NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

November 2, 2019

(Unaudited)

(2) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with these rules and regulations. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 2, 2019 has been derived from the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019. The information furnished in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of these financial statements. Although management believes the disclosures and information presented are adequate, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 2, 2019. Operating results for the nine-month period ended November 2, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2020.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year

The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to January 31 and results in either a 52-week or 53-week fiscal year. References to years in this report relate to fiscal years, rather than to calendar years. The Company’s most recently completed fiscal year, fiscal 2018, ended on February 2, 2019, and consisted of 52 weeks. Fiscal 2019 will end February 1, 2020 and will contain 52 weeks. The three and nine-month periods ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 each consisted of 13 and 39 weeks.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Leases, Topic 842 (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted this standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the "Comparatives Under 840 Option" transition approach. Under this transition approach, comparative prior

Table of Contents

periods, including disclosures, were not restated. See Note 3 - "Leases" for information on the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software, Subtopic 350-40 (ASU 2018-15), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The new standard can be applied retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting the new accounting standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

  

(3) Leases

Adoption of Leases, Topic 842

On February 3, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases", and all related amendments using the "Comparatives Under 840 Option" transition approach. Under this transition approach, comparative prior periods, including disclosures, were not restated. The Company elected the transition package of practical expedients which, among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward historical lease classification. The Company chose not to elect the hindsight practical expedient. The adoption of the standard did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and there was no adjustment to its retained earnings opening balance sheet. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on the Company's operating results on an ongoing basis.

The most significant impact of the new leases standard was the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the Company's accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. On February 3, 2019, the adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of a right-of-use asset of $1,474,000 and a lease liability of $1,407,000, and a reduction to prepaid expenses and other of $67,000.

The Company leases certain property and equipment, such as transmission and production equipment, satellite transponder and office equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

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. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Some of the Company's leases include options to extend the term, which is only included in the lease liability and right-of-use assets calculation when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. As of November 2, 2019, the lease liability and right-of-use assets did not include any lease extension options.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and has elected to account for these as a single lease component. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

		For the Three-Month				For the Nine-Month
		Period Ended				Period Ended
		November 2, 2019				November 2, 2019
Operating lease cost		$	240,000			$	763,000
Short-term lease cost		16,000				126,000
Variable lease cost (a)		21,000				71,000

(a) Includes variable costs of finance leases.

For the three and nine-month periods ended November 2, 2019, finance lease costs included amortization of right-of-use assets of $24,000 and $48,000 and interest on lease liabilities of $2,000 and $5,000.

(4) Revenue

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised merchandise is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for the merchandise, which is upon shipment. Revenue is reported net of estimated sales returns, credits and incentives, and excludes sales taxes. Sales returns are estimated and provided for at the time of sale based on historical experience. As of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, the Company recorded a merchandise return liability of $5,791,000 and $8,097,000, included in accrued liabilities, and a right of return asset of $3,163,000 and $4,410,000, included in other current assets.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Substantially all of the Company's sales are single performance obligation arrangements for transferring control of merchandise to customers.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers by significant product groups and timing of when the performance obligations are satisfied. A reconciliation of disaggregated revenue by significant product group is provided in Note 10 - "Business Segments and Sales by Product Group."

As of November 2, 2019, approximately $41,000 is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations over the next 1.2 years. The Company has applied the practical expedient to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected term of one year or less. Revenue recognized over time was $9,000 for the three-month

Table of Contents

periods ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 and $27,000 for the nine-month periods ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018.

Accounts Receivable

The Company utilizes an installment payment program called ValuePay that entitles customers to purchase merchandise and generally pay for the merchandise in two or more equal monthly credit card installments. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the payment terms are less than one year. Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers for merchandise sales and from credit card companies and are reflected net of reserves for estimated uncollectible amounts. As of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, the Company had approximately $55,513,000 and $74,787,000 of net receivables due from customers under the ValuePay installment program and total reserves for estimated uncollectible amounts of $7,430,000 and $8,533,000.

(5) Fair Value Measurements

GAAP utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurement), then priority to quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market (Level 2 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

As of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, the Company had $0 and $450,000 in Level 2 investments in the form of bank certificates of deposit, which are included in restricted cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company's investments in certificates of deposits were measured using inputs based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets and, therefore, were classified as Level 2 investments. As of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, the Company also had a long-term variable rate PNC Credit Facility (as defined below), classified as Level 2, with carrying values of $69,412,000 and $71,420,000. As of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019, $2,488,000 of the long-term variable rate PNC Credit Facility was classified as current. The fair value of the PNC Credit Facility approximates, and is based on, its carrying value due to the variable rate nature of the financial instrument. The Company has no Level 3 investments that use significant unobservable inputs.

PNC Credit Facility

On February 9, 2012, the Company entered into a credit and security agreement (as amended through November 25, 2019, the "PNC Credit Facility") with PNC Bank, N.A. ("PNC"), a member of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., as lender and agent. The PNC Credit Facility, which includes CIBC Bank USA (formerly known as The Private Bank) as part of the facility, provides a revolving line of credit of $90.0 million and provides for a term loan on which the Company had originally drawn to fund improvements at the Company's distribution facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky and subsequently to pay down the Company's previously outstanding term loan with GACP Finance Co., LLC. The PNC Credit Facility also provides an accordion feature that would allow the Company to expand the size of the revolving line of credit by another $25.0 million at the discretion of the lenders and upon certain conditions being met. On November 25, 2019, the Company entered into the Eleventh Amendment to the PNC Credit Facility, as described in Note 18 - "Subsequent Events". The Eleventh Amendment, among other things, increased the interest rate margins on both the revolving line of credit and term loan.

All borrowings under the PNC Credit Facility mature and are payable on July 27, 2023. Subject to certain conditions, the PNC Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $6.0 million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the PNC Credit Facility. Maximum borrowings and available capacity under the revolving line of credit under the PNC Credit Facility are equal to the lesser of $90.0 million or a calculated borrowing base comprised of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. The PNC Credit Facility is secured by a first security interest in substantially all of the Company’s personal property, as well as the Company’s real properties located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and Bowling Green, Kentucky. Under certain circumstances, the borrowing base may be adjusted if there were to be a significant deterioration in value of the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory.

