NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the respective fiscal years. The consolidated statement of financial condition at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statement presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for additional disclosures and accounting policies.

 

Reclassifications

 

For comparability, reclassifications of certain prior-year balances were made to conform with current-year presentations, such as certain expenses previously included in cost of revenues and reclassified as sales, general, and administrative expenses in 2022.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and one of its subsidiaries, SQL Lighting and Fans LLC from January 1, 2022 and the results from its remaining subsidiaries, Belami, Inc., BEC, CA 1, Inc., BEC CA 2, LLC, Luna BEC, Inc., and Confero Group LLC from April 28 to June 30, 2023. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Business Combination

 

The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires recording of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations related to the business combination are included prospectively beginning with the date of acquisition and transaction costs and transaction costs related to business combinations are recorded within selling, general, and administrative expenses.

 

The Company acquired the outstanding units of Belami, Inc (“Belami”) and its subsidiaries on April 28, 2023. Belami is an online retailer and e-commerce provider specializing in home lighting, ceiling fans, and other home furnishings. The initial allocation of purchase price is subject to adjustment through April 2024. The Company is in initial discussion with the sellers to determine certain assets acquired and assumed liabilities which are the basis of adjustments to retained earnings and working capital. The initial allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

 SCHEDULE OF INITIAL ALLOCATION OF THE PURCHASE PRICE

Assets acquired excluding identifiable intangible assets and goodwill		$	7,090,094
Customer relationships			4,500,000
E-commerce technology platforms			3,900,000
Goodwill			15,252,420
Assumed liabilities			(10,462,590	)
Total Assets Acquired		$	20,271,916
Consideration:
Cash outlay, net of cash acquired		$	4,206,200
Consideration payable			8,738,000
Shares of common stock issued at initial closing			7,327,716
Total purchase price		$	20,271,916

 

Consideration payable primarily consists of the fair value of cash and shares of the Company’s stock amounting to $3.2 million and $5.5 million payable in April 2024 and $750,000 cash, held in escrow, payable in July 2024. The consideration payable is discounted using an effective rate of 6%.

 

The goodwill recognized, none of which is deductible for income tax purposes, is attributable to the assembled workforce of Belami and to expected synergies and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining its operations with Belami’s. The intangible assets recognized are primarily attributable to expected increased margins that the Company believes will result from Belami’s existing customer relationships and increased margins from the e-commerce technology platforms Belami has developed over the years.

 

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s cash composition was as follows:

 SCHEDULE OF CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH

		June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents		$	18,085,104			$	6,720,543
Restricted cash			5,611,054				2,741,054
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		$	23,696,158			$	9,461,597

 

Restricted Assets

 

The Company issued a letter of credit of $2.7 million in September 2022 to use as collateral for certain obligations to one of its lessors. The letter of credit was issued by a financial institution and was secured by cash of $2.7 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Additionally, pursuant to the Company’s acquisition of Belami, Inc., the Company placed $750,000 in an escrow account. Furthermore, the Company secured a line of credit of $2.0 million with cash of the equivalent amount.

 

Customer Contracts Balances

 

Accounts receivable are recorded in the period when the right to receive payment or other consideration becomes unconditional. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an estimate of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are from third-party payers and are paid within a few days from the order date. The Company determines the allowance based upon individual accounts when information indicates the customers may have an inability to meet their financial obligations, historical experience, and currently available evidence. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $37,088 and $0, respectively. The Company determines an allowance for sales returns based upon historical experience. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s allowance for sales returns was $393,820 and $0, respectively and is recorded as an accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company defers the revenue related to undelivered customer orders for which it was paid or has a right to be paid at each measurement date. Such amounts are recognized as deferred revenues in the accompanying unaudited balance sheet. As of June 30, 2023, the deferred revenues amounted to $1,662,815. There were no deferred revenues as of December 31, 2022.

 

The costs associated with such deferred revenues are recognized as deferred charges in the accompanying unaudited balance sheet. Such charges include the carrying value of related inventory, freight, and sales charges. The deferred charges amounted to $1,296,181 as of June 30, 2023. There were no deferred charges as of December 31, 2022.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Cost principally consists of the purchase price (adjusted for lower of cost or market), customs, duties, and freight. The Company periodically reviews historical sales activity to determine potentially obsolete items and evaluates the impact of any anticipated changes in future demand.

