PART I

ITEM 1. Business

Description of Business

The Company operates indirectly through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, NoJo Baby & Kids, Inc. (“NoJo”) and Sassy Baby, Inc. (“Sassy”), in the infant, toddler and juvenile products segment within the consumer products industry. The infant, toddler and juvenile products segment consists of infant and toddler bedding, bibs, toys, plush, dolls, diaper bags, disposables and feeding products. Most sales of the Company’s products are generally made directly to retailers, such as mass merchants, large chain stores, mid-tier retailers, juvenile specialty stores, value channel stores, grocery and drug stores, restaurants, wholesale clubs and internet-based retailers. The Company’s products are marketed under a variety of Company-owned trademarks, under trademarks licensed from others and as private label goods.

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to or on March 31. References herein to “fiscal year 2026” or “2026” represent the 52-week period ended March 29, 2026, and references herein to “fiscal year 2025” or “2025” represent the 52-week period ended March 30, 2025.

The Company was incorporated as a Georgia corporation in 1957 and was reincorporated as a Delaware corporation in 2003. The Company’s executive offices are located at 8184 Highway 44, Suite 111, Gonzales, Louisiana 70737, its telephone number is (225) 647-9100 and its internet address is www.crowncrafts.com.

International Sales

Sales to customers in countries other than the U.S. represented 9% and 8% of the Company’s total gross sales during fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively. International sales are based upon the location that predominately represents what the Company believes to be the final destination of the products delivered to the Company’s customers.

Competition

The infant, toddler and juvenile consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety of distributors and manufacturers (both branded and private label), including large infant, toddler and juvenile product companies and specialty infant, toddler and juvenile product manufacturers, on the basis of quality, design, price, brand name recognition, service and packaging. The Company’s ability to compete depends principally on styling, price, service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and trade names.

Human Capital Resources

As of March 29, 2026, the Company had 149 employees, all of whom are full-time and none of whom is represented by a labor union or is otherwise a party to a collective bargaining agreement. Crown Crafts’ employees drive the Company’s business growth and success. In return, Crown Crafts strives to drive the professional growth, success and well-being of our employees. Crown Crafts’ workplace policies and initiatives aim to create a workplace of choice that attracts and retains the talent needed to achieve the Company’s business objectives. The Company attracts and maintains qualified personnel by paying competitive salaries and benefits and offering opportunities for advancement. The Company’s success is only possible with the hard work and dedication of the Company’s employees.

Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents

The Company considers its intellectual property to be of material importance to its business. Sales of products marketed under the Company’s trademarks, including Sassy®, Manhattan Toy®, NoJo®, Baby Boom® and Neat Solutions®, accounted for 41% and 39% of the Company’s total gross sales during fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively. Protection for these trademarks is obtained through domestic and foreign registrations. The Company also markets designs that are subject to copyrights and design patents owned by the Company.

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 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 control.

The Company’s products are warehoused and distributed domestically from leased facilities located in Compton, California and Eden Valley, Minnesota and internationally from third-party logistics warehouses in Belgium, Shanghai and the United Kingdom.

During 2025, the U.S. administration issued executive orders directing the United States to impose new tariffs on imports from several nations, including China. The additional tariffs increased the cost of the products the Company sources from China and has affected shipments from the Company’s Chinese-based suppliers. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”) were not authorized by the statute and were deemed illegal. In April 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection launched the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”), a platform for importers of record to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests. The Company has evaluated its eligibility to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests, is complying with all applicable refund procedures and has submitted its eligible entries. The ultimate availability, timing and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs are highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory and administrative developments. We continue to monitor these developments and the evolving tariff environment. See “Risk Factors – Global trade policy and the imposition of tariffs on imports from China have adversely affected the cost and sourcing of the Company’s products among other things” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Known Trends and Uncertainties”.

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 52% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2026, which included 23% of gross sales under the Company’s license agreements with affiliated companies of The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”). The Company’s license agreement with Disney expires December 31, 2027 and covers infant and toddler bedding, diaper bags, infant feeding and bath in the United States and Canada, and bibs and disposable products in the United States, Canada and Japan.

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 at least 10% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal years 2026 and 2025.

Products

The Company’s primary focus is on infant, toddler and juvenile products, including the following:

Seasonality and Inventory Management

There are no significant variations in the seasonal demand for the Company’s products from year to year. Sales are generally higher in periods when customers take initial shipments of new products, as these orders typically include enough products for initial sets for each store and additional quantities for the customer’s distribution centers. The timing of these initial shipments varies by customer and depends on when the customer finalizes store layouts for the upcoming year and whether the customer has any mid-year introductions of products. Sales may also be higher or lower, as the case may be, in periods when customers are restricting internal inventory levels. Customer returns of merchandise shipped are historically less than 1% of gross sales.

Consistent with the expected introduction of specific product offerings, the Company carries necessary levels of inventory to meet the anticipated delivery requirements of its customers. The Company will also typically increase the purchases and inventory levels of its products in the months prior to the Lunar New Year, a celebration beginning in late January to mid-February during which the Company’s contract manufacturers in China cease operations for 2-4 weeks.

Government Regulation and Environmental Control

The Company is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, which regulate, among other things, product safety and the discharge, storage, handling and disposal of a variety of substances and wastes, and to laws and regulations relating to employee safety and health, principally the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act and regulations thereunder. The Company believes that it currently complies in all material respects with applicable environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and that future compliance with such existing laws or regulations will not have a material adverse effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. However, there is no assurance that such requirements will not become more stringent in the future or that the Company will not have to incur significant costs to comply with such requirements.

