EXPLANATORY NOTE
As described in Form 8K filed on January 29, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (the “Company”) and management, in consultation with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, EisnerAmper LLP, has concluded that the following previously issued consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company should no longer be relied upon due to misstatements contained in such financial statements:
i. | The audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019; | |
ii. | The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the interim periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, June 30, 2020 and 2019 and December 31, 2019 (the “Restated Periods”) |
The management of the Company has determined that in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606 section 10-32-26, the Company incorrectly accounted for the cost of cooperative (“co-op”) promotion allowances (previously referred to as “cooperative advertising”), as selling expenses instead of a reduction of the transaction prices recorded in net sales for each of the Restated Periods.
Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 606 section 10-32-26, if cooperative allowances payable to a customer is a payment for a distinct good or service from the customer, then an entity shall account for the purchase of the good or service in the same way that it accounts for other purchases from suppliers. If the amount of consideration payable to the customer exceeds the fair value of the distinct good or service that the entity receives from the customer, then the entity shall account for such an excess as a reduction of the transaction price. If the entity cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the good or service received from the customer, it shall account for all of the consideration payable to the customer as a reduction of the transaction price.
Effects of the Misstatements
The effects of this accounting error do not impact the consolidated balance sheets, statements of cash flows and statements of shareholders’ equity for any current or past reporting period. The effects are confined to the consolidated statements of operations, MD&A discussions, notes to consolidated financial statements, and management’s assessment of internal control of the Restated Periods. The net income or loss reported in the aforementioned reporting periods has not changed. The impact of this error on the audited consolidated financial statements is as follows:
● | For the three months ended June 30, 2020 reported net sales are reduced by $271,560, representing an approximate eight percent reduction. Total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as originally reported were $3,323,543 and will be restated to $3,051,983 reducing the gross profit percentage from 37.1% to 31.5%. Correspondingly, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 reported total operating expenses will be reduced by $271,560 representing a 14% reduction. Total operating expenses as originally reported of $2,004,950 will be restated to $1,733,390 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net loss of $206,804 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as previously reported, is not changed by these restatements. |
● | For the three months ended June 30, 2019 reported net sales are reduced by $168,802, representing an approximate four percent reduction. Total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as originally reported were $4,809,040 and will be restated to $4,640,238 reducing the gross profit percentage from 20.5% to 17.6%. Correspondingly, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 reported total operating expenses will be reduced by $168,802 representing an 8% reduction. Total operating expenses as originally reported of $2,089,810 will be restated to $1,921,008 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net loss of $869,581 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as previously reported, is not changed by these restatements. |
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
As a result of the misstatements, management also concluded that we had a material weakness in our control over financial reporting. For more information regarding management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, as well as the related remediation actions, refer to Item 4 “Controls and Procedures” in this Interim Report on Form 10-Q/A.
This Form 10-Q/A amends and restates the entire contents of the original Form 10-Q. The Part I portions of this Form 10-Q/A that have been revised to give effect to the restatements and matters related thereto are as follows:
● | Item 1. Financial Statements | |
● | Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations | |
● | Item 4. Controls and Procedures |
In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided new certifications dated as of the date of this filing in connection with this Form 10-Q/A Part II Item 6 Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.
Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Company’s Interim Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2020 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events that may have occurred after the date of the Original Filing or modify or update any disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events.
The Company will be amending the previous Form 10-K reports covering the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the Form 10-Q report covering the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the interim periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, through separate filings of Forms 10-K/A and 10-Q/A, respectively. The interim period covering December 31, 2019 will be restated in connection with our filing of the December 31, 2020 Form 10-Q.

THE SINGING MACHINE COMPANY, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
OVERVIEW
The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “SMC”, “The Singing Machine”) and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMC-L”) and SMC-Music, Inc.(“SMC-M”(“SMC- M”) are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio systems, accessories, musical instruments and musical recordings. The products are sold by SMC to retailers and distributors for resale to consumers.
NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITYRESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In August 2019, we received notificationThe Company has determined that in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from a major customer that several containersContract with Customers, the Company incorrectly accounted for the cost of goods from multiple vessels purchased direct import by the customer had arrived severely water damaged. Upon inspectionits co-op promotion allowances (previously referred to as “cooperative advertising”) with its customers as selling expenses instead of the damaged goods by insurance surveyors it was their opinion that the source of the damage was due to moisture in the pallets provided by the factory which caused significant condensation and consequently water damage to the merchandise. Actual damage to the goods occurred while the goods were in transit. We have filed insurance claims on our cargo insurance policy which does provide for recovery of the sales value plus additional expenses associated with the damaged goods. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the customer charged us back a total of approximately $48,000 for damaged goods consisting of sales value of approximately $46,000 which was recorded as a reduction in net sales for each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and approximately $2,000 in survey fees which were expensed2019, as these co-op promotion allowances are not a componentdistinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of generalthe benefit it receives from these arrangements.
The effects of this accounting error do not impact the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of cash flows and administrative expenses onstatements of shareholders’ equity. The effects are confined to the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Foroperations, and these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. The tables below set forth the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the customer charged us back a total of approximately $1,691,000 for damaged goods consisting of sales value of approximately $1,580,000 which was recorded as a reduction in net sales, approximately $109,000 in freight charges which were expensed as a component of sales and marketing expenses and approximately $2,000 in survey fees which were expensed as a component of general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Foroperations, including the threebalances as originally reported, adjustments and nine months ended December 31, 2019 we have incurred additional related expenses of approximately $127,000 and $346,000, respectively that were includedthe as a component of general and administrative expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. We continue to gather the relevant information required to complete the insurance claims, however due to the significant extentrestated balances for each of the damage more time will be required by the underwriter to determine the final claim settlement. As such, we have recorded a refund due to the customer of approximately $510,000 which reflects approximately $1,691,000 of chargebacks by the customer less approximately $1,181,000 the customer has deducted on payment remittances to the Company as of December 31, 2019. We recognized an insurance claim receivable of approximately $1,286,000 (the approximate cost of the damaged goods returned that will be destroyed) on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019. The timing of the collection of this insurance claim receivable remains uncertain at this time.periods affected:

NOTE 3 – LIQUIDITY
As of December 31, 2019 theThe Company was in default on the Revolving Credit Facility due to non-compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio in part due to the loss of margin and expenses associated with the damaged goods discussed above as well as a loss from operations. In November 2019, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”) whereby PNC “forbears” taking action it would be entitled to under a default through March 31, 2020 at which time we would renegotiate renewal of the Revolving Credit Facility or obtain alternative financing.
As of December 31, 2019 the Company did not meet the required EBITDA hurdle of greater than or equal to $400,000 for the third quarter ended December 31, 2019 and is unlikely to meet the remaining hurdles of the Forbearance Agreement for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019 the Revolving Credit Facility has no outstanding balance and there have been no further actions by PNC to exercise any of their options afforded to them as per the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurredreported a net loss of approximately $1,003,000$207,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to a net incomeloss of approximately $1,473,000$870,000 for the ninethree months ended December 31, 2018.June 30, 2019. In August 2019, a major customer received goods that were significantly water damaged due to excess moisture absorbed in pallets shipped by the factory. As a result we incurred a loss in cash flow of approximately $1,559,000 in revenue and approximately $849,000 in additional out of pocket expenses to retrieve, inspect, warehouse and properly destroy the goods during Fiscal 2020. As of this filing we have we have recovered approximately $2,245,000 from our cargo insurance coverage consisting of settlement of approximately $1,268,000 in insurance claim receivable, approximately $131,000 reflected as gain from damaged goods insurance claim in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 with the remaining gain on recovery of approximately $846,000 subsequently received in July 2020 which will be recognized as a gain from damaged goods insurance claim in the next quarter ending September 30, 2020. We also secured vendor invoice credits of $390,000 from the factory that caused the damage which is reflected as gain from extinguishment of accounts payable in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020. On June 16, 2020, the Company executed an Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility on eligible accounts receivable and inventory which replaced a revolving credit facility with PNC bank that was terminated on June 16, 2020. The Company expectssigned a two-year Loan and Security Agreement for a $10,000,000 financing facility (“Crestmark Facility”) with Crestmark Bank (“Crestmark”) on eligible accounts receivable. Further, the Company also executed a two-year Loan and Security Agreement (“IHC Facility”) with Iron Horse Credit (“IHC”) for up to $2,500,000 in inventory financing. The Intercreditor Revolving Loan Facility will expire on June 15, 2022. The Company has adequate cash flowson hand and cash available on its Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility (approximately $2,600,000 as of the date of this filing) to meet all obligations during this off-peak season. On May 5, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds from operationsCrestmark in the amount of approximately $444,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP was established as well as other financing resourcespart of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest may be forgivable to the extent the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. Management is confident that the availability of cash from our Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility, proceeds from the insurance claim settlement, proceeds from the PPP loan and our projections to reduce excess inventory during the next year will be adequate to satisfy working capitalmeet the Company’s liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company plans to supplement cash flows from operations from several activities and resources including the following:months.

