Previous wording

Certain customers have historically made up a significant percentage of the Company’s product sales and net revenues. For fiscal 2025, Amazon and Walmart accounted for approximately 39% and 31%, respectively, of the Company’s net revenues. For fiscal 2024, Walmart, Amazon and Fred Meyer accounted for approximately 53%, 20% and 10%, respectively, of the Company’s net revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenues during these periods. All customer purchases are made through individual purchase orders and the Company does not have any long-term supply contracts with its customers. Accordingly, sales from customers that have accounted for a significant portion of the Company’s net product sales and net revenues in past periods, individually or as a group, may not continue in future periods, or if continued, may not reach or exceed historical levels in any period, which has happened in the past and could happen in the future. Some of the Company’s key customers may also experience economic difficulties or otherwise default on their obligations to the Company. The complete loss of, or significant reduction in business from, or a material adverse change in the financial condition of, any of the Company’s key customers would cause a material and adverse change in the Company’s revenues and operating results.

Current wording

A small number of key customers have historically made up a significant percentage of the Company’s product sales and net revenues. For fiscal 2026, Amazon and Fred Meyer accounted for approximately 42% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s net revenues. For fiscal 2025, Amazon and Walmart accounted for approximately 39% and 31%, respectively, of the Company’s net revenues. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenues during either period. Although the Company has long-standing relationships with its major customers, all customer purchases are made through individual purchase orders and the Company does not have any long-term supply contracts with its customers. Accordingly, sales from customers that have accounted for a significant portion of the Company’s net product sales and net revenues in past periods, individually or as a group, may not continue in future periods, or if continued, may not reach or exceed historical levels in any period, which has happened in the past and could happen in the future. Some of the Company’s key customers may also experience economic difficulties or otherwise default on their obligations to the Company. The complete loss of, or significant reduction in business from, or a material adverse change in the financial condition of, any of the Company’s key customers would cause a material and adverse change in the Company’s revenues and operating results.

Previous wording

The Company derives a substantial portion of its product revenues from a limited number of products, and the Company expects these products to continue to account for a large percentage of its product revenues in the near term. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s gross product sales were comprised principally of two product types within two categories — housewares products and audio products. Microwave ovens, which product type is within the housewares category, generated approximately 51% of the Company’s gross product sales. Audio products generated approximately 47% of the Company’s gross product sales during fiscal 2025. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s gross product sales were comprised principally of the same two product types within the same two categories — housewares products and audio products. During fiscal 2024, microwave ovens generated approximately 32% of the Company’s gross product sales and audio products generated approximately 66% of the Company’s gross product sales. Because the market for these product types and categories is characterized by periodic new product introductions, the Company’s future financial performance will depend, in part, on the successful and timely development and customer acceptance of new and enhanced versions of these product types and other products distributed by the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be successful in marketing these product types within these categories or any other new or enhanced products. For example, certain of the Company’s key customers perform periodic line reviews to assess their product offerings, which have in the past and may in the future lead to loss of business and pricing pressures. As a result of this dependence, a significant decline in pricing of, or market acceptance of these product types and categories, either in general or specifically as marketed by the Company, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operation.

Previous wording

A significant portion of the Company’s product sales are made through third party sales representative organizations, whose members are not employees of the Company. The Company’s level of sales depends on the effectiveness of these organizations, as well as the effectiveness of its own employees. Some of these third party representatives sell, with the Company’s permission, competitive products of third parties as well as the Company’s products. During fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, these organizations were responsible for approximately 52% and 40%, respectively, of the Company’s net revenues. In addition, in fiscal 2025 one of these representative organizations was responsible for approximately 38% and another was responsible for approximately 10% of the Company’s net revenues. In fiscal 2024 one of these representative organizations was responsible for approximately 30% of the Company’s net revenues. No other representative was responsible for greater than 10% of the Company's net revenues in either fiscal 2025 or fiscal 2024. If any of the Company’s third party sales representative organizations engaged by the Company, especially the Company’s largest, fails to adequately promote, market and sell its products, the Company’s revenues could be significantly decreased until a replacement organization or distributor could be retained by the Company, which has happened in the past and could happen in the future. The loss or reduction of product sales made through third party sales representative organizations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and results of operations. Finding replacement organizations and distributors could be a time consuming process during which the Company’s revenues could be negatively impacted.

