Impact of the COVID-19 Coronavirus

 

The Company’s operations have been affected by the recent and ongoing outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it has resulted in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Areas affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, including a significant disruption in consumer demand and accessories, labor workforce, inability of customers to pay outstanding accounts receivable due and owing to the Company as they limit or shut down their businesses, customers seeking relief or extended payment plans relating to accounts receivable due and owing to the Company, unavailability of products and supplies used in operations, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company, including property and equipment. As such, the comparability of the Company’s operating results has been affected by significant adverse impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The Company has increased its online presence to minimize the impact of having to close its retail stores as well as directing efforts towards its wholesale operations. The Company increase its online presence through its majority-owned subsidiaries, Aphrodite’s Marketing and GearBubble Tech.

 

Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 810-10-65, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS No. 160”). This ASC clarifies that a non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. It also requires consolidated net income to include the amounts attributable to both the parent and non-controlling interest, with disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the amounts attributed to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. In accordance with ASC 810-10- 45-21, those losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries may exceed their interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess and any further losses attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest shall be attributed to those interests even if that attribution results in a deficit non-controlling interest balance.

Additionally, on July 1, 2021, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with GearBubble which resulted to the acquisition of 51% interest in the Merger Sub, GearBubble Tech.