There can be no assurances that any of the above actions can be accomplished or that financing will be available on acceptable terms. If the Company is unable to obtain financing or continues to experience sustained losses from operations this would have a material adverse effect on its ability to meet its financial obligations when due.
NOTE 3 -4 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to interim financial information and the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position and the condensed consolidated results of operations. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of March 31, 20192020 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10-K/A for the year ended March 31, 2019.2020. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The Singing Machine makes estimates and assumptions in the ordinary course of business relating to sales returns and allowances, warranty reserves, inventory reserves and reserves for promotional incentives that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Historically, past changes to these estimates have not had a material impact on the Company’s financial condition. However, circumstances could change which may alter future expectations.

COLLECTIBILITYNOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2020 and 2019
(Unaudited)
COLLECTABILITY OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Singing Machine’s allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s estimates of the creditworthiness of its customers, current economic conditions and historical information, and, in the opinion of management, is believed to be in an amount sufficient to respond to normal business conditions. Management sets 100% reserves for customers in bankruptcy and other reserves based upon historical collection experience.
The Company is subject to chargebacks from customers for cooperative marketing programs, defective returns, return freight and handling charges that are deducted from open invoices and reduce collectability of open invoices.
Should business conditions deteriorate or any major customer default on its obligations to the Company, this allowance may need to be significantly increased, which would have a negative impact on operations.
The Company is subject to chargebacks from customers for cooperative promotional programs, defective returns, return freight and handling charges that are deducted from open invoices and reduce collectability of open invoices.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The functional currency of the Macau Subsidiary is the Hong Kong dollar. The financial statements of the subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and translations are recorded in a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Any such amounts were not material during the periods presented.
Concentration of Credit RiskCONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
At times, the Company maintains cash in United States bank accounts that are more than the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured amounts. The Company also maintains cash balances in foreign financial institutions. The amounts at foreign financial institutions at December 31, 2019June 30, 2020 and March 31, 20192020 are approximately $426,000$70,000 and $211,000,$217,000, respectively.
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of accounts receivable.
INVENTORY
Inventories are comprised primarily of electronic karaoke equipment, microphones and accessories, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, as determined using the first in, first out method. Inventories also include an estimate for the net realizable value of expected future inventory returns due to warranty and allowance programs. As of December 31, 2019June 30, 2020 and March 31, 20192020 the estimated amounts for these future inventory returns were approximately $2,444,000$784,000 and $599,000,$1,367,000, respectively. The Company reduces inventory on hand to its net realizable value on an item-by-item basis when it is apparent that the expected realizable value of an inventory item falls below its original cost. A charge to cost of sales results when the estimated net realizable value of specific inventory items declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Company’s investment in inventories for such declines in value. As of December 31, 2019June 30, 2020 and March 31, 20192020 the Company had inventory reserves of approximately $404,000$467,000 and $254,000approximately $434,000, respectively for estimated excess and obsolete inventory.

