NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its Macau Subsidiary, SMH, SMCL, and SMCM. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented. The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
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.
COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The
Singing Machine’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers,
current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be in an amount sufficient
to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets
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 statements of income and translations would be recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At
times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured
amounts. The Company also maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts at foreign financial institutions at
September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 are approximately $
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of accounts receivable.

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, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the estimated amounts for
these future inventory returns were approximately $
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.” No
impairment was recorded as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.
LEASES
The Company follows FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. The ASC requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. (See Note 8– LEASES).
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the financing interest rate for its finance leases.
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.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We follow FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, and refunds due to customers approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on the notes payable, finance leases and installment notes approximate fair value either due to the relatively short period to maturity or the related interest is accrued at a rate similar to market rates. The carrying amounts on the revolving line of credit approximates fair value due the relatively short period to maturity and related interest accrued at market rates.
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 selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion incentives 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, 2022 and 2021 co-op promotion incentives were approximately
$
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.
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 income as our underlying customer agreements are less than one year.
While the Company has no overstock return privileges in its vendor agreements with its customers, 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 from 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 as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, were approximately $
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 13 – SEGMENT INFORMATION).
Revenue is derived from five different major product lines. Disaggregated revenue from these product lines for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following:

expenses were approximately $
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 income 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, 2022 and 2021 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, 2022 and 2021, the stock option expense was approximately

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 both September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately
$
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, 2022 and 2021 we estimated our effective U.S federal tax rate to be approximately
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

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 options and warrants to purchase were excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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 the Company beginning 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.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected U.S. consumer shopping patterns and caused the health of the U.S. and world economy to deteriorate in fiscal year 2022. While many of the restrictions and measures initially implemented in response to the pandemic have since been softened or lifted in varying degrees in different locations around the world, the uncertainty regarding existing and new potential variants of COVID-19 and the success of any vaccines in respect thereof, may in the future cause a reduction in global economic activity or prompt, the re-imposition of certain restrictions and measures. The Company is dependent upon foreign companies for the manufacture of all its electronic products. The Company’s arrangements with manufacturers are subject to the risk of doing business abroad, such as import duties, trade restrictions, work stoppages, foreign currency fluctuations, political instability, and other factors, which could have an adverse impact on its business. The Company believes that the loss of any one or more of their suppliers would not have a long-term material adverse effect because other manufacturers with whom the Company does business would be able to increase production to fulfill their requirements. However, the loss of certain suppliers in the short-term could adversely affect business until alternative supply arrangements are secured. Additionally, in late calendar 2021, the increased demand for consumer electronics products and current economic recovery continued to increase worldwide demand for products using semiconductor “chip” components in the production of most consumer electronics which has resulted in an international shortage of chips available to fulfill demand. As a result, the Company has experienced longer delivery lead times and some unavailability of these components which have delayed delivery of some of our products. The Company has also experienced delays in delivery schedules due to new outbreaks of COVID-19 in Southern China that have forced temporary closures of some key shipping ports. The port closures have also led to a temporary shortage of shipping containers which have resulted in significant price increases due to increased demand. While we have seen the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and the impact on our business, we cannot predict the impact of the resurgence of variants of COVID-19 and other factors affecting local and global economies, specifically China.
LEGAL MATTERS
On September 11, 2020, a complaint was filed against the Company’s SMCL subsidiary and various staffing agencies used by SMCL in the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. The complaint alleges an employee of the Company committed employment practice violations against a former temporary employee not employed by the Company. Management investigated the allegation and has engaged an employment attorney to defend the lawsuit. The case is still in discovery and no trial date has been set. Management does not believe the claims have merit and does not believe the lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.
Other than as disclosed above, we are not a party to, and our property is not the subject of, any material legal proceedings.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The objective of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation is to allow investors to view the Company from management’s perspective, considering items that would have a material impact on future operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. This document contains certain forward-looking statements including, among others, anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations and our business strategy. (See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors “). These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements.
Statements included in this quarterly report that do not relate to present or historical conditions are called “forward-looking statements.” Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Words such as “believes,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “possible,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “plans,” “should,” “could,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict or project future results or the effect of events on our operating results is inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved.
Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) changes in external factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate; and (iv) the effects of adverse general economic conditions, both within the United States and globally, (v) vendor price increases and decreased margins due to competitive pricing during the economic downturn (vi)various competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace and (vii) other factors described in the risk factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, this Quarterly Report on 10-Q, or in our other filings made with the SEC.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “SMC”, “The Singing Machine”), and wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMCL”), SMC-Music, Inc. (“SMCM”) and SMC (HK) Limited (“SMH”), are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories and musical recordings. The products are sold directly to distributors and retail customers.
Our products are sold throughout North America, Europe and Australia primarily through major mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, on-line retailers and to a lesser extent department stores, lifestyle merchants, direct mail catalogs and showrooms, music and record stores, and specialty stores.
Representative customers include Amazon, Best Buy, BJ’s Wholesale, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, and Wal-Mart. Our business has historically been subject to seasonal fluctuations causing our revenues to vary from quarter to quarter and between the same periods in different fiscal years. Our products are manufactured for the most part based on the purchase indications of our customers. We are uncertain of how significantly our business would be harmed by a prolonged economic recession, but we anticipate that continued contraction of consumer spending would negatively affect our revenues and profit margins.
Sales of consumer electronics and toy products in the retail channel are highly seasonal, with a majority of retail sales occurring during the period from September through December in anticipation of the holiday season, which includes Christmas. A substantial majority of our sales occur during the second quarter ending September 30 and the third quarter ending December 31. Sales in our second and third quarter, combined, accounted for approximately 81% and 86% of net sales in fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15,000,000 decreased to $7,500,000 during the period of January 1 through July 31 of each year.