SCHEDULE OF INVENTORY

		June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
Inventory, component parts		$	2,269,355			$	1,923,540
Inventory, finished goods			2,554,353				—
Total inventory		$	4,823,708			$	1,923,540

 

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets were recorded in connection with the acquisition of Belami. Intangible assets with finite lives, which consist of customer relationships and e-commerce technology platforms, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Such intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of its intangible assets by determining whether the unamortized balance can be recovered over the assets’ remaining estimated useful life through undiscounted estimated future cash flows. If undiscounted estimated future cash flows indicate that the unamortized amounts will not be recovered, an adjustment will be made to reduce such amounts to fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with achieving such cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are based on trends of historical performance and the Company’s estimate of future performance, considering existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill, which was recorded in connection with the acquisition of Belami, is not subject to amortization and is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of Belami over the fair value of its identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level. Fair value is typically based upon estimated future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved or market-based comparables. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, then an analysis will be performed to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. An impairment loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount over its implied fair value. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of goodwill is its new accounting basis. Accounting guidance on the testing of goodwill for impairment allows entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative assessment to determine the likelihood of goodwill impairment and whether it is necessary to perform such two-step impairment test.

 

The initial carrying value of goodwill associated with the Belami acquisition may vary during the first year of initial purchase (through April 2024) if the carrying value of the assets acquired or assumed liabilities or the fair value of the shares issuable in April 2024 varies from the initial allocation of asset performed this quarter.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company currently generates revenues substantially from home lighting and ceiling fans through its family of internet sites and marketplaces. A substantial portion of the Company’s customers’ orders are made and paid contemporaneously by credit card and shipped through third-party delivery providers. The Company recognizes revenues once it concludes that the control of the product is transferred to the customer, which is upon delivery.

 

The Company records reductions to revenue for estimated customer sales returns and replacements, net of sales tax. The Company receives rebate and cooperative allowances based on a percentage of periodic purchases from certain vendors. These vendor considerations are reflected as a reduction of costs of revenues. The vendor considerations, the rights of returns and replacements are based upon estimates that are determined by historical experience, contractual terms, and current market conditions. The primary factors affecting the Company’s accrual for estimated customer rights of returns include estimated customer return rates as well as the number of units shipped that have a right of return that have not expired as of the measurement date.

 

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

 

The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding convertible debt, option, and warrant contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been antidilutive for the period. Therefore, a separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the periods presented.

 

The Company had the following anti-dilutive common stock equivalents at June 30, 2023 and 2022:

 SCHEDULE OF EARNING (LOSS) PER SHARE

		June 30, 2023				June 30, 2022
Stock warrants			2,063,522				939,895
Stock options			34,233,900				33,124,982
Convertible notes			3,536,668				86,668
Preferred stock			-				1,880,400
Total			39,834,090				36,031,945

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Change in Accounting Principles

 

Historically, the Company recognized its revenues of products shipped by third-party providers upon shipment. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company believes that it is preferable to recognize the revenues of products shipped by such third-party providers upon delivery. This revenue recognition method is consistent with the method used by Belami. The change in accounting principle does not significantly impact on the revenues historically recorded by the Company.

One RSU and RSA gives the right to one share of the Company’s common stock. RSU and RSAs that vest based on service and performance are measured based on the fair values of the underlying stock on the date of grant. The Company used a Lattice model to determine the fair value of the RSU with a market condition. Compensation with respect to RSU and RSA awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Assumptions- Fair Value of Warrants and Options

 

The Company issued options in connection for services during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022. The Company issued warrants in connection with certain convertible promissory notes during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, which are considered inducements to enter in debt transactions and are recognized as debt discount at fair value. The following table summarizes the range of the Black Scholes pricing model assumptions used by the Company to value certain warrants issued during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and options granted during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

 

SCHEDULE OF OPTIONS GRANTED UNDER BLACK SCHOLES PRICING MODEL ASSUMPTIONS

		June 30, 2023				June 30, 2022
		Range				Range
Stock price		$	3.74-3.84			$	2.0-14.0
Exercise price		$	3.74-3.84			$	2.0-14.0
Expected life (in years)			3.5-5 yrs.				5 yrs.
Volatility			48-54	%			40-54	%
Risk-fee interest rate			3.51-5.02	%			1.37-1.96	%
Dividend yield			—				—

 

The Company cannot use its historical volatility as expected volatility because there is not enough liquidity in the trades of common stock during a term comparable to the expected term of stock option issued. The Company relies on the expected volatility of comparable publicly traded companies within its industry sector, which is deemed more relevant, to compute its expected volatility.

