EXPLANATORY
NOTE
As
described in form 8K filed on January 29, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of The Singing Machine Company,
Inc. (the “Company”) and management, in consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm, EisnerAmper LLP, has concluded that the following previously issued consolidated financial statements and related disclosures
of the Company should no longer be relied upon due to misstatements contained in such financial statements:
i.
The
audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019;
ii.
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the interim
periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, June 30, 2020 and 2019 and December 31, 2019
(the “Restated Periods”)
The
management of the Company has determined that in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606 section 10-32-26, the Company incorrectly
accounted for the cost of cooperative (“co-op”) promotion allowances (previously referred to as “cooperative
advertising”), as selling expenses instead of a reduction of the transaction prices recorded in net sales for each of the
Restated Periods.
Pursuant
to FASB ASC Topic 606 section 10-32-26, if cooperative allowances payable to a customer is a payment for a distinct good or service
from the customer, then an entity shall account for the purchase of the good or service in the same way that it accounts for other
purchases from suppliers. If the amount of consideration payable to the customer exceeds the fair value of the distinct good or
service that the entity receives from the customer, then the entity shall account for such an excess as a reduction of the transaction
price. If the entity cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the good or service received from the customer, it shall account
for all of the consideration payable to the customer as a reduction of the transaction price.
Effects
of the Misstatements
The
effects of this accounting error do not impact the consolidated balance sheets, statements of cash flows and statements of shareholders’
equity for any current or past reporting period. The effects are confined to the consolidated statements of operations, MD&A
discussions, notes to consolidated financial statements, and management’s assessment of internal control of the Restated
Periods. The net income or loss reported in the aforementioned reporting periods has not changed. The impact of this error on
the audited consolidated financial statements is as follows:
●
For
the three months and the six months ended September 30, 2020 reported net sales will be reduced by $902,280, and $1,173,840,
respectively, representing an approximate four percent reduction in each period. Total net sales for the three months ended
September 30, 2020 as originally reported were $23,187,519 and will be restated to $22,285,239 reducing the gross profit percentage
from 29.0% to 26.1%. Total net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2020 as originally reported were $26,511,062 and
will be restated to $25,337,222 reducing the gross profit percentage from 30.0% to 26.8%. Correspondingly, for the three months
and the six months ended September 30, 2020 reported total operating expenses will be reduced by $902,280, and $1,173,840,
respectively, representing a 21 % and an approximate 19% reduction in each period, respectively. Total operating expenses
as originally reported of $4,286,745 will be restated to $3,384,465 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Total operating
expenses as originally reported of $6,291,695 will be restated to $5,117,855 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 Net
income of $2,407,874 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and net income of $2,201,070 for the six months ended
September 30, 2020, as previously reported, are not changed by these restatements.
●
For
the three months and the six months ended September 30, 2019 reported net sales will be reduced by $1,027,327, and $1,196,129,
respectively, representing an approximate five percent reduction in each period. Total net sales for the three months ended
September 30, 2019 as originally reported were $20,081,842 and will be restated to $19,054,515 reducing the gross profit percentage
from 28.1% to 24.2%. Total net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2019 as originally reported were $24,890,882 and
will be restated to $23,694,753 reducing the gross profit percentage from 26.6% to 22.9%. Correspondingly, for the three months
and the six months ended September 30, 2019 reported total operating expenses will be reduced by $1,027,327 and $1,196,129,
respectively, representing an approximate 21% and 17% reduction in each period, respectively. Total operating expenses as
originally reported of $4,782,986 will be restated to $3,755,659 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Total operating
expenses as originally reported of $6,872,796 will be restated to $5,676,667 for the six months ended September 30, 2019.
Net income of $624,222 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and net loss of $245,359 for the six months ended September
30, 2019, as previously reported, and are not changed by these restatements.
Internal
Controls Over Financial Reporting
As
a result of the misstatements, management also concluded that we had a material weakness in our control over financial reporting.
For more information regarding management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls
and procedures, as well as the related remediation actions, refer to Item 4 “Controls and Procedures” in this Interim
Report on Form 10-Q/A.
This
Form 10-Q/A amends and restates the entire contents of the original Form 10-Q. The Part I portions of this Form 10-Q/A that have
been revised to give effect to the restatements and matters related thereto are as follows:
●
Item
1. Financial Statements
●
Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
●
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
In

the date of this filing in connection with this Form 10-Q/A Part II Item 6 Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.
Except
as described above, no other changes have been made to the Company’s Interim Report on Form 10-Q/A for the six months ended
September 30, 2020 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the date of the Original Filing and does
not reflect events that may have occurred after the date of the Original Filing or modify or update any disclosures that may have
been affected by subsequent events.
The
Company will be amending the previous Form 10-K reports covering the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for each
of the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the Form 10-Q report covering the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
as of and for each of the interim periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, through separate filings of Forms 10-K/A and 10-Q/A, respectively.
The interim period covering December 31, 2019 will be restated in connection with our filing of the December 31, 2020 Form 10-Q.

