NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 1 — BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emerson Radio Corp. and its subsidiaries (“Emerson” or the “Company”). The Company designs, sources, imports and markets certain houseware and consumer electronic products, and licenses the Company’s trademarks for a variety of products.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of  September 30, 2025 and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary in order to make the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements not misleading have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes; actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and accordingly do not include all of the disclosures normally made in the Company’s annual condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended  March 31, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”), included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025.

 

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for any other condensed interim period or for the full year ending March 31, 2026 (“fiscal 2026”).

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) which relate to or could relate to the Company as concerns the Company’s normal ongoing operations or the industry in which the Company operates.

 

Accounting Standards Update 2024-03 Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (Issued November 2024)

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” This ASU requires public business entities to disclose, for interim and annual reporting periods, additional information about certain income statement expense categories. The requirements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Entities are permitted to apply either the prospective or retrospective transition methods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" Income Statement Expenses" (Issued December 2023)

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public entities with annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates as one reportable segment under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting. The chief operating decision maker regularly reviews the financial information of the Company at a consolidated level in determining how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales to customers and related cost of sales are primarily recognized at the point in time when control of goods transfers to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue at the time title passes to the customer as this is when the Company satisfies its performance obligation under the contracts with its customers. Control is considered to be transferred when the customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits of that good. Under the Direct Import Program, title passes in the country of origin when the goods are passed over the rail of the customer’s vessel. Under the Domestic Program, title passes primarily at the time of shipment. Estimates for future expected returns are based upon historical return rates and netted against revenues.

 

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. Revenue is recorded net of customer discounts, promotional allowances, volume rebates and similar charges. When the Company offers the right to return product, historical experience is utilized to establish a liability for the estimate of expected returns. Sales and other tax amounts collected from customers for remittance to governmental authorities are excluded from revenue.

 

Management must make estimates of potential future product returns related to current period product revenue. Management analyzes historical returns, current economic trends and changes in customer demand for the Company’s products when evaluating the adequacy of the reserve for sales returns. Management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the sales return reserves in any accounting period. Additional reserves may be required if actual sales returns increase above the historical return rates. Conversely, the sales return reserve could be decreased if the actual return rates are less than the historical return rates, which were used to establish the reserve.

 

---

 

Sales allowances, marketing support programs, promotions and other volume-based incentives which are provided to retailers and distributors are accounted for on an accrual basis as a reduction to net revenues in the period in which the related sales are recognized in accordance with ASC topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”).

 

At the time of sale, the Company reduces recognized gross revenue by allowances to cover, in addition to estimated sales returns as required by ASC 606, (i) sales incentives offered to customers that meet the criteria for accrual and (ii) an estimated amount to recognize additional non-offered deductions it anticipates and can reasonably estimate will be taken by customers, which it does not expect to recover. Accruals for the estimated amount of future non-offered deductions are required to be made as contra-revenue items, because that percentage of shipped revenue fails to meet the collectability criteria within ASC 606.

 

If additional marketing support programs, promotions and other volume-based incentives are required to promote the Company’s products subsequent to the initial sale, then additional reserves may be required and are accrued for when such support is offered.

 

The Company offers limited warranties for its consumer electronics, comparable to those offered to consumers by the Company’s competitors in the United States. Such warranties typically consist of a one year period for microwaves and refrigerators and a 90 day period for audio products, under which the Company pays for labor and parts, or offers a new or similar unit in exchange for a non-performing unit. The Company estimates its warranty reserve based on sales and its historical warranty claim rates.

 

Licensing: In addition to the distribution of products, the Company grants licenses for the right to access the Company’s intellectual property, specifically the Company’s trademarks, for a stated term for the manufacture and/or sale of consumer electronics and other products under agreements which require payment of either (i) a non-refundable minimum guaranteed royalty or, (ii) the greater of (a) the actual royalties due (based on a contractual calculation, normally comprised of actual product sales by the licensee multiplied by a stated royalty rate, or “Sales Royalties”) or (b) a minimum guaranteed royalty amount. In the case of the foregoing clause (i), such amounts are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the license agreement. In the case of the foregoing clause (ii), Sales Royalties in excess of guaranteed minimums are accounted for as variable fees and are not recognized as revenue until the Company has ascertained that the licensee’s sales of products have exceeded the guaranteed minimum. In effect, the Company recognizes the greater of Sales Royalties earned to date or the straight-line amount of minimum guaranteed royalties to date. In the case where a royalty is paid to the Company in advance, the royalty payment is initially recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue as the royalties are deemed to be earned according to the principles outlined above. As of September 30, 2025, the Company recorded deferred revenue of approximately $32,000 as compared to approximately $96,000 as of March 31, 2025 on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded deferred revenue of $149,000 as compared to approximately $191,000 as of March 31, 2024 on its condensed consolidated balance sheets. All of the deferred revenue for the periods presented are related to licensing revenue.

