing and assembly activities are located outside the United States, and as a result our operations and performance depend on both global and regional economic conditions. These and other economic factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Changes in clothing and footwear costs and availability could materially adversely affect our business.

The future success of our business depends in part on our ability to anticipate and react to changes in clothing and footwear costs and availability. We are susceptible to increases in clothing costs as a result of factors beyond our control, such as general economic conditions, market changes, increased competition, general risk of inflation, exchange rate fluctuations, seasonal fluctuations, shortages or interruptions, weather conditions, changes in global climates, shipping delays, global demand, public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, generalized infectious diseases, changes in law or policy, declines in fertile or arable lands suitable for growing textiles, the availability of synthetic fabrics, product recalls and government regulations. For example, any prolonged negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the availability of natural or man-made fabrics and other clothing or footwear materials could  materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results; provided we have not experienced any of these effects to date. We generally do not have long-term supply contracts or guaranteed purchase commitments with our suppliers.

The termination of, or material changes to, our relationships with key vendors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results, which could be exacerbated due to our reliance on a small number of vendors for a significant portion of our inventory.

We contract to manufacture with vendors for the products we sell. As of October 6,28, 2021, we procured merchandise from more than 25 vendors. However, for the year ended January 2, 2021, four vendors accounted for approximately 60% of inventory purchases. As of January 2, 2021, the amount due to these vendors totaled $242,019. For the year ended December 28, 2019, three vendors accounted for approximately 50% of inventory purchases. For the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, three vendors accounted for approximately 58% of inventory purchases. For the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020, three vendors accounted for approximately 63% of inventory purchases.

In the event these vendors decide to terminate their relationships with us or cease supplying products, such vendors may be difficult to replace and/or the products they supply us may be more expensive or of lesser quality. It can take a significant amount of time and resources to identify, develop and maintain relationships with vendors. The termination of, or material changes to, arrangements with key vendors, disagreements with key vendors as to payment or other terms, or the failure of a key supplier or vendor to meet its contractual obligations to us may require us to contract with alternative vendors. If we have to replace key vendors, we may be subject to pricing or other terms less favorable than those we currently enjoy, and it may be difficult to identify and secure relationships with alternative vendors that are able to meet our volume requirements and quality or other standards. If we cannot replace or engage vendors who meet our specifications and standards in a short period of time, we could encounter increased expenses, shortages of items, disruptions or delays in customer shipments. Such affects could be further exacerbated due to our reliance on a small number of vendors for the majority of our inventory purchases. If any of the above were to occur, we could experience delays in shipments, cancellations and a reduction in sales revenue, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We may be unable to scale our operations fast enough to bring down our cost of sales and generate revenues sufficient to support our operations.

We believe that in general, the faster we are able to scale up our operations, the lower our cost of sales, as a percentage of revenue, will be, as we believe that certain economics of scale exist with our operations. If we are unable to grow our business fast enough to take advantage of these economies of scale, our operations may suffer, and we may not be profitable.

Our acquisition, sales and shipping operations require us to manage and communicate with vendors, partners and third parties all over the world.

Our operations require us to keep in contact with, and communicate with, vendors, partners and third parties all over the world. Our failure to effectively communicate which such parties, either due to issues with connectivity, communication issues, or changes in time zones, among others, could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete our business plan, expand our operations, manage our sales and growth, and meet customer needs. As a result, such failure could have a material adverse effect on our operations, revenues and future growth.

Disruptions in our warehouse operations could adversely affect sales and customer satisfaction.

We currently receive, package and ship merchandise at our warehouse located in Southern California. We depend on the orderly operation of our warehouse, and will in the future depend on additional warehouses, to distribute our products. Although we believe that our receiving and distribution process is efficient, unforeseen disruptions in operations due to fires, hurricanes, earthquakes or other catastrophic events, labor issues or other shipping problems may result in delays in the delivery of products to our warehouse(s), delays in shipping products to members and customers, or delays in such members and customers receiving products on a timely basis, which could adversely affect sales and the satisfaction of our members and customers. Separately, if we are unable to adequately staff our warehouse(s) or if the cost of such staffing is higher than historical or projected costs, our margins may be negatively affected. In addition, warehousing comes with potential risks, such as workplace safety issues and employment claims for the failure or alleged failure to comply with labor laws or laws respecting union organizing activities. Any such issues may result in delays in shipping times or packing quality, and our reputation and operating results may be harmed.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events could negatively affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, typhoons or earthquakes, could negatively affect our operations and financial performance. Such events could result in physical damage to our warehouse or future warehouses, the temporary closure of our warehouse or future warehouses, the temporary lack of an adequate work force at a warehouse, the temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of products from some local or overseas suppliers, the temporary disruption in the transport of goods to or from overseas, delays in the delivery of goods to our warehouse or future warehouses, and the temporary reduction in the availability of products in our warehouse or future warehouses. Public health issues, whether occurring in the U.S. or abroad, could disrupt our operations, disrupt the operations of suppliers or have an adverse impact on consumer spending and confidence levels. These events could also reduce demand for our products or make it difficult or impossible to receive products from suppliers or ship products to members and customers. We may be required to suspend operations in some or all of our locations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks associated with product returns and the costs of such returns which could reduce our net revenues and results of operations.

Our members and customers are able to return products which we ship to them for free. If we do not do a good job anticipating the upcoming trends or ship items to members that do not fit their style and receive a higher return rate than expected, we could lose money on shipping costs and could have to find ways to unload excess inventory at prices below those anticipated. Although we maintain a reserve for returns, we could be forced to accept substantial product returns beyond such reserve in the future, which would be costly, not just due to the excess inventory that would create, but because we have to pay the costs of shipping and returns. Product returns that exceed our reserves could harm our business and financial results. From time to time our products are damaged in transit, which can increase return rates and harm our brand.

We rely upon independent third-party transportation providers for substantially all of our product shipments and are subject to increased shipping costs as well as the potential inability of our third-party transportation providers to deliver on a timely basis.

We currently rely upon independent third-party transportation providers for substantially all of our product shipments, including shipments to and from all of members and customers, and currently rely on FedEx SmartPost shipping in connection with U.S. Postal Service for substantially all of our shipping needs. Our utilization of these delivery services (and more specifically, FedEx via the U.S. Post Office) for shipments is subject to risks which may impact a shipping company’s ability to provide delivery services that adequately meet our shipping needs, including risks related to employee strikes, labor and capacity constraints, port security considerations, trade policy changes or restrictions, military conflicts, acts of terrorism, accidents, natural disasters and inclement weather. In addition, our clothing, shoes and accessories are currently manufactured under our own brand name in only two countries, China and Turkey. Accordingly, any delays in production and added costs in China or Turkey could have a more significant impact on our results of operations. Any interruption in service provided by our shipping companies could cause temporary disruptions in our business, a loss of sales and profits, and other material adverse effects. In addition, we are subject to increased shipping costs when fuel prices increase, as we use expedited means of transportation such as air freight. If we change the shipping company we use, we could face logistical difficulties that could adversely affect deliveries, and we would incur costs and expend resources in connection with such change. Moreover, we may not be able to obtain terms as favorable as those received from our current independent third-party transportation provider which, in turn, would increase our costs.

Our gross margins could be adversely affected if we are unable to manage our inventory effectively.

The nature of the apparel and footwear industry requires us to carry a significant amount of inventory. Merchandise usually must be ordered well in advance of the season and frequently before apparel trends are confirmed by customer purchases. We must enter into contracts for the purchase and manufacture of merchandise well in advance of the applicable selling season. As a result, we are vulnerable to demand and pricing shifts and to sub-optimal selection and timing of merchandise purchases. If sales do not meet expectations (for example, because of the continuing and unknown aggregate duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on inventory supply and consumer demand), too much inventory may cause excessive markdowns and, therefore, lower-than-planned margins.

Our ability to source our merchandise could be negatively impacted if new trade restrictions are imposed or existing trade restrictions become more burdensome.

The United States and China and Turkey, where our products are manufactured, may impose additional quotas, duties, tariffs, or other restrictions or regulations, or may adversely adjust prevailing quota, duty, or tariff levels. These restrictions or regulations could have an adverse effect on our financial statements for the period or periods for which the applicable final determinations are made. Countries impose, modify, and remove tariffs and other trade restrictions in response to a diverse array of factors, including global and national economic and political conditions, which make it impossible for us to predict future developments regarding tariffs and other trade restrictions. Trade restrictions, including tariffs, quotas, embargoes, safeguards, and customs restrictions, could increase the cost or reduce the supply of products available to us or may require us to modify our supply chain organization or other current business practices, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We are dependent on international trade agreements and regulations. If the United States were to withdraw from or materially modify certain international trade agreements, our business could be adversely affected.

The U.S. government has imposed increased tariffs on certain imports from China. Additional tariffs may be imposed on other imports from China in the future, including on items that we import. While it is too early to predict how the recently enacted and proposed tariffs on items imported from China will impact our business, such tariffs could require us to increase prices, which could reduce the competitiveness of our products or, if we do not increase prices, result in lower gross margin on products sold. In either case, increased tariffs or trade restrictions implemented by the United States or other countries in connection with a global trade war could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is highly dependent upon our ability to identify and respond to new and changing fashion trends, customer preferences, and other related factors. Our inability to identify and respond to these new trends may lead to inventory markdowns and write-offs, which could adversely affect us and our brand image.

Our success depends in large part upon our ability to effectively identify and respond to changing fashion trends and consumer demands and to translate market trends into desired product offerings. Our failure to identify and react appropriately to new and changing fashion trends or tastes, to accurately forecast demand for certain product offerings, could lead to, among other things, excess or insufficient amounts of inventory, markdowns, write-offs, and lower product margins, any of which could materially adversely affect our business. Because our success depends significantly on our brand image, damage to our brand image as a result of our failure to identify and respond to changing fashion trends could have a material negative impact on us. We often place orders for products ahead of when the product will be sold. Therefore, we are vulnerable to changes in consumer preference and demand, and pricing shifts, between the time we design and order our products and when the merchandise will be sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adequately and timely respond to the preferences of our members and customers. The failure of any of our product offerings to appeal to our members and customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our business is sensitive to overall levels of consumer spending, particularly in the children’s apparel market.

Both retail and wholesale consumer demand for children apparel and accessories, is affected by the overall level of consumer spending. Overall spending in the market is affected by a number of factors, including birth rate fluctuations and general economic conditions. In addition, discretionary consumer spending is affected by a number of factors, such as the weather, the overall economy and employment levels, stock market returns, uncertainty in the political climate, gasoline and utility costs, business conditions, availability of consumer credit, tax rates, the availability of tax credits, interest rates, levels of consumer indebtedness, foreign currency exchange rates, and overall levels of consumer confidence. Reductions, or lower-than-expected growth, in the level of discretionary or overall end consumer spending may have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations. Furthermore, any increases in consumer discretionary spending during times of crisis may be temporary, such as those related to government stimulus programs. Economic conditions in certain regions may also be affected by natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tropical storms, earthquakes, and wildfires; other public health crises; and other major unforeseen events. These and other social, political and economic factors could adversely affect demand for our products, which would negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may be unable to maintain a high level of engagement with our members and customers and increase their spending with us, which could harm our business, financial condition, or operating results.

Most of our revenue comes from repeat purchases by active members and subscribers. If existing members and customers no longer find our service and products appealing or appropriately priced, they may make fewer purchases and may stop using our service. Even if our existing members and customers continue to find our service and products appealing, they may decide to reduce the frequency of shipments and purchase fewer products over time as their demand for new apparel declines. A decrease in the number of members and customers, a decrease in customer spending on the products we offer, or our inability to attract high-quality members and customers could negatively affect our operating results. Further, we believe that our future success will depend in part on our ability to increase sales to our existing members and customers over time and, if we are unable to do so, our business may suffer.