THE
SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2020 and 2019
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
OVERVIEW
The
Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “SMC”, “The Singing Machine”)
and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics,
Inc. (“SMC-L”) and SMC-Music, Inc.(“SMC-M”) are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale
of consumer karaoke audio systems, accessories, musical instruments and musical recordings. The products are sold by SMC to retailers
and distributors for resale to consumers.
NOTE
2 – RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company has determined that in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers , the Company incorrectly accounted for the cost
of its co-op promotion allowances (previously referred to as “cooperative advertising”) with its customers as selling
expenses instead of a reduction in net sales for each of the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, as these
co-op promotion allowances are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the
benefit it receives from these arrangements.
The
effects of this accounting error do not impact the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of cash flows and statements
of shareholders’ equity. The effects are confined to the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and these notes
to condensed consolidated financial statements. The tables below set forth the condensed consolidated statements of operations,

NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES
OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying
unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q/A
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete consolidated financial
statements. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed
consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31,
2020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A
for the year ended March 31, 2020. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
that report.
USE
OF ESTIMATES
The
Singing Machine makes estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty
reserves, inventory reserves and reserves for promotional incentives that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore,
the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a
material impact on the Company’s financial condition. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.
COLLECTABILITY
OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The
Singing Machine’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its
customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be in an
amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other
reserves based upon historical collection experience. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on
its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.
The
Company is subject to chargebacks from customers for cooperative promotional programs, defective returns, return freight and handling
charges that are deducted from open invoices and reduce collectability of open invoices.
FOREIGN
CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The
functional currency of the Macau Subsidiary is the Hong Kong dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated
to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for
revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the condensed
consolidated statement of operations and translations
are
recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.

THE
SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2020 and 2019
(Unaudited)
Concentration
of Credit Risk
At
times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
insured amounts. The Company also maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts at foreign financial
institutions at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 are approximately $896,000 and $217,000, respectively.
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of accounts receivable.
INVENTORY
Inventories
are comprised primarily of electronic karaoke equipment, microphones and accessories, and are stated at the lower of cost or net
realizable value, as determined using the first in, first out method. Inventories also include an estimate for the net realizable
value of expected future inventory returns due to warranty and allowance programs. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020
the estimated amounts for
these
future inventory returns were approximately $1,114,000 and $1,367,000, respectively. The Company reduces inventory on hand to
its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item
falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory
items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for such declines in value.
As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the Company had inventory reserves of approximately $905,000 and $434,000, respectively
for estimated excess and obsolete inventory.
DEFERRED
FINANCING COSTS
The
Company classifies deferred financing costs incurred when obtaining or renewing revolving credit facilities as assets in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets as it is likely that during certain periods during non-peak season there will be no balance
due on these credit facilities to offset the deferred financing costs. In June 2020, the Company incurred approximately $74,000
in deferred financing costs associated with the closing of the Crestmark Facility and the IHC Facility which are being amortized
over twelve months and were classified as current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
LONG-LIVED
ASSETS
The
Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication
that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the related assets are
less than the carrying amount, the carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-05,
“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
LEASES
The
Company follows FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. The ASC requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose
key information about leasing arrangements. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize
a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified
as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement.
(See Note 7– LEASES).
The
Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s
right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability
is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain
adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard)
while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard).
As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental
borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the implicit rate for its finance leases.
PROPERTY
AND EQUIPMENT
Property
and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense
as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful
lives using accelerated and straight-line methods.
FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We
follow FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain
financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a
financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties,
other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued
expenses, refunds due to customers and due to/from related parties approximates fair value due to the relatively short period
to maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on the subordinated debt to Starlight Marketing Development, Ltd. (related
party), finance leases and installment notes approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity and related
interest accrued at a rate similar to market rates.

