NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
OVERVIEW
The
Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “SMC”, “The Singing Machine”),
and wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMCL”)
and SMC-Music, Inc. (“SMCM”), are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment,
accessories and musical recordings. The products are sold directly to distributors and retail customers.
We
do business with a number of entities that are principally owned by the Company’s former Chairman, Philip Lau , including Starlight
R&D Ltd (“SLRD”), Starlight Consumer Electronics USA, Inc., (“SCE”), Cosmo Communications Corporation of
Canada, Inc. (“Cosmo”), Winglight Pacific, Ltd (“Winglight”) and Starlight Electronics Company Ltd (“SLE”),
among others.
NOTE
2 – LIQUIDITY
The
Company reported a net loss of approximately $ 119 ,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to a net loss of approximately
$ 207 ,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. In May, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds from Crestmark Bank in the amount
of approximately $ 444,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) established by the government to assist companies
with financial relief due to COVID-19. The Company used the loan proceeds for loan forgiveness eligible purposes, including payroll,
benefits, rent and utilities, and maintained its existing payroll levels during the forgiveness eligible period. In June 2021 the Company
received notification from the SBA that the loan had been forgiven in its entirety. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, a gain
of approximately $448,000 (including principal and interest) from the forgiveness of the loan was included in other income and expenses
in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On
August 5, 2021, the Company entered into a stock redemption agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with Koncepts International
Limited (“Koncepts”) and Treasure Green Holdings, Ltd. (“Treasure Green”), pursuant to which the Company agreed
to redeem approximately 19,623,155 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Redeemed Shares”). The closing of the transactions
set forth in the Redemption Agreement took place on August 10, 2021, at which time the Redeemed Shares were assigned and transferred
back to the Company and the Company wired approximately $ 7,162,000 to Koncepts and Treasure Green. The Redeemed Shares shall be
retired to treasury and shall become available for reissuance in the future.
On
August 5, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with large institutional
investors and a strategic investor for private placement of (i) 16,500,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) together
with common warrants to purchase up to 16,500,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $ 0.35 per share, and (ii) 16,833,333
pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) with each Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an
exercise price of $ 0.01 per share, together with Common Warrants to purchase up to 16,833,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $ 0.35 per share (the “Private Placement”). Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants
are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares”. The closing of the Private Placement took place on August 10, 2021,
when the Shares, Common Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants were delivered to the purchasers and funds, in the amount of approximately
$ 9,800,000 , were wired to the Company. Approximately $ 7,200,000 of the funds received were used to execute the Redemption Agreement.
The Company expects an increase in working capital of approximately $ 1,800,000 of working capital after settlement of expenses associated
with closing of these transactions.
We
believe that current working capital, the availability of cash from our Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility (See Note 6 – Bank
Financing), additional working capital generated by the private placement 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 remaining term of the agreement. As both the Crestmark Facility
and the IHC Facility are set to expire on June 15, 2022, the Company expects to negotiate a revision or extension of these debt facilities
upon their maturity however, there can be no assurance that such revision or extension will occur or at what terms.
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 months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q
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 US GAAP 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.
7
THE
SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited)
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2021 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. 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 statements. 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 allowances 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 co-op program incentives, 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.
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
June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 are approximately $ 109,000 and $ 225,000 , 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 June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 the estimated amounts for these
future inventory returns were approximately $ 501,000 and $ 528,000 , 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 June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 the
Company had inventory reserves of approximately $ 636,000 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 2021, the Company incurred approximately $ 38,000 in deferred
financing costs associated with the one-year renewal of the Iron Horse Credit facility (IHC Facility) which are being amortized over
twelve months and were classified as current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June
30, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited)
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.” No impairment was recorded as of June 30, 2021 and 2020.
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,
customer deposits, refunds due to customers, and due to related parties approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to
maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on the notes payable, finance leases and installment notes approximate fair value
either due to the relatively short period to maturity or the related interest is accrued at a rate similar to market rates. The carrying
amounts on the revolving line of credit approximates fair value due the relatively short period to maturity and related interest accrued
at market rates.
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 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 incentives 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 both three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, co-op promotion incentives were
approximately $ 272,000 .

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 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 was approximately $ 750,000 and $ 960,000 as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, respectively.
Revenue
was derived from four different major product lines. Disaggregated revenue from these product lines for the three months ended June 30,

SHIPPING

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 June 30, 2021 and 2020 shipping and handling expenses
were approximately $ 151,000 and $ 83,000 , 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 months ended June 30, 2021 and
2020 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 June 30, 2021 and 2020, the stock option expense was approximately $ 5,000 and
$ 0 , 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 June 30, 2021 and 2020, these
amounts totaled approximately $ 31,000 and $ 13,000 , 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.