The revolving line of credit under the PNC Credit Facility bears interest at either a Base Rate or LIBOR plus a margin consisting of between 2% and 3% on Base Rate advances and 3% and 4.5% on LIBOR advances based on the Company's trailing twelve-month reported leverage ratio (as defined in the PNC Credit Facility) measured semi-annually as demonstrated in its financial statements. The term loan bears interest at either a Base Rate or LIBOR plus a margin consisting of between 4% and 5% on Base Rate term loans and 5% to 6% on LIBOR Rate term loans based on the Company’s leverage ratio measured annually as demonstrated in its audited financial statements.

As of November 2, 2019, the Company had borrowings of $53.9 million under its revolving credit facility. Remaining available capacity under the revolving credit facility as of November 2, 2019 was approximately $6.3 million, which provided liquidity for working capital and general corporate purposes. The PNC Credit Facility also provides for a term loan on which the Company had originally drawn to fund an expansion and improvements at the Company's distribution facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky and subsequently to partially pay down the Company's previously outstanding term loan with GACP Finance Co., LLC and reduce its revolving credit facility borrowings. As of November 2, 2019, there was approximately $15.6 million outstanding under the PNC Credit Facility term loan of which $2.5 million was classified as current in the accompanying balance sheet.

Principal borrowings under the term loan are to be payable in monthly installments over an 84-month amortization period commencing on September 1, 2018 and are also subject to mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, upon receipt of certain proceeds from dispositions of collateral. Borrowings under the term loan are also subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of excess cash flow for such fiscal year, with any such payment

not to exceed $2.0 million in any such fiscal year. The PNC Credit Facility is also subject to other mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances. In addition, if the total PNC Credit Facility is terminated prior to maturity, the Company would be required to pay an early termination fee of 1.0% if terminated on or before July 27, 2020, 0.5% if terminated on or before July 27, 2021, and no fee if terminated after July 27, 2021. As of November 2, 2019, the imputed effective interest rate on the PNC term loan was 6.0%.

Interest expense recorded under the PNC Credit Facility was $904,000 and $2,593,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended November 2, 2019 and $766,000 and $2,688,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended November 3, 2018.

The PNC Credit Facility contains customary covenants and conditions, including, among other things, maintaining a minimum of unrestricted cash plus unused line availability of $10.0 million at all times and limiting annual capital expenditures. Certain financial covenants, including minimum EBITDA levels (as defined in the PNC Credit Facility) and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, become applicable only if unrestricted cash plus unused line availability falls below $10.8 million. As of November 2, 2019, the Company's unrestricted cash plus unused line availability was $22.9 million and the Company was in compliance with applicable financial covenants of the PNC Credit Facility and expects to be in compliance with applicable financial covenants over the next twelve months. In addition, the PNC Credit Facility places restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or prepay existing indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, to merge or consolidate with other entities, and to make certain restricted payments, including payments of dividends to common shareholders.

Deferred financing costs, net of amortization, relating to the revolving line of credit were $437,000 and $561,000 as of November 2, 2019 and February 2, 2019 and are included within other assets within the accompanying balance sheet. These costs are being expensed as additional interest over the five-year term of the PNC Credit Facility.

The aggregate maturities of the Company's long-term credit facility as of November 2, 2019 are as follows:

		PNC Credit Facility
Fiscal year		Term loan				Revolving loan				Total
2019		$	452,000			$	—			$	452,000

Cash Requirements

The Company has significant future commitments for its cash, primarily payments for cable and satellite program distribution obligations and the eventual repayment of the Company's credit facility. During fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, the Company experienced a decline in customers and lost a significant brand which contributed to a decrease in its consolidated net sales and corresponding decrease in profitability. The Company has taken or is taking the following steps to enhance its operations and liquidity position: entered into a private placement securities purchase agreement in which it received gross proceeds of $6.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2019, implemented a reduction in overhead costs with $17 million in expected annualized savings, primarily driven by a 20% reduction in the Company's non-variable work force; planned a reduction in capital expenditures compared to prior years; managed its inventory levels commensurate with sales; launched a new marquee beauty brand in January 2019; launched the Company's ShopHQ VIP customer program; entered into an agreement with Shaquille O'Neal, which includes the launch of a new live televised program in 2020, "In the Kitchen with Shaq" and the development of a Shaq branded collection of kitchenware, cookware and grill products; launched Bulldog Shopping Network, a niche television shopping network geared towards male consumers in November 2019; partnered with well-known personalities to develop and market exclusive lifestyle brands; and acquired Float Left Interactive, Inc. ("Float Left") and J.W. Hulme Company ("J.W. Hulme"). Float Left is a business comprised of connected TVs, video-based content, application development and distribution, including technical consulting services, software development and maintenance related to video distribution. The Company plans to utilize Float Left’s team and technology platform to further grow its content delivery capabilities in OTT platforms while providing new revenue opportunities. J.W. Hulme is a business specializing in artisan-crafted leather products, including handbags and luggage. The Company plans to accelerate J.W. Hulme's revenue growth by creating its own programming on ShopHQ. Additionally, the Company plans to utilize J.W. Hulme to craft private-label accessories for the Company's existing owned and operated fashion brands. The Company's ability to fund operations and capital expenditures in the future will be dependent on its ability to generate cash flow from operations, maintain or improve margins, decrease the rate of decline in its sales and to use available funds from the Company's PNC Credit Facility. The Company's ability to borrow funds is dependent on its ability to maintain an adequate borrowing base and its ability to meet its credit facility's covenants, which requires, among other things, maintaining a minimum of $10.0 million of unrestricted

cash plus facility availability at all times. Accordingly, if the Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund its working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, and its cash reserves are depleted, the Company may need to take further actions, such as reducing or delaying capital investments, strategic investments or other actions. The Company believes that its existing cash balances, together with its availability under the PNC Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund its normal business operations over the next twelve months from the issuance of this report. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its strategic initiatives or obtain additional funding on favorable terms in the future which could have a significant adverse effect on its operations.

