| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. Basis of Presentation, Liquidity and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These condensed statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019 (“Fiscal 2019”), as filed with the SEC on June 25, 2019. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, including recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2019, the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the expected results of operations for the full year or any future period. In this regard, the Company’s business is highly seasonal, with approximately 66.2% of revenues in Fiscal 2019 occurring in the five consecutive calendar months from September through January. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2019, the Company has further expanded its distribution channels and invested in necessary overhead in anticipation of the Fiscal 2020 peak sales season. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2019 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. Liquidity Sources of funding to meet prospective cash requirements during Fiscal 2020 include the Company’s existing cash balances, cash flow from operations, and borrowings under the Company’s debt arrangements as discussed in Note 3. We may need to seek additional debt or equity capital, however, to address the seasonal nature of our working capital needs, increase the scale of our business and provide a cash reserve against contingencies. There can be no assurance we will be able to raise this additional capital. See Note 10 for subsequent events. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that a change in the Company’s estimates could occur in the near term as additional or new information becomes available. Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock The Company computes net income (loss) per share of common stock in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260. ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is measured as the income or loss available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS, but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common stock equivalents (e.g., convertible securities, options, and warrants) as if such securities had been converted into common stock at the beginning of the periods presented. Securities that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS include: (i) employee stock options to purchase 94,000 shares of common stock for the period ended June 30, 2019; and (ii) employee stock options to purchase 125,000 shares and warrants to purchase 2,000 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Concentrations of Risk ASC 825-10-50-20 Cash: The Company maintains cash depository accounts with financial institutions. The amount on deposit with several financial institutions exceeded the $250,000 federally insured limit as of June 30, 2019. The Company has not historically incurred any losses related to these deposits. The financial institutions are highly rated, financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal. Customers and Accounts Receivable: For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, one customer, Amazon.com, represented 33.8% and 41.8%, respectively, of the Company’s net revenue. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had one customer, Amazon.com that represented 25.3% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had two customers, Amazon.com and Target, which represented 44.3% and 12.0%, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company believes that all receivables from these customers are collectible. Suppliers: For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company purchased inventories and other inventory-related items from one supplier totaling $1.3 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company purchased inventories and other inventory-related items from one supplier totaling $2.7 million. The purchase of inventories and other inventory-related items is tied to the anticipated timing and amount of sales for our highly seasonal business and payment terms with our suppliers. The Company’s primary contract manufacturers are located in China. As a result, the Company may be subject to political, currency, regulatory, transportation/shipping and weather/natural disaster risks. Although the Company believes alternate sources of manufacturing could be obtained, these risks and any potential loss of supply could have an adverse impact on operations, especially in the short term. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820 also provides a hierarchy for determining fair value, which emphasizes the use of observable market data whenever available. The three broad levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows, with the highest priority given to Level 1 as these are the most reliable, and the lowest priority given to Level 3. Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data, including model-derived valuations. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The carrying value of financial instruments including cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates their fair value at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments. The Company’s intellectual property liability carrying value was determined utilizing Level 3 inputs. As discussed below in Notes 3 and 4, this liability was incurred in conjunction with the Company’s strategic alliance with Scotts Miracle-Gro. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the fair value of the Company's sale of the intellectual property liability was estimated using the discounted cash flow method, which is based on expected future cash flows, discounted to present value using a discount rate of 15%. As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any financial assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis, subsequent to initial recognition. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company sells its products to retailers and directly to consumers. Retailer sales terms vary by customer, but generally range from net 30 days to net 60 days, while direct-to-consumer transactions are primarily paid by credit card. Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value and net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company's allowance estimate is based on a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable, which resulted in an allowance of $100,000 and $89,000 at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Other Receivables In conjunction with the Company’s processing of credit card transactions for its direct-to-consumer sales activities and as security with respect to the Company’s performance for credit card refunds and charge backs, the Company is required to maintain a cash reserve with Fidelity Information Services, the Company’s credit card processor. This reserve is equal to 5% of the credit card sales processed during the previous six months. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the balance in this reserve account was $144,000 and $207,000, respectively. The other receivables also includes $585,000 for the estimate leasehold improvement reimbursement from the landlord of the new lease discussed within the lease section. Advertising and Production Costs The Company expenses all production costs related to advertising, including print, television, and radio advertisements when the advertisement has been broadcast or otherwise distributed. In contrast, the Company records media and marketing costs related to its direct-to-consumer advertisements, inclusive of postage and printing costs incurred in conjunction with mailings of direct-response catalogues, and related direct-response advertising costs, in accordance with ASC 340-20-25 Reporting on Advertising Costs As the Company has continued to expand its retail distribution channel, the Company has expanded its advertising to include online gateway and portal advertising, as well as placement in third party catalogues. Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, were as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, (in thousands)
2019
2018
Direct-to-consumer $ 83 $ 89
Retail 416 372
Other 13 15
Total advertising expense $ 512 $ 476 As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company had deferred $37,000 and $3,000, respectively, related to such media and advertising costs which include the catalogue costs described above. The costs are included within the “prepaid expenses and other” line of the balance sheets. Inventory Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, determined on the basis of standard costing, which approximates the first-in, first-out method, or net realizable value. When the Company is the manufacturer, raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead are included in inventory costs. The Company records the raw materials at delivered cost. Standard labor and manufacturing overhead costs are applied to the finished goods based on normal production capacity. A majority of the Company’s products are manufactured overseas and are recorded at standard cost, which includes product costs for purchased and manufactured products, and freight and transportation costs for inbound freight from manufacturers. Inventory values at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 were as follows:
June 30,
March 31,
2019 (in thousands)
2019 (in thousands)
Finished goods $ 5,900 $ 7,071
Raw materials 1,484 1,369
$ 7,384 $ 8,440 The Company determines an inventory obsolescence reserve based on management’s historical experience and establishes reserves against inventory according to the age of the product. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company had reserved $112,000 and $126,000, respectively, for inventory obsolescence. The inventory values are shown net of these reserves. Leases At lease inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is or contains a lease. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in the financial statements. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use leased assets over the term of the lease. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s contractual obligation to make lease payments over the lease term. For operating leases, ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The lease liability is measured as the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses the rate implicit in the lease if it is determinable. When the rate implicit in the lease is not determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date of the lease to determine the present value of the lease payments. Operating ROU assets are calculated as the present value of the remaining lease payments, plus unamortized initial direct costs and any prepayments, less any unamortized lease incentives received. Lease terms may include renewal or extension options to the extent they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The assessment of whether renewal or extension options are reasonably certain to be exercised is made at lease commencement. Factors considered in determining whether an option is reasonably certain of exercise include, but are not limited to, the value of any leasehold improvements, the value of renewal rates compared to market rates, and the presence of factors that would cause a significant economic penalty to the Company if the option were not exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected not to recognize an ROU asset and obligation for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. The expense associated with short term leases is included in lease expense in the statement of operations. For finance leases, after lease commencement the lease liability is measured on an amortized cost basis and increased to reflect interest on the liability and decreased to reflect the lease payment made during the period. Interest on the lease liability is determined each period during the lease term as the amount that results in a constant period discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability. The ROU asset is subsequently measured at cost, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization on the ROU asset is recognized over the period from the commencement date to the earlier of (1) the end of the useful life of the ROU asset, or (2) the end of the lease term. The discount rate used by the Company for the finance leases is 10.0% which is the rate specified in the lease agreement or incremental borrowing rate, as appropriate, as the present value rate. To the extent a lease arrangement includes both lease and non-lease components, the components are accounted for separately. The Company has various operating leases primarily for office space and other distribution centers, some of which include escalating lease payments and options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company determines if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. The exercise of lease renewal option is at the Company’s sole discretion and options are recognized when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The Company’s leases have remaining terms of less than one year to seven years. The Company does not have lease agreements with residual value guarantees, sale leaseback terms or material restrictive covenants. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of lease agreements greater than one year based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease costs are expensed as incurred. The Company currently has two operating and reportable segments: (i) the Direct-to-Consumer segment, which composed of sales directly from our website, mail order or customer calls to our customer service department; and (ii) the Retail segment, which is comprised of all sales related to retailers, including where possession of our product is taken and sold by the retailer in store or online, and drop ship orders that process from the retailer and drop directly to our warehouse for us to ship on behalf of the retailer. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products and the risk of loss to a customer. Control is generally transferred when the Company’s products are either shipped or delivered based on the terms contained within the underlying contracts or agreements. The Company’s general payment terms are short-term in duration. The Company does not have significant financing components or payment terms. The Company did not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2019 or March 31, 2019. The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers. There were no changes to the Company’s accounting for variable consideration under ASC 606. However, the classification from a liability to a contra asset to show net realizable accounts receivable results in a change in presentation on the balance sheet. Promotional and other allowances (variable consideration) recorded as a reduction to net sales, primarily include consideration given to retail customers including, but not limited to the following:
●
discounts granted off list prices to support price promotions to end-consumers by retailers;
●
the Company’s agreed share of fees given directly to retailers for advertising, in-store marketing and promotional activities; and
●
incentives given to the Company’s retailers for achieving or exceeding certain predetermined purchases (i.e., rebates). The Company’s promotional allowance programs with its retailers are executed through separate agreements in the ordinary course of business. These agreements generally provide for one or more of the arrangements described above and are of varying durations, ranging from one day to one year. The Company’s promotional and other allowances are calculated based on various programs with retail customers, and accruals are established during the year for its anticipated liabilities. These accruals are based on agreed upon terms, as well as the Company’s historical experience with similar programs, and require management’s judgment with respect to estimating consumer participation and retail customer performance levels. Differences between such estimated expense and actual expenses for promotional and other allowance costs have historically been insignificant and are recognized in earnings in the period such differences are determined. The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer and distributor programs and incentive offerings, including promotions, rebates, and other volume-based incentives, based on historical rates. Certain incentive programs require the Company to estimate the number of customers who will actually redeem the incentive based on our historical industry experience. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company reduced accounts receivable $523,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, as an estimate for the foregoing deductions and allowances within the “accounts receivable, net” and “accrued expenses” line of the balance sheets, respectively. Warranty and Return Reserves The Company records warranty liabilities at the time of sale for the estimated costs that may be incurred under its basic warranty program. The specific warranty terms and conditions vary depending upon the product sold, but generally include technical support, repair parts, and labor for periods up to one year. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of installed units currently under warranty, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims on those units, and cost per claim to satisfy the Company’s warranty obligation. Based upon the foregoing, the Company has recorded a provision for potential future warranty costs of $181,000 and $166,000 as of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The Company reserves for known and potential returns from customers and associated refunds or credits related to such returns based upon historical experience. In certain cases, retail customers are provided a fixed allowance, usually in a range of 1% to 2%, to cover returned goods and this allowance is deducted from payments made to us by such customers. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the Company has recorded a reserve for customer returns of $156,000 and $313,000, respectively. Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information U.S. GAAP utilizes a management approach based on allocating resources and assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments. U.S. GAAP also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. At present, the Company operates in two segments, Direct-to-Consumer and Retail Sales. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 , , Accounting Standards Recently Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), which, among other things, requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for substantially all leases, including operating leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective April 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective approach such that prior year Financial Statements were not recast under the new standard. Adoption of this standard resulted in changes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and accounting policies for leases but did not have an impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the new standard and its impact on the Company’s Financial Statements. The Company adopted the new guidance as of the effective date of April 1, 2019 with no adjustments to the comparative period presented in the financial statements. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases, (2) the lease classification for expired or existing leases, and (3) initial direct costs for existing leases. The adoption of the guidance resulted in the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets of $758,000 which amortization of the ROU began in June 2019 and additional lease liabilities for operating leases of $1.3 million as of April 1, 2019. The guidance did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated condensed statements of operations. See Note 8 for disclosures related to the Company's leases. |