During 2025, the U.S. administration issued executive orders directing the United States to impose new tariffs on imports from several nations, including China. The additional tariffs increased the cost of the products the Company sources from China and has affected shipments from the Company’s Chinese-based suppliers. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were not authorized by the statute and were deemed illegal. In April 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection launched CAPE, a platform for importers of record to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests. The Company has evaluated its eligibility to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests, is complying with all applicable refund procedures and has submitted its eligible entries. The ultimate availability, timing and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs are highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory and administrative developments. We continue to monitor these developments and the evolving tariff environment. See “Risk Factors – The imposition of tariffs on imports from China have adversely affected the cost and sourcing of the Company’s products among other things” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Known Trends and Uncertainties”.

Product Design and Styling

The Company believes that its creative team is one of its key strengths. The Company’s product designs are primarily created internally and are supplemented by numerous additional sources, including independent artists, decorative fabric manufacturers and apparel designers. Ideas for product design creations are drawn from various sources and are reviewed and modified by the design staff to ensure consistency within the Company’s existing product offerings and the themes and images associated with such existing products. In order to respond effectively to changing consumer preferences, the Company’s designers and stylists attempt to stay abreast of emerging lifestyle trends in color, fashion and design. When designing products under the Company’s various licensed brands, the Company’s designers coordinate their efforts with the licensors’ design teams to provide for a more fluid design approval process and to effectively incorporate the image of the licensed brand into the product. The Company’s designs include traditional, contemporary, textured and whimsical patterns across a broad spectrum of retail price points.

The Company continually develops new designs throughout the year for all of its product groups. This continual development cycle affords the Company design flexibility, multiple opportunities to present new products to customers and the ability to provide timely responses to customer demands and changing market trends. The Company also creates designs for exclusive sale by certain of its customers under the Company’s brands, as well as the customers’ private label brands.

Sales and Marketing

The Company’s products are marketed through a national sales force consisting of salaried sales executives and employees located in Louisiana, California, Minnesota, Michigan and Arkansas, and by independent commissioned sales representatives located throughout the United States.

Available Information

The Company makes available free of charge on its website at www.crowncrafts.com the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and exhibits and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable upon filing such information with, or furnishing it to, the SEC. These reports are also available without charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The following risk factors as well as the other information contained in this Annual Report and other filings made by the Company with the SEC should be considered in evaluating the Company’s business. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known or that are not currently considered material may also impair the Company’s business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, then operating results may be affected in future periods.

Risks Associated with the Company, Business and Industry

The loss of one or more of the Company’s key customers could result in a material loss of revenues.

The Company’s top two customers represented approximately 57% of gross sales in fiscal year 2026. Although the Company does not enter into contracts with its key customers, it expects its key customers to continue to be a significant portion of its gross sales in the future. The loss of, or a decline in orders from, one or more of these customers could result in a material decrease in the Company’s revenue and operating income.

The loss of one or more of the Company’s licenses could result in a material loss of revenues.

Sales of licensed products represented 52% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2026, which included 23% of gross sales associated with the Company’s license agreements with Disney. The Company could experience a material loss of revenues if it is unable to renew its major license agreements or obtain new licenses. The volume of sales of licensed products is inherently tied to the success of the characters, films and other licensed programs of the Company’s licensors. A decline in the popularity of these licensed programs or the inability of the licensors to develop new properties for licensing could also result in a material loss of revenues to the Company. Additionally, the Company’s license agreements with Disney and others require a material amount of minimum guaranteed royalty payments. The failure by the Company to achieve the sales envisioned by the license agreements could result in the payment by the Company of shortfalls in the minimum guaranteed royalty payments, which would adversely impact the Company’s operating results.

Global trade policy and the imposition of tariffs on imports from China have adversely affected the cost and sourcing of the Company’s products, among other things.

The Company's business is worldwide in scope, and political instability, civil unrest, or the deterioration of the political, economic, or social situation or changes to trade policy or the breakdown of trade relations with the United States in a country in which the Company has significant manufacturing, operations or sales, or from which the Company sources raw materials, components or finished products could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company sources its products primarily from foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. During 2025, the U.S. administration issued executive orders directing the United States to impose new tariffs on imports from several nations, including China. The additional tariffs have increased the cost of the products the Company sources from China and for a time affected shipments from the Company’s Chinese-based suppliers. The Company was not able to pass along to its customers all increases in tariffs and freight charges, and alterations the Company made to its business strategy and operations to adapt to the foregoing, including sourcing products from suppliers in other countries, were time consuming and expensive. Any unforeseen future additional tariffs may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

Global trade policy continues to evolve and the ultimate impact of recent developments with respect to U.S. tariffs is unclear. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under IEEPA were not authorized by the statute and were deemed illegal. Following the Supreme Court’s decision, the U.S. presidential administration announced its intention to invoke other laws to collect tariffs and announced new tariffs on imports from all countries, in addition to any existing non-IEEPA tariffs. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified or suspended, and the impacts of such actions on the Company's business. These and future changes in tariffs, trade policies, trade actions or retaliatory trade measures in response, have resulted and may continue to result in additional costs and pricing pressures, supply chain disruptions, volatile or unpredictable customer spending patterns and increased economic or geopolitical risks, which could adversely impact the Company's future sales, and the Company’s business, cash flow, results of operations, and financial condition, materially or in ways that the Company cannot predict.

Any increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade imposed by the United States, or further retaliatory trade measures or currency controls taken by other countries in response, could further adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Growing geopolitical tensions could adversely affect the Company’s operations and profitability.

