Description of Business and Liquidity | 1. Description of Business and Liquidity Description of Business SPY Inc. (the Company ® brand. Today, the Company believes the SPY ® brand, symbolized by the distinct cross logo, is a well-recognized eyewear brand in its segment of the action sports industry, with a reputation for its high quality products, style and innovation, most notably showcased in its Happy Lens technology. The Company was incorporated as Sports Colors, Inc. in California in August 1992, but had no operations until April 1994, when the Company changed its name to Spy Optic, Inc. In November 2004, the Company reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name to Orange 21 Inc. In February 2012, the Company changed its name from Orange 21 Inc. to SPY Inc. to better reflect the focus of its business going forward. The Company operates through its subsidiaries and currently has one wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in California, Spy Optic Inc. ( SPY North America SPY EUROPE Capital Resources During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company had positive cash flow from operations principally due to timing of working capital purchases and higher collections on accounts receivable. Although the Company had income from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has a history of incurring significant negative cash flow from operations, net losses, and has significant working capital requirements. The Company anticipates that it will continue to have ongoing cash requirements to finance its seasonal and ongoing working capital needs and net losses. In order to finance the Company's working capital requirements, the Company has relied and anticipates that it will continue to rely on SPY North Americas credit line with BFI Business Finance ( BFI BFI Line of Credit Costa Brava Harlingwood Short-Term Debt Long-Term Debt Related Party Transactions The Company believes it will have sufficient cash on hand and cash available under existing credit facilities to meet its operating requirements for at least the next twelve months, if the Company is able to achieve some or a combination of the following factors: (i) achieve its sales growth, (ii) continue the improvements in the management of working capital, and (iii) continue to manage and operate the Company at appropriate levels of sales, marketing, general and administrative, and other operating expenses in relation to overall sales. However, the Company will need to continue to access its existing credit facilities during the next twelve months to support its planned operations and working capital requirements, and intends to (i) continue to borrow, to the extent available, from the BFI Line of Credit, (ii) if necessary, continue discretionary deferral of interest payments otherwise payable to Harlingwood, and (iii) if necessary, raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, or borrow up to the extent available on the Companys Costa Brava Line of Credit. The Company does not anticipate that it can generate sufficient cash from operations to repay the amounts due under the BFI Line of Credit, which is scheduled to renew in February 2016, and the borrowings from Costa Brava and Harlingwood due, as amended, on December 31, 2016, consisting of $19.8 million in borrowings from Costa Brava and $1.7 million in borrowings from Harlingwood as of September 30, 2015. The Company will therefore need to renew the BFI Line of Credit at its annual renewal in February 2016 and continue to extend the future maturity dates of the Costa Brava and Harlingwood indebtedness. If the Company is unable to renew the BFI Line of Credit and extend future maturity dates of the Costa Brava and Harlingwood indebtedness, it will need to raise substantial additional capital through debt or equity financing to continue its operations. No assurances can be given that any such financing will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all. The inability to obtain debt or equity financing in a timely manner and in amounts sufficient to fund the Companys operations, or the inability to renew the BFI Line of Credit or to extend future maturity dates of the Costa Brava and Harlingwood indebtedness, if necessary, would have an immediate and substantial adverse impact on the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations. |
