Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and follow the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted. These financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as our annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of our financial information. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or for any other interim period or for any other future year. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 has been derived from audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on March 10, 2017 with the SEC. Our critical accounting policies are revenue recognition, property and equipment, inventory and income taxes. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Segments Our Chief Executive Officer manages our operations on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources. Thus, we have a single operating segment which is our single reportable segment. Our principal operations and decision-making functions are in the United States. 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition, provisions for doubtful accounts, credit card chargebacks, sales returns, inventory write-downs, stock-based compensation, legal contingencies, depreciable lives and income taxes, including required valuation allowances. We base our estimates on historical experience, projections for future performance and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Income taxes There was no unrecognized tax benefit for any period presented. We recognize interest and/or penalties related to all tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent that accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. No interest or penalties have been accrued for any period presented. We have weighed both positive and negative evidence and have determined that there is a need for a valuation allowance due to the existence of three years of historical cumulative losses, which we considered significant verifiable negative evidence. As of June 30, 2017 , we maintain a valuation allowance on substantially all of our deferred tax assets. Seasonality Seasonal and cyclical influences impact our business volume. A significant portion of our sales are realized in conjunction with traditional retail holidays with the largest sales volume in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. Our offering of custom gifts for the holidays combined with consumers’ continued shift to online purchasing drive this trend. As a result of this seasonality, our revenue in each of the first three quarters of the year is generally substantially lower than our revenue in the fourth quarter of each year, and we expect this trend to continue in the foreseeable future. Recent accounting pronouncements In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 will clarify and reduce both (i) diversity in practice and (ii) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, to a change to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment award. This guidance will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. We are currently evaluating the impact of this updated standard, but we do not believe this update will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2016-18 requires restricted cash and cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows under a retrospective transition approach. The guidance will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and we do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 eliminates the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments for debt prepayment or extinguishment costs, the maturing of a zero-coupon bond, the settlement of contingent liabilities arising from a business combination, proceeds from insurance settlements, distributions from certain equity method investees and beneficial interests obtained in a financial asset securitization. ASU 2016-15 designates the appropriate cash flow classification, including requirements to allocate certain components of these cash receipts and payments among operating, investing and financing activities. The retrospective transition method, requiring adjustment to all comparative periods presented, is required unless it is impracticable for some of the amendments, in which case those amendments would be treated prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The guidance will become effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-04, Recognition of Breakage for Certain Prepaid Stored-Value Products . The ASU exempts prepaid gift certificates from the guidance on extinguishing financial liabilities. The gift certificates will be subject to breakage accounting consistent with ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Breakage should only be recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of the recognized breakage amount will not subsequently occur. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and is applied either using a modified retrospective transition method or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to make an accounting policy election to either estimate forfeitures on stock-based payment awards as previously required, or to recognize forfeitures as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2017 and elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur, and the impact of that change in accounting was recorded as a $0.2 million cumulative effect adjustment to increase additional paid-in-capital and accumulated deficit. The other provisions of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new lease guidance also simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Our preliminary analysis indicates that, for our one remaining operating lease that will be in effect, upon adoption of Topic 842, we will record an estimated lease right-of-use asset of $1.9 million and a corresponding lease liability of $1.9 million . We are still evaluating the qualitative and quantitative disclosures that will be required when we adopt the standard. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330) . ASU 2015-11 requires inventory to be subsequently measured using the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby eliminating the market value approach. Net realizable value is defined as the “estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.” ASU 2015-11 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and is applied prospectively. We adopted ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017, and the standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern , which explicitly requires management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Management will be required to assess, in each interim and annual period, if there is substantial doubt of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern as evidenced by relevant known or knowable conditions including an entity's ability to meet its future obligations. Management will be required to provide disclosures regardless of whether substantial doubt is alleviated by management's plans. We adopted this standard effective December 31, 2016 and it did not have an impact on our required disclosures. Management prepared a memorandum, which concluded that the Company was a going concern and that no additional disclosures were required. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), that requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018. Early application is not permitted. The new standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Our preliminary analysis indicates that since the majority of our revenue is settled through payments by credit cards and since we have no future performance obligation after delivery occurs, revenue recognized under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606 will be very similar to revenue recognized under ASC 605 ( Revenue Recognition) and, therefore, little to no change will be required. As we complete our implementation analysis, if any change in accounting is required, we anticipate applying the full retrospective transition approach. Furthermore, we have re-evaluated gross versus net revenue presentation under ASC 605 and, as disclosed in Note 2 - Prior Year Revision, we revised our Consolidated Statements of Operations for an error that was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . In our evaluation of the new standard, the accounting for gross versus net presentation was also reviewed and the treatment under Topic 606 will be the same as ASC 605. We anticipate that our footnote disclosures will increase, and we are still evaluating the methodology for providing disaggregated revenue disclosures for both annual and interim periods. |
