NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
Organization and Business Activity
Fox Holdco, Inc. (“Fox Holdco” or “the Company”) is a C-Corporation that was incorporated on November 24, 2014 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Fox Holdco has interests in the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Fox Head, Inc. (“Fox Head”), Fox Head Europe SL (“Fox Europe”), Fox Asia Sourcing & Trading Co Ltd. (“FASTCO”), and Fox Head Canada, Inc. (“Fox Canada”).
Fox Head is the operating entity and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox Holdco. Fox Head, incorporated under the laws of the State of California in 1975, designs and distributes racewear and protective gear for the action sports industry, as well as casual sportswear and accessories for men, women, and youth. Subcontractors in the U.S., Asia, Europe, and Mexico manufacture the products under renewable agreements, which specify pricing in U.S. currency. Fox Head distributes its products through sales to independent retailers and distributors throughout the world and sells products directly to the end consumer through its website and its own retail and outlet stores.
Fox Head Europe Limited, (“Fox UK”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox Head, was incorporated under the laws of the United Kingdom in 2000. In 2012, Fox UK formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Fox Europe. In May 2014, Fox Europe became the parent company of Fox UK and its subsidiaries. Fox Europe markets and distributes Fox Head’s products throughout Europe.
FASTCO, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox Head, was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in 2004 with operations in Hong Kong to facilitate contract manufacturing and product sourcing.
Fox Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox Head, was incorporated under the laws of Alberta, Canada in 2010. Fox Canada markets and distributes Fox Head’s products throughout Canada.
Fox Holdco and its subsidiaries (together, the “Company”) conduct business in markets that are highly competitive. The Company’s ability to evaluate and respond to changing consumer demands and tastes is critical to its success. The Company believes that consumer acceptance depends on product, image, design, fit, and quality. Consequently, the Company has developed an experienced team of designers and engineers that it believes has helped it remain at the forefront of design and innovation in the areas in which it competes. The Company believes, however, that its continued success will depend on its ability to create a seamless, rider-first experience through an integrated marketplace, redefine the sports through brand building syndication and digitization, reach its riders better across the globe, and establish Fox as the preferred brand of choice.
The Company is dependent upon third parties for the manufacturing of substantially all its products. The inability of a manufacturer to ship products in a timely manner, or their failure to meet quality standards, could cause the Company to miss customer delivery date requirements or be liable for product defects. Failure to meet delivery date requirements could result in cancellation of orders, customers’ refusal to accept deliveries, or a reduction in purchase prices, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company has no long-term formal arrangements with any suppliers and to date has experienced only limited difficulty in satisfying its product requirements. Although the Company believes it could replace such suppliers without a material adverse effect, there can be no assurance that such replacement could occur in a timely manner. The loss of such suppliers could have a material adverse effect on operating results.