(8) Shareholders' Equity

Private Placement Securities Purchase Agreement

On May 2, 2019, the Company entered into a private placement securities purchase agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited investors pursuant to which the Company: (a) sold, in the aggregate, 8,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.75 per share and (b) issued five-year warrants ("5-year Warrants") to purchase 3,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The 5-year Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part from time to time through the expiration date of May 2, 2024. The purchasers included Invicta Media Investments, LLC, Michael and Leah Friedman, Timothy Peterman and certain other private investors. Invicta Media Investments, LLC is owned by IWCA, which is the designer and manufacturer of Invicta-branded watches and watch accessories, one of the Company’s largest and longest tenured brands. Michael and Leah Friedman are owners and officers of Sterling Time, which is the exclusive distributor of IWCA’s watches and watch accessories for television home shopping and our long-time vendor. A description of the relationship between the Company, IWCA and Sterling Time is contained in Note 15 - “Related Party Transactions”. Under the Purchase Agreement, the purchasers agreed to customary standstill provisions related to the Company for a period of two years, as well as to vote their shares in favor of matters recommended by the Company’s board of directors for approval by our shareholders. In addition, the Company agreed in the Purchase Agreement to appoint Eyal Lalo, an owner of IWCA, as vice chair of the Company’s board of directors, Michael Friedman to the Company’s board of directors and Timothy Peterman as the Company’s chief executive officer.

In connection with the closing under the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into certain other agreements with IWCA, Sterling Time and the purchasers, including a five-year vendor exclusivity agreement with Sterling Time and IWCA. The vendor exclusivity agreement grants the Company the exclusive right in television shopping to market, promote and sell the products from IWCA.

The Company received gross proceeds of $6.0 million and incurred approximately $175,000 of issuance costs. The Company allocated the proceeds of the stock offering to the shares of common stock issued. The par value of the shares issued was recorded within common stock, with the remainder of the proceeds, less issuance costs, recorded as additional paid in capital in the Company's balance sheet. The Company has used the proceeds for general working capital purposes. The 5-year Warrants were issued primarily as consideration for a five-year vendor exclusivity agreement with IWCA and Sterling Time. The aggregate market value of the 5-year Warrants on the grant date was $193,000, which was recorded as an intangible asset and is being amortized as cost of sales over the agreement term. The 5-year Warrants are indexed to the Company's publicly traded stock and were classified as equity. As a result, the fair value of the 5-year Warrants was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital.

Warrants

As of November 2, 2019, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 7,349,365 shares of the Company’s common stock, of which 7,349,365 are fully exercisable. The warrants expire five years from the date of grant. The following table summarizes information regarding warrants outstanding at November 2, 2019:

Grant Date		Warrants Outstanding			Warrants Exercisable			Exercise Price (Per Share)		Expiration Date
September 19, 2016		2,976,190			2,976,190			$2.90		September 19, 2021

On November 27, 2018, the Company issued warrants to Fonda, Inc. for 1,500,000 shares of our common stock in connection with and as consideration for entering into a services and trademark licensing agreement between the companies. The aggregate market value on the date of the award was $441,000 and was being amortized as cost of sales over the three-year services and

trademark licensing agreement term. On July 29, 2019, the Company and Fonda, Inc. agreed to terminate the services and trademark licensing agreement and the warrants for 1,500,000 shares were forfeited.

Restricted Stock Award

On November 23, 2018, the Company entered into a restricted stock award agreement with Flageoli Classic Limited, LLC (“FCL”) granting FCL 1,500,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock in connection with and as consideration for entering into a vendor exclusivity agreement with the Company. The vendor exclusivity agreement grants us the exclusive right in television shopping to market, promote and sell products under the trademark of Serious Skincare, a skin-care brand that launched on the Company's television network on January 3, 2019. Additionally, the agreement identifies Jennifer Flavin-Stallone as the primary spokesperson for the brand on the Company's television network. The restricted shares will vest in three tranches. Of the restricted shares granted, 500,000 vested on January 4, 2019, which was the first business day following the initial appearance of the Serious Skincare brand on the Company's television network. The remaining restricted shares will vest in equal amounts on January 4, 2020 and January 4, 2021. The aggregate market value on the date of the award was $1,408,000 and is being amortized as cost of sales over the three-year vendor exclusivity agreement term. The estimated fair value of the restricted stock is based on the grant date closing price of the Company's stock for time-based vesting awards.

Compensation expense relating to the restricted stock award was $117,000 and $352,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019. As of November 2, 2019, there was $967,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock unit grants. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

A summary of the status of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock award activity as of November 2, 2019 and changes during the nine months then ended is as follows:

		Restricted Stock
		Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Non-vested outstanding, February 2, 2019		1,000,000			$	0.94
Granted		—			$	—
Vested		—			$	—
Non-vested outstanding, November 2, 2019		1,000,000			$	0.94

Stock-Based Compensation - Stock Options

Compensation is recognized for all stock-based compensation arrangements by the Company. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock option awards was $79,000 and $315,000 for the third quarters of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 and $593,000 and $857,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018. The Company has not recorded any income tax benefit from the exercise of stock options due to the uncertainty of realizing income tax benefits in the future.

As of November 2, 2019, the Company had one omnibus stock plan for which stock awards can be currently granted: the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan that provides for the issuance of up to 13,000,000 shares of the Company's stock. The 2004 Omnibus Stock Plan expired on June 22, 2014. No further awards may be made under the 2004 Omnibus Plan, but any award granted under the 2004 Omnibus Plan and outstanding on June 22, 2014 will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms. The 2011 plan is administered by the human resources and compensation committee of the board of directors and provides for awards for employees, directors and consultants. All employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the plan. The types of awards that may be granted under this plan include restricted and unrestricted stock, restricted stock units, incentive and nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other stock-based awards. Incentive stock options may be granted to employees at such exercise prices as the human resources and compensation committee may determine but not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date of grant. No incentive stock option may be granted more than 10 years after the effective date of the respective plan's inception or be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant. Options granted to outside directors are nonstatutory stock options with an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the date of grant. Except for market-based options, options granted generally vest over three years in the case of employee stock options and vest immediately on the date of grant in the case of director options, and have contractual terms of 10 years from the date of grant.

The fair value of each time-based vesting option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. Expected term is calculated using the simplified method taking into consideration the option's contractual life and vesting terms. The Company uses the simplified method in estimating its expected option term because it believes that historical

15

Table of Contents

exercise data cannot be accurately relied upon at this time to provide a reasonable basis for estimating an expected term due to the extreme volatility of its stock price and the resulting unpredictability of its stock option exercises. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Expected dividend yields were not used in the fair value computations as the Company has never declared or paid dividends on its common stock and currently intends to retain earnings for use in operations.

