Our interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted, in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) associated with reporting of interim period financial information. We consistently applied the accounting policies described in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2019 Form 10-K") in preparing these unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, these interim consolidated financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The consolidated balance sheet as of February 1, 2020 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The unaudited results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of future results or results to be expected for the full year ending January 30, 2021 (“Fiscal Year 2020”). You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 1, 2020.

Certain prior year amounts have been restated to reflect the reverse stock split on November 9, 2020 including common stock par value and additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and, shares and per share amounts on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The prior year’s impairment of long-lived assets has been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” the Company’s management evaluated whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of issuance of these financial statements. Although the following matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements have been issued, the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern.

In December 2019, COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) emerged and has subsequently spread worldwide. The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020 resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining of people who may have been exposed to the virus. After close monitoring and taking into consideration the guidance from federal, state and local governments, in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, effective March 18, 2020, the Company closed all of its stores and its offices with employees working remotely where possible. The Company began reopening its stores in May 2020, with all stores having been reopened by late June 2020; however, operations of the stores may again be restricted by local guidelines.

As a result of COVID-19, the Company’s revenues, results of operations and cash flows were materially adversely impacted, which resulted in a failure by us to comply with the financial covenants contained in our Asset Based Revolving Credit Agreement (“ABL Facility”) and Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan”). Additionally, the inclusion of substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 resulted in a violation of affirmative covenants under our ABL Facility and Term Loan. During 2020, the Company entered into forbearance agreements (the “Forbearance Agreements”) with the lenders under its ABL Facility and Term Loan. Under the Forbearance Agreements, the respective lenders agreed not to exercise any rights and remedies through the period of time that allowed the Company to enter into a Transaction Support Agreement (“TSA”) on August 31, 2020 with lenders holding greater than 70% of the Company’s term loans (“Consenting Lenders”) and a majority of our shareholders on the principal terms of a financial restructuring (“Transaction”). The Transaction was consented to by the requisite term loan lenders and was consummated on an out-of-court basis on September 30, 2020. The Transaction resulted in a waiver of any past non-compliance with the terms of the Company’s credit facilities, provided the Company with additional liquidity and extended the maturity of certain participating debt by two years, through May 2024. Refer to Note 7, Debt for a further discussion of the Company’s debt restructuring.

The Company could experience other potential impacts as a result of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, additional charges from potential adjustments to the carrying amount of its inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, right-of-use assets and long-lived assets as well as additional store closures. Actual results may differ materially from the Company’s current estimates as considerable risk remains related to the performance of stores, the resilience of the customer in an uncertain economic climate, and the possibility of a resurgence of COVID-19 with its potential for future business disruption and the related impacts on the U.S. economy in the coming 12 months. If one or more of these risks materialize, we believe that our current liquidity and capital may not be sufficient to finance our continued operations for at least the next 12 months. These risks raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements have been issued.

In response to COVID-19, we have taken and continue to take aggressive and prudent actions to reduce expenses and manage working capital to preserve cash on-hand. These actions include, but are not limited to:

•

reduced staffing and operating hours at retail locations for a phase-in period since reopening;

•

base salary reductions for our senior leadership team for a period of time, and suspension of pay raises for corporate employees;

•

extension of payment terms for all accounts payable, including merchandising vendors, other than those necessary to support our ecommerce business;

•

negotiated with certain landlords for rent abatements and/or rent deferrals;

•

withheld rent for certain retail locations related to the period of time they were closed, while continuing to negotiate with landlords for amended lease terms;

•

eliminated approximately half of our catalogs and are considering implementing this as a permanent change; and

•

significantly reduced planned capital expenditures.

Additionally, we have filed an income tax refund for $6.9 million, of which we have received $5.9 million, with the IRS and multiple state jurisdictions related to the provision under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) enacted in March 2020 that provides numerous tax provisions and other stimulus measures, including temporary suspension of certain payment requirements for the employer-paid portion of social security taxes, the creation of certain refundable employee retention credits, and technical corrections from prior tax legislation for tax depreciation of certain qualified improvement property. The Company has elected to defer the employer-paid portion of social security taxes beginning with pay dates on and after April 1, 2020. A portion of the deferral is payable in 2021 with the remainder due in 2022. We continue to evaluate the provisions of the CARES Act and the ways in which it could assist our business and improve our liquidity.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18 – Collaborative Arrangements (“Topic 808”), which clarifies the interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The provisions of ASU 2018-18 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2018-18 had no impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 – Income Tax Accounting (“Topic 740”), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The provisions of ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will be required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2021. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