September

(Unaudited)
The
carrying amount on the revolving lines of credit approximate fair value due the relatively short period to maturity and related
interest accrued at market rates. The carrying amount on the Payroll Protection Program note payable approximates fair value due
the relatively short period to maturity as management intends to apply for total forgiveness of the loan in the current fiscal
year.
REVENUE
RECOGNITION AND RESERVE FOR SALES RETURNS
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. All revenue is
generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and control of the goods
sold is transferred to the customer, in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which
the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following
five steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract
(promised goods or services that are distinct), (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction
price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the product
or service for each performance obligation.
The
Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation (the sale of the Company’s products). The
Company’s contracts have no financing elements, payment terms are less than 120 days and have no further contract asset
or liability obligations once control of goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration
the Company expects to receive for the sale of these goods.
The
Company selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion initiatives to maximize sales of the Company’s products
on the retail floor or to assist in developing consumer awareness of new product launches, by providing marketing fund allowances
to our customers. As these co-op promotion initiatives are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate
the fair value of the benefit it receives from these arrangements, the cost of these allowances at the time they are offered to
the customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 co-op promotion
allowances were approximately $902,000 and $1,027,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 co-op
promotion allowances were approximately $1,174,000 and $1,196,000, respectively.
Costs
incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers include administrative costs associated with the procurement of goods are included
in general and administrative expenses, in-bound freight costs are included in the cost of goods sold and accrued sales representative
commissions are included in selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as our underlying
customer agreements are less than one year.
The
Company disaggregates revenues by product line and major geographic region as most of its revenue is generated by the sales of
karaoke hardware and the Company has no other material business segments (See Note 9 – GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION).
While
the Company generally does not allow products to be returned, the Company does provide for variable consideration contingent upon
the occurrence of uncertain future events. Variable consideration is estimated at the expected value or at the most likely amount
depending on the type of consideration. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that
a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration
is resolved. The Company estimates variable consideration under our return allowance programs for goods returned to the customer
for various reasons, whereby a sales return reserve is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified
and management estimates.
The
Company’s reserve for sales returns were approximately $1,723,000 and $1,224,000 as of September 30, 2020 and March 31,
2020, respectively.
Revenue
is derived from four different major product lines. Disaggregated revenue from these product lines for the three and six months
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following:

(Unaudited)
SHIPPING
AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping
and handling costs are performed by both the Company and third-party logistics companies. Shipping and handling activities are
performed before the customer obtains control of the goods sold to them and are considered activities to fulfill the Company’s
promise to transfer the goods. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 shipping and handling expenses were approximately
$305,000 and $225,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 shipping and handling expenses were
approximately $388,000 and $314,000, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling expenses in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
STOCK
BASED COMPENSATION
The
Company follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 718-20, “Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity”.
ASC 718-20 requires all share-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value
and expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. Employee stock option compensation expense for the
three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line
basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019, the stock option expense was approximately $0 and $5,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019, the stock option expense was $0 and $10,000, respectively.
RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research
and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of selling, general
and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2020
and 2019, these amounts totaled approximately $2,000 and $18,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and
2019, these amounts totaled $15,000 and $23,000 respectively.
INCOME
TAXES
The
Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method
of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion
of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020
the Company recognized a valuation reserve of approximately $88,000 for deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforwards
that the Company will more than likely not be able to realize prior to their expiration.
The
Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each interim period and, based on management’s best
estimate of its full year effective tax rate, recognizes cumulative adjustments to its deferred tax assets and liabilities. For
the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 we estimated our effective tax rate to be approximately 25% and 18%, respectively.
As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the Singing Machine had net deferred tax assets of approximately $677,000 and $1,286,000,
respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $821,000 and $184,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $742,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 2020 and an income tax benefit of approximately $55,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2019.
The
Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a
previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and
unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or
annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not
that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50%
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. As of September 30, 2020, there were no uncertain tax positions
that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities
recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.
COMPUTATION
OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
Income
per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. As
of September 30, 2020 and 2019 total potential dilutive shares from common stock options amounted to approximately 2,230,000 and
2,250,000 shares, respectively. These shares were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and
six months ended September 30, 2020 and the three months ended September 30, 2019. These shares were not included in the computation
of diluted earnings per share for the six months ended September 30, 2019 because their effect was anti-dilutive.

RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). Among several issues addressed in this
ASU, there was one area that may potentially affect the Company’s calculations of interim income tax provision or benefit.
The guidance specifies that an entity should apply the annual effective tax rate to the year-to date income or loss as long as
the tax benefits for any losses are expected to be realized during the year or would be recognizable as a deferred tax asset at
the end of the year eliminating the requirement of a valuation allowance for that interim period. There is specific guidance for
circumstances in which an entity incurs a loss on a year-to-date basis that exceeds the anticipated ordinary loss for the year,
which is an exception to the general guidance in Subtopic 740-270. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We are currently evaluating the potential effects of this
updated guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic 326) . This ASU represents
a significant change in the current accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current
expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which delayed recognition of
expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The
amendments in ASU 2016-03 for smaller reporting companies are effective for fiscal years beginning after April 1, 2023 including
interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effects of this
updated guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Intercreditor
Revolving Credit Facility Crestmark Bank and Iron Horse Credit
On

replaced the Company’s previous revolving credit facility with PNC Bank which was terminated on June 16, 2020. The Company
signed a two-year Loan and Security Agreement for a $10.0 million financing facility with Crestmark Bank (“Crestmark Facility”)
on eligible accounts receivable. The outstanding loan balance cannot exceed $10.0 million during peak selling season between July
1 and December 31and is reduced to a maximum of $5.0 million between January 1 and July 31. Costs associated with closing of the
Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $74,000 are deferred and will be amortized over one year. During the
three and six months ended September 30, 2020 the Company incurred amortization expense of approximately $18,000 and $21,000,
respectively associated with the amortization of deferred financing costs from the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility.