(Unaudited)DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
The Company classifies deferred financing costs incurred when obtaining or renewing revolving credit facilities as assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as it is likely that during certain periods during non-peak season there will be no balance due on these credit facilities to offset the deferred financing costs. In June 2020, the Company incurred approximately $74,000 in deferred financing costs associated with the closing of the Crestmark Facility and the IHC Facility which are being amortized over the term of the agreement and were classified as current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the related assets are less than the carrying amount, the carrying amounts are reduced to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-05, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
LEASES
The Company follows FASB ASC 842, “Leases”. The ASC requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. (See Note 8– LEASES).
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right- of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the implicit rate for its finance leases.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to their estimated useful lives using accelerated and straight-line methods.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We follow FASB ASC 825, Financial Instruments, which requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, refunds due to customers and due to/from related parties approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND RESERVE FOR SALES RETURNS
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company recognizes revenue when the goods are delivered and control of the goods sold is transferred to the customer, in an amount, referred to as the transaction price, that reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company determines revenue recognition utilizing the following five steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer, (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract (promised goods or services that are distinct), (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company transfers control of the product or service for each performance obligation.
The Company’s contracts with customers consist of one performance obligation (the sale of the Company’s products). Revenue is recognized when the goods are delivered and control of the goods sold is transferred to the customer. The Company’s contracts have no financing elements, payment terms are less than 120 days and have no further contract asset or liability obligations once control of goods is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recorded in the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for the sale of these goods.
The Company selectively participates in a retailer’s co-op promotion initiatives to maximize sales of the Company’s products on the retail floor or to assist in developing consumer awareness of new product launches, by providing marketing fund allowances to our customers. As these co-op promotion initiatives are not a distinct good or service and the Company cannot reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit it receives from these arrangements, the cost of these allowances at the time they are offered to the customers are recorded as a reduction to net sales. Co-op promotion allowances were approximately $272,000 and $169,000for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Costs incurred in fulfilling contracts with customers include administrative costs associated with the procurement of goods are included in general and administrative expenses, in-bound freight costs are included in the cost of goods sold and accrued sales representative commissions are included in selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.operations as our underlying customer agreements are less than one year.
The Company disaggregates revenues by product line and major geographic region as most of its revenue is generated by the sales of karaoke hardware and the Company has no other material business segments (See NOTE 10)Note 10 – GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION).
TheWhile the Company generally does not allow products to be returned, other thanthe Company does provide for variable consideration contingent upon the occurrence of uncertain future events. Variable consideration is estimated at the expected value or at the most likely amount depending on the type of consideration. Estimated amounts are included in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company estimates variable consideration under our return allowance programs for goods returned to the customer for various reasons, and accordingly recordswhereby a sales return reserve is recorded based on historic return amounts, specific events as identified and management estimates.
The Company’s reserve for sales returns were approximately $4,546,000$380,000 and $896,000$1,224,000 as of December 31, 2019June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2019,2020, respectively.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
Shipping and handling costs are performed by both the Company and third-party logistics companies. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods sold to them and are considered activities to fulfill the Company’s promise to transfer the goods. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 shipping and handling expenses were approximately $83,000 and $89,000, respectively. These expenses are classified as a component of selling expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company follows the provisions of the FASB ASC 718-20, “Compensation – Stock Compensation Awards Classified as Equity”. ASC 718-20 requires all share-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, be measured at fair value and expensed in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the service period (generally the vesting period). The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options. Employee stock option compensation expense for the three and nine months ended December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 includes the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire portion of the award. For the three months ended December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, the stock option expense was approximately $5,000$0 and $10,000, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the stock option expense was $15,000 and $30,000,$5,000, respectively.