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 June 30, 2021 and 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 (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic
net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
net income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding
in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of Company common stock at the average market price during
the period using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, options to purchase 1,660,000 shares and
2,230,000 shares of common stock, respectively have been excluded from diluted earnings per share as the result would have been
anti-dilutive.
ADOPTION
OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In
December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). Among
several issues addressed in this ASU, there was one area potentially affecting 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. The Company adopted the standard for the interim period ended June 30, 2021. The adoption
of this standard did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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.

6 – BANK FINANCING
Intercreditor
Revolving Credit Facility Crestmark Bank and Iron Horse Credit
On
June 16, 2020, the Company executed an Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility 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. The Company signed a two-year
Loan and Security Agreement for a $ 10.0 million financing facility (decreasing to $ 5.0 million in off-peak season) 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 31 and is reduced to a maximum of $ 5.0 million between January 1 and July 31. Costs
associated with the closing of the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility of approximately $ 74,000 were deferred and were amortized
over one year. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company incurred amortization expense of approximately $ 17,000
and $ 3,000 , respectively associated with the amortization of deferred financing costs from the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility.
As of June 30, 2021 there was approximately $1,500,000 of available borrowings under these facilities.
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 months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded interest expense of approximately
$ 45,000 and $ 0 , respectively. The Crestmark Facility expires on June 15, 2022 . As of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 the Company had
no outstanding balance 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
was waived for the first six months of the IHC Facility. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with this covenant.
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 . Costs associated with the renewal of the IHC Facility of approximately $38,000 were
deferred and are being amortized over one year. Interest expense under the IHC Facility for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and
2020 was approximately $ 39,000 and $ 8,000 , respectively. The IHC Facility expires on June 15, 2022 . As of June 30, 2021 and March 31,
2021, there was an outstanding balance of approximately $ 365,000 and $ 65,000 , respectively.
As
both the Crestmark Facility and the IHC Facility are set to expire on June 15, 2022, the Company expects to negotiate a revision or extension
of these debt facilities upon their maturity however, there can be no assurance that such revision or extension will occur or at what
terms.
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 Small Business
Administration (“SBA”), and the SBA has provided Crestmark with the loan forgiveness amount. In June 2021 the Company received
notification from the SBA that the loan had been forgiven in its entirety and we were notified by Crestmark that the debt was discharged.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, a gain of approximately $ 448,000 (including principal and interest) from the forgiveness of
the loan was included in other income and expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

notes totaling approximately $ 365,000 for payments issued to the project vendor. The installment notes have 60-month terms with interest
rates of 7.58 % , 8.55 % and 9.25 % , respectively. The installment notes are payable in monthly installments of $ 7,459 which include principal
and interest. As of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 there was an outstanding balance on the installment notes of approximately $ 265,000
and approximately $ 281,000 , respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company incurred interest expense of
approximately $ 6,000 and $ 7,000 , respectively.
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 June 30, 2021
and 2020 interest expense was approximately $ 9,000 and $ 12,000 , 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. As of June 30, 2021 the Company met repayment requirements of the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility
to make principal payments totaling $300,000. During the next twelve months the Company intends on making additional payments and pay
off the remaining balance outstanding provided the Company meets all repayment requirements of the Crestmark Facility and IHC Facility
agreements.
As
of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the remaining amount due on the note payable was approximately $ 503,000 . The remaining amount due
on the subordinated note payable was classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets.

The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to

Company became the sole and exclusive distributor of the Company’s products in Canada. As part of the agreement, the companies
executed a Purchase and Sales agreement whereby the Company acquired all of Cosmo’s karaoke inventory for approximately $ 685,000 .
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, there was a gain of approximately $ 11,000 from Cosmo related to payments received in Fiscal
2022 on prior year sales and the related receivable previously reversed and written off as initially deemed uncollectible.

approximately $ 91,000 for both of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. These amounts were included as a component of general
and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
NOTE
11 – RESERVE FOR SALES RETURNS
A
return program for defective goods is negotiated with each of our wholesale customers on a year-to-year basis. Customers are allowed
to return defective goods within a specified period of time after shipment (between 6 and 9 months). The Company does make occasional
exceptions to this return policy and accordingly records a sales return reserve based on historic return amounts, specific exceptions
as identified and management estimates.
The
Company records a sales reserve for its return goods programs at the time of sale for estimated sales returns that may occur. The liability
for defective goods is included in the reserve for sales returns on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