Under
the Crestmark Facility:
●
Advance
rate shall not exceed 70% of Eligible Accounts Receivable aged less than 90 days from invoice date.
●
Crestmark
shall maintain a base dilution reserve of 1% for each 1% of dilution over 15%.
●
Crestmark
will implement an availability block of 20% of amounts due on Iron Horse Credit (“IHC”) Intercreditor Revolving
Credit Facility.
●
Mandatory
pay-down of the loan to zero in January and February each year.
The
Crestmark Facility is secured by a perfected security interest in all assets including a first security interest in Accounts Receivable
and Inventory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Crestmark shall subordinate its first security interest in inventory to IHC as agreed
between all parties. The Crestmark Facility bears interest at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 5.50% with a floor of 8.75%.
Interest and Maintenance Fees shall be calculated on the higher of the actual average monthly loan balance from the prior month
or a minimum average loan balance of $2,000,000. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recorded interest
expense of approximately $51,000. The Crestmark Facility expires on June 15, 2022. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had an
outstanding balance of approximately $134,000 on the Crestmark Facility.
In
addition, the Company executed a two-year Loan and Security Agreement with Iron Horse Credit (“IHC Facility”) for
up to $2,500,000 in inventory financing.
Under
the IHC Facility:
●
Advance
rate shall not exceed the lower of (a) 70% of the inventory cost or (b) 85% of Net Orderly Liquidation Value (NOLV) as determined
by an independent third-party appraiser engaged by IHC.
●
The
Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio test of 1:1 times measured on a rolling 12-month basis, defined as earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) less non-financed capital expenditures, cash
dividends and distributions paid and cash taxes paid divided by the sum of interest and principal on all indebtedness. This
financial covenant has been waived for the first six months of the IHC Facility.
The
IHC Facility is secured by a perfected security interest in the Company’s inventory. The IHC Facility bears interest at
1.292% per month or 15.51% annually. Interest shall be calculated on the higher of the actual average monthly loan balance from
the prior month or a minimum average loan balance of $1,000,000. Interest expense for the three and six months ended September

Revolving
Credit Facility PNC Bank
On
June 22, 2017, the Company renewed the existing revolving credit facility (the “PNC Revolving Credit Facility”) with
PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) for an additional three years which was terminated on June 16, 2020 and replaced
by the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility with Crestmark and IHC. In September 2019, the Company defaulted on the PNC Revolving
Credit Facility due to non-compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio requirement. In November 2019, the Company entered
into a Forbearance Agreement with PNC whereby PNC delayed taking action they would have been be entitled to under a default through
March 31, 2020. The Company remained in default of the Forbearance Agreement up until termination of the Revolving Credit Facility
on June 16, 2020 at which time the Company executed the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility with Crestmark and IHC. As of
September 30, 2020, and March 31, 2020 there were no amounts due on the PNC Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months
ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $0 and $32,000, respectively, on amounts
borrowed against the PNC Revolving Credit Facility. During the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company incurred
interest expense of approximately $0 and $33,000, respectively on amounts borrowed against the PNC Revolving Credit Facility.
Note
Payable Payroll Protection Plan
On
May 5, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds from Crestmark in the amount of approximately $444,000 under the Paycheck Protection
Program (“PPP”). The PPP was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES
Act”), which provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses
of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest may be forgivable to the extent the Company uses the loan proceeds
for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness
may be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eligible period. The unforgiven portion of
the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments until a forgiveness application
has been accepted and reviewed by the SBA, and the SBA has provided Crestmark with the loan forgiveness amount. For the three
months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $1,000 and $0, respectively. For
the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $2,000 and $0, respectively.
As of September 30, 2020 there was an outstanding balance on the PPP note payable of approximately $444,000. The Company currently
expects to apply for forgiveness of the entire loan balance.

Subordinated
Debt/Note Payable to Related Party
In
conjunction with the Crestmark Facility and IHC Facility there is a subordination agreement on related party debt due to Starlight
Marketing Development, Ltd. of approximately $803,000. On June 1, 2020 the remaining amount due on the subordinated debt of approximately
$803,000 was converted to a note payable (“subordinated note payable”) which bears interest at 6%. As part of the
agreement to convert the subordinated debt to a note payable it
was agreed that interest expense would be accrued at the same 6% interest rate on the unpaid principal retroactively from the
date that previously scheduled payments had been missed. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 interest expense
was approximately $12,000 and $0, respectively on the subordinated note payable and the related party subordinated debt. During
the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 interest expense was approximately $24,000 and $2,000, respectively on the subordinated
note payable and the related party subordinated debt.
In
connection with the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility the Company was required to subordinate the subordinated note payable.
Both the Crestmark Facility and IHC Facility agreements allow for the repayment of the subordinated note payable provided any
amounts borrowed against these credit facilities are paid in full, the Company maintains a 1 : 1 debt coverage ratio and exhibits
sufficient cash liquidity to support on-going operations. There is no set schedule with regards to repayment of the note and as
such the subordinated note payable has been classified as a non-current liability as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020
on the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the remaining amount due on the subordinated debt
was approximately $803,000.