ADVERTISING
Costs incurred for producing and publishing advertising of the Company are charged to operations the first time the advertising takes place. The Company has entered into cooperative advertising agreements with its major customers that specifically indicate that the customer must spend the cooperative advertising fund upon the occurrence of mutually agreed events. The percentage of the cooperative advertising allowance ranges from 1% to 13% of the purchase. The customers must advertise the Company’s products in the customer’s catalog, local newspaper and other advertising media. The customer must submit the proof of the performance (such as a copy of the advertising showing the Company’s products) to the Company to request for the allowance. The customer does not have the ability to spend the allowance at their discretion. The Company believes that the identifiable benefit from the cooperative advertising program and the fair value of the advertising benefit is equal or greater than the cooperative advertising expense. Advertising expense, which is included as a component of selling expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $2,040,000 and $1,328,000, respectively. Advertising expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $3,820,000 and $2,877,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 there was an accrual for cooperative advertising allowances of $1,689,000 and $185,000, respectively. These amounts were a component of accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are charged to results of operations as incurred. These expenses are shown as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.income. For the three months ended December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, these amounts totaled approximately $13,000 and $27,000, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, these amounts totaled approximately $36,000 and $64,000$5,000, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. If it is more likely than not that some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. As of June 30 2020 and March 31, 2020 the Company recognized a valuation reserve of approximately $88,000 for deferred tax assets relating to net operating loss carryforwards that the Company will more than likely not be able to realize prior to their expiration.
The Company analyzes its deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each interim period and, based on management’s best estimate of its full year effective tax rate, recognizes cumulative adjustments to its deferred tax assets and liabilities. For the ninethree months ended December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 we estimated our effective tax rate to be approximately 22%.27.6% and 21.5%, respectively. As of December 31, 2019June 30, 2020, and March 31, 2019,2020, the CompanySinging Machine had grossnet deferred tax assets of approximately $1,053,000$1,365,000 and $758,000,$1,286,000, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $240,000$79,000 and an income tax provision of approximately $367,000$239,000 for the three months ended December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $295,000 and an income tax provision of $422,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

(Unaudited)
The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. As of December 31, 2019,June 30, 2020, there were no uncertain tax positions that resulted in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. The Company currently has no liabilities recorded for accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax provisions.
COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS (LOSS)LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Income (loss)Loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss)loss by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period. As of December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 total potential dilutive shares from common stock options amounted to approximately 2,250,0002,230,000 and 2,350,0002,310,000 shares, respectively. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 because their effect was anti-dilutive. These shares were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018.
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Topic 842, as amended, “Leases”. The ASU requires lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than twelve months. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease standard using the optional transition method under which comparative financial information will not be restated and continue to apply the provisions of the previous lease standard in its disclosures for the comparative periods. (See Note 7– LEASES).
The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of a contract. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. The liability is equal to the present value of the remaining minimum lease payments. The asset is based on the liability, subject to certain adjustments. Operating leases result in straight-line expense (similar to operating leases under the prior accounting standard) while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standard). As the interest rate implicit in the Company’s operating leases is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments. The Company utilizes the implicit rate for its finance leases.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes(Topic 740).Among several issues addressed in this ASU, there was one area that may potentially affect the Company’s calculations of interim income tax provision or benefit. The guidance specifies that an entity should apply the annual effective tax rate to the year-to date income or loss as long as the tax benefits for any losses are expected to be realized during the year or would be recognizable as a deferred tax asset at the end of the year eliminating the requirement of a valuation allowance for that interim period. There is specific guidance for circumstances in which an entity incurs a loss on a year-to-date basis that exceeds the anticipated ordinary loss for the year, which is an exception to the general guidance in Subtopic 740-270. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. We are currently evaluating the potential effects of this updated guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial“Financial Instruments—Credit Losses” (Topic(Topic 326). This ASU represents a significant change in the current accounting model by requiring immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current expected credit losses. Under the prior model, losses were recognized only as they were incurred, which delayed recognition of expected losses that might not yet have met the threshold of being probable.The amendments in ASU 2016-03 for smaller reporting companies are effective for fiscal years beginning after April 1, 2023 including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential effects of this updated guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2019 the Company remained in defaultdefaulted on the PNC Revolving Credit Facility due to non-compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio in part due to the loss of margin and related expenses associated with the damaged goods received by one major customer in August, 2019.requirement. In November 2019, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement with PNC whereby PNC “forbears”delayed taking action it would have been be entitled to under a default through March 31, 2020 and would continue forbearance actions provided the2020. The Company continued to meet compliance with certain conditions (See Note 2 – LIQUIDITY).