Our ability to grow our operations and revenues depends on our ability to attract new members and customers.

Our ability to grow our operations and revenues depends on our ability to cost-effectively attract new members and customers. To do that, we must appeal to and acquire members and customers who have historically used other means to purchase children’s apparel, shoes, and accessories, such as traditional brick-and-mortar apparel retailers or the websites of our competitors. We also face competition for members and customers from other retailers who offer or plan to offer similar services as ours. We reach new members and customers through paid marketing, referral programs, organic word of mouth, email, and other methods of discovery, such as mentions in the press or internet search engine results. Although we expect to increase marketing spend over time, our marketing activity and spend may vary from period to period and we may adjust our marketing strategy or spend within a period if we are not achieving the intended results or if we believe the return-on-investment is not favorable, which may result in faster or slower rates of active client growth in any given period. Moreover, new members and customers may not purchase from us as frequently or spend as much with us as existing members and customers, and the revenue generated from new members and customers may not be as high as the revenue generated from our existing members and customers.

To date we have been significantly reliant on related party relationships and loans.

To date our operating expenses have been significantly supplemented by related party loans from Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and his family, all of which have since been converted into equity. We also sublease our corporate office and our California fulfillment center from Nina Footwear Corp., which is 86.36% owned by Ezra Dabah and his family including Moshe Dabah, and which entity Mr. Dabah serves as Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors of (“Nina Footwear”). Nina Footwear also provides us administrative and executive support services under a Management Services Agreement in consideration for 0.75% of our monthly net sales. For the years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, the total fees payable to Nina Footwear pursuant to the Management Services Agreement were $115,725 and $124,218, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses. Management fees amounted to $74,729 and $45,567 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses. For the year ended December 29, 2018, the total fees payable to Nina Footwear were $118,000, representing 1% of the Company’s total net sales. In the event the sublease agreements were terminated, we may not be able to find comparable office and fulfillment center arrangements and/or the costs of such arrangements may be significantly higher than those charged by Nina Footwear. Furthermore, we may be unable to support our operations if Ezra Dabah and his family members stop loaning us money. On April 1, 2021, April 14, 2021 and June 15, 2021, the Company borrowed $100,000, $200,000 and $100,000 from Nina Footwear and entered into short-term, unsecured promissory notes in the amounts of $100,000, $200,000 and $100,000, respectively, to evidence the loans. The notes are unsecured, noninterest bearing and due on December 31, 2021. As of July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, there was $1,018,167 and $599,811 due to Nina Footwear, respectively. Additionally, in the event the Management Services Agreement were terminated, our costs may increase, and we may be unable to cost effectively obtain the services currently provided by Nina Footwear. While we believe that all related party agreements are on terms similar to, or more favorable to, the Company than we would obtain from third parties, such significant related party relationships may be perceived negatively by potential stockholders or investors. Our significant related party relationships and transactions, the terms of such relationships and transactions, and/or the termination of any such relationships or transactions, may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations moving forward.

Our current stockholders hold preemptive, anti-dilution, drag-along and tag-along rights, which will be terminated in connection with the offering, except toWe have oneformer minority stockholder of the Company, who will continuemay be deemed to hold anti-dilution, drag-along and tag-along rights, which have no termination date.

Pursuant to certain prior Investment Agreements and Conversion Agreements entered into with the majority of our current stockholders prior to the date hereof, such stockholders holdwere granted preemptive, anti-dilution, drag-along and tag-along rights. On May 12, 2021, the Company and each then stockholder of the Company (other than the minorminority stockholder discussed below), except for one minority stockholder, entered into a Covenant Termination and Release Agreement, whereby each executing stockholder, in consideration for $10, agreed to terminate any and all preemptive rights, anti-dilutive rights, tag-along, drag-along or other special stockholder rights which they held as a result of the terms of any prior Investment Agreements or Conversion Agreements, and release the Company from any and all liability or obligations in connection with any such rights, effective as of the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective. As such, no preemptive rights, anti-dilution, drag-along and tag-along rights will apply to this offering (other than asto the extent described below), or continue to bind the Company as to such executing stockholders. However, one non-related stockholder of the Company who holdsthen held 147,620 shares of common stock (2.7% of the Company’s current outstanding common stock), pursuant to a January 14, 2019 Conversion Agreement, hasdid not executedexecute such Covenant Termination and Release Agreement . Although the shares originally held by such stockholder were subsequently transferred, the language regarding the termination of anti-dilution, drag-along and will continuetag-along rights is not. As such, although the Company believes that all rights were terminated upon the transfer of the shares originally held by such minority stockholder, it is possible that such minority stockholder argues that he continues to hold contractual drag-along rights (providing for rights to be dragged along in any transaction relating to the sale of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares or assets, or the sale of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, on the same terms, and subject to the same conditions, as other sellers) and tag-along rights (to tag-along with any transaction proposed by Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, or his affiliates with a third party, on the same terms and in the same proportion, as Ezra Dabah and his affiliates). The Conversion Agreement also provides the , as well as stockholder adjustment rights, whereby if the Company ever issues shares of capital stock (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for capital stock, or any options, warrants or other rights to purchase, subscribe for or otherwise acquire capital stock), at a price per share less than $3.3870749 per share, the Company is required to issue such stockholder a number of additional shares of common stock equal to the difference between (i) 147,620 shares of common stock and (ii) $500,000 divided by the dilutive price. Such anti-dilutive rights, drag-along and tag-along rights , to the extent they continue to apply, will have no expiration date. We do not anticipateAs discussed above, it is the Company’s belief that such rights being triggeredexpired automatically upon the transfer of the shares of stock originally held by the offering of securities described in this prospectus. However,such stockholder, however , in the event such anti-dilutive rights are deemed to apply and triggered, it could cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Furthermore, such anti-dilution, tag-along and drag-along rights , or the risk that such rights continue to apply, may make the Company less desirable for an acquisition, which may otherwise be beneficial to stockholders, may complicate future offerings and/or may result in the value of the Company’s securities having trading prices less than a similarly situated company which did not have outstanding anti-dilution, tag-along and drag-along rights.rights , or risks that such rights apply . Regardless of the above, we do not anticipate such rights being triggered by the offering of securities described in this prospectus.

We have identified material weaknesses in our information technology general controls and procedures. If not remediated, our failure to establish and maintain effective information technology general controls and procedures could result in material misstatements in our financial statements which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.

Maintaining effective information technology (“IT”) general controls and procedures is necessary for us to produce reliable financial information. Although a formal evaluation of our internal controls and procedures is not yet required pursuant to SEC rules or requirements, during the preparation of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified various significant deficiencies that when combined rise to a material weakness in our IT general controls, which related to insufficient documentation related to risk assessment, privileged access and application. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Without formal documentation, written policies and documented controls, the Company could be vulnerable to unauthorized changes, errors, and disclosure of financial information; and could jeopardize the integrity of critical business and financial information.

Maintaining effective IT general controls and procedures are necessary for us to produce reliable financial information and the Company is committed to remediating its material weakness in such controls as promptly as possible. However, there can be no assurance as to when these material weaknesses will be remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. Any failure to remediate the material weaknesses, or the development of new material weaknesses in our internal controls and procedures could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock, and/or result in litigation against us or our management. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our IT general controls and procedures, those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements or our future periodic reports filed with the SEC.

The ability of certain key employees to devote adequate time to us are critical to the success of our business, and failure to do so may adversely affect our revenues and as a result could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We must retain the services of our key employees and strategically recruit and hire new talented employees to obtain customer transactions that generate most of our revenues. Mr. Ezra Dabah also serves as the Chief Executive Officer and director of our Company since April 2015 (and Chairman since October 2021). Ezra Dabah also serves as the Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors of Nina Footwear, a wholesaler of women’s and kids’ shoes and accessories (a position he has held since 2012). Mr. Moshe Dabah is currently Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer of the Company and has served as Vice President of the Company since July 2019. Since January 2021, Moshe Dabah has served as the Secretary of Nina Footwear. Nina Footwear is 86.36% owned by Ezra Dabah and his family. Ezra Dabah spends approximately 80% of his time on Company matters and approximately 20% of his time as Chief Executive Officer and director of Nina Footwear and Moshe Dabah spends approximately 90% of his time on Company matters and approximately 10% of his time as the Secretary of Nina Footwear. As a result, these key employees dedicate only a portion of their professional efforts to our business and operations, and there is no contractual obligation for them to spend a specific amount of their time with us. These key employees may not be able to dedicate adequate time to our business and operations and we could experience an adverse effect on our operations due to the demands placed on our management team by their other professional obligations. In addition, these key employees’ other responsibilities could cause conflicts of interest with us.

Our failure to comply with the covenants in the documents governing our existing and future indebtedness could materially adversely affect our financial condition and liquidity.

In connection with Cash Advance Agreements we have entered into with CFT Clear Finance Technology Corp. (“Clear Finance”), pursuant to which we received certain advances against our future receivables, and our Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with Crossroads Financial Group, LLC (“Crossroads”), we agree to meet certain financial covenants (described in greater detail under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”—“Liquidity and Capital Resources”—“Line of Credit”), and to not provide any person any security interest in our assets other than Crossroads. Such agreements also include customary events of default, including as to the Loan and Security Agreement, if Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and his family cease being the direct or indirect beneficial owner of more than 50% of our voting stock, or if any other person or entity shall become the direct or indirect owner of over 45% of our voting stock or if Mr. Dabah or Adir Katzav, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, cease to be employed by the Company. If technical defaults or other events of default occur under the Cash Advance Agreements or the Loan and Security Agreement, or other outstanding debt obligations in the future, and such defaults are not waived, we would face penalties and damages, and our lenders will be able to accelerate the amounts due under such agreements, which could force us to liquidate assets and/or seek bankruptcy protection. Additionally, a breach of any of the covenants of Cash Advance Agreements or the Loan and Security Agreement or any future agreements, if uncured or unwaived, could lead to an event of default under any such document, which in some circumstances could give our creditors the right to demand that we accelerate repayment of amounts due and/or enforce their security interests over substantially all of our assets. This would likely in turn trigger cross-acceleration or cross-default rights in other documents governing our indebtedness. Therefore, in the event of any such breach, we may need to seek covenant waivers or amendments from our creditors or seek alternative or additional sources of financing, and we may not be able to obtain any such waivers or amendments or alternative or additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, any covenant breach or event of default could harm our credit rating and our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity and/or cause our lenders to enforce their security interests which could ultimately result in the foreclosure of our assets, which would have a material adverse effect on our operations and the value of our securities.

Our obligations under our asset-based Loan and Security Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets.

Our obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of our assets. As such, if we default under that agreement or our obligations to our creditor, our creditor may enforce its security interests over our assets which secure the repayment of our obligations, take control of our assets and operations, force us to seek bankruptcy protection, or force us to curtail or abandon our current business plans and operations. If that were to happen, any investment in the Company could become worthless. We intend to pay off all our obligations to Crossroads and Clear Finance and other payables with money received from this offering, and to use the remainder of such funds for marketing expenses and for working capital.

Risks Relating to Data and Information Systems

Disruptions in our data and information systems could harm our reputation and our ability to run our business.