	Fiscal 2019				Fiscal 2018
Expected volatility:	75%	-	82%		72%
Expected term (in years):	6 years				6 years
Risk-free interest rate:	1.4%	-	2.6%		2.8%	-	3.0%

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option activity as of November 2, 2019 and changes during the nine months then ended is as follows:

	2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan			Weighted Average Exercise Price				2004 Incentive Stock Option Plan			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Balance outstanding, February 2, 2019	4,759,000			$	1.36			107,000			$	4.87

The following table summarizes information regarding stock options outstanding at November 2, 2019:

	Options Outstanding													Options Vested or Expected to Vest

2004 Incentive:	67,000			$	5.11			4.2		$	—			67,000			$	5.11			4.2		$	—

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 was $0.31 and $0.74. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 was $0 and $26,000. As of November 2, 2019, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $368,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.4 years.

Stock-Based Compensation - Restricted Stock Units

Compensation expense relating to restricted stock unit grants was $229,000 and $507,000 for the third quarters of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 and $715,000 and $1,323,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018. As of November 2, 2019, there was $1,034,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock unit grants. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average expected life of 1.7 years. The total fair value of restricted stock units vested during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 was $383,000 and $1,189,000. The estimated fair value of restricted stock units is based on the grant date closing price of the Company's stock for time-based vesting awards and a Monte Carlo valuation model for market-based vesting awards.

The Company has granted time-based restricted stock units to certain key employees as part of the Company's long-term incentive program. The restricted stock units generally vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the grant date and are being amortized as compensation expense over the three-year vesting period. The Company has also granted restricted stock units to non-employee directors as part of the Company's annual director compensation program. Each restricted stock unit grant vests or vested on the day immediately preceding the next annual meeting of shareholders following the date of grant. The grants are amortized as director compensation expense over the twelve-month vesting period.

Table of Contents

The Company granted no market-based restricted stock performance units to executives and key employees as part of the Company's long-term incentive program during the third quarters of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 and 941,000 and 747,000 market-based restricted stock performance units during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018. The number of restricted stock units earned is based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to a group of industry peers over a three-year performance measurement period. Grant date fair values were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on assumptions as follows:

	Fiscal 2019				Fiscal 2018
Total grant date fair value	$482,000				$859,000
Total grant date fair value per share	$0.51				$1.07	-	$1.30
Expected volatility	74%	-	82%		73%	-	76%
Weighted average expected life (in years)	3 years				3 years
Risk-free interest rate	1.7%	-	2.3%		2.4%	-	2.7%

The percent of the target market-based performance restricted stock unit award that will be earned based on the Company's TSR relative to the peer group is as follows:

Percentile Rank		Percentage of Units Vested
< 33%		0%
33%		50%
50%		100%
100%		150%

On May 2, 2019, Timothy A. Peterman was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and entered into an executive employment agreement. In conjunction with the employment agreement, the Company granted 680,000 restricted stock units to Mr. Peterman. The restricted stock units vest in three tranches, each tranche consisting of one-third of the units subject to the award. Tranche 1 will vest upon the one-year anniversary of the grant date. Tranche 2 will vest on the date the Company's average closing stock price for 20 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $2.00 per share and the executive has been continuously employed at least one year. Tranche 3 will vest on the date the Company's average closing stock price for 20 consecutive trading days equals or exceeds $4.00 per share and the executive has been continuously employed at least two years. The vesting of the second and third tranches can occur any time on or before May 1, 2029. The total grant date fair value was estimated to be $220,000 and is being amortized over the derived service periods for each tranche.

Grant date fair values and derived service periods for each tranche were determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on assumptions, which included a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.5%, a weighted average expected life of 2.9 years and an implied volatility of 80% and were as follows for each tranche:

		Fair Value (Per Share)		Derived Service Period
Tranche 1 (one year)		$0.37		1.00 Year
Tranche 2 ($2.00/share)		$0.32		3.27 Years
Tranche 3 ($4.00/share)		$0.29		4.53 Years

(9) Net Loss Per Common Share

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company issued a restricted stock award that meets the criteria of a participating security. Accordingly, basic income (loss) per share is computed using the two-class method under which earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities. Undistributed net losses are allocated entirely to common shareholders since the participating security has no contractual obligation to share in the losses. All shares of restricted stock are deducted from weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – basic. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock of the Company during reported periods and is calculated using the treasury method.

A reconciliation of net loss per share calculations and the number of shares used in the calculation of basic loss per share and diluted loss per share is as follows:

		Three-Month Periods Ended								Nine-Month Periods Ended
		November 2, 2019				November 3, 2018				November 2, 2019				November 3, 2018
Numerator:
Net loss		$	(6,741,000	)		$	(9,157,000	)		$	(37,908,000	)		$	(12,183,000	)
Earnings allocated to participating share awards (a)		—				—				—				—
Net loss attributable to common shares — Basic and diluted		$	(6,741,000	)		$	(9,157,000	)		$	(37,908,000	)		$	(12,183,000	)
Denominator:
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — Basic		75,770,277				66,351,835				72,863,795				65,907,301
Dilutive effect of stock options, non-vested shares and warrants (b)		—				—				—				—
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — Diluted		75,770,277				66,351,835				72,863,795				65,907,301
Net loss per common share		$	(0.09	)		$	(0.14	)		$	(0.52	)		$	(0.18	)
Net loss per common share — assuming dilution		$	(0.09	)		$	(0.14	)		$	(0.52	)		$	(0.18	)

(a) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company issued a restricted stock award that is a participating security. For the three and nine-month periods ended November 2, 2019, the entire undistributed loss is allocated to common shareholders.

