Previous wording

While at present the majority of our products are sourced either in the United States or China, the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas war may nonetheless increase the likelihood of supply chain disruptions and hinder our ability to find the materials we need to make our products. Thus far, as a result of the general global economic disruption, we have experienced a delay in, as well as an increase in, costs in shipping, resulting in in increased inventory levels in our warehouse facilities, thus resulting in reduced profits. In addition, supply chain disruptions may put upward pressure on our costs and increase the risk that we may be unable to acquire the materials and services we need to continue to make certain products.

Previous wording

While the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic has seemingly passed and we believe that the pandemic is unlikely to significantly impact our business going forward, we continue to closely monitor its impact on our business, results of operations and financial results. The situation surrounding the pandemic remains fluid and the full extent of the positive or negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on certain developments including the length of time of any regional outbreaks, the impact on consumer activity and behaviors, and the effect on our customers, employees, suppliers and stockholders, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material adverse impact on our operations to date and we believe the long-term opportunity that we see for shopping online remains unchanged, it is difficult to predict all of the positive or negative impacts that COVID-19 may have on our business over time. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our customers, employees, suppliers, stockholders and communities.

Previous wording

In additional to general consumer goods, we sell hydroponic gardening products to end users that may use such products in new and emerging industries or segments, including for purposes of growing of cannabis. The demand for hydroponic gardening products depends on the uncertain growth of these industries or segments due to varying, inconsistent and rapidly changing laws, regulations, administrative practices, enforcement approaches, judicial interpretations, and consumer perceptions. For example, certain countries and a total of 46 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia have adopted frameworks that authorize, regulate and tax the cultivation, processing, sale and use of cannabis for medicinal and/or non-medicinal use, including legalization of hemp and CBD, while the U.S. Controlled Substances Act and the laws of certain U.S. states prohibit growing cannabis. Demand for our products could be impacted by changes in the regulatory environment with respect to such industries and segments.

Previous wording

Based on our current operating plan, and despite the current uncertainty resulting from the ongoing Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Hamas military conflicts, and the effects of COVID-19, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance our operations during the next 12 months.

Current wording

Based on our current operating plan, and despite the current uncertainty resulting from the ongoing Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Hamas military conflicts, and any latent effects of COVID-19, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to finance our operations during the next 12 months.

Previous wording

Our cash requirements consist primarily of day-to-day operating expenses and obligations with respect to warehouse leases. We lease all of our office and warehouse facilities. We expect to make future payments on existing leases from cash generated from operations. We have credit terms in place with our major suppliers, however, as we bring on new suppliers, we are often required to prepay our inventory purchases from them. This is consistent with our historical operating model which allowed us to operate using only cash generated by the business. Beyond the next 12 months we believe that our cash flow from operations should improve as supply chains begin to return to normal and new suppliers we are bringing online transition to credit terms more favorable to us. In addition, we plan to increase the size of our in-house product catalog, which will have a net beneficial impact on our margin profile and ability to generate cash. Currently, we have approximately $10 million in unused credit available under the revolving line with JPM. Given our current working capital position and available funding from our revolving credit line, we believe we will be able to manage through the current challenges by managing payment terms with customers and vendors.

Previous wording

The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pretax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations. As of December 31, 2023, there were no indicators of impairment.

Currently we are working on renewal of the revolving line with JPM. Nonetheless, given our current working capital position and available funding from our revolving credit line, which we will seek to refinance between now and the JPM maturity date, we believe we will be able to manage through the current challenges by managing payment terms with customers and vendors.