Accounts Receivable, net

 

The Company extends credit based upon evaluations of a customer’s financial condition and provides for any anticipated credit losses in the Company’s financial statements based upon management’s estimates and ongoing reviews of recorded allowances. The disclosure of the credit loss calculated is based on reasonable and supportable forecasts including historical, current and forecasted information. Credit is extended for periods between 30 and 150 days, on a net basis. If the financial condition of a customer deteriorates, resulting in an impairment of that customer’s ability to make payments, additional reserves may be required. Conversely, reserves are reduced to reflect credit and collection improvements. Receivables are written off once they are considered uncollectible. The accounts receivable balance on a net basis was approximately $1,203,000 as of  September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $1,499,000 as of  March 31, 2025 and approximately $1,343,000 as of March 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, Amazon.com ("Amazon") accounted for approximately 59% and Fred Meyer Inc. ("Fred Meyer") accounted for approximately 15% of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable, net of specific reserves. As of March 31, 2025, Amazon accounted for approximately 59% and Variety Wholesalers Inc. ("Variety") accounted for approximately 19% of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable, net of specific reserves. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total trade accounts receivable, net of specific reserves, as of  September 30, 2025 or March 31, 2025.

NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES

 

As of  September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $21.4 million of U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards. These losses do not expire but are limited to utilization of 80% of taxable income in any one year. At September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $23.2 million of U.S. state NOL carry forwards. The tax benefits related to these state NOL carry forwards and future deductible temporary differences are recorded to the extent management believes it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized.

 

The Company analyzed the future reasonability of recognizing its deferred tax assets at September 30, 2025. As a result, the Company concluded that a 100% valuation allowance of approximately $6,739,000 would be recorded against the assets.

 

The income of foreign subsidiaries before taxes was approximately $165,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to income of foreign subsidiaries before taxes of approximately $249,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2024. The income of foreign subsidiaries before taxes was approximately $344,000 for the six month period ended  September 30, 2025 as compared to income of foreign subsidiaries before taxes of approximately $520,000 for the six month period ended  September 30, 2024.

 

Although the Company generated a net operating loss, it recorded income tax expense of approximately $9,000 during the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2025, primarily resulting from state income taxes. During the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2024, the Company generated a net operating loss and recorded income tax expense of nil and approximately $3,000, respectively, primarily resulting from state income taxes. After the adoption of ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” during fiscal 2022, these non-income based state taxes are now reported within selling, general and administrative expenses.

 

The Company is subject to examination and assessment by tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s open tax years for examination for U.S. federal tax are 2018-2025, and for U.S. states’ tax are 2016-2025. Based on the outcome of tax examinations or due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken in previously filed returns may be different from the liabilities that have been recorded for these unrecognized tax benefits. As a result, the Company may be subject to additional tax expense.

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company is asserting under ASC 740-30 that all of the unremitted earnings of its foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely invested. The Company evaluates this assertion each period based on a number of factors, including the operating plans, budgets, and forecasts for both the Company and its foreign subsidiaries; the long-term and short-term financial requirements in the U.S. and in each foreign jurisdiction; and the tax consequences of any decision to repatriate earnings of foreign subsidiaries to the U.S.

 

As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company had a federal tax liability of nil and approximately $668,000, respectively, related to the repatriation of the Company’s undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. As of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company’s short term portion was nil and approximately $668,000, respectively. As of each of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the Company's long term portion was nil.

 

The liability was payable over 8 years. The first five installments were each equal to 8%, the sixth was equal to 15%, the seventh was equal to 20% and the final installment was equal to 25% of the liability. The Company paid its eighth and final installment in July 2025.

Under ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, such as cash, short term deposits and short term investments approximate fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments and are classified under the fair value hierarchy of Level 1.

 

NOTE 8 — CONCENTRATION RISK

 

Customer Concentration

 

For the three month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 77% of the Company’s net revenues, of which Amazon accounted for approximately 56%, Costco accounted for approximately 11% and Variety accounted for approximately 10%. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's net revenues during the period. 