plan and administrative costs during the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 totaled approximately $34,000 and $32,000,
respectively. The amounts are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations. The Company does not provide any post-employment benefits to retirees.
NOTE
14 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT AND SALES RISK
The
Company derives a majority of its revenues from retailers of products in the United States. The Company’s allowance for
doubtful accounts is based upon management’s estimates and historical experience and reflects the fact that accounts receivable
are concentrated with several large customers. At September 30,
2020, 93% of accounts receivable were due from four customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts
receivable. At March 31, 2020, 82% of accounts receivable were due from three customers in North America that individually owed
over 10% of total accounts receivable.
The
Company generates most of its revenue from retailers of products in the United States with a significant amount of sales concentrated
with several large customers the loss of which could have an adverse impact on the financial position of the Company. For the
three months ended September 30, 2020, there were three customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s
net sales. Revenue derived from these customers as a percentage of net sales were 46%, 20%, and 10% respectively. For the three
months ended September 30, 2019, there were two customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net
sales. Revenue derived from these customers as a percentage of net sales were 42% and 12%, respectively.
For
the six months ended September 30, 2020, there were three customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s
net sales. Revenue derived from these customers as a percentage of net sales were 43%, 20% and 14%, respectively. For the six
months ended September 30, 2019, there was one customer who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net
sales. Revenue derived from this customer as a percentage of net sales was 49%.

RESTATEMENT
AND REVISION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As
discussed in the Explanatory Note, this Amendment to Form 10-Q, amends and restates the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements and related disclosures in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” as of and for the three and
six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, in order to correct an error in our accounting for co-op promotion allowances in
our previously issued financial statements. The impact of the accounting correction is further illustrated in Note 2 of the “Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”. Accordingly, the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations set forth below are revised for the effects of these restatements.
OVERVIEW
The
Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “SMC”, “The Singing Machine”)
and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics,
Inc. (“SMC-L”) and SMC-Music, Inc.(“SMC-M”) are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale
of consumer karaoke audio systems, accessories, musical instruments and musical recordings. The products are sold by SMC to retailers
and distributors for resale to consumers.
Our
products are sold throughout North America, Europe and Australia primarily through major mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs,
on-line retailers and to a lesser extent department stores, lifestyle merchants, direct mail catalogs and showrooms, music and
record stores, and specialty stores.
Representative
customers include Amazon, Best Buy, BJ’s Wholesale, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, and Wal-Mart. Our business has historically
been subject to seasonal fluctuations causing our revenues to vary from quarter to quarter and between the same periods in different
fiscal years. Our products are manufactured for the most part based on the purchase indications of our customers. We are uncertain
of how significantly our business would be harmed by a prolonged economic recession, but we anticipate that continued contraction
of consumer spending would negatively affect our revenues and profit margins.
Sales
of consumer electronics and toy products in the retail channel are highly seasonal, with a majority of retail sales occurring
during the period from September through December in anticipation of the holiday season, which includes Christmas. A substantial
majority of our sales occur during the second quarter ending September 30 and the third quarter ending December 31. Sales in our
second and third quarter, combined, accounted for approximately 85% and 94% of net sales in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively.
The
COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected U.S. consumer shopping patterns and caused the health of the U.S. economy to deteriorate.
We cannot foresee whether the outbreak of COVID-19 will be effectively contained, nor can we predict the severity and duration
of its impact on our business and our financial results. If the outbreak of COVID-19 is not effectively and timely controlled,
our business operations, financial condition, and liquidity may be materially and adversely affected as a result of prolonged
disruptions in consumer spending, a lack of demand for our products, forced retail store closures and other factors that we cannot
foresee. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our financial results will depend on future developments which
are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

