BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND 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 Infant®, SwaddleMe®, and Born Free®. When used herein, the terms the “Company,” we,” “us,” and “our” mean Summer Infant, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying interim, condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2017. It is the Company’s policy to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. The interim condensed 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts. 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 to the selling price of the Company’s 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 expenses in the accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge as of the date the financial statements are published of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts represents adjustments to customer trade accounts receivable for amounts deemed uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts increases general and administrative expenses and reduces gross trade receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The allowance is based on our assessment of the business environment, customers’ financial condition, historical trends, customer payment practices, receivable aging and customer disputes. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,241 at September 30, 2017 and $63 at December 31, 2016. We will continue to proactively review our credit risks and adjust customer terms to reflect the current environment. 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 expected net proceeds from the disposals of excess inventory are less than the carrying cost of the merchandise. Income Taxes Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred income tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards. 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, that it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. The net deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented as noncurrent. The Company follows the appropriate 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. Net (Loss) Income Per Share Basic (loss) earnings per share for the Company are computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted shares. Translation of Foreign Currencies All assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, each of whose functional currency is in its local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the quarter and the income and expense accounts of these affiliates have been translated at average rates prevailing during each respective quarter. Resulting translation adjustments are made to a separate component of stockholders’ equity within accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the accompanying interim, condensed consolidated statement of operations. Recently Issued 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. The Company is still finalizing its analysis to quantify the adoption impact of the provisions of the new standard, but does not currently expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Based on the evaluation of the Company’s current contracts and revenue streams, most will be recorded consistently under both the current and new standard. Accordingly, the Company has elected to use the Modified Retrospective Transition Method to apply the new guidance. The FASB has issued, and may issue in the future, interpretive guidance which may cause the Company’s evaluation to change. The Company believes it is following an appropriate timeline to allow for proper recognition, presentation and disclosure upon adoption effective the beginning of fiscal year 2018. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This guidance requires 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 is 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. |