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 62% of the Company’s net revenues, of which Amazon accounted for approximately 31%, Variety accounted for approximately 16% and Fred Meyer accounted for approximately 15%. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's net revenues during the period. 

 

For the three month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 86% of the Company’s net revenues, of which Walmart accounted for approximately 42%, Amazon accounted for approximately 31% and Fred Meyer accounted for approximately 13%. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's net revenues during the period.

 

For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s three largest customers accounted for approximately 84% of the Company’s net revenues, of which Walmart accounted for approximately 39%, Amazon accounted for approximately 34% and Fred Meyer accounted for approximately 11%. No other customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's net revenues during the period.

 

A significant decline in net sales to any of the Company’s key customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation.

Product Concentration

 

For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s gross product sales included microwave ovens, which generated approximately 63% and 76%, respectively, of the Company’s gross product sales and audio products, which generated approximately 27% and 18%, respectively, of the Company’s gross product sales. No other products accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's gross product sales during the respective periods.

 

For the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s gross product sales included microwave ovens, which generated approximately 43% and 45%, respectively, of the Company’s gross product sales and audio products, which generated approximately 55% and 52%, respectively, of the Company’s gross product sales. No other products accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's gross product sales during the respective periods.    

  

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s top two customers accounted for approximately 59% and 15%, respectively, of the Company's total trade accounts receivable, net of specific reserves. No other customers accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's total trade accounts receivable, net of specific reserves, as of such date. As of March 31, 2025, the Company's top two customer's accounted for approximately 59% and 19%, respectively, of the Company's total trade accounts receivable, net of specific reserves. No other customers accounted for greater than 10% of the Company's total trade accounts receivable, net of specific reserves, as of such date. The Company periodically performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral, and the Company provides for any anticipated credit losses in the financial statements based upon management’s estimates and ongoing reviews of recorded allowances. The allowance for credit losses on the Company's total trade accounts receivable balances was approximately $1,113,000 as of  September 30, 2025 and $1,107,000 as of  March 31, 2025. Due to the high concentration of the Company’s net trade accounts receivables among just two customers, any significant failure by one of these customers to pay the Company the amounts owing against these receivables would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The Company maintains its cash accounts with major U.S. and foreign financial institutions. The Company’s cash balances on deposit in the U.S. as of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025 were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per qualifying bank account in accordance with FDIC rules. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances in excess of these FDIC-insured limits were approximately $0.8 million and approximately $0.9 million at September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The Company also has short term deposits in foreign financial institutions which are not FDIC insured of approximately $12.5 million and $14.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.

 

Supplier Concentration

 

During the three month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company procured 100% of its products for resale from its three largest factory suppliers, of which approximately 46% was supplied by its largest supplier and approximately 27%, and 27%, respectively, was supplied by the other two suppliers. During the three month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company procured approximately 91% of its products for resale from its four largest factory suppliers, of which approximately 47% was supplied by its largest supplier and approximately 16%, 16% and 12%, respectively, was supplied by the other three suppliers. No other suppliers accounted for greater than 10% for either the three month period ended September 30, 2025 or  September 30, 2024.

 

During the six month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company procured approximately 93% of its products for resale from its three largest factory suppliers, of which approximately 41% was supplied by its largest supplier and approximately 30%, and 22%, respectively, was supplied by the other two suppliers. During the six month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company procured 100% of its products for resale from its five largest factory suppliers, of which approximately 38% was supplied by its largest supplier and approximately 19%, 17%, 16% and 10%, respectively, was supplied by the other four suppliers. No other suppliers accounted for greater than 10% for either the three month period ended September 30, 2025 or  September 30, 2024.

The Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all leased assets. The Company did not identify any events or conditions during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 to indicate that a reassessment or re-measurement of the Company’s existing leases was required.

 

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s current operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities were $153,000 and $1,000, respectively and its non-current operating lease liabilities and finance lease liabilities were $243,000 and $4,000, respectively. The Company’s operating and finance lease right-of-use asset balances are presented in non-current assets. The net balance of the Company’s operating and finance lease right-of-use assets as of September 30, 2025 was $374,000 and $5,000, respectively.

