Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

The information included in Item 4.02 below is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

 

On August 3, 2022, the Audit Committee, of Minim, Inc. (the “Company”), after consultation with the Company’s management and RSM US LLP (“RSM”), concluded that the following financial statements previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) should no longer be relied upon due to errors in such financial statements relating to the recording and reporting of inventory costing, inventory reserves, and related internal controls (collectively, the “Inventory Costing Errors”):

 

(1) the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021; and

(2) the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”).

 

Accordingly, investors should no longer rely upon the Company’s previously released financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods. In addition, investors should no longer rely upon earnings releases for these periods and other communications relating to these financial statements. The Inventory Costing Errors are estimated to reduce the net loss reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 from the originally reported $3.6 million net loss to an estimated amended net loss between $2.0 million and $2.4 million. The Company identified incorrectly valued inventory resulting from data processing errors of the costs per unit for customer returned inventory. In conjunction, the Company determined that the inventory reserves for the year ended December 31, 2021 were understated.

 

At this time, the Company has not fully completed its review and the expected financial impact of the Inventory Costing Errors described above is preliminary and subject to change. The Company will file an amended Form 10-K/A for fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and an amended Form 10-Q/A for fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022 as soon as practicable.

 

On August 4, 2022, the Company also filed a Form 12b-25 (the “Form 12b-25”) with the Commission which stated that it will be unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 (the “Delayed Form 10-Q”) by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense due to the Inventory Costing Errors. The Company anticipates filing the Delayed Form 10-Q within the allotted grace period provided by the Commission.

 

The Company’s management identified the Inventory Costing Errors during its inventory testing procedures for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022. In connection with this review, the Company’s finance team reviewed in detail the inventory costing with the Company’s operations team and identified that customer returned product was not properly valued due to incorrect costs per unit being applied. The Company’s enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system requires manual, rather than systematic, inputted costs per unit on certain inventory transactions. In conjunction with the inventory costing review, the Company conducted an analysis on inventory reserves and identified additional inventory reserves and provisions. The inventory reserves are specific to the inventory costing error and excess product on hand for a product.

 

 

 

 

The foregoing changes will not have any impact on the Company’s cash position, cash flow, revenues or liquidity and does not affect compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Company’s credit facility or compliance with any other agreement of the Company.

 

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures. Management will enhance automation in its ERP and institute regular reviews and other remedial measures necessary. Management will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these processes, procedures, and controls and will make nay further changes deemed appropriate. A material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient time and manage has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. The required testing for remediation is expected to occur prior to the Company completing its internal control over financial reporting assessment for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

The Audit Committee discussed the matters disclosed in this Current Report on Form 8-K with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, RSM. The Company has provided RSM with a copy of the disclosures it is making in response to this Item 4.02. In addition, the Company has requested RSM furnish to the Company as promptly as possible a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether RSM agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to this Item 4.02 and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. The Company has attached the letter from RSM to this Form 8-K.

 

The information in this Item 4.02, including the exhibit attached hereto, is furnished solely pursuant to Item 4.02. Consequently, such information is not deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Moreover, the information in this Item 4.02, including this exhibit, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933.
