Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

●cybersecurity or data security breaches such as the synergies thathacking attack we expectdisclosed in May 2023, the improper disclosure of confidential, personal or proprietary data and changes to experience resulting fromlaws and regulations governing cybersecurity and data privacy, including any related costs, fines or lawsuits, and our ability to continue ongoing operations and safeguard the Appliances Connection Acquisition (as defined below);integrity of our information technology infrastructure, data, and employee, customer and vendor information;

●the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on our operations and financial condition;

●the effect of supply chain delays and disruptions on our operations and financial condition;

●our goals and strategies;

●the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures that, if not corrected, could affect the reliability of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and have other adverse consequences such as a failure to meet reporting obligations;

●our future business development, financial condition and results of operations;

These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results.

The information included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. Furthermore, interim results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2022September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 20222023 or future periods.

NOTE 2—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. This pronouncement was amended under ASU 2019-10 to allow an extension on the adoption date for entities that qualify as a small reporting company. The Company has elected this extension and the effective date for the Company to adopt this standard will be for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company hasadopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The Company’s adoption of this update did not completed its assessment of the standard but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our unaudited condensedthe consolidated financial statements.statements and related disclosures.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU amends ASC 805 to require acquiring entities to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in business combinations. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not completed its assessment of the standard but does not expect the adoption to have a material impactadopted this guidance on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

January 1, 2023. The Company has evaluated all other recent accounting pronouncements and determined that theCompany’s adoption of pronouncements applicable to the Company hasthis update did not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, resultsstatements and related disclosures.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and Vintage Disclosures (Topic 326): Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This amended guidance will eliminate the accounting designation of operations or cash flows.a loan modification as a TDR, including eliminating the measurement guidance for TDRs. The amendments also enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Additionally, this guidance requires entities to disclose gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables, such as loans and interest receivable. The ASU is effective January 1, 2023, and is required to be applied prospectively, except for the recognition and measurement of TDRs which can be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The Company’s adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 3—LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN ASSESSMENT

Management assesses liquidity and going concern uncertainty in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.

As of MarchSeptember 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.8 million, restricted cash of $5.4 million, and vendor deposits of $30.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred an operating loss of $5.8 million (including $3.2 million in non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization), cash flows used in operations of $0.4 million, and working capital of $15.9 million. As of December 31, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25.8$19.6 million, and restricted cash of $2.6$1.0 million, and vendor deposits of $25 million, and total working capital of $25.9 million. For the three monthsyear ended MarchDecember 31, 2022, the Company incurred an operating incomeloss of approximately $10.1$134.4 million (including $11.5 million in non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization, as well as an impairment charge of $109.1 million), and cash flows used in operations of $3.7 million,$46.7 million.

The Company performed an assessment to determine whether there were conditions or events that, considered in the aggregate, raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the filing date of this report, when the accompanying financial statements are being issued. Initially, this assessment did not consider the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that had not been fully implemented.

Based on the initial assessment, substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Management then assessed the mitigating effect of its plans to determine if it is probable that the plans (1) would be effectively implemented within one year after the filing date of this report, when the accompanying financial statements are being issued and working capital of $24.9 million.(2) when implemented, would mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

As discussed below, the Company has implemented plans which encompass short-term cash preservation initiatives to provide the Company with adequate liquidity to meet its obligations for at least the 12-month period following the date its financial statements are issued, in addition to creating sustained cash flow generation thereafter. The Company has either taken or intends to take, the following actions, among others, to improve its liquidity position and to address uncertainty about its ability to continue as a going concern:

●As described in Note 8, the Company entered into a loan amendment of their term loan and revolver loan agreement with Bank of America, granting the Company a waiver (relating to the specified events of default) through November 2024.

●We are taking concrete steps to improve efficiency and profitability through headcount reductions and consolidation of operations including the closing of one warehouse and the imminent relocation to a new warehouse increasing the efficiency of warehouse operations and reduction of product damage.

●We hired an internationally recognized firm of digital advertising consultants to help us improve our return on advertising spend. This firm provided us the tools needed to improve future digital marketing results which we are now beginning to deploy.

●We are implementing new financing initiatives for our customers, including a new store-branded credit card and a leasing alternative for customers who do not qualify for conventional credit.

●We have changed our sales focus to emphasizing the sale of high-margin luxury products, in addition to mass-market appliances, began becoming dealers for higher-margin small appliances and promoting them on our website, and have begun actively negotiating improved terms with several of our largest appliance vendors.