13 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The
Company has a 401(k) plan for its employees to which the Company makes contributions at rates dependent on the level of each employee’s
contributions. Contributions made by the Company are limited to the maximum allowable for federal income tax purposes. The amounts charged
to operations for contributions to this plan and administrative costs during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled approximately
$ 18,000 and $ 14,000 , respectively. The amounts are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the accompanying

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 June 30, 2021, 78 % of accounts receivable were due from three
customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts receivable. At March 31, 2021, 70 % of accounts
receivable were due from four customers in North America that individually owed over 10% of total accounts receivable.
For
the three months ended June 30, 2021, there were four customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net
sales. Revenue from these customers as a percentage of net sales were 45 %, 18 %, 14 % and 14 %, respectively. For the three months ended
June 30, 2020, there were three customers who individually accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net sales. Revenues from
these customers as a percentage of net sales were 43 %, 18 % and 11 %.

“forecasts,” “intends,” “possible,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,”
“plans,” “should,” “could,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict or project future results or the effect of events on our operating results is inherently
uncertain. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be
accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved.
Important
factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) changes in external factors or

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 86% and 85% of net sales in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.
COVID-19
UPDATE
In
January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus
originating in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19 a global
pandemic on March 11, 2020 and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in
response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its duration
and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional
strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level
of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health
of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. While our facilities have remained operational during the first half of 2021, we continue
to experience various degrees of manufacturing cost pressures due to raw material and electronic component shortages as well as inflationary
price increases. Although we regularly monitor the financial health and operations of companies in our supply chain, and use alternative
suppliers when necessary and available, financial hardship or government restrictions on our suppliers or sub-suppliers caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials or components required to manufacture our products
and adversely affect our operations.
Further,
as consumer demand improves and economic activity increases, we have experienced supply chain challenges, including increased lead times,
port closures in China and delays in Los Angeles, global container shortages, as well as inflation of logistics and labor costs due to
availability constraints and high demand. We expect these inflationary trends to continue throughout the remainder of the fiscal year.
During
Fiscal 2021, we experienced growth in our karaoke, microphone, and toy categories as the pandemic increased demand for home entertainment.
For the current fiscal year, demand from consumers and retailers continue to remain strong led by shortages of toys and home entertainment
product availability in the market.
We
maintain our commitment to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers, and suppliers by continuing our enhanced safety
protocols for those on-site at our warehouse facilities. In addition, employees who do not need to be physically present at our corporate
office to perform their job responsibilities generally continue to work from home and essential business travel remains the main travel
activity. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our operational and financial performance in the future will depend on
future developments, including the duration, geographic location and intensity of the pandemic, the impact of virus variants, the rate
of vaccinations, our continued ability to manufacture and distribute our products, as well as any future actions that may be taken by
governmental authorities or by us relating to the pandemic. For more information regarding factors and events that may impact our business,
results of operations and financial condition as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A.
“Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

