SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations The Company designs, markets and distributes branded juvenile health, safety and wellness products that are sold globally to large national retailers as well as independent retailers, primarily in North America. The Company currently markets its products in several product categories including monitoring, safety, nursery, baby gear, and feeding products. Most products are sold under our core brand names of Summer®, SwaddleMe®, and Born Free®. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation It is the Company's policy to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. All dollar amounts included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are in thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share amounts. Fiscal Year The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31 of each calendar year. There were fifty two weeks in the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition The Company records revenue when all of the following occur: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of provisions for returns and allowances, customer discounts, and other sales related discounts. The Company bases its estimates for discounts, returns and allowances on negotiated customer terms and historical experience. Customers do not have the right to return products unless the products are defective. The Company records a reduction of sales for estimated future defective product deductions based on contractual terms and historical experience. Sales incentives or other consideration given by the Company to customers that are considered adjustments of the selling price of products, such as markdowns, are reflected as reductions of revenue. Sales incentives and other consideration that represent costs incurred by the Company for assets or services received, such as the appearance of the Company's products in a customer's national circular ad, are reflected as selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. 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 certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include money market accounts and investments with an original maturity of three months or less. At times, the Company possesses cash balances in excess of federally-insured limits. Trade Receivables Trade receivables are carried at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers' ability to pay and current economic trends. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible. Amounts are considered to be uncollectable based upon historical experience and management's evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are as follows: For the December 30, December 31, Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning of period $ $ Charges to costs and expenses Account write-offs and other ) ) Allowance for doubtful accounts, end of period $ $ Inventory Valuation Inventory is comprised mostly of finished goods and some component parts and is stated at the lower of cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or net realizable value. The Company regularly reviews slow-moving and excess inventories, and writes down inventories to net realizable value if the ultimate expected net proceeds from the disposals of excess inventory are less than the carrying cost of the merchandise. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company owns the tools and molds used in the production of its products by third party manufacturers. Capitalized mold costs include costs incurred for the pre-production design and development of the molds. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using either straight-line or accelerated methods. Long-Lived Assets with Finite Lives The Company reviews long-lived assets with finite lives for impairment on an asset group level whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when its carrying amount exceeds both the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition and the assets' fair value. Long-lived assets include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is charged by the Company to current operations. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets The Company accounts for intangible assets in accordance with accounting guidance that requires that intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested annually for impairment and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company's annual impairment testing is conducted in the fourth quarter of every year. The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the asset's fair value to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the excess of the carrying amount over fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and the adjusted carrying amount becomes the assets' new cost basis. Management also evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company determined that certain indefinite-lived intangible assets were impaired. See Note 3 for a discussion on the fiscal year 2016 impairment charge. No impairment charge was recorded for fiscal 2017. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" which includes a framework for measuring fair value and expanded related disclosures. Broadly, the framework requires fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The standard established a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3—Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. The Company maintains policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, the Company utilizes third party specialists that review valuation, including independent price validation. The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short and long-term borrowings. Because of their short maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximate fair value. The carrying value of long-term borrowings approximates fair value since the stated rate is similar to rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The Company's assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include long-lived assets and finite-lived intangibles. The Company tests its indefinite-lived assets for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable or that the carrying value may exceed its fair value. The resulting fair value measurements are considered to be Level 3 inputs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of an indefinite lived asset was lower than its carrying value and the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $2,993 which reduced the value of the intangible asset to approximately $915, as more fully described in "Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Intangible Assets." Income taxes Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. The Company follows the applicable guidance relative to uncertain tax positions. This standard provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Uncertain tax positions must meet a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. Translation of Foreign Currencies The assets and liabilities of the Company's European, Canadian, Israeli, and Asian operations have been translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates and the income and expense accounts of these subsidiaries have been translated at average rates prevailing during each respective year. Resulting translation adjustments are made to a separate component of stockholders' equity within accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Shipping Costs Shipping costs to customers are included in selling expenses and amounted to approximately $1,591 and $1,477 for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Advertising Costs The Company charges advertising costs to selling expense as incurred. Advertising expense, which consists primarily of promotional and cooperative advertising allowances provided to customers, was approximately $11,970 and $12,863 for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Segment Information Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate, discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one operating segment utilizing an omni-channel distribution strategy. Net Loss Per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share for the Company is computed by dividing net loss by the dilutive weighted average shares outstanding which includes: the dilutive impact (using the "treasury stock" method) of "in the money" stock options and unvested restricted shares issued to employees. Options to purchase 1,052,026 and 1,023,825 shares of the Company's common stock and 331,516 and 268,432 of restricted shares were not included in the calculation, due to the fact that these instruments were anti-dilutive for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" providing new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This guidance was originally proposed to be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, however in July 2015, the FASB approved the delay in this guidance until reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Under the standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has evaluated the new standard against its existing accounting policies and practices, including reviewing purchase orders, invoices, shipping terms, conducting questionnaires with its sales team and reviewing other agreements and contracts with customers. Based on the evaluation of the Company's current contracts and revenue streams, the Company does not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow on an ongoing basis. The Company expects to have enhanced disclosures related to disaggregation of revenue sources and accounting policies. The Company has elected to use the modified retrospective transition method to apply the new guidance and will adopt the new revenue guidance effective the first day of fiscal 2018 and the impact was immaterial. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory." This guidance required inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 and the impact on its consolidated financial statements was immaterial. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." The guidance simplified the accounting and financial reporting of the income tax impact of stock-based compensation arrangements. This guidance required excess tax benefits to be recorded as a discrete item within income tax expense rather than additional paid-in-capital. In addition, excess tax benefits are required to be classified as cash from operating activities rather than cash from financing activities. The Company adopted this guidance as of the beginning of fiscal 2017. The Company also elected to continue to estimate forfeitures, as permitted by ASU 2016-09, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. The impact of adopting this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 was immaterial to the Company's 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 (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). In an effort to reduce diversity in practice, ASU 2016-15 provides solutions for eight specific statement of cash flow classification issues. The ASU is effective for public companies beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has evaluated the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and expects the impact to be immaterial. Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. |