Management has prepared estimates of operations for fiscal years 20222023 and 20232024 and believes that sufficient funds will be generated from operations to fund its operations, and to service its debt obligations for one year from the date of the filing of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The impact of COVID-19 onstatements in the Company’s business has been considered in these assumptions; however, with new COVID variants still in place it might be too early to know the full impact of COVID-19 or its timing on a return to more normal operations.

10-Q. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which the Company is expected to be able to realize its assets and satisfy its liabilities in the normal course of business. Management believes that based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable that its forecasts, for one year from the date of the filing of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, indicate improved operations and the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern.

NOTE 4—DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUES

The Company sells a vast assortment of household appliances, including refrigerators, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, freezers, washers and dryers. In addition to appliances, we also offer a broad assortment of products in the furniture, décor, bed & bath, lighting, outdoor living, electronics categories, fitness equipment, plumbing fixtures, air conditioners, fireplaces, fans, dehumidifiers, humidifiers, air purifiers and televisions.

Revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Each customer order generally contains only one performance obligation based on the merchandise sale to be delivered, at which time revenue is recognized.

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by product type, as it believes it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

The Company’s disaggregated revenue by product type is as follows (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings

At the Company’s annual meeting on December 21, 2021, the stockholders were asked to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated July 30, 2020 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock” and such proposal, the “Share Increase Proposal”) by 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock. As reported in a Form 8-K filing on December 28, 2021, the Share Increase Proposal was adopted and a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation setting forth the amendment adopted pursuant to the Share Increase Proposal (the “Certificate of Amendment”) was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”). To date, none of these newly authorized shares has actually been issued.

Three purported beneficial owners of Common Stock subsequently expressed concerns about a statement in the Company’s proxy statement related to the Share Increase Proposal, specifically questioning, in light of the proxy statement, the ability of brokerage firms and other custodians to vote shares of Common Stock held by them for the benefit of their customers in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owners. Based on an examination of the situation performed following receipt of these demands, the Company believes that the vote at the annual meeting was properly tabulated and that the proposed amendment was properly adopted in accordance with Delaware law. In light of the demands, however, and to ensure against any future question as to the validity of these newly authorized shares, the Company elected to seek validation of its Certificate of Amendment through a Petition to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “205 Petition”). The action, styled In re 1847 Goedeker Inc., C.A. 2022-0219-SG seeks(the “Action”), sought entry by the Court of Chancery of an order validating and declaring effective the Certificate of Amendment, and validating the additional shares of Common Stock authorized under the Share Increase Proposal.

Recent Developments

NewAmendment of Bank of America Credit Agreement

 

On May 9, 2022, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) by and amongJuly 25, 2023, the Company and ACI, as borrowers, certain of our subsidiaries as guarantors, each of the lenders identified therein (the “Lenders”) and Bank of America N.A., as administrative agent, swingline lender and letter of credit issueramended the Credit Agreement (the “Agent”“First Amendment”), pursuantin part, to require the Company maintain liquidity, which includes cash and certain qualifying customer and credit card account receivables, of $8.0 million. The Company and Bank of America amended the Credit Agreement on November 20, 2023 (the “Second Amendment”), which requires the Company to establish a Bank of America cash collateral account where cash and cash equivalents deposited in the cash collateral account do not constitute Liquidity for purposes of the Credit Agreement. Further, the Second Amendment requires that (i) at least $3.0 million of Liquidity be comprised of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and (ii) more than $5.0 million of Liquidity be comprised of certain qualifying customer and credit card accounts receivable.

The Term Loan and the New Revolving Loan will bear interest on the “New Loans”)unpaid principal amount thereof as follows: (i) if it is a loan bearing interest at a rate determined by the Base Rate, then at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for such loan and (ii) if it is a $2,000,000 letterloan bearing interest at a rate determined by Term SOFR, then at Term SOFR plus the Applicable Rate for such loan. The Company may elect to continue or convert the existing interest rate benchmark for the Term Loan from Term SOFR to Base Rate, and may elect the interest rate benchmark for future revolving loans as either Term SOFR or Base Rate (and, with respect to any loan made using Term SOFR, may also select the interest period applicable to any such loan), by notifying the Agent and the Lenders from time to time in accordance with the provisions of credit subfacility,the Amendment and Credit Agreement. The Applicable Rate increased from a high of 1.95% and 0.95%, respectively, for Term SOFR and Base Rate in the Credit Agreement to 4.00% for each case,of Term SOFR and Base Rate as a result of the Amendment. Interest is payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, following an event of default, the loans under the Credit Facilities will bear interest at a rate that is 2% per annum higher than the interest rate then in effect for the applicable loan.