We rely extensively on data and information systems for our supply chain, order processing algorithm, fulfillment operations, financial reporting, human resources and various other operations, processes and transactions. Furthermore, a significant portion of the communications between, and storage of personal data of, our personnel, members, customers and suppliers depend on information technology. Our data and information systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, computer and telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches (including breaches of our transaction processing or other systems that could result in the compromise of confidential customer data), catastrophic events, data breaches and usage errors by our employees or third-party service providers. Our data and information technology systems may also fail to perform as we anticipate, and we may encounter difficulties in adapting these systems to changing technologies or expanding them to meet the future needs of our business. If our systems are breached, damaged or cease to function properly, we may have to make significant investments to fix or replace them, suffer interruptions in our operations, incur liability to our members, customers and others or face costly litigation, and our reputation with our members and customers may be harmed. We also rely on third parties for a majority of our data and information systems, including for third-party hosting and payment processing. If these facilities fail, or if they suffer a security breach or interruption or degradation of service, a significant amount of our data could be lost or compromised and our ability to operate our business and deliver our product offerings could be materially impaired. In addition, various third parties, such as our suppliers and payment processors, also rely heavily on information technology systems, and any failure of these systems could also cause loss of sales, transactional or other data and significant interruptions to our business. Any material interruption in the data and information technology systems we rely on, including the data or information technology systems of third parties, could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business has in the past been, and may in the future be, subject to data security risks, including security breaches.

We, or our third-party vendors on our behalf, collect, process, store and transmit substantial amounts of information, including information about our members and customers. We take steps to protect the security and integrity of the information we collect, process, store or transmit, but there is no guarantee that inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure will not occur or that third parties will not gain unauthorized access to this information despite such efforts. Security breaches, computer malware, computer hacking attacks and other compromises of information security measures have become more prevalent in the business world and may occur on our systems or those of our vendors in the future. We were subject to a ransomware attack in July 2020. The attack was exacted on equipment located at our executive offices located at 200 Park Avenue South, New York, New York 10003. The attackers gained access to the network via virtual private network (VPN) and proceeded to encrypt local desktop computers and servers connected to that domain. There was no exposure of our customer database or primary system servers which host our website in the attack, as they are not located at our corporate offices. By the following day, the threat had been mitigated and office systems were decrypted a few days later. Large internet companies and websites have from time to time disclosed sophisticated and targeted attacks on portions of their websites, and an increasing number have reported such attacks resulting in breaches of their information security. We and our third-party vendors are at risk of suffering from similar attacks and breaches (similar to the July 2020 breach described above). Although we take steps to maintain confidential and proprietary information on our information systems, these measures and technology may not adequately prevent security breaches and we rely on our third-party vendors to take appropriate measures to protect the security and integrity of the information on those information systems. Because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to or to sabotage information systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us, we may be unable to anticipate or prevent these attacks. In addition, a party who is able to illicitly obtain a customer’s identification and password credentials may be able to access the customer’s account and certain account data.

Any actual or suspected security breach or other compromise of our security measures or those of our third-party vendors, whether as a result of hacking efforts, denial-of-service attacks, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, social engineering or otherwise, could harm our reputation and business, damage our brand and make it harder to retain existing members and customers or acquire new ones, require us to expend significant capital and other resources to address the breach, and result in a violation of applicable laws, regulations or other legal obligations. Our insurance policies may not cover, or may not be adequate to reimburse us for, losses caused by any such security breach.

We rely on email and other messaging services to connect with our existing and potential members and customers. Our members and customers may be targeted by parties using fraudulent spoofing and phishing emails to misappropriate passwords, payment information or other personal information or to introduce viruses through Trojan horse programs or otherwise through our members’ and customers’ computers, smartphones, tablets or other devices. Despite our efforts to mitigate the effectiveness of such malicious email campaigns through product improvements, spoofing and phishing may damage our brand and increase our costs. Any of these events or circumstances could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our websites have in the past encountered, and may in the future encounter, technical problems and service interruptions.

Our websites have in the past encountered, and may in the future experience, slower response times or interruptions as a result of increased traffic or other reasons. These delays and interruptions resulting from failure to maintain internet service connections to our site have in the past and may in the future frustrate visitors and reduce our future web site traffic, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business is exposed to risks associated with credit card and other online payment chargebacks and fraud.

A majority of our revenue is processed through credit cards and other online payments (including PayPal). If our refunds or chargebacks increase, our processors could require us to create reserves, increase fees or terminate their contracts with us, which would have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Our failure to limit fraudulent transactions conducted on our websites, such as through the use of stolen credit card numbers, could also subject us to liability and adversely impact our reputation. Under credit card association rules, penalties may be imposed at the discretion of the association for inadequate fraud protection. Any such potential penalties would be imposed on our credit card processor by the association. However, we face the risk that we may fail to maintain an adequate level of fraud protection and that one or more credit card associations or other processors may, at any time, assess penalties against us or terminate our ability to accept credit card payments or other form of online payments from members and customers, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We could also incur significant fines or lose our ability to give members and customers the option of using credit cards to pay for our products if we fail to follow payment card industry data security standards, even if there is no compromise of customer information. Although we believe we are in compliance with payment card industry data security standards and do not believe there has been a compromise of customer information, it is possible that at times we have not, or may not be, in full compliance with these standards. Accordingly, we could be fined, which could impact our financial condition, or our ability to accept credit and debit cards as payment could be suspended, which would cause us to be unable to process payments using credit cards. If we are unable to accept credit card payments, our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

In addition, we could be liable if there is a breach of the payment information. Online commerce and communications depend on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. We rely on encryption and authentication technology to authenticate and secure the transmission of confidential information, including cardholder information. However, this technology may not prevent breaches of the systems we use to protect cardholder information. In addition, some of our partners also collect or possess information about our members and customers, and we may be subject to litigation or our reputation may be harmed if our partners fail to protect our members’ and customers’ information or if they use it in a manner inconsistent with our policies and practices. Data breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical issues. Under our contracts with our processors, if there is unauthorized access to, or disclosure of, credit card information we store, we could be liable to the credit card issuing banks for their cost of issuing new cards and related expenses.

There may be losses or unauthorized access to or releases of confidential information, including personally identifiable information, that could subject the Company to significant reputational, financial, legal and operational consequences.

The Company’s business requires it to use, transmit and store confidential information including, among other things, personally identifiable information (“PII”) with respect to the Company’s members, customers and employees. The Company devotes significant resources to network and data security, including through the use of encryption and other security measures intended to protect its systems and data. But these measures cannot provide absolute security, and losses or unauthorized access to or releases of confidential information could occur and could materially adversely affect the Company’s reputation, financial condition and operating results. The Company’s business also requires it to share confidential information with third parties. Although the Company takes steps to secure confidential information that is provided to third parties, such measures are not always effective and losses or unauthorized access to or releases of confidential information occur and could materially adversely affect the Company’s reputation, financial condition and operating results.

For example, the Company may experience a security breach impacting the Company’s information technology systems that compromises the confidentiality, integrity or availability of confidential information. Such an incident could, among other things, impair the Company’s ability to attract and retain members and customers for its products and services, impact the Company’s stock price, materially damage supplier relationships, and expose the Company to litigation or government investigations, which could result in penalties, fines or judgments against the Company.

Under payment card rules and obligations, if cardholder information is potentially compromised, the Company could be liable for associated investigatory expenses and could also incur significant fees or fines if the Company fails to follow payment card industry data security standards. The Company could also experience a significant increase in payment card transaction costs or lose the ability to process payment cards if it fails to follow payment card industry data security standards, which would materially adversely affect the Company’s reputation, financial condition and operating results.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

Our business is subject to a wide variety of U.S. and foreign government laws and regulations. These laws and regulations, as well as any new or changed laws or regulations, could disrupt our operations or increase our compliance costs. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have a further adverse impact on our business.

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations relating to the markets in which we operate or to various aspects of our business. Laws and regulations at the foreign, federal, state and local levels frequently change, and we cannot always reasonably predict the impact from, or the ultimate cost of compliance with, future regulatory or administrative changes. Changes in law, the imposition of new or additional regulations or the enactment of any new or more stringent legislation that impacts employment and labor, trade, advertising and marketing practices, pricing, consumer credit offerings, product testing and safety, transportation and logistics, health care, tax, accounting, privacy and data security, health and safety, financial crimes and sanctions or environmental issues, among others, could require us to change the way we do business and could have a material adverse impact on our sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition. Moreover, our production, marketing, advertising and other business practices could become the subject of proceedings before regulatory authorities or the subject of claims by other parties that could require us to alter or end those practices or adopt new practices that are not as effective or are more expensive.

In addition, our operations are subject to federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to pollution, environmental protection, occupational health and safety and labor and employee relations. New or different laws or regulations could increase direct compliance costs for us or may cause our vendors to raise the prices they charge us because of increased compliance costs. Further, the adoption of a multi-layered regulatory approach to any one of the state or federal laws or regulations to which we are currently subject, particularly where the layers are in conflict, could require alteration of our processes which may adversely impact our business. We may not be in complete compliance with all such requirements at all times and, even when we believe that we are in complete compliance, a regulatory agency may determine that we are not. Our operations could also be impacted by a number of pending legislative and regulatory proposals in the United States and other countries to address global climate change. These actions could increase costs associated with our operations, including costs for raw materials, pollution control equipment and transportation. Because it is uncertain what laws will be enacted, we cannot predict the potential impact of such laws on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, our operations and those of our suppliers are subject to foreign exchange, tariff, environmental, tax and regulatory compliance risks, among others, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

As a distributor of consumer products, we are subject to the Consumer Products Safety Act, which empowers the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) to exclude from the market products that are found to be unsafe or hazardous. We are also subject to the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which requires that children’s products: (a) comply with all applicable children’s product safety rules; (b) be tested for compliance by a CPSC-accepted accredited laboratory, unless subject to an exception; (c) have a written Children’s Product Certificate that provides evidence of the product’s compliance; and (d) have permanent tracking information affixed to the product and its packaging where practicable. Under certain circumstances, the Consumer Products Safety Commission could require us to repurchase or recall one or more of our products. In addition, laws regulating certain consumer products exist in some cities and states in which we sell our products, and more restrictive laws and regulations may be adopted in the future. Any repurchase or recall of our products could be costly to us and could damage our reputation. If we were required to remove, or we voluntarily removed, our products from the market, our reputation could be tarnished and we could have large quantities of products that we are unable to sell.

Several states currently have laws in effect that are similar to, and, in certain cases, more restrictive than, these federal laws. Compliance with all of these regulations is costly and time-consuming. Inadvertent violation of any of these regulations could cause us to incur fines and penalties and may also lead to restrictions on our ability to manufacture and sell our products and services and to import or export the products we sell. All of which could have a negative effect on revenues or gross profit.

Government regulation of the internet and e-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these regulations could substantially harm our business and results of operations.

We are subject to general business regulations and laws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the internet and e-commerce. Existing and future regulations and laws could impede the growth of the internet, e-commerce or mobile commerce. These regulations and laws may involve taxes, tariffs, privacy and data security, anti-spam, content protection, electronic contracts and communications, consumer protection and internet neutrality. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, and consumer privacy apply to the internet as the vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the internet and do not contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the internet or e-commerce. It is possible that general business regulations and laws, or those specifically governing the internet or e-commerce, may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. We cannot be sure that our practices have complied, comply or will comply fully with all such laws and regulations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result in damage to our reputation, a loss in business and proceedings, or actions against us by governmental entities or others. Any such proceeding or action could hurt our reputation, force us to spend significant amounts in defense of these proceedings, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, decrease the use of our sites by members, customers and suppliers and may result in the imposition of monetary liability. We may also be contractually liable to indemnify and hold harmless third parties from the costs or consequences of non-compliance with any such laws or regulations. In addition, it is possible that governments of one or more countries may seek to censor content available on our websites or may even attempt to completely block access to our websites. Adverse legal or regulatory developments could substantially harm our business. In particular, in the event that we are restricted, in whole or in part, from operating in one or more countries, our ability to retain or increase our customer base may be adversely affected, and we may not be able to maintain or grow our net revenue and expand our business as anticipated.