QUARTER
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
NET
SALES
Net
sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 increased to approximately $22,285,000 from approximately $19,055,000 an increase
of approximately $3,230,000 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2019. Sales of our Carpool Karaoke The Mic (“CPK”)
product increased by approximately $1,098,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period ended
September 30, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we received notification from a major customer that several
containers of goods from multiple vessels purchased direct import by the customer had arrived severely water damaged which resulted
in estimated customer chargebacks and a reduction of sales of approximately $1,534,000 for this one-time prior year incident.
There was a decrease in co-op promotion allowances of approximately $125,000 with the remaining increase in sales of approximately
$473,000 primarily due to increased internet product demand from two major customers during the three months ended September 30,
2020.
GROSS
PROFIT
Gross
profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 increased to approximately $5,823,000 from approximately $4,615,000 an increase
of approximately $1,208,000 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in net sales contributed approximately
$873,000 to the increase in gross profit. The prior year one-time damaged goods incident during the three months ended September
30, 2019 contributed approximately $286,000 of the variance in gross profit. The decrease in co-op promotion allowances contributed
approximately $125,000 of the variance to gross profit with the remaining variance due to the gross profit on the mix of products
sold.
Gross
profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 26.1% compared to 24.2% for the three months ended September 30,
2019. The increase in CPK product sales which yield substantially more gross profit margin than our traditional product accounted
for approximately 1.2 margin points of the 1.9 gross profit margin point increase, the decrease in co-op promotion allowances
contributed approximately 0.7 margin points of the variance.
OPERATING
EXPENSES
For
the quarter ended September 30, 2020, total operating expenses decreased to approximately $3,384,000 compared to approximately
$3,756,000 from the same period in the prior year. This represents a decrease in total operating expenses of approximately $372,000
from the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
General
and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $393,000 to approximately $1,842,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2020 compared to approximately $2,235,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2019. There were one-time expenses incurred
during the three months ended September 30, 2019 including approximately $219,000 in out-of-pocket expenses associated with the
damaged goods incident and approximately $135,000 in accounts receivable insurance for J C Penney that did not reoccur during
the three months ended September 30, 2020. The remaining decrease was primarily due to a reduction in travel and entertainment
expenses associated with COVID-19 limitations.
INCOME
FROM OPERATIONS
There
was income from operations of approximately $2,439,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to income from operations
of approximately $859,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in income from operations of approximately
$1,580,000 was primarily due to the increase in gross profit and reduction in operating expenses as explained above.
OTHER
INCOME (EXPENSES)
Other
income and (expenses) increased by approximately $841,000 to approximately $790,000 in other income, net for the three months
ended September 30, 2020 compared to approximately $51,000 in other expenses for the same period ended September 30, 2019 primarily
due to the recovery of approximately $937,000 in out-of-pocket expenses relating to a prior year damaged goods insurance claim.
This increase in other income was offset by an increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately
$96,000 associated with the financing terms of the Crestmark Facility and IHC Facility.
INCOME
TAXES
For
the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company recognized an income tax provision of approximately $821,000 and
$184,000, respectively, due to management’s best estimate of the Company’s full year effective tax rate of approximately
25.2% and 18.3%, respectively.
21
NET
INCOME
For
the three months ended September 30, 2020 there was net income of approximately $2,408,000 compared to net income of approximately
$624,000 for the same period a year ago. The increase in net income was primarily due to the same reasons discussed in Income
from Operations, Other Income (Expenses) and Income Taxes.
SIX
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2019
NET
SALES
Net
sales for the six months ended September 30, 2020 increased to approximately $25,337,000 from $23,695,000 an increase of approximately
$1,642,000 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2019. Sales of our CPK product increased by approximately $939,000
during the six months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2019. During the six months ended
September 30, 2019, we received notification from a major customer that several containers of goods from multiple vessels purchased
direct import by the customer had arrived severely water damaged which resulted in estimated customer chargebacks and a reduction
of sales of approximately $1,534,000 for this prior year one-time incident. These increases in net sales were offset by a reduction
in sales of approximately $826,000 to J C Penney due to their pending bankruptcy.
GROSS
PROFIT
Gross
profit for the six months ended September 30, 2020 increased to approximately $6,785,000 from approximately $5,434,000 an increase
of approximately $1,351,000 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in net sales as indicated in Net Sales
contributed approximately $432,000 increase in gross profit margin. The one-time damaged goods incident during the six months
ended September 30, 2019 contributed approximately $296,000 of the variance in gross profit with the remaining increase attributed
to a decrease in co-op promotion allowances of approximately $22,000 and increased gross profit on the mix of products sold.
Gross
profit margin for the six months ended September 30, 2020 was 26.8% compared to 22.9% for the six months ended September 30, 2019.
The increase in CPK product sales which yield substantially more gross profit margin than our traditional product accounted for
approximately 1.5 of the 3.9 gross profit margin point increase with the remaining increase in margin points attributed to the
mix of products sold.
OPERATING
EXPENSES
For
the six months ended September 30, 2020, total operating expenses decreased to approximately $5,118,000 compared to approximately
$5,677,000 from the same period in the prior year. This represents a decrease in total operating expenses of approximately $559,000
from the six months ended September 30, 2019. Selling expenses decreased by approximately $177,000 primarily due to reduced discretionary
marketing expense of approximately $343,000 associated with the CPK product and offset by an increase of royalty expenses of approximately