We are currently experiencing significant geopolitical instability and armed conflicts in multiple regions of the world, including the ongoing conflict involving Russia and Ukraine, armed conflict and tensions involving Iran in the Middle East, increasing military and political tensions involving China and Taiwan, and increasingly unpredictable and provocative actions by North Korea. These events, including disruptions affecting the Strait of Hormuz, a critical transit route for a significant portion of the world’s crude oil supply, together with elevated global oil prices and volatility in energy and financial markets, could result in a slowdown to the global economy that may affect the Company’s business by reducing the prices that the Company’s customers may be willing or able to pay for its products or by reducing the demand for the Company’s products, which could negatively impact the Company’s revenues and result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

Disruptions to global energy supplies, shipping routes and international trade flows have resulted, and may continue to result, in increased fuel, transportation, logistics, tariff and raw material costs, including costs associated with petroleum-based materials used in the manufacture and packaging of the Company’s products. In addition, geopolitical instability, military activity, sanctions, retaliatory trade measures, cyberattacks and related economic uncertainty may adversely affect the operations of the Company’s manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, logistics providers and other business partners, particularly those operating in or sourcing from China and other internationally connected markets.

Increased inflationary pressures, higher fuel and household energy costs, weakening consumer confidence and broader macroeconomic uncertainty may also reduce discretionary consumer spending, including spending on toys and other non-essential consumer products, particularly during key seasonal selling periods. Any prolonged escalation or expansion of regional conflicts, continued disruption of critical shipping channels, sustained increases in oil prices, deterioration in U.S.-China relations, instability involving Taiwan, or broader disruption to global trade and economic conditions could materially adversely impact consumer demand, the Company’s supply chain, the Company’s ability to source and transport products in a timely and cost-effective manner, and the Company’s overall business, financial condition and results of operations.

Climate change may negatively affect the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.

The Company is exposed to risks associated with climate change. The adverse impacts of climate change include the increased frequency and severity of natural disasters and extreme weather events, including hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, extreme heat, rising sea levels and inland flooding. The occurrence of one or more of these events pose a physical risk to the Company’s facilities, as well as those of its customers, suppliers and employees, the likelihood of a loss of the Company’s inventory and an overall disruption to the Company’s operations. Climate change has the potential to result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flow, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s inability to anticipate and respond to consumers’ tastes and preferences could adversely affect the Company’s revenues.

Sales are driven by consumer demand for the Company’s products. There can be no assurance that the demand for the Company’s products will not decline or that the Company will be able to anticipate and respond to changes in demand related to consumers’ tastes and preferences. The infant and toddler consumer products industry is characterized by the continual development of cutting-edge new products to meet the high standards of parents. Also, social media has caused, and will continue to cause, monumental shifts in the modern shopping experience. The Company’s failure to adapt to these changes, develop new products or reach consumers where they are could lead to lower sales and excess inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s sourcing and marketing operations in foreign countries are subject to anti-corruption laws.

The Company’s foreign operations are subject to laws prohibiting improper payments and bribery, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws and regulations in foreign jurisdictions, which apply to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and agents acting on behalf of the Company. Failure to comply with these laws could result in damage to the Company’s reputation, a diversion of management’s attention from its business, increased legal and investigative costs, and civil and criminal penalties, any or all of which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company’s business is impacted by general economic conditions and related uncertainties, including a declining birthrate, affecting markets in which the Company operates.

The Company’s growth is impacted by the birthrate, and in particular, the rate of first births. Geopolitical risks and economic conditions, including the real and perceived threat of wars, terrorism, inflation, interest rates, tension among nations, rising prices or unemployment, could lead individuals to decide to forgo or delay having children. Even under optimal conditions, shifts in demographic trends and preferences could have the consequence of individuals starting to have children later in life and/or having fewer children.

In recent years, the birthrate in the United States has steadily declined. This in connection with other economic conditions could result in reduced demand for some of the Company’s products, increased order cancellations and returns, an increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories and increased pressure on the prices of the Company’s products.  Also, although the Company’s use of a commercial factor significantly reduces the risk associated with collecting accounts receivable, such factor may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. The bankruptcy of a customer, the perceived pending threat of a bankruptcy of a customer, or an adverse change in overall economic conditions are among the events that would increase the likelihood that the factor would terminate or limit its approval of shipments to customers.  Such an action by the factor could result in the loss of future sales to such affected customers.

Economic conditions could result in an increase in the costs of the Company’s products.

Significant increases in freight costs, tariffs, and the price of raw materials that are components of the Company’s products, including cotton, oil and labor, could adversely affect the amounts that the Company must pay its suppliers for its finished goods. If the Company is unable to pass these cost increases along to its customers, its profitability could be adversely affected.

The Company could experience losses associated with its intellectual property.

The Company relies upon the fair interpretation and enforcement of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the U.S., similar laws in other countries, and agreements with employees, customers, suppliers, licensors and other parties. Such reliance serves to establish and maintain the intellectual property rights associated with the products that the Company develops and sells. However, the laws and courts of certain countries at times do not protect intellectual property rights or respect contractual agreements to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions the Company may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights against counterfeiting or enforce its contractual agreements with other parties. Finally, a party could claim that the Company is infringing upon such party’s intellectual property rights, and claims of this type could lead to a civil complaint. An unfavorable outcome in litigation involving intellectual property could result in any or all of the following: (i) civil judgments against the Company, which could require the payment of royalties on both past and future sales of certain products, as well as plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs; (ii) impairment charges of up to the carrying value of the Company’s intellectual property rights; (iii) restrictions on the ability of the Company to sell certain of its products; (iv) legal and other costs associated with investigations and litigation; and (v) adverse effects on the Company’s competitive position.