Failure to comply with federal, state and foreign laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, could adversely affect our business and our financial condition.

A variety of federal, state and foreign laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. Laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. These requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another or may conflict with other rules or our practices. As a result, our practices may not have complied or may not comply in the future with all such laws, regulations, requirements and obligations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any federal, state or foreign privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations, industry self-regulatory principles, industry standards or codes of conduct, regulatory guidance, orders to which we may be subject or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection could adversely affect our reputation, brand and business, and may result in claims, investigations, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities or require us to change our operations.

We collect, store, process, and use personal information and other customer data, and we rely on third parties that are not directly under our control to manage certain of these operations and to collect, store, process and use payment information. Our members’ and customers’ personal information may include names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, payment card data, and payment account information, as well as other information. Due to the volume and sensitivity of the personal information and data we and these third parties manage, the security features of our information systems are critical. If our security measures, some of which are managed by third parties, are breached or fail, unauthorized persons may be able to access sensitive customer data, including payment card data. If we or our independent service providers or business partners experience a breach of systems that collect, store or process our members’ and customers’ sensitive data, our brand could be harmed, sales of our products could decrease, and we could be exposed to claims, losses, administrative fines, litigation or regulatory and governmental investigations and proceedings. Any such claim, investigation, proceeding or action could hurt our reputation, brand and business, force us to incur significant expenses in defense of such proceedings, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, result in a loss of members, customers and suppliers and may result in the imposition of monetary penalties and administrative fines. Depending on the nature of the information compromised, we may also have obligations to notify users, law enforcement, or payment companies about the incident and may need to provide some form of remedy, such as refunds, for the individuals affected by the incident.

Privacy laws, rules, and regulations are constantly evolving in the United States and abroad and may be inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another. We expect that new industry standards, laws and regulations will continue to be proposed regarding privacy, data protection and information security in many jurisdictions, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, which went effective January 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Rights Act, which goes effective on January 1, 2023, the Colorado Privacy Act, which goes effective on July 1, 2013 and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, which goes effective January 1, 2023. We cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business. Complying with these evolving obligations is costly. For instance, expanding definitions and interpretations of what constitutes “personal data” (or the equivalent) within the United States and elsewhere may increase our compliance costs. Any failure to comply could give rise to unwanted media attention and other negative publicity, damage our customer and consumer relationships and reputation, and result in lost sales, claims, administrative fines, lawsuits or regulatory and governmental investigations and proceedings and may harm our business and results of operations.

Outside of the United States, there are many countries with data protection laws, and new countries are adopting data protection legislation with increasing frequency. Many of these laws may require consent from members and customers for the use of data for various purposes, including marketing, which may reduce our ability to market our products. There is no harmonized approach to these laws and regulations globally. Consequently, we will increase our risk of non-compliance with applicable foreign data protection laws and regulations if we expand internationally. We may need to change and limit the way we use personal information in operating our business and may have difficulty maintaining a single operating model that is compliant. Compliance with such laws and regulations will result in additional costs and may necessitate changes to our business practices and divergent operating models, limit the effectiveness of our marketing activities, adversely affect our business and financial condition, and subject us to additional liabilities.

In addition, various federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies, or self-regulatory organizations, may expand current laws or regulations, enact new laws or regulations or issue revised rules or guidance regarding privacy, data protection and consumer protection. Further regulation and interpretation of existing regulation of cookies and similar technologies may lead to broader restrictions on our marketing and personalization activities and may negatively impact our efforts to understand users’ internet usage, as well as the effectiveness of our marketing and our business generally. Such regulations may have a negative effect on businesses, including ours, that collect and use online usage information for consumer acquisition and marketing, it may increase the cost of operating a business that collects or uses such information and undertakes online marketing, it may also increase regulatory scrutiny and increase potential civil liability under data protection or consumer protection laws. Any such changes may force us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices. This could compromise our ability to pursue our growth strategy effectively and may adversely affect our ability to acquire members and customers or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

We may experience fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are subject to taxes in every jurisdiction in which we operate. We record tax expense based on current tax liabilities and our estimates of future tax liabilities, which may include reserves for estimates of probable settlements of tax audits. At any one-time, multiple tax years are subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The results of these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may affect the ultimate settlement of these issues. Further, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be materially impacted by changes in tax laws, changes in the mix and level of earnings by taxing jurisdictions, or changes to existing accounting rules or regulations. Fluctuations in our tax obligations and effective tax rate could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. 

Our failure to collect state or local sales, use or other similar taxes could result in substantial tax liabilities, including for past sales, as well as penalties and interest, and our business could be materially adversely affected.

On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court decided, in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., that state and local jurisdictions may, at least in certain circumstances, enforce a sales and use tax collection obligation on remote vendors that have no physical presence in such jurisdiction. As a result, all states require sales and use tax collection by remote vendors and/or by online marketplaces. The details and effective dates of these collection requirements vary from state to state. It is possible that one or more jurisdictions may assert that we have liability for periods for which we have not collected sales, use or other similar taxes, and if such an assertion or assertions were successful it could result in substantial tax liabilities, including for past sales as well as penalties and interest, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We will incur significant costs to ensure compliance with U.S. and NASDAQ reporting and corporate governance requirements.

We will incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements and with applicable U.S. and NASDAQ corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC and NASDAQ. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers.

Risks Related to Management and Directors

Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of Directors, and his family and their respective affiliates, will continue to exercise significantmajority voting control over us after this offering, which will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could delay or prevent a change in corporate control.

Immediately following the completion of this offering, the existing holdings of

Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and member ofChairman, our Board of Directors, and his affiliates, will own, in the aggregate, approximately            % of our outstanding common stock, based on an assumed offering price of $          per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and based on a total offering of $                   .. Separately, pursuant to the terms of a voting agreement, Mr. Dabah individually,principal stockholder, currently controls approximately 93.7% of the voting power of our capital stock (based on shares of common stock outstanding as of October 29, 2021) and will control approximately [____]%71.9% of the combined voting power of our capital stock upon completion of this offering. offering, assuming an offering size as set forth on the cover page hereof.As a result, these stockholdersMr. Dabah will be able to influence our management and affairs and control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any sale, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

These stockholders

Mr. Dabah acquired theirhis shares of common stock for substantially less than the price of the shares of common stock being acquired in this offering, and these stockholders may have interests, with respect to theirhis common stock, that are different from those of investors in this offering and the concentration of voting power among one or more of these stockholdersheld by Mr. Dabah may have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

In addition, this concentration of ownership might adversely affect the market price of our common stock by: (1) delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our Company; (2) impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving our Company; or (3) discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our Company. Because Mr. Dabah and his familycan control the stockholder vote, investors may find it difficult to replace Mr. Dabah (and such persons as he may appoint from time to time) as members of our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Additionally, the interests of Mr. Dabah and his family may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other stockholders.

Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of Directors and his family, ownbeneficially owns greater than 50% of our outstanding shares of common stock, which will cause us to be deemed a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq.

Pursuant to the terms of a voting agreement, Mr. Dabah individually, currently controls approximately 93.7% of the voting power of our capital stock and will control approximately [____]%71.9% of the combined voting power of our capital stock upon completion of this offering.offering, assuming an offering size as set forth on the cover page hereof. As a result, Mr. Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of Directors and members of his family, own more than 50% of our outstanding shares (and will continue to own more than 50% of our outstanding shares upon consummation of the offering), and as such, we are a “controlled company” under the rules of NASDAQ. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company is a “controlled company” and, as such, can elect to be exempt from certain corporate governance requirements, including requirements that:

As a “controlled company,” we may elect to rely on some or all of these exemptions, and we currently intend to take advantage of all of these exemptions. Accordingly, should the interests of Mr. Dabah and his family differ from those of other stockholders, the other stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the NASDAQ corporate governance standards. Even if we do not avail ourselves of these exemptions, our status as a controlled company could make our common stock less attractive to some investors or otherwise harm our stock price. Additionally, as a “controlled company”, and because we intend to take advantage of all of the exemptions under the rules of NASDAQ relating to “controlled companies”, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of NASDAQ.

Separately, we are permitted to phase-in our compliance with the independent audit committee requirements set forth in NASDAQ rules, as follows: (1) one independent member of the audit committee at the time of listing (which independent member is Mr. David Oddi), (2) a majority of independent members of the audit committee within 90 days of listing, and (3) all independent members of the audit committee (i.e., at least three members) within one year of listing. During these phase-in periods, our stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies who have more ‘independent’ members of its audit committee and, if, within the phase-in periods, we are not able to recruit additional directors who would qualify as independent, or otherwise comply with the Nasdaq listing requirements, we may be subject to enforcement actions by Nasdaq. In addition, a change in our board of directors and committee membership may result in a change in corporate strategy and operating philosophies, and may result in deviations from our current growth strategy.

We rely on our management and if they were to leave our company or not devote sufficient time to our company, our business plan could be adversely affected.

We are largely dependent upon the personal efforts and abilities of our existing management, including Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and current sole member of the Board of Directors, Moshe Dabah, our Chief Operating and Technology Officer, and Adir Katzav, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, each of whom plays an active role in our operations. Moving forward, should the services of any of such persons, or other management of the Company, be lost for any reason, the Company will incur costs associated with recruiting replacements and any potential delays in operations which this may cause. If we are unable to replace our executive officers or other management with a suitably trained alternative individual(s), we may be forced to scale back or curtail our business plan. We do not currently have any employment agreements or maintain key person life insurance policies on our executive officers. Furthermore, certain of our executives do not work for the Company on a full-time basis. If such executive officers do not devote sufficient time towards our business, we may not be able to effectuate our business plan which would have an adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.

We do not currently have any employment agreements in place with management.

The Company has not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, nor any of our other executive officers. As such, there are no contractual relationships guaranteeing that Mr. Dabah or other management will stay with the Company and continue its operations. In the event Mr. Dabah or other members of management were to resign or be unable to continue to serve in their positions with the Company, due to their death, incapacity or disability, the Company may be unable to find another officer to replace such members of management which may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to our Intellectual Property

We may be unable to protect our proprietary information and intellectual property, and as a result, our business could be adversely affected.

We rely to a significant degree on trade secret laws to protect our proprietary information. Our principal trademark assets include the registered trademarks “kidpik” and our logos and taglines. Our trademarks are valuable assets that support our brand and consumers’ perception of our services and merchandise. We also hold the rights to the “kidpik.com” internet domain name and various other related domain names, which are subject to internet regulatory bodies and trademark and other related laws of each applicable jurisdiction. If we are unable to protect our trademarks or domain names in the United States or in other jurisdictions in which we may ultimately operate, our brand recognition and reputation would suffer, we would incur significant expense establishing new brands and our operating results would be adversely impacted. Additionally, breaches of the security of data center systems and infrastructure or other internet technology (IT) resources could result in the exposure of proprietary information. Additionally, trade secrets may be independently developed by competitors. The steps we have taken to protect our trade secrets and proprietary information may not prevent unauthorized use or reverse engineering of trade secrets or proprietary information. Additionally, to the extent that we have not registered the copyrights in any of our copyrightable works, we will need to register the copyrights before we can file an infringement suit in the United States (or another jurisdiction), and our remedies in any such infringement suit may be limited.

Effective protection of our intellectual property rights may require additional filings and applications in the future. However, pending and future applications may not be approved, and any existing or future patents, trademarks or other intellectual property rights may not provide sufficient protection for our business as currently conducted or may be challenged by others or invalidated through administrative process or litigation.

Further, the laws of certain countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States and, therefore, in certain jurisdictions, we may be unable to protect our proprietary rights and trade secrets adequately against unauthorized third-party copying, infringement or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position.

To protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, we may initiate litigation against third parties. Any lawsuits that we initiate could be expensive, take significant time and divert management’s attention from other business concerns. Additionally, we may unintentionally provoke third parties to assert claims against us. These claims could invalidate or narrow the scope of our own intellectual property. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially valuable. Accordingly, despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property. The occurrence of any of these events may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to claims that we violated intellectual property rights of others, which are extremely costly to defend and could require us to pay significant damages and limit our ability to operate.

Companies on the internet and technology industries, and other patent and trademark holders seeking to profit from royalties in connection with grants of licenses, own large numbers of patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. There may be intellectual property rights held by others, including issued or pending patents and trademarks, that cover significant aspects of our technologies, content, branding or business methods. Any intellectual property claims against us, regardless of merit, could be time-consuming and expensive to settle or litigate and could divert our management’s attention and other resources. These claims also could subject us to significant liability for damages and could result in our having to stop using technology, content, branding or business methods found to be in violation of another party’s rights. We might be required or may opt to seek a license for rights to intellectual property held by others, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we cannot license or develop technology, content, branding or business methods for any allegedly infringing aspect of our business, we may be unable to compete effectively. Even if a license is available, we could be required to pay significant royalties, which could increase our operating expenses. We may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, content, branding or business methods, which could require significant effort and expense and be inferior. Any of these results could harm our operating results.

Risks Associated with Our Governing Documents and Delaware Law

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense, which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers or directors.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for us to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan. These indemnification obligations may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers or directors.

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a specific provision that limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the Company and the Company’s stockholders and requires us, under certain circumstances, to indemnify officers, directors and employees.

The limitation of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Delaware law and the existence of indemnification rights to them may result in substantial expenditures by us and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a specific provision that limits the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the Company and the Company’s stockholders. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in us incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against our directors and officers, which the Company may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage us from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our stockholders against our directors and officers, even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

Our directors have the right to authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock.

Our directors, within the limitations and restrictions contained in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, subject to NASDAQ rules and requirements, and without further action by our stockholders, have the authority to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series and to fix the number of shares and the relative rights, conversion rights, voting rights, and terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and any other preferences, special rights and qualifications of any such series. Such rights and preferences may be superior to our common stock, provide for voting rights, board appointment rights, priority rights to dividends or in liquidation, and/or may negatively affect the rights of common stockholders or the value of our common shares. Any issuance of shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of holders of our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of our common stock.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares of our common stock. These provisions may also prevent or delay attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which limits the ability of stockholders holding shares representing more than 15% of the voting power of our outstanding voting stock from engaging in certain business combinations with us. Any provision of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.

The existence of the foregoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contain exclusive forum provisions that may discourage lawsuits against us and our directors and officers.

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless the corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

The choice of forum provision in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not waive our compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Moreover, the provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or by the Securities Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts with respect to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain claims under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding the above, to prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless the Company consents, the U.S. federal district courts will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. However, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision. While the Delaware courts have determined that choice of forum provisions of the type included in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in our exclusive forum provision. In such instance, to the extent applicable, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of our exclusive forum provision. This may require additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

These exclusive forum provisions may limit the ability of the Company’s stockholders to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholders find favorable for disputes with the Company or the Company’s directors or officers, which may discourage such lawsuits against the Company and the Company’s directors and officers. Alternatively, if a court were to find one or more of these exclusive forum provisions inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings described above, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions or forums, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock and this Offering

Our common stock prices may be volatile and could decline substantially following this offering.

The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations. Our financial performance, government regulatory action, tax laws, interest rates, and market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common stock.

Some of the factors that could negatively affect or result in fluctuations in the market price of our common stock include:

The offering price per share of our common stock offered under this prospectus may not accurately reflect the value of your investment.

The offering price per share of our common stock offered by this prospectus was negotiated between us and the underwriters. Factors considered in determining the price of our common stock include:

The offering price may not accurately reflect the value of our common stock and may not be realized upon any subsequent disposition of the shares.

There is no guarantee that we will be able to comply with NASDAQ’s continued listing standards.

As a condition to consummating this offering, our common stock offered in this prospectus must be listed on NASDAQ. Accordingly, we plan to applyhave applied to list our common stock on NASDAQ under the symbol “PIK”. Notwithstanding the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ, there can be no assurance any broker will be interested in trading our securities. Therefore, it may be difficult to sell your shares of common stock if you desire or need to sell them. Our underwriters are not obligated to make a market in our securities, and even they do make a market, they can discontinue market making at any time without notice. Neither we nor the underwriters can provide any assurance that an active and liquid trading market in our securities will develop or, if developed, that such market will continue.

Furthermore, there is no guarantee that we will be able to maintain our listing on NASDAQ for any period of time. Among the conditions required for continued listing on Nasdaq, NASDAQ requires us to maintain at least $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity or $500,000 in net income over the prior two years or two of the prior three years, to have a majority of independent directors (subject to certain “controlled company” exemptions, which we currently plan to take advantage of, as discussed in greater detail above under “Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and his family, own greater than 50% of our outstanding shares of common stock, which will cause us to be deemed a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq”), and to maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share. Our stockholders’ equity may not remain above NASDAQ’s $2.5 million minimum, we may not generate over $500,000 of yearly net income moving forward, we may not be able to maintain independent directors (to the extent required), and we may not be able to maintain a stock price over $1.00 per share. Our failure to meet the continued listing standards of NASDAQ may result in our securities being delisted from NASDAQ.

The absence of such a listing may adversely affect the acceptance of our common stock as currency or the value accorded by other parties. Further, if we are delisted, we would also incur additional costs under state blue sky laws in connection with any sales of our securities. These requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market. If our common stock is delisted by NASDAQ, our common stock may be eligible to trade on an over-the-counter quotation system, such as the OTCQB Market or OTC Pink Market, where an investor may find it more difficult to sell our securities or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. In the event our common stock is delisted from NASDAQ in the future, we may not be able to list our common stock or warrants on another national securities exchange or obtain quotation on an over-the counter quotation system.

We have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this offering and may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause our common stock to decline.

We will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay amounts owed to Crossroads and Clear Finance under our Loan and Security Agreement, for marketing expenses and for working capital, and potentially for future acquisitions. As a result, investors will be relying upon management’s judgment with only limited information about our specific intentions for the use of the net proceeds of this offering. We may use the net proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our stockholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

If our stock price fluctuates after the offering, you could lose a significant part of your investment.

The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to, among other things, the risk factors described in this prospectus, and other factors beyond our control, such as fluctuations in the valuation of companies perceived by investors to be comparable to us. Furthermore, the stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively affect the market price of our common stock. In the past, many companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock, then our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us, our industry and our market. If no analyst elects to cover us and publish research or reports about us, the market for our common stock could be severely limited and our stock price could be adversely affected. As a small-cap company, we are more likely than our larger competitors to lack coverage from securities analysts. In addition, even if we receive analyst coverage, if one or more analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. If one or more analysts who elect to cover us issue negative reports or adversely change their recommendations regarding our common stock, our stock price could decline.

Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value.

Because the price per share of our common stock being offered is higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on the assumed public offering price of $$9.00 per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and the net tangible book value of the common stock of $0.25 per share as of July 3, 2021, if you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer dilution of $$6.94 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock, which will be $$2.06 per share following the offering (on an as adjusted basis). See “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase our common stock in the offering.

Future sales of our common stock, other securities convertible into our common stock, or preferred stock could cause the market value of our common stock to decline and could result in dilution of your shares.

Our Board of Directors is authorized, without your approval, to cause us to issue additional shares of our common stock or to raise capital through the creation and issuance of preferred stock, other debt securities convertible into common stock, options, warrants and other rights, on terms and for consideration as our Board of Directors in its sole discretion may determine. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock or of preferred stock could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease significantly. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, on the value of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by large stockholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

In addition, in connection with this offering, each of our officers and directors and each stockholder which holds more than [  ]% of our outstanding shares of common stock have entered into a lock-up agreement that restricts the direct or indirect sale of shares of our common stock beneficially held by such person for 180 days after the closing date of this offering without the prior written consent of the Representative of the underwriters. In addition, such persons have agreed not to directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, grant any option or otherwise transfer or dispose of shares of our common stock for 180 days after the closing date of this offering. The Representative of the underwriters may, at any time, release, or authorize us to release, as the case may be, all or a portion of our common stock subject to the foregoing lock-up provisions. If the restrictions under the lock-up provisions of the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with this offering are waived, shares of our common stock may become available for sale into the market, subject to applicable law, which could reduce the market price for our common stock.

We have no intention of declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.

The decision to pay cash dividends on our common stock rests with our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, unencumbered cash, capital requirements and financial condition. We do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future, as we intend to use any excess cash to fund our operations. Investors in our common stock should not expect to receive dividend income on their investment, and investors will be dependent on the appreciation of our common stock to earn a return on their investment.

Risks Relating to The JOBS Act

The JOBS Act allows us to postpone the date by which we must comply with certain laws and regulations and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC. We cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

We are and we will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1.07 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day of the end of our 2026 fiscal year (five years from our first public offering), (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a “large accelerated filer” (with at least $700 million in public float) under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” as described in further detail in the risk factors below. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on some or all of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. If we avail ourselves of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements, as is currently our plan, our reduced disclosure may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate us and may result in less investor confidence.

Our election not to opt out of the JOBS Act extended accounting transition period may not make our financial statements easily comparable to other companies.

Pursuant to the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company”, we can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) or the SEC. Which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an “emerging growth company”, can adopt the standard for the private company. This may make a comparison of our financial statements with any other public company which is not either an “emerging growth company” nor an “emerging growth company” which has opted out of using the extended transition period, more difficult or impossible as possible different or revised standards may be used.

The JOBS Act also allows us to postpone the date by which we must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC.

The JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies”. The Company meets the definition of an “emerging growth company” and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:

The Company currently intends to take advantage of all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”. The Company has elected not to opt out of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers, which it would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $250 million and annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time are we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosures we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.

General Risk Factors

Higher labor costs due to statutory and regulatory changes could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Various federal and state labor laws, including new laws and regulations enacted in response to COVID-19, govern our relationships with our employees and affect operating costs. These laws include employee classifications as exempt or non-exempt, minimum wage requirements, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, overtime, family leave, workplace health and safety standards, payroll taxes, citizenship requirements and other wage and benefit requirements for employees classified as non-exempt. As our employees are paid at rates set at, or above but related to, the applicable minimum wage, further increases in the minimum wage could increase our labor costs. Significant additional government regulations could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We have a short operating history in an evolving industry and, as a result, our past results may not be indicative of future operating performance.

We have a short operating history in a rapidly evolving industry that may not develop in a manner favorable to our business. Our relatively short operating history makes it difficult to assess our future performance. You should consider our business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter.

Our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to, among other things:

If we fail to address the risks and difficulties that we face, including those associated with the challenges listed above as well as those described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section, our business and our operating results will be adversely affected.

Failure to adequately manage our planned aggressive growth strategy may harm our business or increase our risk of failure.

For the foreseeable future, we intend to pursue an aggressive growth strategy for the expansion of our operations through increased marketing. Our ability to rapidly expand our operations will depend upon many factors, including our ability to work in a regulated environment, establish and maintain strategic relationships with suppliers, and obtain adequate capital resources on acceptable terms. Any restrictions on our ability to expand may have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Accordingly, we may be unable to achieve our targets for sales growth, and our operations may not be successful or achieve anticipated operating results.

