NOTE 12 – REVENUE RECOGNITION 

The Company’s revenue consists substantially of product sales. The Company reports product sales net of discounts and recognizes them at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, which occurs when shipment is confirmed.

Estimated refunds for returns and allowances are recorded using our historical return patterns, adjusting for any changes in returns policies. The Company records estimated refunds for net sales returns on a monthly basis as a reduction of net sales and cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and an increase in inventory and customers returns liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of August 1, 2021 and January 31, 2021, there was a returns allowance recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in the amount of $1,534,078 and $2,226,723, respectively, which was included in accrued expenses and $319,361 and $334,896, respectively, associated with sales returns included in merchandise inventories.

In some cases, deposits are received before the Company transfers control, resulting in contract liabilities. These contract liabilities are reported as deposits on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of August 1, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the Company recorded under customer deposit liabilities the amount of $13,365,940 and $5,992,633, respectively. During the twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2021 and August 2, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $5,992,633 and $1,653,597, respectively, related to our customer deposits.

Upon adoption of ASC 606, we have elected the following accounting policies and practical expedients:

The Company recognizes shipping and handling expense as fulfilment activities (rather than as a promised good or service) when the activities are performed even if those activities are performed after the control of the good has been transferred. Accordingly, we record the expenses for shipping and handling activities at the same time we recognize revenue.

The Company excludes from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer, including sales, use, excise, value-added, and franchise taxes (collectively referred to as sales taxes).

The Company does not adjust revenue for the effects of any financing components if the contract has a duration of one year or less, as the Company receives payment from the customer within one year from when it transferred control of the related goods.

The Company offers its products through an inventory lean omni-channel platform that provides a seamless and meaningful experience to its customers in showrooms and through the internet. The Other channel predominantly represents sales through the use of online pop-up-shops and shop-in-shops that are staffed with associates trained to demonstrate and sell our product. The following represents sales disaggregated by channel:

The Company has no foreign operations and its sales to foreign countries was less than .01% of total net sales in both fiscal 2022 and 2021.

The Company had no customers in fiscal 2022 or 2021 that comprise more than 10% of total net sales.

See Note 10 for sales disaggregated by product.