 

Unamortized future option expense was $39.1 million at June 30, 2023 and it is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.6 years.

 

Share-based payments amounted to $10,638,534 and $11,194,200 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

 

NOTE 11 CONCENTRATIONS OF RISKS

 

Major Customers

 

The Company had no customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue. The Company had one third-party payor accounts receivable balance representing 24% of the Company’s total accounts receivable at June 30, 2023.

 

 

Liquidity

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held primarily with two financial institutions. The Company has deposits which exceed the amount insured by the FDIC. To reduce the risk associated with the failure of such counterparties, the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits.

 

Product and Geographic Markets

 

The Company generates its income primarily from its lighting and heating products sold primarily in the United States.

These pro forma amounts have been calculated after applying the Company’s accounting policies and adjusting the results to reflect, among other things, 1) additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to amortizable intangible assets had been applied, 2) the shares issued and issuable by the Company to acquire Belami, 3) fair value of the initial grant and options to Belami employees, and 4) the increase in interest expense related to the issuance of convertible notes payable, including amortization of debt discount. Furthermore, it excludes transaction costs related to the Belami acquisition. These pro forma results of operations have been prepared for comparative purposes only, and they do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that would have resulted had the acquisition occurred on the date indicated or that may result in the future.

 

NOTE 13 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through August 9, 2023, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events that required adjustment to or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, such as statements regarding our plans, objectives, strategy, expectations, outlook, intentions, and projections. Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Please also see the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” contained in this Form 10-Q.

 

Overview

 

We have a series of advanced-safe-smart platform technologies. Our first-generation technologies enable light fixtures, ceiling fans and other electrically wired products to be installed safely and plugged in to a ceiling’s electrical outlet box within seconds, and without the need to touch hazardous wires. The plug and play technology method is a universal power-plug device that has a matching receptacle that is simply connected to the electrical outlet box on the ceiling, enabling a safe and quick plug and play installation of light fixtures and ceiling fans in just seconds. The plug and play power-plug technology eliminates the need of touching hazardous electrical wires while installing light fixtures, ceiling fans and other hard wired electrical products. In recent years, we have expanded the capabilities of our power-plug product to include advanced-safe and quick universal installation methods, as well as advanced-smart capabilities. The smart features include control of light fixtures and ceiling fans by the SkyHome App, through WIFI, BLE and voice control. It allows scheduling, energy savings eco mode, dimming, back-up emergency light, night light, light color changing and much more. Our second-generation technology is an all-in-one safe and smart-advanced platform that is designed to enhance all-around safety and lifestyle of homes and other buildings. Our products are designed to improve all around home and building safety and lifestyle. We are continuing to refine our products and began manufacturing certain advanced and smart products during the first half of 2023. We expect to manufacture the additional product offerings in the second half of 2023. We hold over 60 U.S. and global patents and patent applications and have received a variety of final electrical code approvals, including UL, United Laboratories of Canada (cUL) and Conformité Européenne (CE), and 2017 and 2020 inclusion in the NEC Code Book.

 

We believe our total addressable market in the United States exceeds $500 billion, based on the Company’s internal calculations derived from the estimation of the total target user pool, projected average selling price, and projected units per household. We believe there are billions of installations of light and other electrical fixtures globally. Our estimates of the addressable market for our products may prove to be incorrect. The projected demand for our products could differ materially from actual demand. Even if the total addressable market for our products is as large as we have estimated and even if we are able to gain market awareness and acceptance, we may not be able to penetrate the existing market to capture additional market share.