(b) For the three and nine-month periods ended November 2, 2019, there were 747,000 and 401,000 incremental in-the-money potentially dilutive common shares outstanding, and 817,000 and 454,000 for the three and nine-month periods ended November 3, 2018. The incremental in-the-money potentially dilutive common stock shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

(10) Business Segments and Sales by Product Group

The Company has one reporting segment, which encompasses its interactive video and digital commerce retailing. The Company markets, sells and distributes its products to consumers primarily through its video commerce television, online website and mobile platforms. The Company's television shopping, online and mobile platforms have similar economic characteristics with respect to products, product sourcing, vendors, marketing and promotions, gross margins, customers, and methods of distribution. In addition, the Company believes that its television shopping program is a key driver of traffic to both the website and mobile applications whereby many of the online sales originate from customers viewing the Company's television program and then placing their orders online or through mobile devices. All of the Company's sales are made to customers residing in the United States. The chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Information on net sales by significant product groups are as follows (in thousands):

(11) Income Taxes

At February 2, 2019, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of approximately $338 million which may be available to offset future taxable income. The Company's federal NOLs generated prior to 2018 expire in varying amounts each year from 2023 through 2037 in accordance with applicable federal tax regulations and the timing of when the NOLs were incurred. The Company's federal NOLs generated in 2018 and after can be carried forward indefinitely.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company had a change in ownership (as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code) as a result of the issuance of common stock coupled with the redemption of all the Series B preferred stock held by GE Capital Equity Investments, Inc.  Sections 382 and 383 limit the annual utilization of certain tax attributes, including NOL carryforwards, incurred prior to a change in ownership. Currently, the limitations imposed by Sections 382 and 383 are not expected to impair the Company's ability to fully realize its NOLs; however, the annual usage of NOLs incurred prior to the change in ownership is limited. In addition, if the Company were to experience another ownership change, as defined by Sections 382 and 383, its ability to utilize its NOLs could be further substantially limited and depending on the severity of the annual NOL limitation, the Company could permanently lose its ability to use a significant amount of its accumulated NOLs. The Company currently has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets and related limitations depend on the ability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income in the future, as well as the timing of such income.

Shareholder Rights Plan

The Company has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan to preserve the value of certain deferred tax benefits, including those generated by net operating losses. On July 10, 2015, the Company declared a dividend distribution of one purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 23, 2015 and issuable as of that date. On July 13, 2015, the Company entered into a Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., a national banking association, with respect to the Rights. Except in certain circumstances set forth in the Rights Plan, each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (“Preferred Stock” and each one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, a “Unit”) at a price of $9.00 per Unit. On July 12, 2019, the Company's shareholders re-approved the Rights Plan at the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders. The Rights Plan will expire on the close of business on the date of the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders, unless the Rights Plan is re-approved by shareholders prior to expiration.

(13) Inventory Impairment Write-down

On May 2, 2019, Timothy A. Peterman was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company (See Note 17 - “Executive and Management Transition Costs”) and implemented a new merchandise strategy to shift airtime and merchandise by increasing higher contribution margin categories, such as jewelry & watches and beauty & wellness, and decreasing home and fashion & accessories. This change of strategy resulted in the need to liquidate excess inventory in the fashion & accessories and home product categories as a result of the reduced airtime being allocated to those categories. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash inventory write-down of $6,050,000 within cost of sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

(14) Litigation

The Company is involved from time to time in various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including claims related to products, product warranties, contracts, employment, intellectual property, consumer protection and regulatory matters. In the opinion of management, none of the claims and suits, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or consolidated financial statements.

The company’s common stock will open for trading on Nasdaq on December 12, 2019 on a post-split basis. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares that would result from the reverse stock split will be cancelled in exchange for the payment of cash consideration. The reverse stock split will affect all issued and outstanding shares of the company’s common stock, as well as the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the company’s outstanding stock options and warrants. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options or warrants outstanding immediately prior to the reverse split and correspondingly increase the respective exercise prices. The reverse stock split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage interest in the company’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split results in some shareholders experiencing an adjustment of a fractional share as described above. The reverse stock split is primarily intended to bring the company into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for maintaining its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “IMBI.”

Our product strategy is to continue to develop and expand new product offerings across multiple merchandise categories based on customer demand, as well as to offer competitive pricing and special values in order to drive new customers and maximize margin dollars per minute. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we started implementing a new strategy to shift airtime and merchandise mix into higher contribution margin categories, such as jewelry & watches and beauty & wellness, to drive better customer engagement, and improve our merchandising margin and shipping margin. We also expect this changed mix will lower our variable costs as a percentage of revenue. Our core digital commerce customers — those who interact with our network and transact through television, online and mobile devices — are primarily women between the ages of 45 and 70. We also have a strong presence of male customers of similar age. We believe our customers make purchases based on our unique products, quality merchandise and value.

Company Strategy

As an interactive media company, our strategy includes developing and growing multiple monetization models, including TV retailing, eCommerce, advertising and service fees, to grow our business. We expect that these initiatives build upon our core strengths and provide us an advantage in the marketplace. On July 16, 2019 we changed our corporate name to iMedia Brands, Inc. to reflect our broader portfolio of media brands.

Our strategy includes offering our curated assortment of proprietary, exclusive (i.e., products that are not readily available elsewhere), emerging and name-brand products. Our programming is distributed through our video commerce infrastructure, which includes television access to more than 87 million homes in the United States, primarily on cable and satellite systems as well as over-the-air broadcast and over-the-top platforms. Our merchandising plan is focused on delivering a balanced assortment of profitable products presented in an engaging, entertaining, shopping-centric format using our unique expertise in storytelling and “live on location” broadcasting. We are also focused on growing our high lifetime value customer file and growing our revenues, through social, mobile, online, and over-the-top platforms, as well as leveraging our capacity, system capability and expertise in distribution and product development to generate new business relationships. We believe these initiatives will position us to deliver a more engaging and enjoyable customer experience with product offerings and service that exceed customer expectations. On August 21, 2019, we changed the name of the Evine network back to ShopHQ, which was the name of the network in 2014. ShopHQ is easier to recognize for existing television retailing customers and we believe this more intuitive and recognizable name will allow us to better promote our network and build our customer file.

Our growth strategy also includes building profitable niche interactive media networks and services, such as the Bulldog Shopping Network, which launched on November 22, 2019, and LaVenta. The Bulldog Shopping Network is a new omni-channel, television shopping brand that will sell and advertise men's merchandise and services, and the aspirational lifestyles associated with its brands and personalities. In addition, in 2020, we expect to launch a new omni-channel, Spanish language, television shopping brand centered on the Latin culture to sell and advertise merchandise, services and personalities, celebrating aspirational lifestyles. To grow our service revenue, we recently launched iMedia Web Services, which includes creative and interactive services and third-party logistics services. We plan to expand our service offerings to provide a “one-stop commerce services offering” targeting brands interested in propelling their growth using our unique combination of assets in television, web and third-party logistics services.

Program Distribution

ShopHQ, our 24-hour television shopping program, which is distributed primarily on cable and satellite systems, reached more than 87 million homes during the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018. Our television home shopping programming is also simulcast 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on our website, shophq.com, broadcast over-the-air in certain markets and is also available on all mobile channels and on various video streaming applications, such as Roku and Apple TV.  This multiplatform distribution approach, complemented by our strong mobile and online efforts, ensures that our programming is available wherever and whenever our customers choose to shop.