Additionally, our growth may place a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, operational, and financial resources and our infrastructure. Our future success will depend, in part, upon the ability of our senior management to manage growth effectively. This will require us to, among other things:

As a result, we may lack the resources to deploy our services on a timely and cost-effective basis. Failure to accomplish any of these requirements could impair our ability to deliver services in a timely fashion or attract and retain new members and customers.

If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.

If we make acquisitions in the future, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired company’s assets, personnel and operations with our own. We do not anticipate that any acquisitions or mergers we may enter into in the future would result in a change of control of the Company. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:

Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with an acquisition, many of which cannot be presently identified. These risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.

We may apply working capital and future funding to uses that ultimately do not improve our operating results or increase the value of our securities.

In general, we have complete discretion over the use of our working capital and any new investment capital we may obtain in the future. Because of the number and variety of factors that could determine our use of funds, our ultimate expenditure of funds (and their uses) may vary substantially from our current intended operating plan for such funds. Our management has broad discretion to use any or all of our available capital reserves. Our capital could be applied in ways that do not improve our operating results or otherwise increase the value of a stockholder’s investment.

The sale of shares by our directors and officers may adversely affect the market price for our shares.

Sales of significant amounts of shares held by our officers and directors, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

Stockholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock or where shares are to be issued to our officers, directors and applicable consultants. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, but subject to NASDAQ rules and regulations (which generally require stockholder approval for any transactions which would result in the issuance of more than 20% of our then outstanding shares of common stock or voting rights representing over 20% of our then outstanding shares of stock), to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders, which may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.

Claims, litigation, government investigations, and other proceedings may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We may be subject to actual and threatened claims, litigation, reviews, investigations, and other proceedings, including proceedings relating to products offered by us and by third parties, and other matters. Any of these types of proceedings, may have an adverse effect on us because of legal costs, disruption of our operations, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, and other factors. The outcomes of these matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. Determining legal reserves and possible losses from such matters involves judgment and may not reflect the full range of uncertainties and unpredictable outcomes. Until the final resolution of such matters, we may be exposed to losses in excess of the amount recorded, and such amounts could be material. Should any of our estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, it could have a material effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, it is possible that a resolution of one or more such proceedings, including as a result of a settlement, could require us to make substantial future payments, prevent us from offering certain products or services, require us to change our business practices in a manner materially adverse to our business, requiring development of non-infringing or otherwise altered products or technologies, damaging our reputation, or otherwise having a material effect on our operations.

We currently have significant indebtedness and may incur additional indebtedness in the future which could reduce our financial flexibility, increase interest expense and adversely impact our operations and our costs.

As of October 6,28, 2021, we had approximately $3.2$8.7 million of indebtedness. Additionally, we may incur significant amounts of indebtedness in the future. Our level of indebtedness could affect our operations in several ways, including the following:

A high level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows to pay the principal or interest on our debt, and future working capital, borrowings or equity financing may not be available to pay or refinance such debt. If we do not have sufficient funds and are otherwise unable to arrange financing, we may have to sell significant assets or have a portion of our assets foreclosed upon which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

* * * * *

For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

We make forward-looking statements under the “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Business,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and in other sections of this prospectus. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In particular, you should consider the numerous risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors.”

While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this prospectus describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and we do not intend to do so.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus in the case of forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus.

Use of Proceeds

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of our shares of common stock in this offering will be $                          ,approximately $13.4 million, assuming an initial public offering price of $$9.00 per share, the midpoint of the estimated price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. Our net proceeds will increase by approximately $$2.1 million if the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of common stock is exercised in full (based on the same assumed offering price as described in the preceding sentence).

A $0.50 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $$9.00 per share of common stock would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $$0.8 million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of 0.25 million shares in the number of shares of common stock offered by us would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately $$2.1 million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price of $$9.00 per share of common stock remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay debt, increase our capitalization and financial flexibility, and create a public market for our Common Stock, and facilitate our future access to the capital markets. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. However, we currently intend to use the net proceeds we receive from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses, marketing and advertising expenses, hiring additional personal to build organizational talent and capital expenditures. We also plan to use a portion of the net proceeds for marketing expenses and for working capital. We plan to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to pay all or a portion of our debt outstanding as of October 6,28, 2021, which includes (i) amounts owed to Crossroads totaling approximately $3.2 million, which bear interest at a rate of 1.42% per month (17.04% per annum) and mature on November 5, 2021; (ii)  amounts owed in connection with an advance payable to Clear Finance of approximately $1.1 million, which bears interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum and matures on October 2, 2021; (iii)  amounts owed under a short-term, unsecured promissory note, with Nina Footwear in the amount of $0.4 million, which is noninterest bearing and due on December 31, 2021; (iv)(iii) amounts owed to related party in amount of $1.3 million (which do not have a stated maturity date and which do no accrue interest); (v)(iv) amounts owed in connection with vendors payable of approximately $1.1$1.2 million; and (vi)(v) amounts due under unsecured promissory notes with Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and other related party stockholders, which are trusts controlled by family members of Ezra Dabah in the amount of $0.9$2.6 million, which are due on January 15, 2022, and which do not accrue interest. As to the indebtedness described above which was incurred within the last 12 months, the Company used all proceeds of such indebtedness for working capital. In addition, we may use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to finance future acquisitions or invest in complementary businesses, services, technologies, or intellectual property rights. However, we do not have any agreements or commitments with respect to any such acquisitions or investments at this time.

Pending our use of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term bank deposits or interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

The foregoing represents our current intentions with respect to the use and allocation of the net proceeds of this offering based upon our present plans and business conditions, but our management will have significant flexibility and discretion in applying the net proceeds. The occurrence of unforeseen events or changed business conditions could result in the application of the net proceeds of this offering in a manner other than as described above.

The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization, liquidity and financial flexibility, create a public market for our common stock, provide the working capital necessary to pay off our debt, expand our marketing activities, and support and expand our growth strategy.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future results of the Company that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry in which the Company operates and the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly under “Risk Factors,” and in other reports we file with the SEC. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus.

The following discussion is based upon our financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingencies. In the course of operating our business, we routinely make decisions as to the timing of the payment of invoices, the collection of receivables, the shipment of products, the fulfillment of orders, the purchase of supplies, and the building of inventory, among other matters. Each of these decisions has some impact on the financial results for any given period. In making these decisions, we consider various factors including contractual obligations, customer satisfaction, competition, internal and external financial targets and expectations, and financial planning objectives. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to sales returns, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-term assets, especially goodwill and intangible assets, assumptions used in the valuation of stock-based compensation, and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company uses a 52–53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday nearest to December 31 each year. The years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019 were 53- and 52-week years, respectively. These years are referred to herein as “2020” and “2019”, respectively. The Company’s fiscal quarters are generally 13 weeks in duration. When the Company’s fiscal year is 53 weeks long, the corresponding fourth quarter is 14 weeks in duration. References to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the second quarter of fiscal 2020, refer to the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively.

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is provided in addition to the accompanying financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. MD&A is organized as follows:

This information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the audited financial statements beginning under “Index to Financial Statements” in this prospectus.

See also “About this Prospectus—Glossary” above, for information on certain of the terms used below.

Overview

We began operations in 2016 as a subscription-based e-commerce company on the proposition of making shopping easy, convenient, and accessible for parents by delivering fashionable and personalized outfits in a box, that their kids will love to wear. kidpik provides kids clothing subscription boxes for boys and girls (sizes 2T-16) that include mix-&-match coordinated outfits that are personalized based on each member’s style preferences. We focus on providing entire outfits from head-to-toe (including shoes) by designing each seasonal collection internally from concept to box.

Staying ahead in an emerging industry requires constant innovation in product and services. After launching with our girls’ subscription box for sizes 4-14 in 2016, we have continued to expand our product offering and marketing channels. We expanded into boys clothes, added larger sizes up to 16 for apparel and 6 youth for shoes, added toddler sizes down to 2T & 3T for apparel and 7 & 8 toddler shoes, launched shop.kidpik.com, where we sell individual apparel items and shoes, launched gift.kidpik.com where we sell pre-styled outfit gift boxes and gift cards, and expanded to sell on Amazon.com with the “Amazon kidpik box”, as well as Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) and Fulfilled by Merchant (FBM) for pre-packs and individual items.

We launched our toddler collection in the first quarter of 2021, introducing sizes 2T and 3T apparel sizes, and added size 7 and 8 toddler shoes for boys and girls which we began to ship in April 2021. We also introduced an “add-on” for all members pursuant to which they can add additional pieces of their choosing to their next box order. We plan to increase the number of add-on item selections offered in an effort to increase the box transaction size and gross margin per box.

As of the date of this prospectus, we provide e-commerce services only throughout the 48 contiguous U.S. states and Army Post Offices (APOs) and Fleet Post Offices (FPOs).

Moving forward, funding permitting, we plan to research and start initiatives to expand our offerings into newborn sizes, husky and plus sizes, and tweens. Additionally, we may open up availability of our subscription boxes to Canada. We plan to continue to analyze the marketplace for interest in new products and may invest in expanding our current lines.

Over the next 12 months, we plan to significantly increase investment in our marketing. We plan to increase spending on our current marketing channels such as Facebook Ads, Google Ads and YouTube Ads, as well as launching new channels such as TikTok and Connected TV and others with the goal of increasing new member growth.

Key Performance Indicators

Key performance indicators that we use to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate financial projections and make strategic decisions include gross margin, shipped items, and average shipment keep rate, each described in greater detail below.

We also use the following metrics to assess the progress of our business, make decisions on where to allocate capital, time and technology investments and assess the near-term and longer-term performance of our business.

Gross Margin

Gross profit is equal to our net sales less cost of goods sold. Gross profit as a percentage of our net sales is referred to as gross margin. Cost of sales consists of the purchase price of merchandise sold to customers and includes import duties and other taxes, freight in, defective merchandise returned from customers, receiving costs, inventory write-offs, and other miscellaneous shrinkage.

Shipped Items

We define shipped items as the total number of items shipped in a given period to our customers through our active subscription, amazon and online website sales.

We believe the rapid increase in subscription shipments for fiscal 2020 versus 2019, and for the first half of 2021 versus 2020, as shown in the table above, was the result of our continued investment in driving our subscription growth through product expansion and consumer marketing.

Average Shipment Keep Rate

Average shipment keep rate is calculated as the total number of items kept by our customers divided by total number of shipped items in a given period.

Factors Affecting Our Future Performance

We believe that our performance and future success depend on several factors that present significant opportunities for us, but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the section of this prospectus titled “Risk Factors.”

Overall Economic Trends

The overall economic environment and related changes in consumer behavior have a significant impact on our business. In general, positive conditions in the broader economy promote customer spending on our sites, while economic weakness, which generally results in a reduction of customer spending, may have a more pronounced negative effect on spending on our sites. Macroeconomic factors that can affect customer spending patterns, and thereby our results of operations, include employment rates, business conditions, changes in the housing market, the availability of credit, interest rates and fuel and energy costs. In addition, during periods of low unemployment, we generally experience higher labor costs.

Growth in Brand Awareness and Site Visits

We intend to continue investing in our brand marketing efforts. Since 2016 we have made significant investments to strengthen the “kidpik” brand through expansion of our social media presence. If we fail to cost-effectively promote our brand or convert impressions into new customers, our net sales growth and profitability would be adversely affected.

Acquisition of New Subscriptions

Our ability to attract new subscriptions is a key factor for our future growth. To date we have successfully acquired new subscriptions through marketing and the development of our brand. As a result, revenue has increased since our launch. If we are unable to acquire sufficient new subscriptions in the future, our revenue might decline. New subscriptions could be negatively impacted if our marketing efforts are less effective in the future. Increases in advertising rates could also negatively impact our ability to acquire new subscriptions cost effectively. Consumer tastes, preferences, and sentiment for our brand may also change and result in decreased demand for our products and services. Laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, marketing and advertising, and consumer protection are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. These requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another or may conflict with other rules or our practices and procedures.