$130,000 due to the increase in CPK product sales with the remaining variance due to a decrease in freight expense associated
with the prior year one-time charge to freight expense due to the damaged goods incident.
General
and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $401,000 to approximately $3,205,000 for the six months ended September
30, 2020 compared to approximately $3,606,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2019. There were one-time expenses incurred
during the three months ended September 30, 2019 including approximately $219,000 in out-of-pocket expenses associated with the
damaged goods incident and approximately $135,000 in accounts receivable insurance for J C Penney that did not reoccur during
the three months ended September 30, 2020. There was a decrease in travel and entertainment of approximately $153,000 due to canceled
trade shows and other limitations associated with COVID-19. These increases in general and administrative expenses were offset
by an increase in outside computer services associated with the implementation of our new ERP system.
INCOME
(LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS
There
was income from operations of approximately $1,668,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a loss from operations
of approximately $243,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in income from operations of approximately
$1,911,000 was primarily due to the increase in gross profit and reduction in operating expenses as explained above.
OTHER
INCOME (EXPENSES)
Other
income and (expenses) increased by approximately $1,333,000 to approximately $1,276,000 in other income, net for the six months
ended September 30, 2020 compared to approximately $57,000 in other expenses for the same period ended September 30, 2019 primarily
due to the recovery of approximately $1,068,000 in out-of-pocket expenses relating to a prior year damaged goods insurance claim
and a vendor extinguishing accounts payable of $390,000 from the factory that caused the damage. This increase in other income
was offset by an increase in interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $125,000 associated
with the financing terms of the Crestmark Facility and IHC Facility.
22
INCOME
TAXES
For
the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $742,000 and an
income tax benefit of approximately $55,000, respectively, due to management’s best estimate of the Company’s full
year effective tax rate of approximately 25.2% and 18.3%, respectively.
NET
INCOME (LOSS)
For
the six months ended September 30, 2020 there was net income of approximately $2,201,000 compared to a net loss of approximately
$245,000 for the same period a year ago. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the same reasons discussed in Income
(Loss) from Operations, Other Income (Expenses) and Income Taxes.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As
of September 30, 2020, Singing Machine had cash on hand of approximately $1,071,000 as compared to cash on hand of approximately
$2,255,000 on September 30, 2019. We had working capital of approximately $6,999,000 as of September 30, 2020. Net cash used in
operating activities was approximately $674,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to approximately $2,216,000
used in operating activities for the same period a year ago. During the six months ended September 30, 2020 there was an increase
in accounts receivable of approximately $16,576,000 due to a seasonal increase in sales and a seasonal increase in inventories
of approximately $1,072,000 due to receipt of inventory for peak season, and a decrease in refunds due to customers of approximately
$686,000 as most of the refunds due to the damaged goods incident from the prior year were refunded to the customer. These increases
in cash used in operating activities were offset by an increase in accounts payable of approximately $9,498,000 due to seasonal
purchases of product for the peak season and a decrease in insurance receivable of approximately $1,268,000 as we received proceeds
for the one-time damaged goods incident that occurred in the prior fiscal year. There was a decrease in amounts due from banks
of approximately $2,388,000 due to excess cash collected in excess of amounts due on the revolving credit facilities with PNC
Bank and Crestmark Bank and a seasonal increase in reserve for sales returns of approximately $499,000.
Net
cash used in operating activities was approximately $2,216,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to approximately
$5,400,000 used in operating activities for the same period a year ago. During the six months ended September 30, 2019 there was
an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $14,760,000 due to seasonal increase in sales, an increase in inventories
of approximately $9,264,000 due to peak seasonal purchases as well as expedited inventory receipts in order to mitigate increased
costs due to new tariff assessments. There was an increase in insurance claim receivable of approximately $1,248,000 relating
to damaged goods claims from one customer. These increases in cash used in operating activities were offset by an increase in
accounts payable of approximately $16,615,000 due to seasonal purchases of product for the peak season, an increase in reserve
for sales returns of approximately $2,334,000 of which approximately $1,100,000 is due to anticipated return of new product from
one major customer. There was a decrease in amounts due from PNC bank of approximately $2,237,000 due to excess cash collected
in excess of amounts due on the Revolving Credit facility at year end being utilized in peak season operations and an increase
in refunds due to customers of approximately $1,617,000 due to chargebacks from one major customer for damaged goods.
Net
cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $85,000 as compared to approximately
$213,000 used in investing activities for the same period ended a year ago and consisted primarily of purchases of molds and tooling
for new products.
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $1,485,000 compared to cash
provided by financing activities of approximately $4,472,000 for the same period ended of the prior year. We borrowed approximately
$1,156,000 from our Crestmark Facility and IHC Facility for working capital and received loan proceeds from Crestmark in the amount
of approximately $444,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program. These financing activities were offset by payments made on deferred
finance charges associated with the closing of the Crestmark and IHC Facilities of approximately $74,000 with the remaining difference
used to pay scheduled installments on installment notes and finance leases.
During
the six months ended September 30, 2019, we borrowed approximately $4,429,000 from our Revolving Credit Facility for working capital
and received approximately $176,000 from a financing arrangement with Dimension Funding to finance implementation of a new Enterprise
Resource Planning system. These increases in cash provided by financing activities were offset by payments of finance leases and
the bank term note of approximately $132,000.
On
June 16, 2020, the Company executed an Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility with Crestmark and IHC on eligible accounts receivable