In addition to our total homes reached, we continue to increase the number of channels on existing distribution platforms and alternative distribution methods, including reaching deals to launch our programming on high definition ("HD") channels.  We believe that our distribution strategy of pursuing additional channels in productive homes already receiving our programming is a more balanced approach to growing our business than merely adding new television homes in untested areas. We believe that having an HD feed of our service allows us to attract new viewers and customers.

Cable and Satellite Distribution Agreements

We have entered into distribution agreements with cable operators, direct-to-home satellite providers and telecommunications companies to distribute our television programming over their systems. The terms of the distribution agreements typically range from one to five years. During the fiscal year, certain agreements with cable, satellite or other distributors may expire. Under certain circumstances, the cable operators or we may cancel the agreements prior to their expiration. Additionally, we may elect not to renew distribution agreements whose terms result in sub-standard or negative contribution margins. If the operator drops our service or if either we or the operator fails to reach mutually agreeable business terms concerning the distribution of our service so that the agreements are terminated, our business may be materially adversely affected. Failure to maintain our distribution agreements covering a material portion of our existing households on acceptable financial and other terms could materially and adversely affect our future growth, sales and earnings unless we are able to arrange for alternative means of broadly distributing our television programming.

Our Competition

The video and digital commerce retail business is highly competitive, and we are in direct competition with numerous retailers, including online retailers, many of whom are larger, better financed and have a broader customer base than we do. In our television shopping and digital commerce operations, we compete for customers with other television shopping and e-commerce retailers, infomercial companies, other types of consumer retail businesses, including traditional "brick and mortar" department stores, discount stores, warehouse stores and specialty stores, catalog and mail order retailers and other direct sellers.

Our direct competitors within the television shopping industry include QVC, Inc. and HSN, Inc., which are owned by Qurate Retail Inc. Both QVC, Inc. and HSN, Inc. are substantially larger than we are in terms of annual revenues and customers, and the programming of each is carried more broadly to U.S. households, including high definition bands and multi-channel carriage, than our programming. Multimedia Commerce Group, Inc., which operates Jewelry Television, also competes with us for customers in the jewelry category. In addition, there are a number of smaller niche retailers and startups in the television shopping arena who compete with us. We believe that our major competitors incur cable and satellite distribution fees representing a significantly lower percentage of their sales attributable to their television programming than we do, and that their fee arrangements are substantially on a commission basis (in some cases with minimum guarantees) rather than on the predominantly fixed-cost basis that we currently have. At our current sales level, our distribution costs as a percentage of total consolidated net sales are higher than those of our competition. However, we have the ability to leverage this fixed expense with sales growth to accelerate improvement in our profitability.

We anticipate continued competition for viewers and customers, for experienced television commerce and e-commerce personnel, for distribution agreements with cable and satellite systems and for vendors and suppliers - not only from television shopping companies, but also from other companies that seek to enter the television shopping and online retail industries, including telecommunications and cable companies, television networks, and other established retailers. We believe that our ability to be successful in the video and digital commerce industry will be dependent on a number of key factors, including continuing to expand our digital footprint to meet our customers' needs and increasing the lifetime value of our customer base by a combination of growing the number of customers who purchase products from us and maximizing the dollar value of sales and profitability per customer.

Summary Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal 2019

management transition costs totaling $2.4 million; transaction, settlement and integration costs, net, totaling $(804,000); and rebranding costs of $792,000. We reported an operating loss of $9.5 million and a net loss of $12.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2018.

Private Placement Securities Purchase Agreement

On May 2, 2019, we entered into a private placement securities purchase agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with certain accredited investors pursuant to which we: (a) sold, in the aggregate, 8,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.75 per share and (b) issued five-year warrants ("5-year Warrants") to purchase 3,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The 5-year Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part from time to time through the expiration date of May 2, 2024. The purchasers included Invicta Media Investments, LLC, Michael and Leah Friedman, Timothy Peterman and certain other private investors. Invicta Media Investments, LLC is owned by Invicta Watch Company of America, Inc. (“IWCA”), which is the designer and manufacturer of Invicta-branded watches and watch accessories, one of our largest and longest tenured brands. Michael and Leah Friedman are owners and officers of Sterling Time, LLC (“Sterling Time”), which is the exclusive distributor of IWCA’s watches and watch accessories for television home shopping and our long-time vendor. A description of the relationship between our company, IWCA and Sterling Time is contained in Note 15 - “Related Party Transactions” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Under the Purchase Agreement, the purchasers agreed to customary standstill provisions related to our company for a period of two years, as well as to vote their shares in favor of matters recommended by our board of directors for approval by our shareholders. In addition, we agreed in the Purchase Agreement to appoint Eyal Lalo, an owner of IWCA, as vice chair of our board of directors, Michael Friedman to our board of directors and Timothy Peterman as our chief executive officer.

In connection with the closing under the Purchase Agreement, we entered into certain other agreements with IWCA, Sterling Time and the purchasers, including a 5-year vendor exclusivity agreement with Sterling Time and IWCA. The vendor exclusivity agreement grants us the exclusive right in television shopping to market, promote and sell the products from IWCA.

The Company received gross proceeds of $6.0 million and incurred approximately $175,000 of issuance costs. We have used the proceeds for general working capital purposes. The 5-year Warrants were issued primarily as consideration for a five-year vendor exclusivity agreement with IWCA and Sterling Time. The aggregate market value of the 5-year Warrants on the grant date was $193,000, which was recorded as an intangible asset and is being amortized as cost of sales over the agreement term.

Inventory Impairment Write-down

On May 2, 2019, Timothy A. Peterman was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company (see Note 17 - “Executive and Management Transition Costs” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and implemented a new merchandise strategy to shift airtime and merchandise by increasing higher contribution margin categories, such as jewelry & watches and beauty & wellness, and decreasing home and fashion & accessories. This change of strategy resulted in the need to liquidate excess inventory in the fashion & accessories and home product categories as a result of the reduced airtime being allocated to those categories. As a result, we recorded a non-cash inventory write-down of $6.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Restructuring Costs

During the second quarter of 2019, we implemented and completed a cost optimization initiative, which reduced our organizational structure, closed the New York and Los Angeles offices and cut overhead costs. The initiative included the elimination of 11 senior executive roles and a 20% reduction to our non-variable workforce. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company implemented and completed additional organizational changes and cost-saving measures. As a result, we recorded restructuring charges of $1.5 million and $6.7 million for the three and nine-month periods ended November 2, 2019, which relate primarily to severance and other incremental costs associated with the consolidation and elimination of positions across the Company. The optimization initiative is expected to eliminate approximately $17 million in annual overhead costs.

