Note 4 Carousel Designs

 

During fiscal 2021 and the first 54 days of fiscal 2022, Carousel manufactured and marketed infant and toddler bedding directly to consumers online from a facility in Douglasville, Georgia. During the Company’s review for impairment of its long-lived asset groups and certain identifiable intangible asset groups as of March 28, 2021, management evaluated Carousel’s history of operating and cash flow losses and concluded that such losses were likely to continue. The Company developed the fair value of each of Carousel’s long-lived asset groups by using a combination of income, cost and market approaches. The result of this evaluation was management’s determination that the carrying value of Carousel’s long-lived asset group exceeded its fair value, which required the Company to impair Carousel’s long-lived asset group to its fair value and to recognize a related loss from the impairment of Carousel’s long-lived asset group during the fiscal year ended March 28, 2021, as follows (in thousands):

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 fiscal year ended April 3, 2022, Carousel experienced a gross loss of $689,000, which was the result of the sale of inventory below cost and 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.