Previous wording

With the concentration of the Company’s product sales among a limited number of retailers, the Company is dependent upon a small number of customers whose bargaining strength is substantial and growing. Brick-and-mortar retailers generally purchase a limited selection of houseware and consumer electronics products. As a result, there is significant competition for retail shelf space. In addition, the Company’s largest customers, including Walmart and Amazon, use their own private label brands that compete directly with some of the Company’s products. As the retailers in the houseware and consumer electronics industry become more concentrated, competition for sales to these retailers may increase, which could materially reduce the Company's revenues and profitability. Additionally, as large traditional retail and online customers grow even larger and become more sophisticated, they may continue to demand lower pricing, special packaging, shorter lead times for the delivery of products, smaller more frequent shipments, or impose other requirements on product suppliers. These business demands may relate to inventory practices, logistics or other aspects of the customer-supplier relationship. If we do not effectively respond to these demands, these customers could decrease their purchases from us. A reduction in the demand for our products by these customers and the costs of complying with their business demands could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Previous wording

The Company does not have any long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of its suppliers. In fiscal 2025 and 2024, the Company relied on its 4 largest suppliers to supply approximately 95% of its purchases of products. The Company’s failure to maintain existing relationships with its suppliers or to establish new relationships on similar pricing and credit terms in the future could negatively affect the Company’s ability to obtain products in a timely manner. If the Company is unable to obtain an ample supply of product from its existing suppliers or secure alternative sources of supply, it may be unable to satisfy its customers’ orders, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenues and relationships with its customers. Finding replacement suppliers could be a time consuming process during which the Company’s revenues and liquidity could be negatively impacted.

Current wording

The Company does not have any long-term or exclusive purchase commitments with any of its suppliers. In fiscal 2026 and 2025, the Company relied on its four largest suppliers to supply approximately 96% and 95%, respectively, of its purchases of products. The Company’s failure to maintain existing relationships with its suppliers or to establish new relationships on similar pricing and credit terms in the future could negatively affect the Company’s ability to obtain products in a timely manner. If the Company is unable to obtain an ample supply of product from its existing suppliers or secure alternative sources of supply, it may be unable to satisfy its customers’ orders, which could materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenues and relationships with its customers. Finding replacement suppliers could be a time consuming process during which the Company’s revenues and liquidity could be negatively impacted.

Previous wording

The Company has also experienced increased transportation costs in the past due to global supply chain challenges, including the cost of ocean freight from China, and could be subject to future increases in transportation costs. In addition, the Company’s ability to meet customers’ demands depends, in part, on its ability to obtain the timely and adequate shipment of its products. Given that the Company’s suppliers are based primarily in China, finding suppliers outside of China could result in additional risks, including additional compliance requirements with foreign laws and taxes, obtaining distribution and administrative support and training new personnel.

Current wording

The Company also continues to experience increased transportation costs due to global supply chain challenges, including the cost of ocean freight from China. Shipping rates and surcharges are volatile and subject to market fluctuations, and the Company could be subject to future increases in transportation costs which would reduce the Company's margins and adversely affect its profitability. Given that the Company’s suppliers are based primarily in China, finding suppliers outside of China could result in additional risks, including additional compliance requirements with foreign laws and taxes, obtaining distribution and administrative support and training new personnel. Any disruption to the Company's supply chain, even for a relatively short period of time, could cause a loss of revenue, which could adversely affect the Company's operating results.

Previous wording

The Company’s ability to provide high quality customer service, process and fulfill orders, and manage inventory depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation and timely and uninterrupted performance of its suppliers. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience operational difficulties with its suppliers, including reductions in the availability of production capacity, errors in complying with product specifications, insufficient quality control, failures to meet production deadlines, increases in manufacturing costs, increased lead times or production shutdowns or production slowdowns due to health pandemics or otherwise, which have in the past and could in the future result in increased costs and decreased efficiency. If the Company is unable to obtain products from these factories in the required quantities and quality and in a timely fashion, the Company could experience delays or reductions in product shipments to its customers, which could negatively affect the Company’s ability to meet the requirements of its customers, as well as its relationships with its customers, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results. In addition, shipping rates and surcharges are volatile and subject to market fluctuations, and any increases in shipping costs may reduce the Company’s margins and adversely affect its profitability.

