Note 13 – Major Customers and Concentrations
Product Sourcing: Foreign and domestic contract manufacturers produce most of the Company’s products, with the largest concentration being in China. The Company makes sourcing decisions on the basis of quality, timeliness of delivery and price, including the impact of ocean freight and duties. Although the Company maintains relationships with a limited number of suppliers, the Company believes that its products may be readily manufactured by several alternative sources in quantities sufficient to meet the Company’s requirements. The Company’s management and quality assurance personnel visit the third-party facilities regularly to monitor and audit product quality and to ensure compliance with labor requirements and social and environmental standards. In addition, the Company closely monitors the currency exchange rate. The impact of future fluctuations in the exchange rate or changes in safeguards cannot be predicted with certainty.
The U.S. government has implemented tariffs on imports from certain countries, including China. The new tariffs have increased the cost of the products the Company sources from China and have affected shipments from the Company’s Chinese-based suppliers. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the imposition of new tariffs on imports from China to the Company’s business and financial condition. The actual impact of the new tariffs is uncertain because it is subject to a number of factors, including the duration of such tariffs, changes in the amount, scope and nature of the tariffs in the future, any countermeasures that China may take and any mitigation actions that may become available.
The Company maintains foreign representative offices located in Shanghai and Shenzhen, China, which are responsible for the coordination of production, purchases and shipments, seeking out new vendors and overseeing inspections for social compliance and quality. No supplier represented at least 10% of the Company’s total suppliers.
Licensed Products: Certain products are manufactured and sold pursuant to licensing agreements for trademarks. Also, many of the designs used by the Company are copyrighted by other parties, including trademark licensors, and are available to the Company through copyright license agreements. The licensing agreements are generally for an initial term of one to three years and may or may not be subject to renewal or extension. Sales of licensed products represented 50% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2025, which included 21% of sales under the Company’s license agreements with affiliated companies of The Walt Disney Company, which expire as set forth below:
The Company expects to renew the licenses upon their expiration.
Customers: The Company’s customers consist principally of mass merchants, large chain stores, mid-tier retailers, juvenile specialty stores, value channel stores, grocery and drug stores, restaurants, internet accounts and wholesale clubs. The Company does not enter into long-term or other purchase agreements with its customers. The table below sets forth those customers that represented more than 10% of the Company’s gross sales during the fiscal years ended March 30, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