As of December 31, 2019 the Company did not meet the required conditionsremained in default of the Forbearance Agreement and is unlikely to meet the remaining hurdles of the Forbearance Agreement for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2019 the Revolving Credit Facility has no outstanding balance and there have been no further actions by PNC to exercise any of their options afforded to them as per the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Prior the Forbearance Agreement interest on the Revolving Line of Credit was accrued at .75% per annum over PNC’s announced prime rate with an option for the Company to elect the 1, 2 or 3 month fully absorbed PNC LIBOR Rate plus 2.75% per annum with a default rate of 2% over the applicable rate. Upon execution of the Forbearance Agreement there was a pricing rate increase of .5% on the ..75% per annum rate and the PNC LIBOR Rate plus 2.75% (See Note 2 – LIQUIDITY). There is an unused facility fee equal to ..375% per annum on the unused portionup until termination of the Revolving Credit Facility on June 16, 2020 at which will be calculatedtime the Company entered into the Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility with Crestmark and IHC. At June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 there were no amounts due on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed and will be payable quarterly in arrears.

OVERVIEW
The Singing Machine Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “SMC”, “The Singing Machine”) and its three wholly-owned subsidiaries SMC (Comercial Offshore De Macau) Limitada (“Macau Subsidiary”), SMC Logistics, Inc. (“SMC-L”) and SMC-Music, Inc.(“SMC-M”(“SMC- M”) are primarily engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio systems, accessories, musical instruments and musical recordings. The products are sold by SMC to retailers and distributors for resale to consumers.
Our products are sold throughout North America, Europe, Australia and South Africa primarily through major mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, on-line retailers and to a lesser extent department stores, lifestyle merchants, direct mail catalogs and showrooms, music and record stores, and specialty stores.
Representative customers include Amazon, Best Buy, BJ’s Wholesale, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, JC Penney and Wal-Mart. Our business has historically been subject to seasonal fluctuations causing our revenues to vary from quarter to quarter and between the same periods in different fiscal years. Our products are manufactured for the most part based on the purchase indications of our customers. We are uncertain of how significantly our business would be harmed by a prolonged economic recession, but we anticipate that continued contraction of consumer spending would negatively affect our revenues and profit margins.
Sales of consumer electronics and toy products in the retail channel are highly seasonal, with a majority of retail sales occurring during the period from September through December in anticipation of the holiday season, which includes Christmas. A substantial majority of our sales occur during the second quarter ending September 30 and the third quarter ending December 31. Sales in our second and third quarter, combined, accounted for approximately 94%85% and 89%94% of net sales in fiscal 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected U.S. consumer shopping patterns and caused the health of the U.S. economy to deteriorate. We cannot foresee whether the outbreak of COVID-19 will be effectively contained, nor can we predict the severity and duration of its impact on our business and our financial results. If the outbreak of COVID-19 is not effectively and timely controlled, our business operations, financial condition, and liquidity may be materially and adversely affected as a result of prolonged disruptions in consumer spending, a lack of demand for our products, forced retail store closures and other factors that we cannot foresee. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our financial results will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

As of December 31, 2019On June 16, 2020, the Company was in default on theexecuted an Intercreditor Revolving Credit Facility due to non-compliance with Crestmark and IHC on eligible accounts receivable and inventory which replaced the fixed charge coverage ratio in part due to the loss of margin and related expenses associated with the damaged goods received by one major customer in August, 2019. In November 2019, the Company entered into a Forbearance AgreementCompany’s previous revolving credit facility with PNC Bank National Association (“PNC”) whereby PNC “forbears” taking action it would be entitled to under a default through March 31,which was terminated on June 16, 2020 at which time we would renegotiate renewal of the Revolving Credit Facility or obtain alternative financing.