The strength of the Company’s competitors may impact the Company’s ability to maintain and grow its sales, which could decrease the Company’s revenues.

The infant and toddler consumer products industry is highly competitive. The Company competes with a variety of distributors and manufacturers, both branded and private label. The Company’s ability to compete successfully depends principally on styling, price, service to the retailer and continued high regard for the Company’s products and trade names. Several of these competitors are larger and have greater financial resources than the Company, and some have experienced financial challenges from time to time, including servicing significant levels of debt. Those facing financial pressures could choose to make particularly aggressive pricing decisions in an attempt to increase revenue. Competitors based in China have begun to sell and ship directly to customers without having to rely on distributors in the destination country, making their products more affordable. The effects of increased competition could result in a material decrease in the Company’s revenues.

The Company’s success is dependent upon retaining key management personnel.

Certain of the Company’s executive management and other key personnel have been integral to the Company’s operations and the execution of its growth strategy. The departure from the Company of one or more of these individuals, along with the inability of the Company to attract qualified and suitable individuals to fill the Company’s open positions, could adversely impact the Company’s growth and operating results.

The Company may need to write down or write off inventory.

If product programs end before the inventory is completely sold, then the remaining inventory may have to be sold at less than carrying value. The market value of certain inventory items could drop to below carrying value after a decline in sales, at the end of programs, or when management makes the decision to exit a product group. Such inventory would then need to be written down to the lower of carrying or market value, or possibly completely written off, which would adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

Recalls or product liability claims could increase costs or reduce sales.

The Company must comply with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which imposes strict standards to protect children from potentially harmful products and which requires that the Company’s products be tested to ensure that they are within acceptable levels for lead and phthalates. The Company must also comply with related regulations developed by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and similar state regulatory authorities. The Company’s products could be subject to involuntary recalls and other actions by these authorities, and concerns about product safety may lead the Company to voluntarily recall, accept returns or discontinue the sale of select products. Product liability claims could exceed or fall outside the scope of the Company’s insurance coverage. Recalls or product liability claims could result in decreased consumer demand for the Company’s products, damage to the Company’s reputation, a diversion of management’s attention from its business and increased customer service and support costs, any or all of which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

The Company could experience adjustments to its effective tax rate or its prior tax obligations, either of which could adversely affect its results of operations.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the many jurisdictions in which it operates, including the U.S., several U.S. states and China. At any particular point in time, several tax years are subject to general examination or other adjustment by these various jurisdictions. Although the Company believes that the calculations and positions taken on its filed income tax returns are reasonable and justifiable, administrative or legal proceedings leading to the outcome of any examination could result in an adjustment to the position that the Company has taken. Such adjustment could result in further adjustment to one or more income tax returns for other jurisdictions, or to income tax returns for prior or subsequent tax years, or both. To the extent that the Company’s reserve for unrecognized tax liabilities is not adequate to support the cumulative effect of such adjustments, the Company could experience a material adverse impact on operating results.

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based on its effective tax rate, which in any given financial statement period could fluctuate based on changes in tax laws or regulations, changes in the mix and level of earnings by taxing jurisdiction, changes in the amount of certain expenses within the consolidated statements of operations that will never be deductible on the Company’s income tax returns and certain charges deducted on the Company’s income tax returns that are not included within the consolidated statements of operations. These changes could cause fluctuations in the Company’s effective tax rate either on an absolute basis, or in relation to varying levels of the Company’s pre-tax income. Such fluctuations in the Company’s effective tax rate could adversely affect its results of operations.

Changes in international trade regulations and other risks associated with foreign trade could adversely affect the Company’s sourcing.

The Company sources its products primarily from foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. Difficulties encountered by these suppliers, such as fires, accidents, natural disasters and the instability inherent in operating within an authoritarian political structure, could halt or disrupt production and shipment of the Company’s products. The Chinese government could make allegations against the Company of corruption or antitrust violations, or could adopt regulations related to the manufacture of products within China, including quotas, duties, taxes and other charges or restrictions on the exportation of goods produced in China. The Company could also be affected by the United States imposition or increase of import duties, tariffs and other import regulations and deteriorating diplomatic relations with China, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flow, results of operations and financial condition. See “Risk Factors – The imposition of tariffs on imports from China have adversely affected the cost and sourcing of the Company’s products, among other things.”

In response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. government and other allied countries across the world have levied coordinated and wide-ranging economic sanctions against Russia. If China were to escalate its aggression towards Taiwan, similar sanctions could be levied against China, up to and including increased tariffs or a complete ban on the importation of goods manufactured in China, then the Company could be forced to source its products from suppliers in other countries.

The Company’s products are primarily shipped by merchant vessels across the world’s oceans. The intrinsic nature of such shipping includes the risk of intentional or unintentional impediments at the world’s global marine chokepoints, including various straits and the Panama and Suez canals. The recent Iran conflict impacting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has resulted in an increase in oil prices which may affect the Company’s shipping costs. Risk also remains in the Red Sea as firing on merchant vessels by militants of Yemen’s Houthi movement results in shipments to be routed around Africa. These and any other events causing a disruption of the flow of the Company’s products, whether within the Chinese interior, at the port of embarkation, on global waters, or at the destination port, could result in delays in shipping.