 

Inflation and related risk of recession increased during 2022 and have continued to impact operations during 2023. Inflationary factors, such as increases in interest rates, supply and overhead costs and transportation costs, may adversely affect our operating results, and we may not be able to offset increased costs with increased sales price per unit, particularly as we work toward commercial manufacturing of our products. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, we may experience some effect in the near future (especially if inflation rates continue to rise). In addition, we may be negatively impacted because of supply chain constraints, consequences associated with government regulations, ongoing and potential geopolitical conflicts, instability in the global banking system, employee availability and wage increases.

 

During April 2023, we completed the previously announced acquisition of all the issued and outstanding shares of Belami, a strategic e-commerce lighting and home décor conglomerate. The Company paid cash and issued an aggregate of 1,923,285 shares of common stock as consideration for the acquisition. The Company expects that Belami will serve as a marketing and growth platform and should provide several distribution channels, including to retail customers, builders, and professionals.

 

 

In connection with the acquisition, the Company engaged in private placements of its securities during the first quarter of 2023, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold (i) subordinated secured convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10.35 million and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,391,667 shares of the Company’s common stock. The proceeds were used to fund the cash component of the Belami acquisition and to pay certain transaction expenses in connection with the acquisition and the private placements.

 

In addition, in March 2023, the Company acquired 50% of the equity of a strategic e-commerce private label lighting website, for $225,000, and acquired the other 50% of the equity, which is owned by Belami, as part of the Belami acquisition. Following completion of the Belami acquisition, the Company transferred the equity it previously acquired to Belami, and Belami now holds 100% of the outstanding equity of such entity. The Company expects that this acquisition will serve as another marketing and growth platform for the Company and should provide additional distribution to both professional and retail channels for the Company’s products.

 

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company repaid in full approximately $5.2 million in principal and interest due under the Company’s five-year secured promissory note, dated December 14, 2021, previously issued to Nielsen & Bainbridge, LLC, by issuing 574,713 shares of the Company’s common stock and paying $2 million. The Company also entered a $2,0 million secured revolving line of credit with First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company, which matures May 1, 2024.

 

During the second quarter of 2023, we began our at the market offering (“ATM”) pursuant to which we may sell up to $20 million of shares of our common stock.

NM: Not meaningful

 

 

Revenue

 

The increase in revenues during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the prior year periods, is primarily due to revenues from products marketed by Belami which was acquired on April 28, 2023.

 

We believe that revenues will be higher in 2023 than in 2022, since we launched the marketing of our advanced and smart products in late 2022. We also expect our revenues to increase following the closing of the Belami acquisition.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

The cost of revenues consists primarily of costs associated with selling the products marketed by Belami. The increase in cost of revenues during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the prior year periods, is primarily due to costs associated with revenues from products marketed by Belami which was acquired on April 28, 2023.

 

We believe that cost of revenues will increase in 2023 compared to 2022, commensurate with an anticipated increase in revenues.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of an allocation of product development, sales and marketing, finance, legal, human resources, including salaries, wages, and benefits, and depreciation and amortization, including share-based payments.

 

The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the following:

 

	●	Increase of share-based payments of $5.2 million. The increase is primarily related to grants of share-based payments to new employees following the Acquisition of Belami in May 2023;
	●	Increase in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses following the acquisition of Belami aggregating $2.8 million and $2.2 million, respectively;
	●	Increase of depreciation and amortization expenses of $500,000 primarily related to increase in intangibles and right-of-use assets acquired after June 30, 2022.
		The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense during the six-months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to the absorption of the operating expenses of Belami amounting to $5 million, increased depreciation of amortization expense of $1 million, transaction costs associated with the Belami acquisition of $520,000 which were not incurred during the comparable prior year period.

 

We believe that our selling, general, and administrative expenses will be higher during 2023 when compared to 2022 as we continue to invest to support our anticipated growth and now includes such expenses related to Belami’s operations following its acquisition.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

The increase in interest expense in the three and six-month period ended June 30, 2023 when compared to the prior year period resulted primarily from interest charges related to operating lease liabilities debt which were entered into the latter part of 2022 and convertible debt (including amortization of debt discount, which were entered into the first quarter of 2023. The debt discount is related to inducements the Company granted to holders of convertible debt.