Retention of Existing Subscribers

Our ability to retain subscribers is a also key factor in our ability to generate revenue growth. Most of our current subscribers purchase products through subscription-based plans, where subscribers are billed and sent products on a recurring basis. The recurring nature of this revenue provides us with a certain amount of predictability for future revenue. If customer behavior changes, and customer retention decreases in the future, then future revenue will be negatively impacted.

Inventory Management

To ensure sufficient availability of merchandise, we generally enter into purchase orders well in advance and frequently before apparel trends are confirmed by client purchases. As a result, we are vulnerable to demand and pricing shifts and to suboptimal selection and timing of merchandise purchases. We incur inventory write-offs and changes in inventory reserves that impact our gross margins. Because our merchandise assortment directly correlates to client success, we may at times optimize our inventory to prioritize long-term client success over short-term gross margin impact. Moreover, our inventory investments will fluctuate with the needs of our business. For example, entering new categories or adding new fulfillment centers will require additional investments in inventory.

Investments in Growth

We expect to continue to focus on long-term growth through investments in product offerings and the kids and kids’ parent experience. We expect to make significant investments in marketing to acquire new subscribers and customers. Additionally, we intend to continue to invest in our fulfillment and operating capabilities. In the short term, we expect these investments to increase our operating expenses in the future and cannot be certain that these efforts will grow our customer base or be cost-effective; however, in the long term, we anticipate that these investments will positively impact our results of operations.

Components of Results of Operations

Note that our classification of the various items making up cost of goods sold, shipping and handling, payroll and related costs and general and administrative costs may vary from other companies in our industry and as such, may not be comparable to a competitor’s.

Revenue

We generate revenue in two categories: 1) the sale items in our subscription boxes, and 2) the sale of one-time purchases via shop. kidpik.com, gift.kidpik.com, and other marketplaces. Going forward we will refer to revenue classification as “Subscription boxes” and “one-time purchases”. Net revenue is revenue less promotional discounts, actual customer credits and refunds as well as customer credits and refunds expected to be issued, and sales tax. When we use the term revenue in this prospectus, we are referring to net revenue, unless otherwise stated. We also recognize revenue resulting upon the use of gift cards. Customers who decide to return some or all of the merchandise they receive in each kidpik box, may return such items within 10 days of receipt of the box. Customers are charged for subscription merchandise which is not returned, or which is accepted and are charged for general merchandise (non-subscription) when they purchase such merchandise; however, they are able to receive a refund on returned merchandise. 

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists of the costs of manufacturing merchandise and the expenses of shipping and importing (duty payments) such merchandise to our warehouse for distribution, and inventory write-offs, offset by the recoverable cost of merchandise estimated to be returned.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling includes the costs of shipping merchandise to our customers, and back to us, as well as the cost of fulfillment and return processing, and the materials used for packing.

Payroll and Related Costs

Payroll and related costs represent employee salaries, taxes, benefits and fees to our payroll provider.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consists primarily of marketing, professional fees, Amazon seller fees, bad debt expense and credit card fees, among others.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses consist of depreciation expense for leasehold improvements and equipment.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest expense associated with our lines of credit, outstanding notes payable, and amortization of deferred expense related to our line of credit.

Other Non-Operating Expense

Other non-operating expense consists of lawsuit settlements and the write-off of prepaid fees. 

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists of an estimate of federal and state income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions, uncertain tax positions, and changes in the valuation of our net federal and state deferred tax assets.

Results of Operations

Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, which causes the infectious disease known as COVID-19, was reported in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” on January 30, 2020 and a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. In March and April 2020, many U.S. states and local jurisdictions began issuing ‘stay-at-home’ orders. The U.S. has recently seen decreases in total new COVID-19 infections; however, it is unknown whether such decreases will continue, new strains of the virus will cause numbers to increase, currently projected vaccine efficacy numbers will hold, or new strains of the virus will become dominate in the future, and/or whether jurisdictions in which we operate, will issue new or expanded stay-at-home orders, or how those orders, or others, may affect our operations.

During the majority of March and April 2020, we closed our California warehouse due to stay-at-home orders which were issued in the State of California. We resumed shipping April 17, 2020, following safety protocols and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, which we strictly adhered to. On aggregate basis we lost about two weeks of potential revenue during this period where we were unable to ship products. For the months of March and April 2020, our new member acquisitions were reduced dramatically. Beginning in early May 2020, through the month of June 2020, our new member acquisitions grew significantly, most likely due to stay-at-home orders when consumers shifted to shopping online, before leveling off to expected growth numbers. The full extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business and operations currently cannot be estimated and will depend on a number of factors including the scope and duration of the global pandemic.

Since the start of the pandemic, we have taken steps to prioritize the health and safety of our employees. Most of our employees continue to work remotely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Currently we believe that we have sufficient cash on hand through funds raised in this offering, and will generate sufficient cash through operations, to support our operations for the near term; however, we will continue to evaluate our business operations based on new information as it becomes available and will make changes that we consider necessary in light of any new developments regarding the ongoing pandemic.

Although COVID-19 has had a major impact on businesses around the world, to date, other than in March and April 2020, during which period, as described above, our warehouse was shut down, the pandemic has not had a significant negative impact on our business. Since then, our warehouse returned to working at full capacity; however, the full extent to which COVID-19 will ultimately impact us depends on future unknowable developments, including the duration and spread of the virus, as well as potential new seasonal outbreaks, virus mutations, the efficacy of vaccines, and the willingness of individuals to take such vaccines, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

This increase was mainly a result of (i) an increase in shipping and handling of $1,446,311, which increase was due to a FedEx surcharge and minimum hourly rate increase in our California warehouse — our shipping and handling expenses were 28.1% of total revenue compared to 25.6% of total revenue in the previous period, (ii) an increase in payroll and related costs of $638,559, mainly due to new hires as a result of our organic growth, and increases in salaries, and (iii) a $1,637,767 increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to an increase in marketing expenses, an increase in 3^rd party fees due to increased sales, and an increase in professional fees related to our initial public offering.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations increased from $880,248 for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2020, to $1,194,720 for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2021. The increase in loss from operations was largely due to the increase of $734,612 in general and administrative expenses, the increase of $769,282 in shipping and handling costs, the increase of $446,238 in payroll and related cost, and the $958,816 increase in cost of goods sold, partially offset by the $2,578,822 increase in net sales, each as discussed above.

Loss from operations increased from $1,721,036 for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020, to $2,531,254 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021. The increase in loss from operations was largely due to the increase of $1,637,767 in general and administrative expenses, the increase of $1,446,311 in shipping and handling costs, the increase of $638,559 in payroll and related cost, and the $1,662,743 increase in cost of goods sold, partially offset by the $4,546,999 increase in net sales, each as discussed above.

Other Expenses

The increase in other expenses for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2020, was mainly related to interest expense, which increased by $65,298 and $169,223, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. The increase in interest expenses was due to the increase in our debt balance and related increases in interest expense associated therewith.

Provision for Income Taxes

We had a nominal provision for income taxes during both the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, and June 28, 2020.

Net Loss

We had a net loss of $1,402,718 for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to a net loss of $1,009,132 for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2020, an increase in net loss of $393,586. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the increase of $734,612 in general and administrative expenses, the increase of $769,282 in shipping and handling costs, the increase of $446,238 in payroll and related cost, and the $958,816 increase in cost of goods sold, partially offset by the $2,578,822 increase in net sales, each as discussed in greater detail above.

We had a net loss of $2,900,702 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to a net loss of $1,916,919 for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020, an increase in net loss of $983,783. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the increase of $1,637,767 in general and administrative expenses, the increase of $1,446,311 in shipping and handling costs, the increase of $638,559 in payroll and related cost, and the $1,662,743 increase in cost of goods sold, partially offset by the $4,546,999 increase in net sales, each as discussed in greater detail above.

Year ended January 2, 2021 compared to the year ended December 28, 2019

We launched our toddler collection in the first quarter of 2021, introducing sizes 2T and 3T apparel sizes, and added size 7 and 8 toddler shoes for boys and girls which we began to ship in April 2021. We also introduced an “add-on” for all members pursuant to which they can add additional pieces of their choosing to their next box order. We plan to increase the number of add-on item selections offered in an effort to increase the box transaction size and gross margin per box.

Revenue

Revenue increased by $3.4 million or 25.3% for the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to the year ended December 28, 2019. The revenue breakdown by channel for the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to the year ended December 28, 2019, is summarized in the tables below:

The revenue from subscription boxes for the yearyears ended January 2, 2021 in the amount of $14,941,257,and December 28, 2019, was generated from approximately (a) 70% activeactive subscriptions or $10.5 million;recurring boxes and (b) 30% new members or $4.4 million. Thesubscriptions first box revenue, from subscription boxes for the year ended December 28, 2019is summarized in the amount of $12,557,878, was generated from approximately (a) 77% active subscriptions or $9.7 million; and (b) 23% new members or $2.9 million.tables below: 

The increase in revenue was primarily driven by the introduction of our boys’ collection and an increase in our customer base. The revenue breakdown by product line for the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to the year ended December 28, 2019, are summarized in the tables below:

The number of items shipped to our customers increased by 17.0%, from approximately 1,476,000 for the fiscal year ended 2019, to approximately 1,727,000 for the fiscal year ended 2020. The average shipment keep rate increased to 66.1% in the fiscal year 2020, compared to 60.2% in the fiscal year 2019.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased by $1.8 million or 33.6% for the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to the year ended December 28, 2019, which increase was a direct result of the increase in our subscription box sales.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit as a Percentage of Net Sales

We had gross profit of $9.9 million for the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to gross profit of $8.2 million for the year ended December 28, 2019, which increase was a result of the increase in revenue.

Our gross profit as a percentage of sales was 58.4% for the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to 61.0% for the year ended December 28, 2019. Gross profit decreased as a percentage of sales, mainly due to our promotional strategy introduced in 2020, whereby we incentivized first-time members to subscribe with a promotional discount on their first box, which we plan to continue in 2021. We do not anticipate any significant change in our gross profit as a percentage of sales.

Operating Expenses

The $1.2 million or 9.9% increase in total expenses was mainly due to an increase of $1.4 million or 27.8% in general and administrative expenses, due mainly to an increase in Amazon.com seller fees of $0.56 million, an increase in marketing expenses of $0.53 million and an increase in bad debt expense of $0.75 million, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in shipping and handling costs due to a renegotiated shipping agreement entered into with our shipping partner in the first quarter of 2020. Bad debt is defined as revenue we are unable to collect from our members for items they kept and must send to a collection agency. We also had a $0.2 million increase in payroll and related costs due to a combination of salary increases, new hires and increased cost associated with benefits.

Payroll and related costs as a percentage of revenue decreased by approximately 3.1% for the 2020 fiscal year (17.4%) compared to the 2019 fiscal year (20.5%), due to the leveraging of our increased revenue. Shipping and handling expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased by 8.6% for the 2020 fiscal year (24.9%) compared to 2019 fiscal year (33.5%), due to a favorably renegotiated contract in the first quarter of 2020, with our shipping partner. Within selling, general and administrative expenses, marketing expense as a percentage of revenue remained consistent for both 2020 and 2019 at 15.6% of revenue. Amazon.com seller fees increased from 2.4% of revenue in 2019, compared to 5.2% of revenue in 2020, due to an increase of 111% in Amazon.com revenue over the same period. Bad debt increased by 46% from 2019 to 2020. We are focused on reducing bad debt expense through technology-based strategies and initiatives. We may not be successful in our efforts in that fraud is difficult to control.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations decreased to $3,665,811 for the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to $4,093,997 for the year ended December 28, 2019.