COVID-19 UPDATE
In January 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (“COVID-19”) and the risks to the international community. The WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, 2020 and since that time many of the previously imposed restrictions and other measures which were instituted in response have been subsequently reduced or lifted. However, the COVID-19 pandemic remains highly unpredictable and dynamic and its duration and extent continue to be dependent on various developments, such as the emergence of variants to the virus that may cause additional strains of COVID-19, the administration and ultimate effectiveness of vaccines, and the eventual timeline to achieve a sufficient level of herd immunity among the general population. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to have negative effects on the health of the U.S. economy for the foreseeable future. We continue to experience various degrees of manufacturing cost pressures due to raw material and electronic component shortages as well as inflationary price increases. Although we regularly monitor the financial health and operations of companies in our supply chain, and use alternative suppliers when necessary and available, financial hardship or government restrictions on our suppliers or sub-suppliers caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could cause a disruption in our ability to obtain raw materials or components required to manufacture our products and adversely affect our operations.
During Fiscal 2022, as consumer demand improved and economic activity increased, we experienced supply chain challenges, including increased lead times, port closures in China and delays in Los Angeles, global container shortages, as well as inflation of logistics and labor costs due to availability constraints and high demand. We expect these inflationary trends to continue throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. We may also experience logistical issues with when we receive inventory and the timing of customer demand which could result in potential reductions in profit margins and/or the need for additional inventory reserves. Due to these supply chain challenges, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2022, we experienced late delivery of inventory that missed the holiday season 2021. We note that this trend was widespread throughout the consumer products and retail categories causing a significant stockpile of consumer product inventory throughout retail channels. As a result of this excess inventory stockpile, we might be expected to discount our inventory or help participate in the funding of marking down our customers’ inventory which could result in reductions in profit margins and/or the need for additional inventory reserves.
The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s effect on our operational and financial performance in the future will depend on future developments, including the duration, geographic location and intensity of the pandemic, the impact of virus variants, the rate of vaccinations, our continued ability to manufacture and distribute our products, as well as any future actions that may be taken by governmental authorities or by us relating to the pandemic. For more information regarding factors and events that may impact our business, results of operations and financial condition as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, see “Risk Factors” included in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
| 22 |
HIGH INFLATION, RISING INTEREST RATES, AND UNFAVORABLE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS COULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS AND RESULTS.
Unfavorable global or regional economic conditions may be triggered by numerous developments beyond our control, including inflation, rising interest rates, geopolitical events, health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and other events that trigger economic volatility on a global or regional basis. Those types of unfavorable economic conditions could adversely affect our business and financial results. In particular, a significant deterioration in economic conditions, including economic slowdowns or recessions, increased unemployment levels, inflationary pressures or disruptions to credit and capital markets, could lead to decreased consumer confidence and consumer spending more generally, thus reducing consumer demand for our products. For example, in 2021 and continuing into 2022, the United States has experienced a rapid increase in inflation levels of over 9%, which is now at a 40-year historic high. While we have experienced a significant decrease in container costs for inbound containers due to decreased demand in general, we are continuing to see increases in drayage costs due to cost of fuel increases as well as significant charges from the Port of Los Angeles such as “port congestion fees” and other surcharges due to inflation. The cost of labor, employee benefits, pallets and warehouse supplies and other logistics related costs continue to increase at record rates. Such heightened inflationary levels and higher consumer credit borrowing rates may negatively impact consumer disposable income and discretionary spending and, in turn, reduce consumer demand for our products and increase our costs.