 

The variations in gain on extinguishment debt is due to two separate transactions: the forgiveness of the PPP loan recognized in the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 and a gain on forgiveness of debt in April 2023 as the debt forgiven to a lender exceeded the consideration we paid.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have raised additional funds through the sale of our common stock and securities convertible into our common stock and issuance of debt, including completing our initial public offering in February 2022 for gross proceeds of $23.1 million and placements and offerings during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023 in a combination of convertible notes payable and shares of our common stock aggregating $18 million.

 

These offerings included shares sold pursuant to our ATM offering program which provides us with additional access to capital, as needed, subject to market conditions. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, and from inception, we issued 2,984,208 shares of common stock under such program for net proceeds of $7.4 million, net of brokerage fees and legal expenses of approximately $380,000. As of August 9, 2023, we had the remaining capacity to issue shares of common stock up to $12.0 million under the offering program.

 

We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash will be sufficient to support our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the Belami acquisition and integration of operations, our revenue growth rate, expenditures related to our headcount growth and manufacturing, the timing and the amount of cash received from customers, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the price at which we are able to purchase parts to incorporate in our product offerings, the introduction of platform enhancements, and the market adoption of our platforms. We may continue to enter into arrangements to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products, and technologies. We may, because of those arrangements, or the general expansion of our business, be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. If we require additional financing, we may not be able to raise such financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in continued innovation, we may not be able to compete successfully, which would harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

During April and May 2023, the Company repaid in full approximately $6.2 million due to a lender by issuing 574,713 shares of the Company’s common stock and paying $2.0 million in cash. The Company also obtained $2.0 million secured revolving line of credit with First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company. The line of credit bears interest at a variable rate equal to The Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 0.250%, subject to a floor of 5.0% and ceiling of the lesser of 18.0% or the maximum rate allowed under applicable law, payable monthly, and matures May 1, 2024.

 

Six-months period ended June 30, 2023:

 

We had $23.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of June 30, 2023. Our working capital amounts to $1.9 million as of June 30, 2023, adjusted for consideration payable in shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $5.6 million.

 

We used $ 6.6 million in our operating activities which consists of a net loss of $21.2 million adjusted for the following:

 

	●	Stock-based compensation of $10.7 million.
	●	Depreciation and amortization of $1.0 million;

 

	●	Offset by a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1.2 million;
	●	Additionally, accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $2.7 million.

 

We generated cash from investing activities of $3.2 million which primarily consisted of proceeds from disposition of investments in debt securities of $7.6 million offset by the cash acquisition price of Belami, net of cash acquired of $4.2 million.

 

We generated cash from financing activities of $17.6 million which were primarily related to proceeds we generated from the issuance of convertible promissory notes and shares of common stock, and to a lesser extent, proceeds from a line of credit of $2.0 million, offset by principal repayments of notes payable of $2.1 million.

 

Six-months period ended June 30, 2022:

 

We had $24.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as of June 30, 2022.

 

We used $6.2 million in our operating activities which consists of a net loss of $17.0 million adjusted for the following:

 

●

Stock-based compensation of $11 million.

 

We generated cash from financing activities of $21.0 million which were primarily related to proceeds generated from the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to our initial public offering.

 

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Management considers earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, as adjusted, an important indicator in evaluating our business on a consistent basis across various periods. Due to the significance of non-recurring items, EBITDA, as adjusted, enables our management to monitor and evaluate our business on a consistent basis. We use EBITDA, as adjusted, as a primary measure, among others, to analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and potential acquisitions. We believe that EBITDA, as adjusted, eliminates items that are not part of our core operations, such as interest expense and amortization expense associated with intangible assets, or items that do not involve a cash outlay, such as share-based payments and non-recurring items, such as transaction costs. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows used in operating activities. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements and is subject to inherent limitations. Investors should review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measure included below. Investors should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The following is a summary of those accounting policies that involve significant estimates and judgment of management.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.

 

Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable and inventory, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of fair value of warrants issued and recorded as debt discount, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments require disclosure of the fair value information, whether recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we believe the amounts reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, accrued interest, notes payable and convertible note payable approximate fair value because of their short maturities.

 

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

 

 

	●	Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
	●	Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
	●	Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation–Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, non-employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

 

Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award granted using the Black- Scholes option pricing model based on projections of various potential future outcomes and recognized over the period in which the award vests. For stock awards no longer expected to vest, any previously recognized stock compensation expense is reversed in the period of termination. The stock-based compensation expense is included in general and administrative expenses.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We account for revenues in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606).

