NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
Baby Boom Consumer Products, Inc. (“the Company”), a New York corporation formed in 1995, is engaged in the sale of diaper bags, infant accessories, toys, handbags and room décor online and to major national retail stores.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Current Expected Credit Losses, which significantly changed how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The most significant change in this standard is a shift from the incurred loss model to the expected loss model. Under the standard, disclosures are required to provide users of the financial statements with useful information in analyzing an entity’s exposure to credit risk and the measurement of credit losses.
ASU 2016-13 was required to be adopted in the first interim period of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2022. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective as of January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective transition approach. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s overall financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in such estimates could affect amounts reported in future periods.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash
Cash balances in banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. The Company maintains its cash balances in highly rated financial institutions. At times, cash balances may exceed federally insurable limits.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable represent amounts invoiced to customers in accordance with the terms of customer contracts and are recorded in the financial statements when invoices are issued, net of a provision for sales discounts, chargebacks and allowances. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on a collective basis where similar characteristics exist and on an individual basis when the Company identifies specific customers with known disputes or collectability issues. The Company provides for allowances against receivables for estimated losses, if any, that may result from a customer’s inability to pay. Estimates are based on the Company's historical losses, the existing economic conditions in the industry, and the financial stability of its customers. The Company is covered by credit insurance on certain receivables of specific customers. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has made reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the allowance. The allowance for credit losses was approximately $253,000 as of December 31, 2023 and $279,000 as of March 31, 2024. Accounts receivable and the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled approximately $6,396,0000 and $233,000, respectively, as of January 1, 2023.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods and goods in-transit and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) and net realizable value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed currently, while renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of an asset are capitalized. The costs of assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, and the related allowance for depreciation, are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property and Equipment (continued)
Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line and various accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are as follows:
| | (in years) | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 7 | |
Tools and moldings | | | 3 | |
Computer software | | | 5 | |
Revenue Recognition, Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” wherein, revenues are adjusted for variable consideration arising from implicit or explicit obligations. Variable consideration includes trade discounts, markdowns, sales allowances, cooperative advertising, return liabilities and other customer allowances. The anticipated variable consideration is estimated and recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related revenue is recognized. Variable consideration is estimated based on historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known events and industry trends.
Under Topic 606, the reserves for variable consideration are recorded as a reduction of accounts receivable, net on the accompanying balance sheets, totaling approximately $174,000 as of December 31, 2023, and $140,000 as of March 31, 2024. The reserve for variable consideration totaled approximately $249,000 as of January 1, 2023.
Sales of the Company’s products are generally made on a returnable basis with certain restrictions and include a single performance obligation for each contract. A contract is defined as an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations, and can be written, oral or implied by the entity’s customary business practices. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, which is affected by various economic factors, as the goods are transferred and the buyer has control of the goods, which is considered the point when the performance obligation is satisfied. This control passes upon shipment of the goods to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, including the expected value of variable consideration as it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur once the uncertainty related to the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Customer payment terms for these shipments typically range between 60 and 120 days.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition, Contracts with Customers (continued)
Net sales represent gross sales and related costs invoiced to customers, less certain variable consideration for discounts, returns, and other allowances. Discounts are identifiable by performance obligation and therefore are applied at the point of sale by performance obligation. Sales returns and allowances are analyzed and the Company is able to make reasonable and reliable estimates of product returns and allowances based on the Company’s past history. At a minimum, they are reassessed at each reporting date to reflect any changes in fact or circumstances. Estimates for sales returns and allowances are based on a variety of factors including actual returns and allowances and expected return and allowance data communicated to the Company by customers. Accordingly, the Company believes this analysis is a reasonable basis for its sales returns and allowances estimate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Sales Tax
The Company collects sales tax and remits the entire amount to the appropriate state where the product has been shipped. The accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted to the appropriate state from sales and cost of goods sold.
Advertising
Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, totaled approximately $12,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $0 as of March 31, 2024, and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses and were approximately $93,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $20,000 as of March 31, 2024.
Income Taxes
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, have elected under the Internal Revenue Code and New York State tax law to be taxed as S Corporations. In lieu of corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an S Corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of a company’s taxable income.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes (continued)
Therefore, no provision or liability for federal or state income tax has been included in the financial statements for this entity. The city of New York does not recognize S Corporation status; therefore, a provision has been made for New York City corporate taxes on the alternative basis. The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Accordingly, tax positions are recognized in the Company’s financial statements when it is more likely than not that the positions will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities.
New York and California enacted the Pass-Through Entity Tax (“PTET”), effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. This new law allows pass-through businesses to pay income taxes at the entity level instead of the personal level. The law allows for this election to be made annually. In 2023, the Company recognized PTET, on behalf of its members, of $1,500. Further, the Company received a refund during 2023 for previously paid PTET taxes of approximately $271,000, which is also included in the provision for income tax expense in the accompanying statement of income.
New Jersey enacted the Pass-Through Business Alternative Income Tax (“BAIT”), effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020. This law allows pass-through businesses to pay federal state and local taxes on behalf of its members. In 2023, the Company recognized BAIT, on behalf of its members, of $135,000, which is included in the provision for income tax expense in the accompanying statements of income.
Subsequent Events
On July 19, 2024 the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with a buyer for $18,000,000. The Company has agreed to sell , transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the buyer substantially all its assets and the buyer has agreed to purchase and accept the purchased assets and assume the assumed liabilities, subject to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement.
These financial statements were approved by management and available for issuance on September 25, 2024. Management has evaluated subsequent events through this date.