The decrease in income from operations of approximately $165,000 was primarily due to the increase in gross profit offset by the increase in operating expenses as explained above.
OTHER (EXPENSES) INCOME
Other expenses increased by approximately $302,000 to approximately $186,000 in other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to approximately $116,000 in other income, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $88,000 as compared to approximately $78,000 used in investing activities for the same period ended a year ago and consisted primarily of purchases of molds and tooling for new products.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was approximately $4,321,000 compared to cash provided by financing activities of approximately $3,595,000 for the same period ended of the prior year. In May 2022, we received net proceeds of approximately $3,363,000 from the public offering we executed in conjunction with our up-listing to Nasdaq as summarized in the next two paragraphs. In addition, during the six-months ended September 30, 2022, we received proceeds of approximately $1,034,000 from the exercise of pre-funded and common stock warrants. All proceeds were used for working capital.
On May 23, 2022, the “Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp., who acted as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) pursuant to which the Company sold to the Underwriter 1,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) for gross proceeds of $4,000,000 prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses of approximately $637,000. The price to the public in the Offering was $4.00 per Share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering closed on May 26, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3,363,000 which was used for working capital.
On May 24, 2022, the Company’s Common Stock was approved to list on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MICS” and began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 24, 2022.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2021 was approximately $3,595,000. We borrowed approximately $1,977,000 from our Crestmark Facility and IHC Facility for working capital. In August 2021, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,838,000 from the execution of private placement and stock redemption agreements. These financing activities were offset by a payment of $150,000 on the subordinated note payable, payment of deferred finance charges associated with the closing of the Crestmark and IHC Facilities of approximately $38,000 with the remaining difference used to pay scheduled installments on installment notes and finance leases.
We currently have an Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility with Crestmark Bank for a $10.0 million facility (decreasing to $5.0 million in off-peak season) on eligible accounts receivable under an evergreen arrangement that terminates upon written notice by the Company and is subject to a termination fee if terminated by the Company anytime other than the annual renewal date of June 11. We also have a $2.5 million facility on eligible inventory with Iron Horse Credit that was to expire on June 11, 2022. However, absent any termination notice given by the Company to IHC, the current financing arrangement automatically renewed for another twelve-month term and is subject to a termination fee if terminated by the Company prior to the twelve-month renewal date.
On October 14, 2022 the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, as Lender replacing the Company’s credit facilities with Crestmark Bank and Iron Horse Credit that were terminated by the Company on October 13, 2022. The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15,000,000 decreased to $7,500,000 during the period of January 1 through July 31 of each year. The Credit Agreement matures on October 14, 2025.
As of the date of this filing, there are no amounts due on the new Credit Agreement and we have approximately $4,000,000 currently available from this credit facility based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory.
We believe that our cash on hand, working capital (net of cash), cash expected to be generated from our operating forecast, along with the availability of cash from our credit facilities (See Note 7 –FINANCING) will be adequate to meet the Company’s liquidity requirements for at least twelve months from the filing of this report.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make subjective decisions, assessments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the judgement increases such judgements become even more subjective. While management believes that its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may be materially different than estimated. The critical accounting
estimates and assumptions have not materially changed from those identified in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report.