Executive and Management Transition Costs

On May 2, 2019, Robert J. Rosenblatt, our Chief Executive Officer, was terminated from his position as an officer and employee of our company and was entitled to receive the payments set forth in his employment agreement. Mr. Rosenblatt remained a member of our board of directors until October 1, 2019. On May 2, 2019, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, our board of directors appointed Timothy A. Peterman to serve as Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately and entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Peterman. In conjunction with these executive changes as well as other executive and management terminations made during the first nine months of fiscal 2019, we recorded charges to income totaling $87,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine-months ended November 2, 2019, which relate primarily to severance payments to be made as a result of

the executive officer and other management terminations and other direct costs associated with our 2019 executive and management transition.

Transaction, Settlement and Integration Costs

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company received $1.5 million for the sale of its claim related to the Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation class action lawsuit. This was partially offset by costs incurred related to the implementation of our ShopHQ VIP customer program and our third-party logistics service offerings of $721,000.

Net Shipped Units

The number of net shipped units (shipped units less units returned) during the fiscal 2019 third quarter decreased 17% from the prior year comparable quarter to approximately 1.6 million. For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, net shipped units

Table of Contents

decreased 23% from the prior year comparable period to 5.2 million. The decrease in net shipped units during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 was driven primarily by a decrease in consolidated net sales and by offering a higher average selling price assortment in our home & consumer electronics product category. The decrease in year-to-date net shipped units was additionally driven by offering a higher average selling price assortment in our jewelry & watches product category.

Average Selling Price

The average selling price ("ASP") per net unit was $66 in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, a 5% increase from the prior year quarter. The increase in the third quarter ASP was primarily driven by a mix shift into jewelry & watches from our fashion & accessories category and an ASP increase in our home & consumer electronics category. For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, the ASP was $65, a 12% increase from the prior year comparable period. The increase in the year-to-date ASP was primarily driven by a mix shift into jewelry & watches from our fashion & accessories category, combined with ASP increases in our jewelry & watches and home & consumer electronics product categories.

Return Rates

For the three months ended November 2, 2019, our return rate was 19.0% compared to 19.9% for the comparable prior year quarter, a 90 basis point decrease. The decrease in the third quarter return rate was driven by return rate decreases in all product categories, primarily in our home & consumer electronics category. For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, our return rate was 19.7% compared to 19.1% for the comparable prior year period, a 60 basis point increase. The increase in the year-to-date return rate was driven primarily by a return rate increase in our beauty & wellness product category and by a sales mix shift out of the home & consumer electronics category and into our jewelry & watches category, which has a higher return rate. The increase was partially offset by a return rate decrease in our home & consumer electronics category. We continue to monitor our return rates in an effort to keep our overall return rates commensurate with our current product mix and our ASP levels.

Total Customers

Total customers who have purchased over the last twelve months decreased 10% over the prior year to approximately 1.1 million. The decrease was driven primarily by a reduction in new customers as compared to the prior year.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales, inclusive of shipping and handling revenue, for the fiscal 2019 third quarter were $115.2 million, a 12.6% decrease from consolidated net sales of $131.7 million for the comparable prior year quarter. Consolidated net sales, inclusive of shipping and handling revenue, for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were $378.2 million, a 13.9% decrease from consolidated net sales of $439.0 million for the comparable prior year period.

The decreases in quarterly and year-to-date consolidated net sales were driven by decreases in all product categories, primarily in our fashion & accessories and home & consumer electronics product categories. Consolidated net sales from fashion & accessories and home & consumer electronics decreased as a result of reduced productivity, airtime and an overall softness in these product categories. Net sales from beauty & wellness and jewelry & watches decreased compared to the prior year quarter as a result of reduced productivity. However, jewelry & watches continues to be our most productive category. Our digital sales penetration, or, the percentage of net sales that are generated from our website and mobile platforms, which are primarily ordered directly online, was 51.6% and 52.5% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to 51.9% and 52.5% in the comparable prior year periods of fiscal 2018. Overall, we continue to deliver strong digital sales penetration. Our mobile penetration increased to 57.7% and 58.3% of total digital orders in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 versus 55.4% and 53.4% of total digital orders for the comparable prior year periods.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $41.6 million, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 12%, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was approximately $126.6 million, a decrease of $33.7 million, or 21%, compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The decrease in gross profit during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 was primarily driven by the decrease in net sales, lower gross profit percentages experienced in the beauty & wellness category during the first half of fiscal 2019 and a first quarter non-cash inventory impairment write-down of $6.1 million. The non-cash inventory impairment write-down was the result of the new planned shift in our airtime and merchandise mix into higher margin categories, such as jewelry & watches and beauty & wellness and out of home and fashion & accessories and to liquidate excess inventory in the fashion and home product categories. Gross margin percentages for the third quarters of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 were 36.1% and 35.8%, which represent a 30 basis point increase. The increase in the gross margin percentage reflects increased margin rates, partially offset by merchandise mix pressure into product categories with lower margins. Gross margin percentages for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 were 33.5% and 36.5%, which represent a 300 basis point decrease. The decrease in the gross margin percentage reflects the inventory write-down and decreased margin rates,

primarily in our beauty & wellness category. The decrease in beauty & wellness reflects a mix shift within the product category to brands with lower margins.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the fiscal 2019 third quarter were approximately $47.4 million compared to $55.5 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of 15%. Total operating expenses for the first nine months ended November 2, 2019 were $161.9 million compared to $169.7 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease of 4.6%. Total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales were 41.2% and 42.8% during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019, compared to 42.2% and 38.7% during the comparable prior year periods of fiscal 2018. Total operating expenses for the fiscal 2019 third quarter included restructuring costs of $1.5 million, rebranding costs of $554,000 and executive and management transition costs of $87,000, while total operating expenses for the fiscal 2018 third quarter included executive and management transition costs of $408,000. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 included restructuring costs of $6.7 million, executive and management transition costs of $2.4 million and rebranding costs of $792,000, while total operating expenses for the nine months ended November 3, 2018 included executive and management transition costs of $1.4 million. Excluding restructuring costs and executive and management transition costs, total operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 were 39.8% and 40.4%, compared to 41.9% and 38.4% for fiscal 2018.