Concurrent with closing of the Bank of America loan, the Company purchased a fixed rate loan swap (See Note 9) capping its interest rate at 2.9%, plus applicable margins.


Commencing on December 31, 2023, through and including January 31, 2024, the Borrowers must repay the principal amount of the Term Loan in installments of $937,500, and quarterly installments of $1,875,000 each, payable on the last business day of each March, June, September and December.

Mandatory prepayments of Revolving Loans are required if the amount borrowed at any time exceeds the commitment amount. The Company may voluntarily prepay the Loans from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, and will be required to prepay the Loans under certain limited circumstances as set forth in the Credit Agreement, including upon receipt of cash proceeds in connection with certain specified asset sales, receipt of loss or condemnation proceeds or other cash proceeds received other than in the ordinary course of business or upon receipt of cash proceeds from the incurrence of indebtedness that is not permitted under the Credit Agreement, all as more specifically set forth in the Credit Agreement. The New Loans may from time to time be further evidenced by separate promissory notes issued by the borrowers. On May 9, 2022, we borrowed the entire amount of the New Term Loan, but no New Revolving Loans have been made as of May 16, 2022.

The proceeds of the New Term Loan were applied, among other uses, to prepay the obligations in full under the Company’s existing M&T Credit Agreement (as defined below).

New HeadquartersAs a result of the reduced term, the Company has begun discussions with investment bankers to place financing to replace the existing credit agreement by August 31, 2024.

We have transitioned our corporate headquarters to our office space and showroom in Brooklyn, New York. On March 15, 2022, we entered into a lease agreement with 8780 19 Ave LLC, a related party, for additional office space in Brooklyn to expand our headquarter office, currently located in the adjacent building, as we continue scaling our business and consolidating our corporate functions in Brooklyn. The lease expires on December 31, 2026, with an option to extend for an additional five years thereafter.Reverse Stock Split

Share Repurchase Plan

On December 17, 2021, weOctober 19, 2023, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Certificate of Amendment to affect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s common stock at an exchange ratio of 1 for 50, which was approved a newby the board of directors. The Reverse Split was effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on October 20, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, every 50 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were automatically converted into one share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $25.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock, without any change in the open market, in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 ofpar value per share. In addition, proportionate adjustments were made to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our decision to repurchase shares, as well as the timing of such repurchases, will depend on a variety of factors that include ongoing assessments of our capital needs, obtaining requisite senior lender consent, market conditionsper share exercise price and the pricenumber of ourshares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of common stock and other corporate considerations, as determined by our management. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of March 31, 2022, no shares have been repurchased.


Ongoing Impact of Coronavirus Pandemic

We are continuing to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations and financial results. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and the full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on certain developments including the duration and severity of the pandemic, the emergence of new variants that may continue to prolong the pandemic, the amount of time it will take for normal economic activity to resume, future government actions that may be taken, the impact on consumer activity and behaviors and the effect on our customers, employees, suppliers, partners and stockholders, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Our focus remains on promoting the health, safety and financial security of our employees and serving our customers. We are dependent upon suppliers to provide us with all of the products that we sell. While the home industry has fared much better during the COVID-19 pandemic than other sectors of the economy, the pandemic has negatively impacted and may continue to negatively impact suppliers, manufacturers and the overall supply chain of our products. As a result, we have faced and may continue to face delays or difficulty sourcing certain products, which could negatively affect our business and financial results. Even if we are able to find alternate sources for such products, they may cost more, which could adversely impact our profitability and financial condition.

The global deterioration in economic conditions, which may have an adverse impact on discretionary consumer spending, could also impact our business. For instance, consumer spending may be negatively impacted by general macroeconomic conditions, including a rise in unemployment, increased inflation, and decreased consumer confidence resulting from the pandemic and other economic conditions. Changing consumer behaviorscreated as a result of the pandemic may also haveReverse Split will be entitled to receive a material impactcash payment in lieu thereof equal to the fractional share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing sales price of a share of common stock on our revenue.October 19, 2023, as adjusted for the Reverse Split.

As the COVID-19 pandemic remains dynamic and subject to rapid and possibly material change, we will continue to actively monitor the COVID-19 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, partners, stockholders and communities. We cannot predict with any certainty whether and to what degree the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and reactions thereto will continue, and we expect to face difficulty in accurately forecasting our financial condition and operational results. See also Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information.

