On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, it is extremely challenging for the Company to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020. March year-to-date syndicated market data for the United States shows a number of manufacturers’ sell-thru at retail substantially up, and others down, vs. prior year. How long these trends continue, and whether they represent a pulling forward of future sales or a deferment of intended sales remains to be seen.

Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, it is likely the pandemic will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s sales expectations for fiscal year 2020. The Company has embarked upon cost mitigating efforts, but even if those efforts achieve 100% of their intended results, it is not clear as of the date of this filing whether the Company will be compliant with its debt covenants. Management remains confident that it has the support of its lenders and it will be able to find some reasonable accommodation with its lenders in the event that covenants cannot be met in light of the COVID-19 impact.

In mid-March, the Company began migrating to a work-from-home model in compliance with local guidance. In early April, the Company began to reassess its revenue and expense projections for the year in an attempt to anticipate decreases in customer and consumer demand based on the uncertainty associated with the pandemic. In parallel, the Company began a review of worldwide spending to identify both short-term and long-term cost savings measures to preserve both profitability and liquidity in light of the potential for decreased product demands. By late April, the Company had identified new revenue and spending objectives for the year and synchronized those expectations across the senior leadership team. It is the Company’s intention to carefully monitor the pandemic’s impact across markets, channels and customers and strike the right balance of pursuing opportunity while minimizing risk to the Company’s long-term health.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company continues to monitor and explore any relevant government assistance programs that could support either cash liquidity or operating results in the short-medium term. As of the filing of this document, the Company continues to have no draw down on its credit facility with Wells Fargo.

The Company has applied for funds under the Paycheck Protection Program after the period end in the amount of $10.0 million. The application for these funds requires the Company to, in good faith, certify that the current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. This certification further requires the Company to take into account its current business activity and its ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its future adherence to the forgiveness criteria.

In connection with the Company’s continued efforts to restore profitability, on April 17, 2020, the Company commenced a planned 26% (unaudited) reduction in its workforce. The Company expects to incur severance and restructuring charges of approximately $1.7 million (unaudited), consisting solely of cash expenditures for employee termination and severance costs, starting in the second quarter of 2020 through the end of 2020.
