Note 7 Carousel Designs

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income include income, expenses and losses recognized in respect of the operating activities of Carousel Designs, LLC (“Carousel”), a wholly-owned subsidiary that manufactured and marketed infant and toddler bedding directly to consumers online from a facility in Douglasville, Georgia. On May 5, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the closure of Carousel due to its high costs, declining sales and operating and cash flow losses, as well as management’s determination that, due to post-COVID-19 competitive pressures in the infant, toddler and juvenile products segment within the consumer products industry, such losses were likely to continue. Accordingly, the operations of Carousel ceased on May 21, 2021.

 

During the three and six-month periods ended September 26, 2021, Carousel experienced a gross loss of $41,000 and $688,000, respectively. The gross loss was the result of the sale of inventory below cost and, for the three-month period ended June 27, 2021 and the six-month period ended September 26, 2021, the recognition of charges of $334,000 related to the settlement with a supplier of a commitment to purchase fabric and $265,000 associated with the liquidation of Carousel’s remaining inventory upon the closure of the business.