Most of the Company’s products are imported from China into the Port of Long Beach in Southern California and the Port of Prince Rupert in British Columbia. There are many links in the distribution chain, including the availability of ocean freight, cranes, dockworkers, containers, tractors, chassis and drivers. The timely receipt of the Company’s products is dependent upon efficient operations at these ports. Any shortages in the availability of any of these links or disruptions in port operations, including strikes, lockouts or other work stoppages or slowdowns, could cause bottlenecks and other congestion in the distribution network, which could adversely impact the Company’s ability to obtain adequate inventory on a timely basis and result in lost sales, increased transportation costs and an overall decrease of the Company’s profits.

Any of these actions could result in lost sales, increased transportation costs and ultimately the inability of the Company to maintain the current sourcing of its products. Also, an arbitrary strengthening of the Chinese currency versus the U.S. Dollar could increase the prices at which the Company purchases finished goods. In addition, changes in U.S. customs procedures or delays in the clearance of goods through customs could result in the Company being unable to deliver goods to customers in a timely manner or the potential loss of sales altogether. The occurrence of any of these events could adversely affect the Company’s profitability.

Disruptions to the Company’s information technology systems could negatively affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company’s operations are highly dependent upon computer hardware and software systems, including customized information technology systems and cloud-based applications. The Company also employs third-party systems and software that are integral to its operations. These systems are vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents, including disruptions and security breaches, which can result from unintentional events or deliberate attacks by insiders or third parties, such as cybercriminals, competitors, nation-states, computer hackers and other cyber terrorists. The Company faces an evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats in which evildoers use a complex array of means to perpetrate attacks, including the use of stolen access credentials, malware, ransomware, phishing, structured query language injection attacks and distributed denial-of-service attacks. The use of AI technologies are in the early stages of widespread adoption and continue to evolve rapidly. The risks to AI include operational risks and the rapidly evolving and uncertain legal and regulatory environment relating to AI.

The Company has implemented both passive and active cybersecurity measures to securely maintain confidential and proprietary information stored on the Company’s information systems and continually invests in maintaining and upgrading the systems and applications to mitigate these risks. In addition to firewalls, antivirus software and intrusion detection, the Company’s passive cybersecurity measures include multifactor authentication for external access to the Company’s cyber networks. The Company’s active cybersecurity measures are designed to detect and prevent live ransomware attacks, insider threats and data breaches. There is no assurance that these measures and technology will adequately prevent an intrusion or that a third party that is relied upon by the Company will not suffer an intrusion, that unauthorized individuals will not gain access to confidential or proprietary information or that any such incident will be timely detected and effectively countered. A significant data security breach could result in negative consequences, including a disruption to the Company’s operations and substantial remediation costs, such as liability for stolen assets or information, repairs of system damage, and incentives to customers or other business partners in an effort to maintain relationships after an attack. An assault against the Company’s information technology infrastructure could also lead to other adverse impacts to its results of operations such as increased future cybersecurity protection costs, which may include making organizational changes, deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, and engaging third-party experts and consultants.

Customer pricing pressures could result in lower selling prices, which could negatively affect the Company’s operating results.

The Company’s customers could place pressure on the Company to reduce the prices of its products. The Company continuously strives to stay ahead of its competition in sourcing, which allows the Company to obtain lower cost products while maintaining high standards for quality. There can be no assurance that the Company could respond to a decrease in sales prices by proportionately reducing its costs, which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results. With the implementation of tariffs on imports from China, there can be no assurance the Company could respond to increases in tariffs and freight charges by passing them along to its customers.

General Risk Factors

The Company’s ability to successfully identify, consummate and integrate acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial results.

As part of its business strategy, the Company has made acquisitions of businesses, divestitures of businesses and assets, and has entered into other transactions to further the interests of the Company’s business and its stockholders. Risks associated with such activities include the following, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s financial results:

The Company’s debt covenants may affect its liquidity or limit its ability to pursue acquisitions, incur debt, make investments, sell assets or complete other significant transactions.

The Company’s credit facility contains usual and customary covenants regarding significant transactions, including restrictions on other indebtedness, liens, investments and acquisitions, merger or consolidation transactions, transactions with affiliates and changes in or amendments to the organizational documents for the Company and its subsidiaries. Unless waived by the Company’s lender, these covenants could limit the Company’s ability to pursue opportunities to expand its business operations, respond to changes in business and economic conditions and obtain additional financing, or otherwise engage in transactions that the Company considers beneficial.

The Company’s ability to comply with its credit facility is subject to future performance and other factors.

The Company’s ability to make required payments of principal and interest on its debts, to refinance its maturing indebtedness, to fund capital expenditures or to comply with its debt covenants will depend upon future performance. The Company’s future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. The breach of any of the debt covenants could result in a default under the Company’s credit facility. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Company’s lender could make an immediate demand of the amount outstanding under the credit facility. If a default was to occur and such a demand was to be made, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assets would be sufficient to repay the indebtedness in full.

A stockholder could lose all or a portion of their investment in the Company.

The Company’s common stock has historically experienced a degree of price variability, and the price could be subject to rapid and substantial fluctuations. The Company’s common stock has also historically been thinly traded, a circumstance that exists when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders for the Company’s common stock at any given point in time. In such situations, a stockholder may be unable to liquidate his or her position in the Company’s common stock at the desired price. Also, as an equity investment, a stockholder’s investment in the Company is subordinate to the interests of the Company’s creditors, and a stockholder could lose all or a substantial portion of his or her investment in the Company in the event of a bankruptcy filing or liquidation.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Objective

The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide material information relevant to an assessment of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, as well as an evaluation of the amounts and certainty of cash flows from operations and from outside sources. This discussion and analysis is further intended to provide details concerning material events and uncertainties known to management that are reasonably likely to cause reported financial information to not be necessarily indicative of future operating results or future financial condition. This data includes descriptions and amounts of matters that have had a material impact on reported operations, as well as matters that management has assessed to be reasonably likely to have a material impact on future operations. Management intends that this discussion and analysis will enhance a reader’s understanding of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and capital resources. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Results of Operations

The following table contains results of operations for the fiscal years ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025 and the dollar and percentage changes for those periods (in thousands, except percentages).

