Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Note 2. Restatement and Other Corrections of Previously Issued Condensed Financial Statements

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Lovesac completed an independent investigation in August 2023 whereby the Company concluded $2.2 million of last mile shipping expenses relating to the fiscal year ended January 29, 2023 were improperly capitalized during the quarter ended April 30, 2023. Through this investigation, the Company also determined that the methodology used to estimate an accrual of last mile freight expenses at each period end was not accurate because the calculation did not use the correct number of shipments that were accepted by the shipper for delivery, but not yet invoiced to the Company. Management prepared a quantitative and qualitative analysis of these errors, along with certain other immaterial accounting errors, in accordance with the U.S. SEC Staff's Accounting Bulletin Nos. 99 and 108, Materiality, and concluded the aggregate impact of all the errors are material to the Company's previously reported interim, year-to-date, and annual financial statements as of and for the year ended January 29, 2023 and the Company’s previously reported interim financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended April 30, 2023. As a result, the accompanying financial statements as of April 30, 2023, and for the three months ended April 30, 2023 and May 1, 2022, and related notes hereto, have been restated to correct these errors.

A summary of the impacts of the adjustments on the previously reported financial statements are included below:

A description of the errors and their impacts on the previously issued financial statements are included below.

Description of Misstatement Adjustments

(a) Last Mile Freight
The Company recorded adjustments to correct misstatements identified from the internal investigation related to last mile freight expenses. The result of the investigation concluded an inappropriately recorded journal entry increased inventory by $2.2 million related to shipping expense pertaining to fiscal 2023, and also concluded the methodology used to estimate last mile freight accrual was incorrect. The correction of these items represent the net impact of the findings from the investigation as noted above.

(b) Leases

The Company recorded adjustments to correct certain misstatements related to its operating leases. In the fiscal year 2022, the Company recorded an incorrect entry that resulted in the double-counting of rent expense associated with operating leases, with a corresponding impact on prepaid rent and lease liabilities as of January 30, 2022. In addition, the Company reversed the out of period correction of an incorrect entry pertaining to incremental borrowing rate that had been corrected for in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2023. This entry had an impact on prepaid rent, right-of-use assets, and the current and long-term portion of operating lease liabilities, as of and during the fiscal year ended January 29, 2023. The Company also recorded the effects of an embedded lease entered into during the quarter that was previously identified and considered immaterial.


(c) Buyer’s Remorse

The Company recorded an adjustment to correct certain canceled sales orders related to buyer’s remorse, which related to fiscal 2023 and was incorrectly reflected as an increase to Selling, General and Administrative Expense for the thirteen weeks ended April 30, 2023. The Company defines buyer's remorse as a customer who cancels an order within a short window of time after making a purchase.


(d) Supplier Rebates

During the quarter ended July 31, 2022, the Company received rebates from certain of its suppliers which was incorrectly recorded to cost of goods sold for the entire amount of the rebate received instead of deferring a portion of the rebate to inventory and recognizing the rebate in cost of goods sold as the related inventory was sold. We corrected these misstatements to defer the up-front consideration from suppliers when the retention or receipt of that consideration was to recognize the consideration as a reduction of cost of goods sold over the sell through rate of the inventory.

(e) Balance Sheet Reclassifications

The Company recorded adjustments to correct the classification of certain balance sheet reclassifications between short and long-term assets. These adjustments primarily related to the classification of prepaid expenses and other current assets and the classification of other assets (long-term). In addition, the Company recorded adjustments to correct the classification of tenant improvement allowances which resulted in a reclassification between prepaid expenses and other current assets and short-term lease liabilities.

(f) Income Taxes

The Company recorded adjustments to recognize the net impact on current and deferred income taxes associated with all the misstatements described herein. The adjustments to income taxes were recorded in the period corresponding with the respective misstatements. The correction of this error resulted in a decrease in benefit from income taxes for less than $0.1 million for the period ended April 30, 2023.

(g) Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold

The Company recorded adjustments to correct for a misstatement of an accrual related to a duplicate recording of a vendor invoice for freight charges. The Company recorded another adjustment to correct for the misstatement of inventory related to partial returned goods.

(h) Equity Based Compensation Expense

The Company recorded an adjustment to recognize equity based compensation expense in the period ended April 30, 2023 related to a one-time performance and retention long-term incentive award granted to our Chief Executive Officer in March 2023.