Trends and Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

●our ability to acquire new customers or retain existing customers, including those shopping online as a result of COVID-19;

●our ability to offer competitive product pricing;

●our ability to broaden product offerings;

●industry demand and competition;

●market conditions and our market position; and

●our ability to successfully integrate the operations of Appliances Connection with our business.

 

Notably, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated supply chain crisis, our freight costs have increased materially as a proportion of sales, putting downward pressure on our gross margins. While our historical freight costs as a percentage of sales decreased from 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to 9.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as we brought efficiencies to our pre-Appliances Connection Acquisition fulfillment operations, on a consolidated proforma basis, our freight costs as a percentage of sales increased 220 basis points from the first quarter of 2021. Recent increases in the fuel costs are putting additional downward pressure on our gross margins. Management believes that these trends are temporary in nature, and our margins will continue improving as supply chain stabilizes and fuel costs return back to normal.

Supply chain constraints also impacted our order fulfillment timing, further amplifying order cancellations and refunds caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.


 

Factors Affecting Comparability of Our Future Results of Operations to Our Historical Results of Operations

The comparability of our results of operations between the periods discussed below is affected by the acquisitions we have completed during such periods. We may also evaluate and pursue acquisitions in the future, and such acquisitions, if completed, will continue to impact the comparability of our financial results. Our acquisitions may have materially different characteristics than our historical results, and such differences in economics may impact the comparability of our future results of operations to our historical results.

●On June 2, 2021, we completed the Appliances Connection Acquisition.

●On July 29, 2021, we completed the AC Gallery Acquisition.

The Company accounted for the above acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 “Business Combinations.” In accordance with ASC 805, the Company used its best estimates and assumptions to assign fair value to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

Our product sales were $152.8$77.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022,September 30, 2023, as compared to $13.7$143.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,September 30, 2022, a decrease of $65.7 million, or 45.8%. The decrease in sales is attributable to several factors including a general slowdown in the economy, inflation, an increase in interest rates which affects the mass market, housing and the remodeling business. Also, in 2023, the Company emphasized higher-margin sales instead of pursuing a policy of revenue growth with less emphasis on profitability.

Cost of goods sold. Our costs of goods sold are comprised of product costs and freight costs. Product costs represent the amount we pay the manufacturer for their product. We negotiate special terms and pricing with the manufacturer, which are generally based on the number of products we purchase. Periodically, manufacturers offer special pricing for purchasing a certain volume of products at one time. Funding might also be offered to support our marketing and advertising efforts. Freight is the cost of delivering products to customers. Our cost of goods sold was $62.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $122.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $59.9 million, or 48.9%. The decrease is related to reduced sales for the three months ended September 30, 2023.


Gross profit and gross margin.

Our gross margin (gross profit as a percentage of net sales) was 19.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 14.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The improvement in the gross profit percentage is the result of management’s emphasis on profitability as opposed to revenue growth.

Personnel expenses. Personnel expenses include employee salaries and bonuses plus related payroll taxes. It also includes health insurance premiums, training costs and stock compensation expense. Our personnel expenses were $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 29.6%. As a percentage of net sales, personnel expenses were 7.5% and 5.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In the current quarter, we affected a reduction in force to align headcount to declines in revenue. As a result, personnel costs include $0.2 million of severance costs.

Advertising expenses. Advertising expenses include the cost of marketing our products and primarily include online search engine expenses. Our advertising expenses were $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 32.8%. As a percentage of net sales, advertising expenses were 6.5% and 5.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

As a percentage of net sales, bank and credit card fees were 3.3% and 4.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Bank and credit card fees are based on customer orders that are paid with a credit card (substantially all orders), so the decrease was largely due to the decline in sales.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $1.1 million, or 1.4% of net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $2.9 million, or 2.0% of net sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease is the result of the 2022 impairment charge that reduced the amount of intangible assets to be amortized.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional advisor fees, rent expense, insurance, and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our general and administrative expenses were $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 7.1%. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses were 8.7% and 5.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2022,September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25.8$15.2 million andincluding restricted cash of $2.6$5.4 million. For the threenine months ended March 31, 2022,September 30, 2023, we had an operating incomeloss of approximately $10.1$8.4 million, cash flows used in operations of $3.7$0.4 million and working capital of $24.9$15.9 million. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, we had an operating loss of $128.3 million (including a non-cash impairment charge of $109.1 million), cash used in operations of $46.7 million, cash and cash equivalents of $25.7$20.5 million andincluding restricted cash of $8.1$0.95 million and working capital of $16.0$25.9 million.