Net Sales:

Sales decreased to $82.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2026, compared with $87.3 million in the fiscal year ended March 30, 2025, a decrease of $5.0 million, or 5.7%. Sales of bedding and diaper bags decreased by $6.1 million, and sales of bibs, toys and disposable products increased by $1.1 million. The decrease in sales of bedding and diaper bags is due to the decrease in the number of items included in programs at a major retailer, which was partially offset by an increase in the sales of bibs, toys and disposables. Sales were also negatively affected by inventory shortages resulting from the Company’s strategy to minimize the impact of increased tariffs in effect primarily during the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 29, 2026.

Gross Profit:

Gross profit decreased by $1.2 million from the prior year reflecting a margin of 24.4% of net sales for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2026 and March 29, 2025. The primary cause of this decrease in gross profit relates to increased tariff costs associated with products imported from China.

Marketing and Administrative Expenses:

Marketing and administrative expenses increased by $289 thousand and increased from 21.4% of net sales for fiscal year 2025 to 23.1% of net sales for fiscal year 2026. Advertising costs increased $467,000 from the prior year.

Other Income (Expense): 

Other income increased $2.6 million from the fiscal year ended March 30, 2025 to the fiscal year ended March 29, 2026. The increase is primarily due to $2.5 million, received during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, in proceeds from certain claims filed by the Company under a representations and warranties insurance policy (the “Insurance Proceeds”) purchased in connection with NoJo’s acquisition of substantially all of the assets, and assumed certain specified liabilities, of Baby Boom Consumer Products, Inc. (the “Acquisition”). The financial impact of the Insurance Proceeds, excluding certain legal and license related expenses, resulted in a net impact of $2.0 million to income before income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2026.

Income Tax Expense:

The Company’s provision for income taxes includes all currently payable federal and state taxes and is based upon the Company’s annual effective tax rate (“ETR”). The Company’s provision for income taxes for the fiscal years ended March 29, 2026 and March 30, 2025 are based upon an annual ETR of 30.1% and 24.6%, respectively. The increase in the ETR primarily relates to the result of tax credits that were included in the prior year provision that were not applicable in the current year provision and increase in state taxes due to jurisdictional nexus. The ETR was also impacted by discrete items such as the effects of tax shortfalls and excess tax benefits arising from the forfeiture and expiration of stock options and the vesting of non-vested stock.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

The Company’s financial results are closely tied to sales to the Company’s top two customers, which represented approximately 57% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2026. A significant downturn experienced by either or both of these customers could lead to decreased sales.

During the fiscal year, consumers responded to macroeconomic conditions by trading down to lower priced items, buying fewer items, or foregoing some items altogether due to inflationary concerns. The Company monitors the impact of inflation on its operations on an ongoing basis and may need to adjust its prices to mitigate the impact of changes to the rate of inflation in future periods. Future volatility of prices could affect consumer purchases of the Company’s products. Additionally, the impact of inflation on input and other operational costs could adversely affect the Company's financial results.

The Company primarily sources products from foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. The U.S. government has tariffs on imports from certain countries, including China. During 2025, the U.S. government increased tariffs which increased the cost of the products the Company sources from China and affected shipments from the Company’s Chinese-based suppliers. The Company was not able to timely pass along to its customers all increases in tariffs and freight charges, and any further alterations the Company may make to its business strategy or operations to adapt to the foregoing will be time-consuming and expensive. The full impact of the new tariffs may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flow, results of operations and financial condition. Some of these tariffs, the IEEPA tariffs, were recently deemed illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued on February 20, 2026. In April 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection launched CAPE, a platform for importers of record to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests. The Company has evaluated its eligibility, is complying with all applicable refund procedures and has submitted its eligible entries. The ultimate availability, timing and amount of any potential refunds of such tariffs are highly uncertain and are subject to further legal, regulatory and administrative developments. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the tariffs, and their potential refund, on imports from China to the Company’s business and financial condition.

For an additional discussion of trends, uncertainties and other factors that could impact the Company’s operating results, refer to “Risk Factors” in Item 1A, Part I. of this Annual Report.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $9.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2025 to $8.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2026. The decrease in the current year was the result of an increase in inventories in the current year that was $4.5 million greater than the decrease in the prior year, and a decrease of $3.4 million in accrued liabilities from the prior year to the current year. The decrease in the current year was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable balances that was $4.0 million greater than the decrease in the prior year.

Net cash used in investing activities was $864 thousand in the fiscal year ended March 29, 2026 compared with $17.2 million in the fiscal year ended March 30, 2025. The decrease in the current year was primarily due to the $16.3 million payment that was made in the prior year for the Acquisition.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.1 million in the fiscal year ended March 30, 2025 compared with $7.7 million in cash used in financing activities in the fiscal year ended March 29, 2026. The decrease was due to the issuance of indebtedness pursuant to an $8.0 million term loan under a financing agreement with The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. (“CIT”) in a prior year as well as the Company repaying debt in the current year.

The Company’s future performance is, to a certain extent, subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control. Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes that its cash flow from operations and the availability on its revolving line of credit will be adequate to meet its liquidity needs.