 

As disclosed in "Note 6 - Related Party Transactions", the Company's Hong Kong office space is being leased from VACL, which is a company related to the Company's Chairman. As of  September 30, 2025, the current operating liability of this lease is approximately $105,000 and its non-current liability is $106,000. Its right-of-use asset value is approximately $211,000, as of  September 30, 2025.

NOTE 10 —LEGAL PROCEEDINGS  

 

On October 10, 2023, the US District Court for the District of Delaware granted final judgment in favor of the Company in its trademark infringement lawsuit against air conditioning and heating products provider Emerson Quiet Kool and wholesaler Home Easy (the “defendants”). Among other things, the court order issues an injunction and directs the US Patent and Trademark Office to cancel the defendants’ existing and proposed "Emerson Quiet Kool" trademarks and prohibits defendants from registering or applying to register, or using the same mark or any other mark or name containing the word "Emerson" going forward. The total judgment awarded to the Company has increased from approximately $6.5 million to approximately $10.4 million, inclusive of disgorgement of wrongful profits, attorney's fees and enhanced damages. The aggregate award to the Company also includes the $4.1 million of advanced deposits previously paid to the Company. The $4.1 million of advanced deposits was reduced by approximately $1 million of incurred legal fees. The remaining balance of $3.1 million was released by the Company to other income during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Like any judgement, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to collect the entire judgement or if it is able to collect, how soon it will be able to do so. The defendants have filed separate bankruptcy petitions in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, and there is no guarantee that those bankruptcy proceedings will not have any effect on the ability of the Company to collect the judgement. In addition, in connection with those bankruptcy proceedings, the Chapter 7 trustee of Home Easy has filed a complaint seeking the return of the $4.1 million of advanced deposits previously paid to the Company and the outcome of such litigation remains uncertain. The Company is not currently a party to any other legal proceedings other than litigation matters, in most cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to its business. Management cannot estimate with certainty the Company’s ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to such pending litigation matters. However, management believes, based on its examination of such matters, that the Company’s ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 11 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company currently operates as one segment which includes two revenue types, product sales and licensing revenue. While the Company discloses product sales and licensing revenue separately, management does not consider these to be separate segments, as all Emerson branded product is sold though similar sales channels and to similar customers. Management's determination for the allocation of resources is not analyzed by revenue streams, but as a single business unit. The determination of a single business segment is consistent with the consolidated financial information provided to the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The Company's CODMs are the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer who review and evaluate consolidated net income for purposes of assessing performance, allocating resources, making operating decisions and for its planning and forecasting processes. Segment expenses are provided to the CODM on the same basis as disclosed in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The CODM does not evaluate performance nor does it allocate resources based on segment assets and therefore such information is not presented in the notes to the financial statements.

Net product sales — Net product sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $1.1 million as compared to approximately $2.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $1.6 million, or 57.8%. The Company’s sales during the three month period ended September 30, 2025 were highly concentrated among its three largest customers – Amazon, Costco and Walmart – comprising in the aggregate approximately 83% of the Company’s total net product sales during the period. The Company’s sales during the three month period ended September 30, 2024, were highly concentrated among its three largest customers – Walmart, Amazon and Fred Meyer – comprising in the aggregate approximately 88% of the Company’s total net product sales during the period.

 

Net product sales for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $2.7 million as compared to approximately $4.8 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $2.1 million, or 43.4%. The Company’s sales during the six month period ended September 30, 2025 were highly concentrated among its three largest customers – Amazon, Variety and Fred Meyer – comprising in the aggregate approximately 65% of the Company’s total net product sales during the period. The Company’s sales during the six month period ended September 30, 2024, were highly concentrated among its three largest customers – Walmart, Amazon and Fred Meyer – comprising in the aggregate approximately 86% of the Company’s total net product sales during the period.

 

Net product sales are comprised primarily of the sales of houseware and audio products which bear the Emerson® brand name. Net product sales may be periodically impacted by adjustments made to the Company’s sales allowance and marketing support accrual to record unanticipated customer deductions from accounts receivable or to reduce the accrual by any amounts which were accrued in the past but not taken by customers through deductions from accounts receivable within a certain time period. In the aggregate, these adjustments had the effect of increasing net product sales and operating income by nil and approximately $11,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and by nil and approximately $21,000 for the six month periods ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The major elements which contributed to the overall increase in net product sales were as follows:

 

i)    Houseware products:      Net sales of houseware products decreased approximately $0.4 million, or 33.1%, to approximately $0.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $1.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, driven by decreased net sales of microwave ovens. Certain of the Company's key customers refuse to accept price increases from recently imposed tariffs, which negatively impacted net sales during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Net sales of houseware products decreased $0.1 million, or 3.4%, to approximately $2.2 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $2.3 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2024, driven by decreased net sales of microwave ovens and compact refrigerators.