On May 9, 2022, we entered into the New Credit Agreement, borrowed the full amount of the $100 million New Term Loan and used $55.9 million of the proceeds to pay off the M&T Credit Agreement in full. As of May 16, 2022, we have not borrowed any additional funds under $40 million New Revolving Loan available under the New Credit Agreement.

We have previously generated significant losses since our acquisition of Goedeker Television and have relied on cash on hand, external bank lines of credit, proceeds from public offerings, issuance of third-party and related-party debt and the issuance of a note to support cashflow from operations. Notably, we reported positive cash flow from operations in 2020 as money was collected from the customers at the time orders were placed, instead of the time orders were shipped, leading to accumulation of customer deposits. On June 2, 2021, we acquired Appliances Connection, which historicallyManagement has been a profitable company with strong operating cash flow; however due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and resulting supply chain constraints, we refunded to customers $34.0 million in customer deposits throughout 2021, $27.4 million of which was due to order cancellations, leading to a negative operating cash flow in 2021. At this point we have been able to clear the majority of the historical customer deposit balances, and based on current facts and circumstances, we believe that we will have adequate cash flow from operations, external bank lines of credit, and proceeds from any future issuances of debt or equity to fund operations and service debt obligations for at least the next twelve months.

We may, however, in the future require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

We assess liquidity and going concern uncertainty in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there are sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, we will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, our ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and our ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, we make certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent we deem probable those implementations can be achieved and we have the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.


We have prepared estimates of operations for fiscal years 2022 and 2023 and believe2024 and believes that sufficient funds will be generated from operations to fund ourits operations, and to service ourits debt obligations for one year from the date of the filing of this report. We have considered the impact of COVID-19 on our business in these assumptions; however, it is too early to know the full impact of COVID-19 or its timing on a return to more normal operations.unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which we arethe Company is expected to be able to realize ourits assets and satisfy ourits liabilities in the normal course of business. We believe,Management believes that based on relevant conditions and events that are known and reasonably knowable that ourits forecasts, for one year from the date of the filing of this report,these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, indicate improved operations and ourthe Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. See Note 3 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, “Liquidity and Going Concern Assessment.”

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Management, with the participation of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022.September 30, 2023.

Based on the evaluation performed as of March 31, 2022,September 30, 2023, as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that are described below, and as further described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on MarchJuly 31, 2022,2023, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date.


 

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has determined that the Company’s ineffective internal control over financial reporting and resulting material weaknesses, stem primarily from management’s inability to maintain appropriately designed controls, which impacts the control environment, risk assessment procedures and ability to detect or prevent material misstatements to the financial statements. The material weaknesses were attributed to:

●Lack of structure and responsibility, insufficient number of qualified resources and inadequate oversight and accountability over the performance of controls;

●Ineffective assessment and identification of changes in risk impacting internal control over financial reporting;

●Inadequate selection and development of effective control activities, general controls over technology and effective policies and procedures; and

●Ineffective evaluation and determination as to whether the components of internal control were present and functioning.functioning; and

●The lack of an accounting system that is required for a company or our size.

Management’s Remediation Plans

Management is actively engaged in the implementation of remediation plans to address the controls contributing to the material weaknesses. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, theThe Company has taken, and continues to take, the following remediation actions:

●Enhance reporting structure and increase the number of qualified resources in roles over internal control over financial reporting;

●Establish formal risk assessment procedures to identify and monitor changes in the organization that could have an impact on internal control over financial reporting; and

●Develop and document policies and procedures, including related business process and technology controls, assess their effectiveness and establish a program for continuous assessment of their effectiveness.effectiveness; and

●Implementation of a new ERP

We believe these measures will remediate the control deficiencies, but management is assessing the need for any additional steps to remediate the underlying causes that give rise to these material weaknesses. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. There is no assurance that additional remediation steps will not be necessary.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Except as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2022September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Based on an examination of the situation performed following receipt of these demands, the Company believes that the vote at the annual meeting was properly tabulated and that the proposed amendment was properly adopted in accordance with Delaware law. In light of the demands, however, and to ensure against any future question as to the validity of these newly authorized shares, the Company elected to seek validation of its Certificate of Amendment through a Petition to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “205 Petition”), dated as of March 9, 2022.. The action, styled In re 1847 Goedeker Inc., C.A. 2022-0219-SG seeks(the “Action”), sought entry by the Court of Chancery of an order validating and declaring effective the Certificate of Amendment, and validating the additional shares of Common Stock authorized under the Share Increase Proposal.