The Company’s credit facility at March 29, 2026 includes a revolving line of credit and a term loan of $8.0 million under a financing agreement with CIT. The Company may borrow up to $40 million under the revolving line of credit, which includes a $1.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit, bearing interest at prime minus 0.5% or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.6%, and is secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company. At March 29, 2026, the Company had elected to pay interest on balances owed under the revolving line of credit, if any, under the SOFR option, which was 5.2%. The financing agreement also provides for the payment by CIT to the Company of interest at prime as of the beginning of the calendar month minus 2.0% on daily negative balances, if any, held at CIT.                                    

As of March 29, 2026, there was a balance of $9.5 million owed on the revolving line of credit, there was no letter of credit outstanding and $12.5 million was available under the revolving line of credit based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances. As of March 30, 2025, there was a balance of $11.9 million owed on the revolving line of credit, there was no letter of credit outstanding and $13.8 million was available under the revolving line of credit based on the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances.

On June 23, 2025, the Company and CIT amended the Company’s financing agreement with CIT to: (i) provide that, until the Company’s term loan is paid in full, the Company shall maintain at all times Excess Availability (as defined in the financing agreement) equal to or the greater of (a) the sum of the balance outstanding under the Company’s term loan plus $1,000,000 or (b) $4,000,000 (the “Availability Covenant”); and (ii) reinstate the fixed charge coverage ratio; provided however, that the fixed charge coverage ratio shall not be tested at any fiscal quarter end in which, during the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the Company at all times has been in compliance with the Availability Covenant.  As of March 29, 2026, the Company has complied with the Excess Availability requirements.

To reduce its exposure to credit losses, the Company assigns the majority of its trade accounts receivable to CIT pursuant to factoring agreements, which have expiration dates that are coterminous with that of the financing agreement described below. Under the terms of the factoring agreements, CIT remits customer payments to the Company as such payments are received by CIT.

CIT bears credit losses with respect to assigned accounts receivable from approved shipments, while the Company bears the responsibility for adjustments from customers related to returns, allowances, claims and discounts. CIT may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer. If such a termination or limitation occurs, the Company either assumes (and may seek to mitigate) the credit risk for shipments to the customer after the date of such termination or limitation or discontinues shipments to the customer. Factoring fees, which are included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, were $335,000 and $386,000 during fiscal years 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) as promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). References herein to GAAP are to topics within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “FASB ASC”), which the FASB periodically revises through the issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) and which has been established by the FASB as the authoritative source for GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated balance sheets and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The policies below, while not inclusive of all of the Company's accounting policies, set forth those accounting policies which the Company's management believes embody the most significant judgments due to the uncertainties affecting their application and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

Allowances Against Accounts Receivable: The Company estimates certain allowances from revenues recognized through sales made to its customers. These allowances include anticipated returns and claims, expected credit losses, cooperative advertising allowances, warehouse allowances, placement fees, volume rebates, coupons, and discounts.

The allowance for anticipated returns and claims is estimated based upon the Company’s historical experience with actual returns and claims, combined with the consideration of events that could result in a change from historical rates on a per-customer basis. The allowance for anticipated returns and claims is recorded as a reduction of net sales in the reporting period within which the related sales are recorded.

To reduce the Company’s exposure to expected credit losses, and to enhance the predictability of its cash flows, the Company assigns the majority of its receivables under factoring agreements with CIT. In the event that a factored receivable becomes uncollectible due to creditworthiness, CIT bears the risk of loss. With respect to the receivables that are not assigned under factoring agreements with CIT, the Company addresses this credit risk by establishing an allowance that is intended to represent the Company’s best estimate of the expected credit losses for such receivables. In the development of this estimate, the Company makes a number of judgements utilizing the Current Expected Credit Losses methodology, which requires the Company to estimate lifetime expected credit losses by specifically analyzing the receivables. This analysis incorporates an aging of the receivables, relevant payment history and historical loss experience, as well as the consideration of customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, negotiated changes to the payment terms of customers, recent economic trends, and expectations regarding economic conditions over a reasonable and supportable future period. The allowance for expected credit losses is included in marketing and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The allowance for cooperative advertising, warehouse allowances, placement fees, volume rebates, coupons and discounts is recorded commensurate with sales activity or using the straight-line method, as appropriate. The majority of the Company’s allowances for such chargebacks occurs on a per invoice basis. The Company analyzes the components of the allowances for customer chargebacks monthly and adjusts the allowances to appropriate levels. Since allowances associated with cooperative advertising are accrued commensurate with sales activity or using the straight-line method, as appropriate, the timing of funding requests for cooperative advertising may result in fluctuations in the allowance from period to period, although such timing should not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of operations. The allowance for cooperative advertising is included in marketing and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. All other allowances for chargebacks related to warehouse allowances, placement fees, volume rebates, coupons and discounts are recorded as a reduction of net sales in the reporting period within which the related sales are recorded.

The Company’s actual experience associated with its allowances against accounts receivable in a future period may differ from the judgements, estimates, analysis and considerations employed in the development of these allowances. Thus, the Company’s allowances against accounts receivable at any point in time may be over-funded or under-funded.