In August 2019, a major customer received goods that were significantly water damaged due to excess moisture absorbed in pallets shipped by the Revolving Credit Facilityfactory. As a result we incurred a loss in cash flow of approximately $1,559,000 in revenue and approximately $849,000 in additional out of pocket expenses to retrieve, inspect, warehouse and properly destroy the goods. As of this filing we have we have recovered approximately $2,245,000 from our cargo insurance coverage consisting of settlement of approximately $1,268,000 in insurance claim receivable, approximately $131,000 reflected as gain from damaged goods insurance claim in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 with the remaining gain on recovery of approximately $846,000 subsequently received in July 2020 which will be recognized as a gain from damaged goods insurance claim in the next quarter ending September 30, 2020. We also secured vendor invoice credits of $390,000 from the factory that caused the damage which is reflected as gain from extinguishment of accounts payable in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
On May 5, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds from Crestmark Bank in the amount of approximately $440,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP was settled in full and there have been no further actions by PNC to exercise any of their options afforded to themestablished as per the termspart of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest may be forgivable to the extent the Company uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels. The amount of loan forgiveness may be reduced if the borrower terminates employees or reduces salaries during the eligible period. The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments until a forgiveness application has been accepted and reviewed by the SBA, and the SBA has provided Crestmark with the loan forgiveness amount. For the ninethree months ended December 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company incurred a net lossinterest expense of approximately $1,003,000 compared to net income of approximately $1,473,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.$1,000 and $0, respectively.

INVENTORY SELL THROUGH
We monitor the inventory levels and sell through activity of our major customers to properly anticipate defective returns and maintain the appropriate level of inventory. We believe that our warranty provision reflects the proper amount of reserves to cover potential defective sales returns based on historical return ratios and information available from the customers.
SEASONAL AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
Historically, our operations have been seasonal, with the highest net sales occurring in our second and third fiscal quarters (reflecting increased orders for systems and music merchandise during the Christmas holiday season) and to a lesser extent the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Sales in our second and third fiscal quarters, combined, accounted for approximately 94%85% and 89%94% of net sales in fiscal 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.
Our results of operations may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of the amount and timing of orders placed and shipped to customers, as well as other factors. The fulfillment of orders can therefore significantly affect results of operations on a quarter-to-quarter basis.
INFLATION
Inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations. We generally have adjusted our prices to track changes in the Consumer Price Index since prices we charge are generally not fixed by long-term contracts.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, which require management to make subjective decisions, assessments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the judgement increases such judgements become even more subjective. While management believes that its assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, actual results may be materially different than estimated. The critical accounting estimates and assumptions have not materially changed from those identified in the Company’s 20192020 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. |
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that due to the material weakness described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level as appropriate,of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Following the initial filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020, our Forms 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and the six months ended September 30, 2020, management identified a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting that existed as of the dates of those filings related to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.the design and implementation of control activities intended to mitigate the risk that transactions be incorrectly accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, we did not maintain effective internal controls over the accounting for costs related to our co-op promotion allowances, pursuant to ASC 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers, as we incorrectly recorded these allowances as selling expenses when they should be recorded as a reduction in net sales. This material weakness resulted in material misstatements to the consolidated statements of operations for the aforementioned periods. The consolidated balance sheets, statement of cash flows, statement of shareholders’ equity, net income or loss for the affected periods remained unaffected.
Plan for Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management has begun to design and implement certain remediation measures to address the above-described material weakness and enhance the Company’s internal control in order to remediate this material weakness. As part of our remediation measures, the Company has identified and will implement plans to enhance the Company’s process and controls including ensuring adequate resources and use of accounting experts with respect to review of new accounting standards.
(b)Changes in Internal Controls. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