QUARTER
ENDED JUNE 30, 2021 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
NET
SALES
Net
sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased to approximately $6,066,000 from approximately $3,052,000 an increase of approximately
$3,014,000 as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2020. We shipped approximately $2,444,000 in holiday promotion goods to one
major customer who committed to earlier delivery for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the prior three months ended
June 30, 2020 when no holiday promotion goods were shipped to this customer. The remaining increase in sales was primarily due to another
major customer that ordinarily does not order spring goods and decided to offer our product year-round.
GROSS
PROFIT
Gross
profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased to approximately $1,578,000 from approximately $962,000 an increase of approximately
$616,000 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in net sales contributed approximately $949,000 to the increase
in gross profit but was offset by a decrease in gross profit margin percentage of approximately 5.5% or approximately $333,000.
Gross
profit margin for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 26.0% compared to 31.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 due primarily
to the increase in holiday promotion goods as explained in net sales that yield a significantly lower gross profit margin and accounted
for approximately 4.4 margin points of the 5.5 margin point decrease. The remaining decrease was primarily due to the gross margin on
the mix of products returned during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
OPERATING
EXPENSES
For
the quarter ended June 30, 2021, total operating expenses increased to approximately $2,068,000 compared to approximately $1,733,000
from the same period in the prior year. This represents an increase in total operating expenses of approximately $335,000 from the quarter
ended June 30, 2020. There was an increase in selling expenses of approximately $279,000 of which $182,000 was primarily due to variable
expenses including commissions, freight and royalties which were all commensurate with the increase in net sales. There was an increase
in discretionary expenses of approximately $97,000 due to increased on-line media marketing for the spring and summer seasons. General
and administrative expenses increased by approximately $58,000 due to increased costs associated with the logistics operations.
20
For
the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 34.0% and 56.8%, respectively.
This decrease of approximately 22.8 percentage points was primarily due to the significant increase in holiday promotion goods shipped
direct import to one major customer that incurred significantly less selling and administrative expenses as compared to goods shipped
from our California warehouse facility.
LOSS
FROM OPERATIONS
There
was a loss from operations of approximately $490,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a loss from operations of approximately
$771,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the loss from operations of approximately $281,000 was primarily due
to the increase in gross profit from increased net sales offset by an increase in operating expenses as explained above.
OTHER
INCOME (EXPENSES)
Other
income, net decreased by approximately $142,000 to approximately $343,000 in other income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2021
compared to approximately $485,000 in other income, net for the same period ended June 30, 2020. For the three months ended June 30,
2021, there were one-time gains of approximately $459,000 primarily due to forgiveness of the loan under the Paycheck Protection Program
of approximately $448,000 which included principal and interest and offset by $116,000 in other expenses primarily due to interest paid
on the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, there were one-time gains of approximately
$521,000 due to a gain from insurance proceeds received for a damaged goods claim of approximately $131,000 and settlement of accounts
payable of approximately $390,000 by the vendor responsible for the damaged goods. These one-time gains were offset by approximately
$36,000 in other expenses primarily due to interest paid on existing debt.
INCOME
TAXES
For
the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 the Company recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $28,000 and $79,000, respectively,
due to management’s best estimate of the Company’s full year effective tax rate of approximately 19.1% and 27.6%, respectively.
NET
INCOME
For
the three months ended June 30, 2021 there was a net loss of approximately $119,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $207,000
for the same period a year ago. The increase in net income was primarily due to the same reasons discussed in Loss from Operations and
Other Income (Expenses).
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As
of June 30, 2021, Singing Machine had cash on hand of approximately $1,383,000 as compared to cash on hand of approximately $1,805,000
on June 30, 2020. We had working capital of approximately $5,556,000 as of June 30, 2021. Net cash provided by operating activities was
approximately $794,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to approximately $244,000 used in operating activities for
the same period a year ago. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 there was a decrease in amounts due from Crestmark Bank of approximately
$4,214,000 as cash collected in excess of amounts due on accounts receivable financing was transferred to operating cash. There was an
increase in accounts payable of approximately $3,790,000 primarily related to the purchase of inventory for the upcoming peak season.
These increases to cash provided by operating expenses were offset by an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $3,251,000
due to the increase in sales to two major customers and an increase in inventories of approximately $2,880,000 due to an earlier build-up
of inventory for the upcoming peak season due to global logistics issues and risks.
Net
cash used in operating activities was approximately $244,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the three months ended
June 30, 2020 there was a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $2,913,000 as the Company paid past due invoices to the vendor
that caused the damaged goods incident as explained below. There was a seasonal decrease in reserves for sales returns of approximately
$844,000, a decrease in accrued expenses of approximately $521,000 and a decrease in refunds due to customers of approximately $415,000
primarily due to repayment of chargebacks to one customer for damaged goods received as explained below. These decreases in cash used
in operating activities were offset by a decrease in amounts due from PNC Bank and Crestmark for collections on accounts receivable that
exceeded amounts due on the PNC and Crestmark Revolving Credit Facilities of approximately $2,121,000, a decrease in insurance receivable
of approximately $1,269,000 primarily due to proceeds received from the damaged goods insurance claim as explained below. Inventories
decreased by approximately $698,000 primarily due to one major customer buying goods for a summer program due to the increased demand
for karaoke products.
Net
cash used in investing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $56,000 as compared to approximately $45,000
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 three months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $248,000 compared to cash provided by
financing activities of approximately $1,749,000 for the same period ended of the prior year. During the three months ended June 30,
2021, we borrowed approximately $300,000 from our Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility for working capital. These financing activities
were offset by payments made on deferred finance charges associated with the renewal of the IHC Facility of approximately $38,000 with
the remaining difference primarily used to pay scheduled installments on installment notes and finance leases.
21
Net
cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was approximately $1,749,000. We borrowed $1,400,000 from
our IHC Facility and received loan proceeds from Crestmark in the amount of approximately $444,000 million 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.
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 4 – Bank Financing). As of this filing, we have borrowed approximately $990,000 on the IHC Facility, which provides for
a maximum loan amount of $2,500,000 on eligible inventory and borrowed approximately $500,000 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
$2,200,000 currently available from these two credit facilities.
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 Small Business
Administration (“SBA”), and the SBA provided Crestmark with the loan forgiveness amount. In June 2021 the Company received
notification from the SBA that the loan had been forgiven in its entirety. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, a gain of approximately
$448,000 (including principal and interest) from the forgiveness of the loan was included in other income and expenses in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations.
On
August 5, 2021, the Company entered into a stock redemption agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with Koncepts International
Limited (“Koncepts”) and Treasure Green Holdings, Ltd. (“Treasure Green”), pursuant to which the Company agreed
to redeem approximately 19,623,155 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Redeemed Shares”). The closing of the transactions
set forth in the Redemption Agreement took place on August 10, 2021, at which time the Redeemed Shares were assigned and transferred
back to the Company and the Company wired approximately $7,200,000 to Koncepts and Treasure Green. The Redeemed Shares shall be retired
to treasury and shall become available for reissuance in the future.
On
August 5, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with large institutional
investors and a strategic investor for private placement of (i) 16,500,000 shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) together
with common warrants to purchase up to 16,500,000 shares of common stock for an exercise price of $0.35 per share, and (ii) 16,833,333
pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) with each Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an
exercise price of $0.01 per share, together with Common Warrants to purchase up to 16,833,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $0.35 per share (the “Private Placement”). Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants
are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares”. The closing of the Private Placement took place on August 10, 2021,
when the Shares, Common Warrants, and Pre-Funded Warrants were delivered to the purchasers and funds, in the amount of approximately
$9,800,000, were wired to the Company. Approximately $7,200,000 of the funds received were used to execute the Redemption Agreement.
The Company expects an increase in working capital of approximately $1,800,000 of working capital after settlement of expenses associated
with closing of these transactions.
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 in fiscal 2020. As of the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2021 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 consolidated statement of income as of March 31, 2021. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 the gain from damaged goods
insurance claim was approximately $0 and $131,000, respectively. We also secured vendor invoice credits of $390,000 from the factory
that caused the damage which is reflected as gain from settlement of accounts payable in the condensed consolidated statement of operations
for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Effective
as of August 10, 2021, and in connection with the transactions set forth in the Redemption Agreement and Purchase Agreement (as defined
above ), Phillip Lau, Peter Hon, and Yat Tung Lau (each a “Director” and together, the “Directors”) resigned
from the Board of Directors of the Company. The Directors’ resignations are not a result of a disagreement on any matter relating
to the Company. The Company intends to fill the newly created vacancies on the Board in due course.