Inventory Valuation: On a periodic basis, management reviews its inventory quantities on hand for obsolescence, physical deterioration, changes in price levels and the existence of quantities on hand which may not reasonably be expected to be sold within the Company’s normal operating cycle. To the extent that any of these conditions is believed to exist or the market value of the inventory expected to be realized in the ordinary course of business is no longer as great as its carrying value, an allowance against the inventory value is established. To the extent that this allowance is established or increased during an accounting period, an expense is recorded in cost of products sold in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Only when inventory for which an allowance has been established is later sold or is otherwise disposed is the allowance reduced accordingly. Significant management judgment is required in determining the amount and adequacy of this allowance. In the event that actual results differ from management's estimates or these estimates and judgments are revised in future periods, the Company may not fully realize the carrying value of its inventory or may need to establish additional allowances, either of which could materially impact the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Goodwill: The Company measures for impairment of goodwill within its reporting units annually as of the first day of the Company’s fiscal year. An additional interim measurement for impairment is performed during the year whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that suggests that the fair value of either of the reporting units of the Company has more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of greater than 50%) fallen below its carrying value. The annual or interim measurement for impairment is performed by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If such qualitative factors so indicate, then the measurement for impairment is continued by calculating an estimate of the fair value of each reporting unit and comparing the estimated fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, then an impairment charge is calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its estimated fair value, not to exceed the goodwill of the reporting unit.

Business Combinations: The Company accounts for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. An acquisition is accounted for as a purchase and the appropriate account balances and operating activities are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date and thereafter. Assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests, if any, are measured at fair value as of the acquisition date using the appropriate valuation method. The Company may engage an independent third party to assist with these measurements. Goodwill resulting from an acquisition is recognized for the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets, less the liabilities assumed. In determining the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets and any noncontrolling interests, the Company uses various valuation techniques, including the income approach, the cost approach and the market approach. These valuation methods require significant management judgement to make estimates and assumptions surrounding projected revenues and costs, growth rates and discount rates. In the event that actual results differ from management’s estimates, the Company may need to recognize an impairment to all or a portion of the carrying value of these assets in a future period, which could materially impact the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For a detailed discussion of market risk and other factors that could impact the Company’s operating results, refer to “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. of Part I. of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 29, 2026, the Company had $14.1 million of indebtedness that bears interest at a variable rate, comprised of borrowings under the revolving line of credit and a term loan. Based upon this level of outstanding debt, the Company’s annual net income would decrease by approximately $99 thousand for each increase of one percentage point in the interest rate applicable to the debt.

Commodity Rate Risk

The Company sources its products primarily from foreign contract manufacturers, with the largest concentration being in China. The Company’s exposure to commodity price risk primarily relates to changes in the prices in China of cotton, oil and labor, which are the principal inputs used in a substantial number of the Company’s products. In addition, although the Company pays its Chinese suppliers in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of the rate of the Chinese currency versus the U.S. dollar could result in an increase in the cost of the Company’s finished goods. There is no assurance that the Company could timely respond to such increases by proportionately increasing the prices at which its products are sold to the Company’s customers.

Market Concentration Risk

The Company’s financial results are closely tied to sales to its top two customers, which represented approximately 57% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2026. In addition, 52% of the Company’s gross sales in fiscal year 2026 consisted of licensed products, which included 23% of gross sales associated with the Company’s license agreements with affiliated companies of Disney. The Company’s results could be materially impacted by the loss of one or more of these licenses.

The U.S. administration has implemented additional 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 was not able to pass along to its customers all increases in tariffs and freight charges, and alterations the Company made to its business strategy and operations to adapt to the foregoing, including sourcing products from suppliers in other countries, was time consuming and expensive.

The U.S. government has tariffs on imports from certain countries, including China. During 2025, the U.S. government increased tariffs which increased the cost of the products the Company sources from China and affected shipments from the Company’s Chinese-based suppliers. Some of these tariffs, the IEEPA tariffs, were recently deemed illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued on February 20, 2026. The Company incurred approximately $5.3 million and $267 thousand of IEEPA tariffs during fiscal year 2026 and 2025, respectively. In April 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection launched CAPE, a platform for importers of record to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests. The Company has evaluated its eligibility to submit IEEPA tariff refund requests, is complying with all applicable refund procedures and has submitted its eligible entries. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the tariffs and its potential refunds on imports from China to the Company’s business and financial condition. While certain legal developments have indicated that refunds may be available, significant uncertainty remains regarding the ultimate availability, timing, and amount of any recoveries. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a receivable as of March 29, 2026. The Company will continue to monitor developments and will recognize any recovery when realization becomes probable. As of June 17, 2026, the Company has received $0.2 million in IEEPA refunds.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on our evaluation and taking into account the remediation of the previously identified material weakness discussed below, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule(s) 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of March 29, 2026.         

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). At March 29, 2026, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the assessment, management determined that the internal control over financial reporting at March 29, 2026, was effective.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company’s internal control system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and the Board regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only a reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the Company’s financial statements are free of any material misstatement, whether caused by error or fraud.

As a non-accelerated filer and a “smaller reporting company”, the Company is exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a result, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited or issued an attestation report with respect to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 29, 2026.

On July 19, 2024, we completed the acquisition of Baby Boom. As permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines, management excluded Baby Boom from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of March 30, 2025. During the fiscal year ended March 29, 2026, we successfully integrated Baby Boom into our existing control structure and internal control over financial reporting environment. As a result of this integration, the operations of Baby Boom, are now included in management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of March 29, 2026.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As previously reported in 2025, our management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to review and approval of manual journal entries.

Remediation Status

Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee, implemented remediation measures to improve the internal control structure. Specifically, the Company has implemented processes and controls including:

Management has completed the implementation of these remedial measures and, based on testing of the design and operating effectiveness of the remediated controls, concluded that the previously identified material weakness was remediated as of March 29, 2026.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Other than the changes noted above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended March 29, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