Controlled Company
On June 13, 2022, BitNile Holdings, Inc. (“BitNile Holdings”), a Delaware corporation, Ault Lending, LLC (“Ault Lending”), a California limited liability company and subsidiary of BitNile Holdings, and Milton C. Ault, III (“Ault”), Founder and Executive Chairman of BitNile Holdings (collectively the “Reporting Persons”) filed a joint Schedule 13D filing (the “Schedule 13D”) reporting that the Reporting Persons acquired, in the aggregate, 52.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $ per share (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, through open market purchases.
Pursuant to the Schedule 13D and subsequent amended Schedule 13D filings and Section 16 filings, Ault Lending beneficially owns and BitNile Holdings and Ault may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”), or approximately 57.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of this filing.
As these purchases were made in the open market, control of the Company was not assumed from a particular person or group of persons.
Reverse Stock Split and Nasdaq Listing
On May 23, 2022, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock in a ratio of 1:30. The reverse stock split was effected to meet The Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement. All information in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to this 1-for-30 reverse stock split.
Our common stock was approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MICS” and began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 24, 2022.
Public Offering
On May 23, 2022, the “Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp., who acted as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), in a firm commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to which the Company sold to the Underwriter shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $4,000,000 prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses of approximately $637,000. The price to the public in the offering was $ per share, before underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering closed on May 26, 2022. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $3,363,000.
Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Underwriter warrants to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock representing 10% of the shares sold in the offering, excluding any shares sold through the over-allotment option. The warrants are exercisable six months from the commencement of sales under the offering, have an exercise price of $5.00 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The Company estimated the fair value of these warrants to be approximately $244,000 using the Black-Scholes Model based on the following input assumptions: common stock price of $2.90, expected life of the warrants of 3 years; stock price volatility of 176%; dividend yield of 0%; and the risk-free interest rate of 2.63%.
Stock Redemption Agreement
On August 5, 2021, the Company entered into a stock redemption agreement (the “Redemption Agreement”) with koncepts International Limited (“koncepts”) and Treasure Green Holdings Ltd. (“Treasure Green”) (entities that owned approximately 51% of the Company and are principally owned by the Company’s former Chairman, Philip Lau) pursuant to which the Company redeemed shares of common stock of the Company (the “Redeemed Shares”). The closing of the transaction set forth in the Redemption Agreement took place on August 10, 2021, at which time the Redeemed Shares were assigned and transferred back to the Company in consideration of a payment by the Company of approximately $7,162,000 to koncepts and Treasure Green who no longer have a stake in the Company. The Redeemed Shares were retired and returned to the unissued authorized capital of the Company.

| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its Macau Subsidiary, SMH, SMCL, and SMCM. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for all periods presented. The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
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.
COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Singing Machine’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be in an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other allowances based upon historical collection experience. The Company is subject to chargebacks from customers for co-op program incentives, defective returns, return freight and handling charges that are deducted from open invoices and reduce collectability of open invoices. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.
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 statements of income and translations would be recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company also maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts at foreign financial institutions at September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 are approximately $595,000 and $172,000, respectively.
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of accounts receivable.
THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited)
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, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the estimated amounts for these future inventory returns were approximately $1,112,000 and $683,000, 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, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Company had inventory reserves of approximately $271,000 and $364,000, respectively for estimated excess and obsolete inventory.
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.” No impairment was recorded as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.
LEASES
The Company follows FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. The ASC requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. (See Note 8– LEASES).
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the financing interest rate for its finance leases.
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.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We follow FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, and refunds due to customers approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on the notes payable, finance leases and installment notes approximate fair value either due to the relatively short period to maturity or the related interest is accrued at a rate similar to market rates. The carrying amounts on the revolving line of credit approximates fair value due the relatively short period to maturity and related interest accrued at market rates.
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 SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2022 and 2021 (Unaudited)
The Company selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion incentives 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, 2022 and 2021 co-op promotion incentives were approximately $724,000 and $738,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 co-op promotion incentives were approximately $1,020,000 and $1,010,000, respectively.
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.
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 income as our underlying customer agreements are less than one year.
While the Company has no overstock return privileges in its vendor agreements with its customers, 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 from 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 as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, were approximately $1,691,000 and $990,000 respectively.
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 13 – SEGMENT INFORMATION).
Revenue is derived from five different major product lines. Disaggregated revenue from these product lines for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following:
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods sold to them and are considered activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the goods. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 shipping and handling expenses were approximately $115,000 and $134,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 shipping and handling expenses were approximately $161,000 and $285,000, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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 income over the service period (generally the vesting period). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, these amounts totaled approximately $41,000 and $19,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, these amounts totaled $58,000 and $50,000 respectively.
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 both September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $78,000.
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, 2022 and 2021 we estimated our effective U.S federal tax rate to be approximately 21% and 20%, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Singing Machine had net deferred tax assets of approximately $812,000 and $893,000, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $102,000 and $174,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $97,000 and $146,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
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, 2022, 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.
Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period using the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 options and warrants to purchase were excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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 the Company beginning 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.

Simultaneously with the Company’s entry into the IHC Facility and the Crestmark Facility, the Company entered into an Intercreditor Agreement with IronHorse and Crestmark which sets forth the respective rights of each of IronHorse and Crestmark as secured parties.
Credit and Security Agreement with Fifth Third Bank, National Association:
On October 14, 2022 the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third, as Lender (the “Credit Agreement”) replacing the Company’s credit facilities with Crestmark Bank and Iron Horse Credit that were terminated by the Company on October 13, 2022. The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15,000,000 decreased to $7,500,000 during the period of January 1 through July 31 of each year.

Through September 30, 2022, the Company incurred $70,000 of costs in connection with obtaining this financing, which are currently reflected in other non-current assets and were reclassified to deferred financing costs upon the close of the Credit Agreement. As of date of this filing there was approximately $4,000,000 available borrowings under this Credit Agreement.
Note Payable Payroll Protection Plan
On May 5, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds from Crestmark in the amount of approximately $444,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”). The PPP was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, which provided for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest may be forgivable to the extent the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness may be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eligible period. The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan was payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments until a forgiveness application was accepted and reviewed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), and the SBA provided Crestmark with the loan forgiveness amount. In June 2021 the Company received notification from the SBA that the loan had been forgiven in its entirety and we were notified by Crestmark that the debt was discharged. For the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, a gain of approximately $0 and $448,000 (including principal and interest), respectively from the forgiveness of the loan was included in other income and expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Subordinated Debt/Note Payable to Related Party
In conjunction with the Crestmark Facility and IHC Facility, the parties entered into a subordination agreement on related party debt due to Starlight Marketing Development, Ltd. of approximately $803,000. On June 1, 2020 the remaining amount due on the subordinated debt of approximately $803,000 was converted to a note payable (“subordinated note payable”) which bears interest at 6%. As part of the agreement to convert the subordinated debt to a note payable it was agreed that interest expense would be accrued at the same 6% interest rate on the unpaid principal retroactively from the date that previously scheduled payments had been missed. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 interest expense was approximately $3,000 and $5,000, respectively on the subordinated note payable and the related party subordinated debt. During the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 interest expense was approximately $6,000 and $14,000, respectively on the subordinated note payable and the related party subordinated debt.

Both the Crestmark Facility and IHC Facility agreements allow for the repayment of the subordinated note payable provided any amounts borrowed against these credit facilities are paid in full, the Company maintains a 1 : 1 debt coverage ratio and exhibits sufficient cash liquidity to support on-going operations.
As of both September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the remaining amount due on the note payable was approximately $353,000. The remaining amount due on the subordinated note payable was classified as a current liability as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As part of the new Credit Agreement with Fifth Third that the Company entered into on October 14, 2022, the subordinated note was paid in full on October 26, 2022.

COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected U.S. consumer shopping patterns and caused the health of the U.S. and world economy to deteriorate in fiscal year 2022. While many of the restrictions and measures initially implemented in response to the pandemic have since been softened or lifted in varying degrees in different locations around the world, the uncertainty regarding existing and new potential variants of COVID-19 and the success of any vaccines in respect thereof, may in the future cause a reduction in global economic activity or prompt, the re-imposition of certain restrictions and measures. The Company is dependent upon foreign companies for the manufacture of all its electronic products. The Company’s arrangements with manufacturers are subject to the risk of doing business abroad, such as import duties, trade restrictions, work stoppages, foreign currency fluctuations, political instability, and other factors, which could have an adverse impact on its business. The Company believes that the loss of any one or more of their suppliers would not have a long-term material adverse effect because other manufacturers with whom the Company does business would be able to increase production to fulfill their requirements. However, the loss of certain suppliers in the short-term could adversely affect business until alternative supply arrangements are secured. Additionally, in late calendar 2021, the increased demand for consumer electronics products and current economic recovery continued to increase worldwide demand for products using semiconductor “chip” components in the production of most consumer electronics which has resulted in an international shortage of chips available to fulfill demand. As a result, the Company has experienced longer delivery lead times and some unavailability of these components which have delayed delivery of some of our products. The Company has also experienced delays in delivery schedules due to new outbreaks of COVID-19 in Southern China that have forced temporary closures of some key shipping ports. The port closures have also led to a temporary shortage of shipping containers which have resulted in significant price increases due to increased demand. While we have seen the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and the impact on our business, we cannot predict the impact of the resurgence of variants of COVID-19 and other factors affecting local and global economies, specifically China.
LEGAL MATTERS
On September 11, 2020, a complaint was filed against the Company’s SMCL subsidiary and various staffing agencies used by SMCL in the Superior Court of San Bernardino County. The complaint alleges an employee of the Company committed employment practice violations against a former temporary employee not employed by the Company. Management investigated the allegation and has engaged an employment attorney to defend the lawsuit. The case is still in discovery and no trial date has been set. Management does not believe the claims have merit and does not believe the lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.
Other than as disclosed above, we are not a party to, and our property is not the subject of, any material legal proceedings.
LEASES
Operating Leases

Finance Leases

The agreement has an effective interest rate of 9.9% and the Company has the option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease term for one dollar. As of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the remaining amounts due on this capital leasing arrangement was approximately $15,000 and $18,000, respectively.

The Company determined that the Warrants meet the conditions for equity classification. Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are hereinafter referred to as the “Warrant Shares”. The exercise price and number of the Warrant Shares are subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments for certain stock dividends, stock splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions or certain equity structure changes.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on September 3, 2021, the Company filed a registration statement providing for the resale by the purchasers of the Shares and Warrant Shares sold in the Private Placement, which registration statement became effective on September 15, 2021. Additionally, under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company was obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to submit an application to have the Company’s common stock listed on a national exchange by December 31, 2021, and to use its reasonable best efforts to have the Shares and Warrant Shares listed on such national exchange as soon as practicable following the submission of such application. As indicated, the Common Stock was approved to list on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MICS” and began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 24, 2022.
The closing of the Private Placement took place on August 10, 2021, when the Shares and Warrants were delivered to the purchasers and funds, in the amount of approximately $9,832,000, were received by the Company. Approximately $7,162,000 of the funds was used to execute the Redemption Agreement (See Note 10 – August 2021 Stock Redemption).
Stingray Group Inc. (“Stingray”), a leading music, media and technology company participated in the Private Placement and acquired a minority interest in the Company. Stingray is a long-standing business partner with the Company that provides our customers with music content from their extensive library of expertly produced and licensed karaoke content and is now a related party (see Note 14 - Related Party Transactions).