Current wording

The Company’s ability to meet customers' demands, process and fulfill orders, and manage inventory depends on the efficient and uninterrupted operation and timely and uninterrupted performance of its suppliers and shipment of its products. The Company can provide no assurances that it will not experience operational difficulties with its suppliers, including reductions in the availability of production capacity, errors in complying with product specifications, insufficient quality control, failures to meet production deadlines, increases in manufacturing costs, increased lead times or production shutdowns or production slowdowns due to health pandemics or otherwise, which have in the past and could in the future result in increased costs and decreased efficiency. With the Company's manufacturers and suppliers located in China, its production lead times are relatively long. Therefore the Company must commit to production in advance of customers' orders. If the Company is unable to forecast customer or consumer demand accurately, the Company may encounter difficulties in filling customer orders on a timely basis or in liquidating excess inventories. If the Company is unable to obtain products from these factories in the required quantities and quality and in a timely fashion, the Company could experience delays or reductions in product shipments to its customers, which could negatively affect the Company’s ability to meet the requirements of its customers, as well as its relationships with its customers, which in turn could materially and adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results.

Tariffs or other restrictions placed on the Company’s products imported into the United States from China, or any related countermeasures taken by China, have had and could continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, profitability and results of operations.

Current wording

Previous wording

Effective in September 2018, the United States imposed tariffs of 10% on certain goods imported from China, including categories of products the Company imports from China. These tariffs were increased to 25% effective in May 2019. Effective in September 2019 (and as amended by the certain Phase One Economic and Trade Agreement entered into between the United States and China in January 2020), the United States imposed additional tariffs of approximately 7.5% on essentially all remaining goods imported from China. The new United States presidential administration has promoted and implemented plans to further raise tariffs and pursue other trade policies intended to restrict imports from nearly all of the United States' current trading partners and, in particular, China. In May 2025, following a series of tariffs imposed by the United States on imports from China and reciprocal tariffs from China on imports from the United States, the countries agreed on cumulative, bilateral reciprocal tariffs of 10% to take effect on August 12, 2025, pending the outcome of ongoing discussions between the countries. It has been reported that these negotiations will result in an additional 20% tariff on imports from China, representing an aggregate tariff rate of 55%. The ultimate scope of the effects on the Company of these imposed and proposed tariffs is uncertain because of the dynamic nature of governmental actions and responses, as well as possible exemptions for certain products. If the currently imposed and proposed tariffs covering the categories of products that the Company imports continue or are increased, and the Company is unable to obtain an exception, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

Current wording

Since 2018, the United States imposed a series of tariffs on certain goods imported from China, including categories of products the Company imports from China. In turn, China has responded to U.S. tariffs with its own tariffs, export controls and market restrictions. In May and October 2025, following a series of tariffs imposed by the United States on imports from China and reciprocal tariffs from China on imports from the United States that dramatically escalated the tariff rate between the two countries, the United States and China agreed on cumulative, bilateral reciprocal tariffs of 10%, pending the outcome of ongoing discussions between the countries. The ultimate scope of the effects on the Company of these imposed and proposed tariffs is uncertain because of the dynamic nature of governmental actions and responses, as well as possible exemptions for certain products. In addition, recent legal and policy developments have also increased uncertainty regarding the enforceability, duration, and potential re‑imposition of certain tariffs. For example, on February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Following that decision, the U.S. administration announced a new 10% global tariff under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, subject to certain exceptions; however, on May 7, 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that the Section 122 tariffs were not authorized by law, a decision the administration has appealed. These and similar developments have created significant uncertainty regarding the status of existing and newly announced tariffs; the future rate, scope, and enforceability of tariffs; the potential adoption of alternative legislative or executive actions; and the continued effectiveness of trade arrangements or mitigation actions adopted in response to prior tariffs. If the currently imposed and proposed tariffs covering the categories of products that the Company imports continue or are increased, and the Company is unable to obtain an exception, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The products that we sell are subject to various mandatory and voluntary standards. As a marketer and distributor of consumer products, we are subject to the Consumer Product Safety Act and the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, which empower the CPSC to seek to exclude from the market those products that are found to be unsafe or hazardous. In addition, the U.S. FDA and other governmental authorities regulate the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of certain of our products. Under certain circumstances, the CPSC, the FDA or other government agencies could require us to repair, replace or refund the purchase price of one or more of our products, or we may voluntarily do so. Any repurchases or recalls of our products could be costly to us and could damage our reputation or the value of our brands. If we are required to remove, or we voluntarily remove our products from the market, our reputation or brands could be tarnished, and we might have large quantities of finished products that could not be sold. Furthermore, failure to timely notify the CPSC, the FDA or other applicable government agencies of a potential safety hazard can result in fines being assessed against us. Additionally, laws regulating certain of our products exist in some states, as well as in other countries in which we sell our products, and more restrictive laws and regulations may be adopted in the future. Our results of operations are also susceptible to adverse publicity regarding the quality and safety of our products. In particular, product recalls may result in a decline in sales for a particular product.