Shortly beforeTwo purported stockholders objected to the 205 PetitionPetition. One such objecting, purported stockholder (the “Stockholder Plaintiff”) filed his own lawsuit (which was filed, one ofthen consolidated with the purported stockholders who had submitted a demand related to adoption of the Share Increase Proposal also filed a Class Action Complaint in the Court of Chancery against the Company205 Petition) requesting that such relief not be granted and its Board of Directors on March 1, 2022. That lawsuit, captioned Scot T. Boden v. 1847 Goedeker Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2022-0196-SG (the “Boden Action”), assertsasserting two claims for relief. Therelief: first, is against the Company for alleged violation of the Delaware General Corporation Law Section 225(b) for improper tabulation of the stockholder vote on the Share Increase Proposal. TheProposal; and second, assertsasserting that the Company’s directors breached their fiduciary duties by incorrectly tabulating the stockholder vote, and by causing a purportedly invalid amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Boden Action has been consolidatedCourt of Chancery held a hearing on May 27, 2022, to consider the Company’s motion for entry of an order under Section 205 and subsequently entered an order denying the motion without prejudice on September 30, 2022. On July 7, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction with the 205 Petition;Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, voiding the Charter Amendment and for reasons set out incausing the 205 Petition,number of authorized shares of Common Stock to remain at 200,000,000.

On June 12, 2023, the Company and its directors believe the Boden Actionsubmitted to be without merit and intend to defend the claims. Mr. Boden and a second purported stockholder, Robert Corwin, have both filed briefs opposing the 205 Petition. Under a scheduling order issued by the Court of Chancery on May 6, 2022,a Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Regarding Notice and Closing of the Case regarding the Action (the “Dismissal Order”).

Pursuant to Court of Chancery Rules 23(e) and 41(a), the parties to the Action stipulated to voluntary dismissal of the Action with prejudice as to the Stockholder Plaintiff and without prejudice as to any actual or potential claims of any other members of the putative class, and such dismissal was granted by the Court on June 13, 2023. As stipulated in the Dismissal Order, the Company paid the Attorneys’ Fees to the stockholders’ counsel on June 28, 2023 and such payment fully satisfied and resolved the stockholders’ and the stockholders’ counsel’s entitlement to any fees or expenses in the Action.

From time to time, we may be subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. All other litigation currently pending against the Company relates to matters that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and we believe that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report include the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on MarchJuly 31, 2022.2023. Any of those factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on MarchJuly 31, 2022, except for the below risk factors.2023. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Increasing tensions between the United States and Russia, and other effects of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, could negatively impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

While we do not operate in Russia or Ukraine, the increasing tensions between the United States and Russia and the other effects of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, have resulted in many broader economic impacts such as the United States imposing sanctions, bans against Russia and Russian products imported into the United States, and disruption of the production and delivery of products and parts from Ukraine and Russia. Such sanctions, bans and disruptions have affected and may continue to affect commodity pricing such as fuel and energy costs, making it more expensive for us and our partners to deliver products to our customers. Further sanctions, bans, disruptions or other economic actions in response to or because the ongoing conflict in Ukraine could result in an increase in costs, further disruptions to our supply chain, and a lack of consumer confidence resulting in reduced demand. While the extent of such items is not presently known, any of them could negatively affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Numerous economic factors, including inflation, our exposure to the U.S. housing industry, and the potential for a decrease in consumer spending, could adversely affect us.

Economic conditions, including inflation and weakness in the U.S. housing industry, could decrease consumer discretionary spending and adversely affect our financial performance. Consumer prices have experienced their largest percentage increases since 1981, and interest rates have begun to increase. We believe that our sales of home-related products are affected by the strength of the U.S. housing industry. Downturns in the U.S. housing industry could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business, and prospects. Similarly, a substantial portion of the products and services we offer are products or services that consumers may view as discretionary items rather than necessities. As a result, our results of operations are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions that affect consumer spending, including discretionary spending. Difficult macroeconomic conditions also affect our customers' ability to obtain consumer credit. Other factors, including consumer confidence, employment levels, interest rates, tax rates, consumer debt levels, and fuel and energy costs could reduce consumer spending or change consumer purchasing habits. Slowdowns in the U.S. or global economy, or an uncertain economic outlook, could materially adversely affect consumer spending habits and could have a material adverse effect on our financial results, business, and prospects.