In connection with the Private Placement, on July 6, 2021, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”), which provided for AGP to serve as the exclusive placement agent, advisor or underwriter (the “placement agent services”). Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, upon closing of the Private Placement, the Company paid AGP placement fees of $630,000 (representing 7% of the gross proceeds raised in the Private Placement excluding proceeds raised from the strategic investor, plus 3.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the strategic investor), and issued AGP warrants to purchase 44,445 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Advisor Warrants”) (representing % of the aggregate number of Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in the Private Placement, excluding the Shares sold to the strategic investor). The Advisor Warrants have the same exercise price ($) and terms as the Common Warrants issued in the Private Placement. The Company estimated the fair value of the Advisor Warrants to be approximately $359,000 using the Black-Scholes Model based on the following input assumptions: common stock price of $, expected life of the warrants of 2.5 years; stock price volatility of %; dividend yield of %; and the risk-free interest rate of %.
In addition to the placement fees paid to AGP, the Company incurred additional offering costs for direct incremental legal, consulting, accounting and filing fees related to the Private Placement of approximately $390,000, of which one consultant was issued shares of restricted common stock with an aggregate fair value of approximately $189,000 and a cash payment of $100,000. Total offering costs related to the Private Placement amounted approximately $831,000 of which was payment of stock issuance expenses, which is recorded as an offset to additional paid in capital in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

| CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT AND SALES RISK | NOTE 17 - CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT AND SALES RISK
The Company derives a majority of its revenues from retailers of products in the United States. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based upon management’s estimates and historical experience and reflects the fact that accounts receivable are concentrated with several large customers.

| USE OF ESTIMATES | 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.

| COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE | COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Singing Machine’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be in an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other allowances based upon historical collection experience. The Company is subject to chargebacks from customers for co-op program incentives, defective returns, return freight and handling charges that are deducted from open invoices and reduce collectability of open invoices. Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.

| 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, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the estimated amounts for these future inventory returns were approximately $1,112,000 and $683,000, 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, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Company had inventory reserves of approximately $271,000 and $364,000, respectively for estimated excess and obsolete inventory.

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.” No impairment was recorded as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.

| LEASES | LEASES
The Company follows FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. The ASC requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. (See Note 8– LEASES).
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the financing interest rate for its finance leases.

| FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We follow FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits, and refunds due to customers approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The carrying amounts on the notes payable, finance leases and installment notes approximate fair value either due to the relatively short period to maturity or the related interest is accrued at a rate similar to market rates. The carrying amounts on the revolving line of credit approximates fair value due the relatively short period to maturity and related interest accrued at market rates.

| 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 selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion incentives 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, 2022 and 2021 co-op promotion incentives were approximately $724,000 and $738,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 co-op promotion incentives were approximately $1,020,000 and $1,010,000, respectively.
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.
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 income as our underlying customer agreements are less than one year.
While the Company has no overstock return privileges in its vendor agreements with its customers, 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 from 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 as of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, were approximately $1,691,000 and $990,000 respectively.
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 13 – SEGMENT INFORMATION).
Revenue is derived from five different major product lines. Disaggregated revenue from these product lines for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following:

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 shipping and handling expenses were approximately $115,000 and $134,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 shipping and handling expenses were approximately $161,000 and $285,000, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

| 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 income 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, 2022 and 2021 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, 2022 and 2021, the stock option expense was approximately $70,000 and $8,000, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the stock option expense was approximately $86,000 and $13,000, 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 both September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Company recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $78,000.
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, 2022 and 2021 we estimated our effective U.S federal tax rate to be approximately 21% and 20%, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022 the Singing Machine had net deferred tax assets of approximately $812,000 and $893,000, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $102,000 and $174,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of approximately $97,000 and $146,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
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, 2022, 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.

| COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE |
Basic net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution assuming shares of common stock were issued upon the exercise of outstanding in-the-money options and the proceeds thereof were used to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period using the treasury stock method. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2022, options to purchase shares of common stock were excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 options and warrants to purchase were excluded in the calculation of diluted net income per share as the result would have been anti-dilutive.

| RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
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 the Company beginning 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. |