Electrical appliances are subject to various mandatory and voluntary standards. Some jurisdictions require that products be listed by Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. (UL), a not-for-profit organization that sets safety standards for products, or other similar recognized laboratories. We endeavor to design our products to meet the certification requirements of, and to be certified in, each of the jurisdictions in which they are sold. Failure to comply with such certification requirements could result in additional re-design expenses, fines, or product liability claims.

Previous wording

The Company is subject to income taxes in various federal, state, local and certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company records tax expense based on its estimates of future payments, which may include reserves for uncertain tax positions in multiple tax jurisdictions, and valuation allowances related to certain net deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards. In addition, tax laws in certain jurisdictions may limit the ability to use net operating loss carryforwards upon a change in control. At any one time, many tax years may be subject to audit by various taxing jurisdictions. The results of these audits and negotiations with taxing authorities may affect the ultimate settlement of these issues. In addition, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period may be materially affected by a variety of factors including but not limited to changes in the mix and level of revenues, varying tax rates in the different jurisdictions in which the Company operates, fluctuations in the valuation allowance, timing of the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, or by changes to existing accounting rules or regulations. Further, tax legislation or changes in tax rules and regulations or the interpretations thereof may be enacted in the future which could negatively affect the Company’s current or future tax structure and effective tax rates. For example, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has introduced a framework to implement a global minimum corporate income tax of 15%, referred to as “Pillar Two.” Certain countries in which we operate have enacted legislation to adopt Pillar Two and other countries are considering changes to their tax laws to implement this framework. The EU agreed to implement Pillar Two starting in 2024. Whether, and to what extent, Pillar Two is adopted or enacted by the other jurisdictions in which we operate is uncertain and could increase the cost and complexity on compliance and may adversely affect our global effective tax rate, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s common stock, which trades on the NYSE American, has experienced, and may experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations, which could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock. For example, the Company believes that recent volatility in the market price of the Company’s common stock reflects market and trading dynamics unrelated to the Company’s underlying business or macro or industry fundamentals. These fluctuations have been accompanied by reports of strong and atypical retail investor interest, including on social media and online forums. The Company may continue to incur rapid and substantial increases or decreases in its stock price that may not coincide in timing with the disclosure of news or developments by or affecting the Company. Accordingly, the market price of the Company’s common stock may fluctuate dramatically, and may decline rapidly, regardless of any developments in the Company’s business. The market price of the Company’s common stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including:

Pursuant to the Company’s corporate bylaws, as amended (the “bylaws”), unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder); (v) any action or proceeding as to which the General Corporation Law of Delaware confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (vi) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. This forum selection clause in the Company’s bylaws does not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States of America have exclusive jurisdiction. The bylaws further provide, that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, the bylaws provide that any person or entity holding, owning or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to these provisions.

Pursuant to the Company’s corporate bylaws, as amended (the “bylaws”), unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time); (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (including any right, obligation or remedy thereunder); (v) any action or proceeding as to which the General Corporation Law of Delaware confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; and (vi) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director, officer or other employee of the Company or any stockholder, governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants.

In addition, the bylaws provide that any person or entity holding, owning or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to these provisions.