 

ii)   Audio products:              Net sales of audio products decreased approximately $1.2 million, or 78.3%, to approximately $0.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $1.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a discontinued clock radio at Walmart. Net sales of audio products decreased approximately $2.0 million, or 80.9%, to approximately $0.5 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $2.5 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a discontinued clock radio at Walmart. 

 

Business operations — The Company expects to continue to expand its existing distribution channels and to develop and promote new products with retailers in the U.S and Mexico. The Company is also continuing to invest in products and marketing activities to expand its sales through internet and ecommerce channels. These efforts require investments in appropriate human resources, media marketing and development of products in various categories in addition to the traditional home appliances and audio products on which the Company has historically focused. The Company also is continuing its efforts to identify strategic courses of action related to its licensing activities, including seeking new licensing relationships. The Company has engaged each of Leveraged Marketing Corporation of America and Global Licensing Services Pte Limited as an agent to assist in identifying and procuring potential licensees.

 

 

Emerson’s success is dependent on its ability to anticipate and respond to changing consumer demands and trends in a timely manner, as well as expanding into new markets and sourcing new products that are profitable to the Company. Geo-political factors may also affect the Company’s operations and demand for the Company’s products, which are subject to customs requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments through mutual agreements and bilateral actions. The Company expects that U.S. tariffs on categories of products that the Company imports from China, and China’s retaliatory tariffs on certain goods imported from the United States, as well as modifications to international trade policy, will continue to affect its product costs going forward. Although the Company is monitoring the trade and political environment and working to mitigate the possible effect of tariffs with its suppliers as well as its customers through pricing and sourcing strategies, the Company cannot be certain how its customers and competitors will react to the actions taken. If the Company's mitigation efforts are unsuccessful, the combination of tariffs will result in significantly increased annualized costs to the Company as all of the Company’s products are currently manufactured by suppliers in China. In addition, heightened tensions between the United States and China over Hong Kong and any resulting retaliatory policies may affect our operations in Hong Kong. At this time the Company is unable to quantify possible effects on its costs arising from the new tariffs, which are expected to increase the Company’s inventory costs and associated costs of sales as tariffs are incurred, and some costs may be passed through to the Company’s customers as product price increases in the future. However, if the Company is unable to successfully pass through the additional costs or otherwise mitigate the effects of these tariffs, or if the higher prices reduce demand for the Company’s products, it will have a negative effect on the Company’s product sales and gross margins.

 

In light of the adverse macroeconomic conditions domestically and internationally, the Company has implemented certain cost-reduction actions intended to reduce expenditures. However, the economic environment remains uncertain. Demand for the Company’s products remains competitive and requires the Company to continue carefully managing inventory. Accordingly, our current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of our future operating results and trends.

 

For more information on risks associated with the Company’s operations, please see the risk factors within Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.

 

Legal Proceedings — On October 10, 2023, the US District Court for the District of Delaware granted final judgment in favor of the Company in its trademark infringement lawsuit against air conditioning and heating products provider Emerson Quiet Kool and wholesaler Home Easy (the “defendants”). Among other things, the court order issues an injunction and directs the US Patent and Trademark Office to cancel the defendants’ existing and proposed "Emerson Quiet Kool" trademarks and prohibits defendants from registering or applying to register, or using the same mark or any other mark or name containing the word "Emerson" going forward. The total judgment awarded to the Company has increased from approximately $6.5 million to approximately $10.4 million, inclusive of disgorgement of wrongful profits, attorney's fees and enhanced damages.

Like any judgement, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to collect the entire judgement or if it is able to collect, how soon it will be able to do so. The defendants have filed separate bankruptcy petitions in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, and there is no guarantee that those bankruptcy proceedings will not have any effect on the ability of the Company to collect the judgement. In addition, in connection with those bankruptcy proceedings, the Chapter 7 trustee of Home Easy has filed a complaint seeking the return of the $4.1 million of advanced deposits previously paid to the Company and the outcome of such litigation remains uncertain. The Company is not currently a party to any other legal proceedings other than litigation matters, in most cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to its business.