and inventory which replaced the Company’s previous revolving credit facility with PNC Bank which was terminated on June
16, 2020 (See Note 5 – Bank Financing). As of this filing, we have borrowed approximately $599,000 on the IHC Facility,
which provides for a maximum loan amount of $2,500,000 on eligible inventory and borrowed approximately $4,156,000 on our Crestmark
Facility which will make available up to $10,000,000 of eligible accounts receivable as the fiscal year progresses. As of this
filing the Company has approximately $4,546,000 currently available from these two credit facilities.
In
August 2019, a major customer received goods that were significantly water damaged due to excess moisture absorbed in pallets
shipped by the factory. As a result we incurred a loss in cash flow of approximately $1,559,000 in revenue and approximately $849,000
in additional out of pocket expenses to retrieve, inspect, warehouse and properly destroy the goods in the prior fiscal year.
As of this filing we have we recovered approximately $2,336,000 from our cargo insurance coverage which settled approximately
$1,268,000 in insurance claim receivable with the remaining proceeds reflected in other income and (expenses) as a gain from damaged
goods insurance claim in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the three and six months ended September 30,
2020 the gain from damaged goods insurance claim was approximately $937,000 and $1,068,000, respectively. We also secured vendor
invoice credits of $390,000 from the factory that caused the damage which is reflected as gain from extinguishment of accounts
payable in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2020.
23
On
May 5, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds from Crestmark Bank in the amount of approximately $444,000 under the Paycheck
Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act
(“CARES Act”), which provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly
payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest may be forgivable to the extent the Company uses the
loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount
of loan forgiveness may be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eligible period. The unforgiven
portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments until a forgiveness application
has been accepted and reviewed by the SBA, and the SBA has provided Crestmark with the loan forgiveness amount. For the three
and six months ended September 30, 2020 the Company incurred interest expense of approximately $1,000 and $2,000, respectively.
The Company currently expects to apply for forgiveness of the entire loan balance.
We
believe that the cash on hand, the availability of cash from our Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility, our projections to reduce
excess inventory during the next year, and cash generated from our operating forecast will be adequate to meet the Company’s
liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months. We believe the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility will be adequate
to maintain and grow our business during the two-year term of the agreement. If we are unable to comply with the financial covenants
defined in the financing agreement and default on the credit facility, it may have a material adverse effect on our ability to
meet our financial obligations.
INVENTORY
SELL THROUGH
We
monitor the inventory levels and sell through activity of our major customers to properly anticipate defective returns and maintain
the appropriate level of inventory. We believe that our warranty provision reflects the proper amount of reserves to cover potential
defective sales returns based on historical return ratios and information available from the customers.
SEASONAL
AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
Historically,
our operations have been seasonal, with the highest net sales occurring in our second and third fiscal quarters (reflecting increased
orders for systems and music merchandise during the Christmas holiday season) and to a lesser extent the first and fourth quarters
of the fiscal year. Sales in our second and third fiscal quarters, combined, accounted for approximately 85% and 94% of net sales
in fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our results of operations may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of the
amount and timing of orders placed and shipped to customers, as well as other factors. The fulfillment of orders can therefore
significantly affect results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis.
INFLATION
Inflation
has not had a significant impact on our operations. We generally have adjusted our prices to track changes in the Consumer Price
Index since prices we charge are generally not fixed by long-term contracts.
OFF-BALANCE
SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company’s interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles,
which require management to make subjective decisions, assessments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the judgement increases such judgements become even more subjective.
While management believes that its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may be materially different than
estimated. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions have not materially changed from those identified in the Company’s
2020 Annual Report.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this
evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s
rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Following
the initial filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020, our Forms 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2020
and the six months ended September 30, 2020, management identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial
reporting that existed as of the dates of those filings related to the design and implementation of control activities intended
to mitigate the risk that transactions be incorrectly accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Specifically, we did not maintain effective internal controls over the accounting for costs related to our co-op promotion allowances,
pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers, as we incorrectly recorded these allowances as selling expenses when
they should be recorded as a reduction in net sales. This material weakness resulted in material misstatements to the consolidated
statements of operations for the aforementioned periods. The consolidated balance sheets, statement of cash flows, statement of
shareholders’ equity, net income or loss for the affected periods remained unaffected.
Plan
for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The
Company’s management has begun to design and implement certain remediation measures to address the above-described material
weakness and enhance the Company’s internal control in order to remediate this material weakness. As part of our remediation
measures, the Company has identified and will implement plans to enhance the Company’s process and controls including ensuring
adequate resources and use of accounting experts with respect to review of accounting standards.
(b)
Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during
the period covered by this report that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control
over financial reporting.
