1.ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Mohawk Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Mohawk” or the “Company”) is a rapidly growing technology-enabled consumer products company that uses machine learning, natural language processing, and data analytics to design, develop, market and sell products. Mohawk predominately operates through online retail channels such as Amazon and Walmart.

Headquartered in New York, Mohawk’s other offices can be found in China, Philippines, Israel, and Poland.

Merger—On September 4, 2018, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization among the Company, MGH Merger Sub, Inc. and Mohawk Group, Inc. (“MGI”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of April 1, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), MGI merged with Merger Sub, Inc., with MGI remaining as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Merger was a reverse recapitalization for financial reporting purposes. The Merger is reflected in the financial statements and financial disclosures as if the Merger was effective on January 1, 2017. Operations prior to the Merger are the historical operations of MGI.

Under the Merger Agreement, all outstanding shares of common stock, shares of preferred stock and warrants, excluding MGI’s Series C preferred stock (“Series C”) and warrants to purchase shares of Series C, converted to shares of common stock of the Company at a ratio of 1 to 0.3131 (the “Conversion”). All outstanding Series C converted on a 1 to 0.2564 basis to shares of common stock of the Company and all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Series C converted to warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company on a 1 to 0.2564 basis. At the time of the merger, the Company had 0.9 million shares outstanding held by certain Series C holders.

Initial Public Offering—On June 14, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”), selling 3,600,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $10.00 per share. Net proceeds to the Company from the offering were approximately $29.4 million, after deducting legal, underwriting and other offering expenses.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern— The Company is an early-stage growth company. Accordingly, the Company endeavors to continuously invest in the launch of new products, the development of its software, and the expansion of its sales and distribution infrastructure in order to accelerate revenue growth and scale operations to support such growth. To fund these investments, the Company has historically obtained financing and raised capital since its inception with the expectation that the Company will generate profits in the future. The Company intends to continue to its strategy of investing in growth by launching new products, developing its software and expanding its sales and distribution operations for the foreseeable future.

 

As a result of its historical investments, the Company has incurred operating losses since its inception, which includes an operating loss of $54.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 and had an accumulated deficit of $129.8 million, cash on hand of $30.4 million, and total outstanding borrowing from lenders of $35.1 million with no available capacity as of December 31, 2019. The Company has raised $102.0 million in equity financing to fund its operations since inception, including the net proceeds from the IPO, through December 31, 2019.

In addition, while the Company anticipates it will remain in compliance with the covenants prescribed by its existing financing arrangements (See Note 9 – Credit Facility and Term Loans), there can be no assurance that the Company’s operating forecast and cash flows for the twelve months following the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements will be attained such that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants or generate sufficient liquidity to fund its ongoing operations.  These negative financial conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2019. 

 

Management plans to continue to closely monitor its operating forecast and cash flows, and may pursue additional sources of financing and/or capital to fund its operations.  If the Company is unable to improve its operating results, increase its operating cash inflows, and/or obtain additional sources of financing and capital on acceptable terms (if at all), the Company may have to make significant changes to its operating plan, such as delay expenditures, reduce investments in new products, delay the development of its software, reduce its sale and distribution infrastructure, or otherwise significantly reduce the scope of its business.   The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  See Note 17 – Subsequent Events.
