Note 7 – Acquisition

On July 19, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), NoJo Baby & Kids, Inc. (“NoJo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain specified liabilities, of Baby Boom Consumer Products, Inc. (“Baby Boom”) (“the Acquisition”), for a purchase price of $18.0 million in cash, subject to a dollar-for-dollar adjustment to the extent that the working capital at closing was greater or less than the target working capital of approximately $6.5 million. The Acquisition was funded by the Company using the proceeds of an $8.0 million term loan from The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”) and additional borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit with CIT.

The Acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company is currently determining the allocation of the acquisition cost with the assistance of an independent third party. The identifiable assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair value, which has been preliminarily determined based on available information and the use of multiple valuation approaches. The estimated useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets acquired were determined based upon the remaining time that these assets are expected to directly or indirectly contribute to the future cash flow of the Company. Certain data necessary to complete the acquisition cost allocation is not yet available, including the final appraisals and valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The acquisition cost paid on the Closing Date amounted to $16.4 million, which included an estimate for the net working capital adjustment. The following table represents the Company’s preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost (in thousands) to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their respective estimated fair values as of the Closing Date. The excess of the acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is reflected as goodwill.

The Company expects to complete the acquisition cost allocation during the 12-month period following the Closing Date, during which time the values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the goodwill, may need to be revised as appropriate.

Based upon the preliminary allocation of the acquisition cost, the Company recognized $5.3 million of goodwill as of the Closing Date, the entirety of which was assigned to the reporting unit of the Company that produces and markets infant and toddler bedding and diaper bags, and the entirety of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The goodwill recognized primarily consists of synergies expected from combining operations of Baby Boom and the Company and intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition.

The assets acquired in the Acquisition generated net sales of $3.4 million of bedding and diaper bag products for the three-month period ended September 29, 2024. Amortization expense associated with the acquired amortizable intangible assets was $65,000 during the three and six months ended September 29, 2024, respectively, which is included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 15 years for the tradename, 14 years for the customer and licensing relationships and 14 years on a weighted-average basis for the grouping taken together.

The Company has determined, on a pro forma basis, that the combined net sales and the combined net income of the Company and Baby Boom, giving effect to the Acquisition as if it had been completed on April 3, 2023, would have been $25.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for the three-month period ended September 29, 2024, and would have been $45.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the six-month period ended September 29, 2024. The combined net sales and the combined net income would have been $29.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the three-month period ended October 1, 2023, and would have been $52.4 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the six-month period ended October 1, 2023. The combined net income includes adjustments related to the amortization of the amortizable intangible assets acquired and estimates of the interest expense and income tax expense or benefit that would have been incurred, but otherwise do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from the realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies, or any revenue, tax or other synergies that may result from the Acquisition.