We
believe that current working capital, the availability of cash from our Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility (See Note 6 – Bank
Financing), additional working capital generated by the private placement 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 remaining 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. As both the Crestmark Facility and the IHC Facility are set to expire on June 15, 2022,
the Company expects to negotiate a revision or extension of these debt facilities upon their maturity however, there can be no assurance
that such revision or extension will occur or at what terms.
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 2021 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.
In
connection with the filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021, we identified a material weakness primarily related to
the consolidated financial statements close process that failed to detect errors which could have been material in the accounting for
inventory cutoff and the inventory valuation of estimated returns. Specifically, the Company currently has a deficient process to close
the consolidated financial statements and prepare comprehensive and timely account analysis, due in part to a new accounting software
system, which resulted in certain adjusting journal entries.
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 the following measures:
●
The
Company implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system in Fiscal 2021 that contributed to the material
weaknesses. Management has identified system processing errors specifically related to when returned goods are recognized in inventory
and how they are costed. Management is currently working with our third-party systems support group to correct these system errors.
●
Management
plans on strengthening the ERP system training for both finance and warehouse personnel with regards to inventory cutoff and valuation
procedures to insure personnel working with inventory are thoroughly familiar with procedures for processing returns.
●
Management
will also assess whether current resources are adequate to maintain proper inventory controls once the system errors have been remediated
and additional training is completed and will explore the possibility of additional third-party assistance if necessary.
(c)
Changes in Internal Controls
There
were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, that materially
affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On
September 11, 2020, a Complaint was filed against the Company’s SMCL subsidiary and various staffing agencies used by SMCL in a
Superior Court of San Bernadino County. The complaint alleges an employee of SMCL committed employment practice violations against a
former temporary employee not employed by SMCL. Management has investigated the allegation and has engaged with an employment attorney
to defend the lawsuit. Management does not believe the claims have merit and does not believe the lawsuit will have a material adverse
effect on our financial results.
Management
is not aware of any other legal proceedings other than matters that arise in the ordinary course of business.
