USE OF ESTIMATES

The Singing Machine makes estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, inventory reserves and reserves for promotional incentives that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.

Foreign Currency Translation

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The functional currency of the Macau Subsidiary is the Hong Kong dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and translations

are recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.

Inventory

INVENTORY

Inventories are comprised primarily of electronic karaoke equipment, microphones and accessories, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the first in, first out method. Inventories also include an estimate for the net realizable value of expected future inventory returns due to warranty and allowance programs. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the estimated amounts for

these future inventory returns were approximately $1,114,000 and $1,367,000, respectively. The Company reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for such declines in value. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the Company had inventory reserves of approximately $905,000 and $434,000, respectively for estimated excess and obsolete inventory.

Long-Lived Assets

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the related assets are less than the carrying amount, the carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

Property and Equipment

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods.

Revenue Recognition and Reserve for Sales Returns

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RESERVE FOR SALES RETURNS

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and control of the goods sold is transferred to the customer, in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised goods or services that are distinct), (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the product or service for each performance obligation.

The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation (the sale of the Company’s products). The Company’s contracts have no financing elements, payment terms are less than 120 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of these goods.

The Company selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion initiatives to maximize sales of the Company’s products on the retail floor or to assist in developing consumer awareness of new product launches, by providing marketing fund allowances to our customers. As these co-op promotion initiatives are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit it receives from these arrangements, the cost of these allowances at the time they are offered to the customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 co-op promotion allowances were approximately $902,000 and $1,027,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 co-op promotion allowances were approximately $1,174,000 and $1,196,000, respectively.

Costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers include administrative costs associated with the procurement of goods are included in general and administrative expenses, in-bound freight costs are included in the cost of goods sold and accrued sales representative commissions are included in selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as our underlying customer agreements are less than one year.

The Company disaggregates revenues by product line and major geographic region as most of its revenue is generated by the sales of karaoke hardware and the Company has no other material business segments (See Note 9 – GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION).

While the Company generally does not allow products to be returned, the Company does provide for variable consideration contingent upon the occurrence of uncertain future events. Variable consideration is estimated at the expected value or at the most likely amount depending on the type of consideration. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company estimates variable consideration under our return allowance programs for goods returned to the customer for various reasons, whereby a sales return reserve is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management estimates.

The Company’s reserve for sales returns were approximately $1,723,000 and $1,224,000 as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.

Revenue is derived from four different major product lines. Disaggregated revenue from these product lines for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
Product Line	September 30, 2020		September 30, 2019		September 30, 2020		September 30, 2019

Stock-Based Compensation

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 718-20, “Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity”. ASC 718-20 requires all share-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. Employee stock option compensation expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the stock option expense was approximately $0 and $5,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the stock option expense was $0 and $10,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

INCOME TAXES

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the Company recognized a valuation reserve of approximately $88,000 for deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforwards that the Company will more than likely not be able to realize prior to their expiration.

The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each interim period and, based on management’s best estimate of its full year effective tax rate, recognizes cumulative adjustments to its deferred tax assets and liabilities. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 we estimated our effective tax rate to be approximately 25% and 18%, respectively. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 the Singing Machine had net deferred tax assets of approximately $677,000 and $1,286,000, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $821,000 and $184,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $742,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and an income tax benefit of approximately $55,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. As of September 30, 2020, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). Among several issues addressed in this ASU, there was one area that may potentially affect the Company’s calculations of interim income tax provision or benefit. The guidance specifies that an entity should apply the annual effective tax rate to the year-to date income or loss as long as the tax benefits for any losses are expected to be realized during the year or would be recognizable as a deferred tax asset at the end of the year eliminating the requirement of a valuation allowance for that interim period. There is specific guidance for circumstances in which an entity incurs a loss on a year-to-date basis that exceeds the anticipated ordinary loss for the year, which is an exception to the general guidance in Subtopic 740-270. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We are currently evaluating the potential effects of this updated guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the current accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable. The amendments in ASU 2016-03 for smaller reporting companies are effective for fiscal years beginning after April 1, 2023 including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effects of this updated guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
