BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation – . Use of Estimates – The future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial position continue to remain unclear. T “ ” Reclassifications – Changes in Accounting Policy – The new standard provides a number of practical expedients for transition and policy elections for ongoing accounting. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients”, which permits the Company to not reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The standard provides policy election options for recognition exemption for short-term leases and separation of lease and non-lease components. The Company elected the “short-term lease recognition” exemption and elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all underlying asset classes. The Company determines lease and non-lease components based on observable information, including terms provided by the lessor. The adoption of the new accounting standard resulted in the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities of approximately $983,000 and $1.38 million, respectively, for operating leases as of July 1, 2019. For purposes of adopting this new guidance, the Company’s most appropriate option for an incremental borrowing rate assumption was to assume that it would be based on the underlying fully-collateralized borrowing rate in effect within the Company’s credit facility with White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC (“White Oak”). Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s credit facility with White Oak (the “White Oak Credit Facility”), as of July 1, 2019, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for funds in the form of non-revolving advances would have been White Oak’s one-month LIBOR (2.3878%) plus 4.75%, or 7.1378%. Management believes that this rate represents the incremental borrowing rate that would have been in effect if the Company had borrowed such funds from its White Oak Credit Facility on July 1, 2019. Currently, the Company has no other material leases that qualify as finance, variable, or short-term leases. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or consolidated statement of cash flows. Subsequent to the date of adoption, the Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the agreement. Operating leases are recognized as ROU assets and the related obligations are recognized as current or noncurrent liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Leases with an initial lease term of one year or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. ROU assets, which represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset, and lease liabilities, which represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs incurred and excludes lease incentives. Certain of the Company’s leases contain renewal and/or termination options. The Company recognizes renewal or termination options as part of its ROU assets and lease liabilities when the Company has the unilateral right to renew or terminate and it is reasonably certain these options will be exercised. The Company determines the present value of lease payments based on the implicit rate, which may be explicitly stated in the lease if available or the Company’s estimated collateralized incremental borrowing rate based on the term of the lease. For operating leases, lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some leases could require the Company to pay non-lease components, which may include taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other expenses applicable to the leased property, and are primarily considered variable costs. When applicable, such costs are expensed as incurred. For additional information regarding the Company’s accounting for lease arrangements, see Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies.” Cash and Cash Equivalents – Restricted Cash Restricted Cash – White Oak The Company has full access to its cash balances without restriction following the period of time such cash is held by White Oak. For additional information regarding the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility, see Note 10, “Line of Credit.” The reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, consists of the following as of the dates presented: June 30, 2020 2019 Cash and cash equivalents $ 13,993,032 $ 12,465,483 Restricted cash 624,202 541,062 Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ 14,617,234 $ 13,006,545 Concentration of Credit Risk – Trade receivables potentially subject the Company to credit risk. Payment terms on trade receivables for the Company’s Traditional segment customers are generally between 30 and 90 days, . The Company extends credit to its customers based upon a number of factors, including an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and credit history that is verified through trade association reference services, the customer’s payment history with the Company, the customer’s reputation in the trade, and/or an evaluation of the Company’s opportunity to introduce its moissanite jewels or finished jewelry featuring moissanite to new or expanded markets. See Note 13, “Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk”, for further discussion of credit risk within trade accounts receivable. Accounts Receivable Reserves – The following are reconciliations of the allowance for sales returns balances as of the periods presented: Year Ended June 30, 2020 2019 Balance, beginning of year $ 746,000 $ 648,000 Additions charged to operations 4,710,943 4,533,077 Sales returns (4,752,943 ) (4,435,077 ) Balance, end of year $ 704,000 $ 746,000 The second reserve is an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the failure of the Company’s customers to make required payments. This allowance reduces trade accounts receivable to an amount expected to be collected. The Company generally uses an internal collection effort, which may include its sales personnel as it deems appropriate. After all internal collection efforts have been exhausted, the Company generally writes off the account receivable. Any accounts with significant balances are reviewed separately to determine an appropriate allowance based on the facts and circumstances of the specific account. on these criteria, management determined that allowances for doubtful accounts receivable of $79,000 and $249,000 at June 30, 2020 and 2019, The following are reconciliations of the allowance for doubtful accounts balances as of the periods presented: Year Ended June 30, 2020 2019 Balance, beginning of year $ 249,000 $ 233,000 Additions charged to operations 8,788 27,056 Write-offs, net of recoveries (178,788 ) (11,056 ) Balance, end of year $ 79,000 $ 249,000 Although the Company believes that its reserves are adequate, if the financial condition of its customers deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, or if it underestimates the allowances required, additional allowances may be necessary, Inventories - Inventory costs include direct material and labor, inbound freight, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, and warehousing costs. Each accounting period, the Company evaluates the valuation and classification of inventories including the need for potential adjustments to inventory-related reserves, which also include significant estimates by management. The Company’s inventory-related valuation allowances are recorded in the aggregate rather than an individual item approach for each obsolescence, rework, and shrinkage valuation allowance. Property and Equipment – Machinery and equipment 5 to 12 years Computer hardware 3 to 5 years Computer software 3 years Furniture and fixtures 5 to 10 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term Intangible Assets – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value and is recognized as an operating expense in the period in which the determination is made. Assets to be disposed are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell once the held-for-sale criteria are met. As of June 30, 2020, the Company did not identify any indicators of long-lived asset impairment. In addition to the recoverability assessment, the Company routinely reviews the remaining estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets. Any reduction in the useful-life assumption will result in increased depreciation and amortization expense in the period when such determination is made, as well as in subsequent periods. Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) The Company has a variable consideration element related to most of its contracts in the form of product return rights. At the time revenue is recognized, an allowance for estimated returns is established and any change in the allowance for returns is charged against net sales in the current period. For the Company’s customers (excluding those of charlesandcolvard.com), the returns policy generally allows for the return of jewels and finished jewelry with a valid reason for credit within 30 days of shipment. The Company’s charlesandcolvard.com customers can return purchases for any reason within 60 days of such purchase in accordance with the Company’s returns policy as disclosed on the charlesandcolvard.com website. Periodically, the Company ships loose jewel goods and finished goods to Traditional segment customers on consignment terms. Under these consignment terms, the customer assumes the risk of loss and has an absolute right of return for a specified period that typically ranges from six months to one year. The Company’s Online Channels segment and Traditional segment customers are generally required to make payments on consignment shipments within 30 to 60 days upon the customer informing the Company that it will keep the inventory. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize revenue on these consignment transactions until the earlier of (i) (ii) (iii) The Company presents disaggregated net sales by its Online Channels segment and its Traditional segment for both finished jewelry and loose jewels product lines. The Company also presents disaggregated net sales by geographic area between the United States and international locations. For financial reporting purposes, disaggregated net sales amounts are presented in Note 3, “Segment Information and Geographic Data.” Returns Asset and Refund Liabilities The Company maintains a returns asset account and a refund liabilities account to record the effects of its estimated product returns and sales returns allowance. The Company’s returns asset and refund liabilities are updated at the end of each financial reporting period and the effect of such changes are accounted for in the period in which such changes occur. The Company estimates anticipated product returns in the form of a refund liability based on historical return percentages and current period sales levels. The Company also accrues a related returns asset for goods expected to be returned in salable condition, less any expected costs to recover such goods, including return shipping costs that the Company may incur. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s refund liabilities balances were $704,000 and $746,000, respectively, and are included as allowances for sales returns within accounts receivable, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s returns asset balances were $289,000 and $279,000, respectively, and are included within prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets Cost of Goods Sold – Advertising Costs – The Company also offers a cooperative advertising program to certain of its distributor and retail partners that reimburses, via a credit towards future purchases, a portion of their marketing costs based on the customers’ net purchases from the Company and is subject to the customer providing documentation of all advertising performed that includes the Company’s products. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, these approximate amounts were $491,000 and $381,000, respectively, and are included as a component of sales and marketing expenses. Advertising expenses, inclusive of the cooperative advertising program, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, were approximately $3.96 million and $2.82 million, respectively. Sales and Marketing – charlesandcolvard.com, LLC, wholly owned operating subsidiary. General and Administrative – Research and Development – Stock-Based Compensation – The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based awards based on estimated fair values on the date of grant. Fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model is estimated on the date of grant utilizing certain assumptions for dividend yield, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected lives of the awards, as follows: Dividend Yield. Expected Volatility. Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a financial variable such as share price has fluctuated (historical volatility) or is expected to fluctuate (expected volatility) during a period. ; Risk-Free Interest Rate. Expected Lives. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the Company’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, the Company is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rates of stock-based awards and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating the Company’s forfeiture rates, the Company analyzed its historical forfeiture rates, the remaining lives of unvested stock-based awards, and the number of vested awards as a percentage of total awards outstanding. If the Company’s actual forfeiture rates are materially different from its estimates, or if the Company re-evaluates the forfeiture rates in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what the Company has recorded in the current period. Income Taxes – The Net (Loss) Income per Common Share – The following table reconciles the differences between the basic and diluted net (loss) income per share presentations: Year Ended June 30, 2020 2019 Numerator: Net (loss) income $ (6,162,083 ) $ 2,275,467 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 28,644,133 21,860,699 Effect of dilutive securities - 250,524 Diluted 28,644,133 22,111,223 Net (loss) income per common share: Basic $ (0.22 ) $ 0.10 Diluted $ (0.22 ) $ 0.10 For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, stock options to purchase approximately 2.81 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share because the effect of inclusion of such amounts would be anti-dilutive to net loss per common share. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, stock options to purchase approximately 2.33 million were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per common share because the exercise price of the stock options was greater than the average market price of the common shares or the effect of inclusion of such amounts would be anti-dilutive to net income per common share. The quantity of 162,500 shares of un Immaterial Correction of an Error de minimis Related balances within Note 12, “Income Taxes”, associated with the federal tax benefit on state income taxes under uncertain tax positions and the related valuation allowance have also been recast Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments to provide more information in financial statements about expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. In December 2019, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the accounting for income taxes that is intended to reduce the complexity while maintaining or improving the usefulness of tax disclosure information in financial statements. In March 2020, in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (“IBORs”), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the FASB issued new guidance to ease the burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of referenced interest rate reform on financial reporting. The new guidance is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As described in more detail in Note 10, “Line of Credit”, borrowings under the Company’s line of credit are based on a rate equal to the one-month LIBOR. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had not borrowed against its line of credit, and therefore, is not subject to recognizing or disclosing any effect of referenced rate reform as of its fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. |