The decrease in loss from operations was largely due to increase in revenue offset by increase of cost of sales and operating expenses.

Other Expenses

Other expenses for the years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, included primarily interest. Interest expense increased due to an increase in the debt we carried during the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to the year ended December 28, 2019. Interest expense as a percentage of sales decreased by 0.3% from 3.3% of sales to 3.0% of sales, and we plan to eliminate our interest expense by paying down our debt with funds raised in this offering.

Provision for Income Taxes

We had a nominal provision for income taxes during both the year ended January 2, 2021 and the year ended December 28, 2019.

Net Loss

We had a net loss of $4.2 million for the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to a net loss of $4.6 million for the year ended December 28, 2019, a decrease of $0.4 million or 9.0% compared to the prior period. The decrease in net loss was mainly due to increase in revenue offset by increases of cost of sales and operating expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

* Line of credit, loan payable and long-term debt.

On July 3, 2021, we had $199,291 of cash on-hand which was comparable to the $133,484 of cash on hand we had at January 2, 2021.

As of July 3, 2021, the Company had total current liabilities of $8,629,559, consisting mainly of accounts payable of $2,464,777, accounts payable to related party of $1,018,167, accrued expenses of $794,687, advance payable of $1,365,063 (discussed below), and line of credit of $2,385,218 (discussed below).

As of July 3, 2021, we had $10,340,038 in total current assets, $8,629,559 in total current liabilities, working capital of $1,710,479 and a total accumulated deficit of $30,872,339.

We have mainly relied on loans from Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and his family (which have all, other than $300,000, been converted into equity as of the date of this prospectus), notes payable (including from Nina Footwear, a related party) and our line of credit and Cash Advance Agreements (each discussed below), as well as revenue generated through our operations, to support our operations since inception. We have primarily used our available cash to pay operating expenses (salaries and other expenses), and for merchandise inventory costs, shipping costs and marketing expenditures. We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures.

We have experienced recurring net losses since inception. We believe that we will continue to incur substantial operating expenses in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to attract new customers, expand the product offerings and enhance technology and infrastructure. These efforts may prove more expensive than we anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing the net revenue and margins sufficiently to offset these expenses. Accordingly, we may not be able to achieve profitability, and we may incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. Our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on our financial statements as of, and for the year ended, January 2, 2021, describing the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of May 17, 2021, the date of their report.

To support our existing operations or any future expansion of business, including the ability to execute our growth strategy, we must have sufficient capital to continue to make investments and fund operations. We have plans to pursue an aggressive growth strategy for the expansion of operations through increased marketing to attract new members and refine the marketing strategy to strategically prioritize customer acquisition channels that we believe will be more successful at attracting new customers and members. We plan to launch new divisions and product lines to help attract new members and retaining existing members. We launched a new boy’s apparel division in the summer of 2020 and a toddler division at the end of March 2021. We also have plans to increase efficiency in distribution and fulfillment capabilities to reduce costs associated with subscription box sales. Our founding and majority stockholder, Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, has provided his written intent to provide continued financial support to the Company for at least one year and a day from the date the financial statements have been issued,September 3, 2021 , the terms of which funding are expected to be in similar form as to the funding previously provided by Mr. Dabah, provided that Mr. Dabah is under no contractual or other obligation to provide such funding and the ultimate terms of such funding is unknown.

We expect that the proceeds from this offering plus our current cash will be sufficient to fund our operations and execute our growth strategy (as discussed above) for at least 12 months after the date of this prospectus. After this offering, we may seek additional funding through equity financings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations with other companies or other strategic transactions. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or rights of our stockholders. Although we continue to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to us to fund continued operations, if at all.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities increased to $3,811,062 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to $1,324,960 of cash used in operating activities during the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020. The increase in our cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.5 million was primarily due to an increase in the net loss in the amount of approximately $1.0 million, as discussed in greater detail above, adjusted for non-cash items totaling $0.2 million, which was offset by the impact from changes in operating assets and liabilities in the amount of approximately $1.7 million. The negative change in our net operating assets and liabilities was mainly driven by the change in inventories of $1.2 million, due to increases in the boy’s apparel division, and the change in accounts payable of $0.8 million, offset by the changed in account receivable of $0.3 million, for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020.

There was no net cash used in investing activities during the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to $2,149 of cash used in investing activities during the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020, which was related to purchases of leasehold improvements and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $3,859,756 for the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $944,017 for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2020, mainly as a result of $2.1 million in convertible notes sold during the current period, of which all but $100,000 have since been converted into common stock and the increase in advance payable in amount of $0.5 million, compared to a decrease in advance payable of $0.3 million in the prior period, relating to our financing transactions.

��

The decrease in our cash used in operating activities of approximately $0.7 million was primarily due to a decrease in net loss in the amount of approximately $0.4 million, as discussed in greater detail above, adjusted for the non-cash items totaling $0.2 million and the positive impact from changes in operating assets and liabilities in the amount of approximately $0.1 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $11,470 during the year ended January 2, 2021, which was related to purchases of leasehold improvements and equipment, compared to $4,193 during the year ended December 28, 2019, was related to purchases of equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $3,615,774 for the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $4,607,460 for the year ended December 28, 2019, mainly as a result of $1.8 million in convertible notes sold during the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to $3.3 million in the comparable period, offset by proceeds from issuance of common stock in amount of $1.0 million during the year ended January 2, 2021, compared to stock subscription receivable of $0.5 million in the comparable period.

Line of Credit

On September 5, 2017, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Crossroads Financial Group, LLC (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). The Loan Agreement had an initial term of two years, and renews thereafter for additional one-year periods automatically, unless Crossroads has provided the Company at least 30 days’ notice of its intent to not renew prior to such applicable automatic renewal date.

We agreed pursuant to the Loan Agreement to provide Crossroads notice of any proposal, term sheet, letter of intent, commitment letter or like agreement of any person to refinance in cash in full the amount owed under the Loan Agreement (a “Competing Proposal”). In the event Crossroads does not match, in all material respects, such Competing Proposal within thirty business days of its receipt of such Competing Proposal then we can, subject to payment of the early termination fee discussed above, repay the amounts owed under the Loan Agreement. The early termination fee is waived if the early termination event results in a repayment in full the amount owed under the loan agreement through use of the proceeds from the sale of our stock.

The Loan Agreement includes customary covenants and events of default, including if Ezra Dabah, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and his family cease being the direct or indirect beneficial owner of more than 50% of our voting stock, or if any other person or entity shall become the direct or indirect owner of over 45% of our voting stock or if Mr. Dabah or Adir Katzav our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer cease to be employed by the Company.

SBA Loan

As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) to aid businesses through the current economic conditions. The CARES Act provided businesses with loans from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) based on a calculation provided by the SBA. In 2020, the Company received $442,352 in funding from these loans. The CARES Act provides a provision allowing all or a portion of the loan to be forgiven by the SBA based on certain criteria. Any unforgiven portion will be repaid over a two-year period with a 10-month deferral on payments yielding 1% interest. The Company applied for forgiveness and on August 2, 2021, we received notification and confirmation that our loan, including related accrued interest, was forgiven in its entirety by the SBA.

Need for Future Funding

As discussed above, our current capital resources, combined with the net proceeds from the offering, are expected to be sufficient for us to fund operations for the next 12 months. We may need funding in addition to the funding raised in this offering, to support our operations in the future. We may also seek to acquire additional businesses or assets in the future, which may require us to raise funding. We currently anticipate such funding, if required, being raised through the offering of debt or equity. Such additional financing, if required, may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. If debt financing is available and obtained, our interest expense may increase and we may be subject to the risk of default, depending on the terms of such financing. If equity financing is available and obtained it may result in our stockholders experiencing significant dilution. If such financing is unavailable, we may be forced to curtail our business plan, which may cause the value of our securities to decline in value.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements and do not have any holdings in variable interest entities.

Internal Controls

Maintaining effective internal controls over financial reporting is necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements. Although a formal evaluation of our internal controls and procedures is not yet required pursuant to SEC rules or requirements, during the preparation of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified various significant deficiencies that when combined rise to a material weakness in the general controls relating to our information technology (IT), which related to insufficient documentation related to risk assessment, privileged access and application. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Without formal documentation, written policies and documented controls, the Company could be vulnerable to unauthorized changes, errors, and disclosure of financial information; and could jeopardize the integrity of critical business and financial information.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reporting values of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The more significant estimates and assumptions are those used in determining the recoverability of long-lived assets and inventory obsolescence. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high-quality financial institutions. At times, the Company’s cash balances may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured limits. The Company monitors the financial position of the financial institutions it uses and has not experienced any losses to date. As of July 3, 2021, January 2, 2021 and December 28, 2019, there were no amounts in exceed of FDIC insured limits.

Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from three sources; its subscription box sales, Amazon business and online website sales. Net revenue is revenue less promotional discounts, actual customer credits and refunds as well as customer credits and refunds expected to be issued, and sales tax to determine net revenue. Customers are charged for subscription merchandise which is not returned, or which is accepted and are charged for general merchandise (non-subscription) when they purchase such merchandise. Customers can receive a refund on returned merchandise for which return shipping is the cost of the Company.

Revenue for subscription box sales is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred and accepted by the client. Customers have a maximum of ten days from the date the product is delivered to return any items in the delivery. Control is transferred either when a customer checks out online or automatically 10 days after the goods are delivered, whichever occurs first. Upon checkout or the 10-day period, the amount of the order not returned is recognized as revenue. Payment is due upon checkout or the end of the 10-day period after the goods are delivered, whichever occurs first.

Revenue for online website sales and Amazon sales is recognized when control of the promised goods are transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that depicts the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods. Control is transferred at the time of shipment. Upon shipment, the total amount of the order is recognized as revenue. Payment for online website sales and Amazon sales are due upon time of order.

The provision for anticipated sales returns consists of both contractual return rights and discretionary authorized returns.

Estimates of discretionary authorized returns for sales other than subscription sales, discounts and claims are based on (1) historical rates, (2) specific identification of outstanding returns not yet received from customers and outstanding discounts and claims and (3) estimated returns, discounts and claims expected, but not yet finalized with customers. Actual returns, discounts and claims in any future period are inherently uncertain and thus may differ from estimates recorded. If actual or expected future returns, discounts or claims were significantly greater or lower than reserves established, a reduction or increase to revenue would be recorded in the period in which such determination was made.

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight fulfillment before control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as shipping and handling cost in the statement of operations.

Taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue producing transaction and are collected by the Company from a customer are excluded from revenue and cost of goods sold in the statement of operations.

Restricted cash: Restricted cash balance consists of cash advanced received by the Company from Cash Advance Agreements. The cash advances can only be used for purchases of products and services necessary to operate the Company, as defined by the agreement.

Inventory: Inventory, consisting primarily of finished goods, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In addition, the Company capitalizes freight, duty and other supply chain costs in inventory. These costs are included in the cost of sales as inventory is sold.

Leasehold improvements and equipment: Leasehold improvements and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation for equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the life of the improvement on a straight-line method. Expenditures that extend the useful lives of the equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in operations.

Intangible assets: Intangible assets consist of capitalized website development costs and are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from one to three years. The Company periodically evaluates the reasonableness of the useful life of the intangible assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In performing a review for impairment, the Company compares the carrying value of the assets with their estimated future undiscounted pre-tax cash flows. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, the loss would be recognized during that period. The impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the assets’ carrying value and the present value of estimated net cash flows or comparable market values, giving consideration to recent operating performance and pricing trends. As a result of its review, the Company recorded no impairment charges during the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, and the years 2020 and 2019.