However, management believes, based on its examination of such matters, that the Company’s ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Licensing revenue — Licensing revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $88,000 as compared to approximately $68,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, an increase of approximately $20,000, or 29.4%. The increase for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 was the result of increases of annual guaranteed minimum royalties of the Company's licensees. 

 

Licensing revenue for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 was approximately $174,000 as compared to approximately $137,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2024, an increase of approximately $37,000, or 27.0%. The increase for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 was the result of increases of annual guaranteed minimum royalties of the Company's licensees.

 

Net revenues — Net revenues were approximately $1.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $2.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million, or 55.6%. The decrease in net revenues can be attributed primarily to the discontinuation of a clock radio at Walmart.

 

Net revenues were approximately $2.9 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $4.9 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $2.0 million, or 41.5%. The decrease in net revenues can be attributed primarily to the discontinuation of a clock radio.

 

Cost of sales — Cost of sales decreased approximately $1.3 million, or 50.7%, to approximately $1.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $2.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in absolute terms for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2024 was primarily related to the discontinuation of a clock radio at Walmart and the negative impact of tariffs on the Company's microwave product line.

 

Cost of sales decreased approximately $1.6 million, or 35.6%, to approximately $2.9 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $4.5 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in absolute terms for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the six month period ended September 30, 2024 was primarily related to the discontinuation of a clock radio at Walmart and the negative impact of tariffs on the Company's microwave product line.

 

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“S,G&A”) — S,G&A was approximately $1.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $1.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million or 14.0%. S,G&A, as a percentage of net revenues, was approximately 98.4% for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately 50.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in S,G&A for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in compensation costs of approximately $177,000 and a decrease in advertising costs of approximately $32,000 partially offset by an increase in legal fees of approximately $38,000. Compensation costs for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $645,000 as compared to approximately $822,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2024. Advertising costs for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $13,000 as compared to approximately $45,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2024. Legal fees for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $93,000 as compared to approximately $55,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2024.

 

 S,G&A was approximately $2.5 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $2.8 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $0.3 million or 10.3%. S,G&A, as a percentage of net revenues, was approximately 87.0% for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately 56.8% for the six month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in S,G&A for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the six month period ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by a decrease in compensation costs of approximately $102,000, a decrease in legal fees of approximately $102,000 and a decrease in travel and entertainment costs of approximately $38,000. Compensation costs for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $1,415,000 as compared to approximately $1,517,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2024. Legal fees for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $136,000 as compared to approximately $238,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2024. Travel and entertainment costs for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 were approximately $27,000 as compared to approximately $65,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2024. 

 

Interest income, net — Interest income, net, was approximately $153,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $236,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $83,000. The decrease was primarily due to lower levels of cash invested on the Company’s short term investments.

 

Interest income, net, was approximately $322,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $499,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $177,000. The decrease was primarily due to lower levels of cash invested on the Company’s short term investments.

 

Provision for income taxes — For both three month periods ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of nil. For the six month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded income tax expense of nil as compared to approximately $3,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2024. The Company under the adoption of ASU 2019-12 “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” incurred non-income based state taxes of approximately $9,000 for each of the six month periods ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, which are now reported as S,G&A. See “Note 5 – Income Taxes”.

 

Although the Company generated a net loss during the three and six months ended September 30, 2025, it is unable to realize an income tax benefit until the Company can demonstrate the ability to generate net income on a sustained basis. Therefore, the Company is obligated to record a 100% valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

 

Net loss — As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company realized a net loss of approximately $1,043,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to a net loss of approximately $881,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2024.

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company realized a net loss of approximately $2,183,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2025 as compared to a net loss of approximately $1,843,000 for the six month period ended September 30, 2024.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital decreased to approximately $18.9 million at September 30, 2025 as compared to approximately $21.1 million at March 31, 2025. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.3 million was due to the net loss generated during the period of approximately $2.2 million, the decrease in income tax payable of approximately $0.7 million, an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets of approximately $0.1 million and an increase in inventory of approximately $0.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in short term deposits of approximately $2.3 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $0.3 million and an increase in accounts payable and current liabilities of approximately $0.2 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d — 15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Our controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2025, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

The Company is, and from time to time may become, involved in legal proceedings, in most cases involving ordinary and routine claims incidental to its business. Management cannot estimate with certainty the Company’s ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to any such pending litigation matters. However, management believes, based on its examination of such matters, that the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Information relating to our ongoing legal proceedings is described in Note 11 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025.