 

Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

 

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

	●	identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
	●	identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
	●	determination of the transaction price;
	●	allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
	●	recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Although there are new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that is designed 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures and any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting:

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except for the following:

 

We adopted the policies and procedures of Belami as they relate to internal controls over financial reporting upon acquisition and supplemented them with certain key internal controls.

 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

There are no legal proceedings or arbitration proceedings currently pending against our Company. From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, we are not a party to any material legal matters or claims. In the future, we may become party to legal matters and claims in the ordinary course of business, the resolution of which we do not anticipate would have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, legal proceedings are inherently uncertain. As a result, the outcome of a particular matter or a combination of matters may be material to our results of operations for a particular period, depending upon the size of the loss or our income for that period.

 

We assess our liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where it is probable that we will incur a loss and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements. These legal accruals may be increased or decreased to reflect any relevant developments on a quarterly basis. Where a loss is not probable or the amount of the loss is not estimable, we do not record an accrual, consistent with applicable accounting guidance.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, other than as noted below. Our business, operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and the trading price of our common stock. You should carefully read and consider the risks and uncertainties included in the report referenced above, together with all of the other information in such report and this Form 10-Q, including the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes, and other documents that we file with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties described in these reports may not be the only ones we face, and the disclosure of any risk factor should not be interpreted to imply that the risk has not already materialized. The factors discussed in these reports, among others, could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results and those expressed in forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf in filings with the SEC, press releases, communications with investors, and oral statements.

 

Risks Related to Acquisition of Belami

 

Global economic conditions and the effect of economic pressures and other business factors on discretionary consumer spending and consumer preferences may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Uncertainties in global economic conditions that are beyond our control could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price. These adverse economic conditions include inflation, slower growth or recession, new or increased tariffs and other changes to fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates, high unemployment, decreased consumer confidence in the economy, armed hostilities, such as the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, conditions affecting the retail environment for products we sell, and other matters that influence consumer spending and preferences. In addition, consumer confidence and spending can be materially adversely affected in response to financial market volatility, negative financial news, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, including home equity loans and consumer credit, changes in net worth based on market changes and uncertainty, energy shortages and cost increases, labor and healthcare costs, government actions and general uncertainty regarding the overall future economic environment.

 

 

Consumers may view a substantial portion of the products we offer as discretionary items rather than necessities. As a result, our operating results are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions that impact consumer spending, including discretionary spending. Declines in consumer spending have resulted in, and could in the future result in, decreased demand for our products and services, which has adversely affected our results of our operations and may do so in the future.

 

Our marketing efforts to help grow our business may not be effective, and failure to effectively develop and expand our sales and marketing capabilities could harm our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our e-commerce channel.

 

If the online market for home goods does not continue to gain acceptance, a sizable portion of our business may suffer. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract consumers who have historically purchased home goods through traditional retailers. Furthermore, we may have to incur significantly higher and more sustained advertising and promotional expenditures to attract additional online consumers to our sites and convert them into purchasing customers online. Specific factors that could impact consumers’ willingness to purchase home goods from us online, especially in markets where we do not have physical stores, include concerns about buying products without a physical storefront, face-to-face interaction with sales personnel and the inability to physically handle, examine and compare products; delivery time associated with online orders; actual or perceived lack of security of online transactions and concerns regarding the privacy or protection of personal information; delayed shipments or shipments of incorrect or damaged products; inconvenience associated with returning or exchanging items purchased online; usability, functionality and features of our sites; and our reputation and brand strength. In addition, if we do not have a clear and relevant promotional calendar to engage our customers, especially in the current macroeconomic environment, our customers may purchase fewer goods from us, or we may have to increase our promotional activities. If the shopping experience we provide does not appeal to consumers or meet the expectations of existing customers, we may not acquire new customers at sustainable rates, acquired customers may not become repeat customers and existing customers’ buying patterns and levels may decrease. In addition, we may experience surges in online traffic and orders associated with promotional activities and seasonal trends, which could cause fluctuations in our results of operations from quarter to quarter.

We received approximately $20.5 million in net proceeds after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $1.8 million and offering expenses of approximately $700,000.