Distribution and selling expense decreased $9.0 million, or 19%, to $38.3 million, or 33.3% of net sales during the fiscal 2019 third quarter compared to $47.3 million, or 36.0% of net sales for the comparable prior year fiscal quarter. Distribution and selling expense decreased during the quarter due to decreased program distribution expense of $2.9 million, decreased variable costs of $2.3 million, a $1.5 million gain related to proceeds on the sale of our claim related to the Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation class action lawsuit, decreased salaries and benefits of $1.5 million, decreased online selling and search fees of $389,000, decreased accrued incentive compensation of $250,000, decreased production expense of $212,000 and decreased share-based compensation expense of $136,000, partially offset by integration costs of $383,000 relating to the start-up of our third-party logistics business and the launch of our customer program, called ShopHQ VIP. The decrease in variable costs was primarily driven by decreased variable fulfillment and customer service salaries and wages of $1.1 million, decreased variable credit card processing fees and bad debt credit expense of $978,000 and decreased customer services telecommunications service expense of $137,000. Total variable expenses during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 were approximately 9.8% of total net sales versus 10.3% of total net sales for the prior year comparable period. The 50 basis point decrease was primarily driven by the sales mix shift into higher ASP categories of jewelry & watches, which reduces our expense rate. Variable expense dollars for the quarter declined as a result of decreases in net sales and net shipped units, as well as we continue to find efficiencies through process and technology.

Distribution and selling expense decreased $15.5 million, or 11%, to $128.7 million, or 34.0% of net sales during the nine months ended November 2, 2019 compared to $144.2 million, or 32.9% of net sales for the comparable prior year period. Distribution and selling expense decreased during the first nine months due to decreased variable costs of $4.7 million, decreased program distribution expense of $4.0 million, decreased salaries and benefits of $3.2 million, a $1.5 million gain related to proceeds on the sale of our claim related to the Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation class action lawsuit, decreased accrued incentive compensation of $957,000, decreased share-based compensation expense of $384,000, decreased production expense of $370,000, decreased online selling and search fees of $327,000, and decreased software service fees of $204,000, partially offset by integration costs of $383,000 relating to the start-up of our third-party logistics business and launch of our customer program, called ShopHQ VIP. The decrease in variable costs was primarily driven by decreased variable fulfillment and customer service salaries and wages of $2.4 million, decreased variable credit card processing fees and bad debt credit expense of $1.9 million and decreased customer services telecommunications service expense of $249,000. Total variable expenses during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 were approximately 9.7% of total net sales versus 9.5% for the prior year comparable period. The 20 basis point increase reflects the deleveraging of our fulfillment, credit, and customer solution expense categories. Variable expense dollars for the first nine months declined as a result of decreases in net sales and net shipped units, as well as we continue to find efficiencies through process and technology.

To the extent that our ASP changes, our variable expense as a percentage of net sales could be impacted as the number of our shipped units change. Program distribution expense is primarily a fixed cost per household, however, this expense may be impacted by changes in the number of average homes or channels reached or by rate changes associated with changes in our channel position with carriers.

General and administrative expense for the fiscal 2019 third quarter decreased $799,000, or 13%, to $5.4 million or 4.7% of net sales, compared to $6.2 million or 4.7% of net sales for the comparable prior year fiscal quarter. General and administrative expense decreased during the third quarter primarily as a result of decreased salaries of $998,000, decreased share-based compensation expense of $378,000, decreased accrued incentive compensation of $158,000, and decreased telecommunications expense of $136,000, partially offset by increased rebranding costs of $554,000 and transaction fees of $337,000. For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, general and administrative expense decreased $1.6 million, or 8%, to $17.8 million or 4.7% of

net sales, compared to $19.5 million or 4.4% of net sales for the comparable prior year period. For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, general and administrative expense decreased primarily as a result of decreased salaries of $1.6 million, decreased share-based compensation expense of $489,000, decreased accrued incentive compensation of $439,000, decreased telecommunications expense of $276,000 and decreased travel expense of $113,000, partially offset by increased rebranding costs of $792,000, increased professional fees of $369,000 and transaction fees of $337,000.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the fiscal 2019 third quarter increased $466,000, or 29%, to $2.1 million compared to $1.6 million for the comparable prior year period. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of net sales for the three-month periods ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 was 1.8% and 1.2%. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 increased $1.6 million, or 33%, to $6.2 million compared to $4.7 million for the comparable prior year period. Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of net sales for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018 was 1.7% and 1.1%. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 was primarily due to accelerated amortization expense of the Evine trademark prospectively over its revised remaining useful life through August 21, 2019. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months ended November 2, 2019 was also due to increased depreciation expense of $198,000 and $392,000 resulting from an average net increase in our non-fulfillment depreciable asset base year over year.

Operating Loss

For the fiscal 2019 third quarter, we reported an operating loss of approximately $5.8 million compared to an operating loss of $8.4 million for the fiscal 2018 third quarter. For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, we reported an operating loss of approximately $35.3 million compared to an operating loss of $9.5 million for the comparable prior year period. For the third quarter of fiscal 2019, our operating loss improved primarily as a result of decreases in distribution and selling expense, general and administrative expense, and executive and management transition costs. The improvement in our operating loss was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit driven by decreases in consolidated net sales, restructuring costs of $1.5 million, and an increase in depreciation and amortization expense. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, our operating loss increased primarily as a result of a decrease in gross profit driven by decreases in consolidated net sales and margin rates, a non-cash inventory write-down of $6.1 million, restructuring costs of $6.7 million, and increases in depreciation and amortization expense and executive and management transition costs. The increase in our operating loss was partially offset by decreases in distribution and selling expense and general and administrative expense.

Net Loss

For the fiscal 2019 third quarter, we reported a net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.09 per share, on 75,770,277 weighted average basic common shares outstanding compared with a net loss of $9.2 million, or $0.14 per share, on 66,351,835 weighted average basic common shares outstanding in the fiscal 2018 third quarter. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, we reported a net loss of $37.9 million or $0.52 per share on 72,863,795 weighted average basic common shares outstanding compared with a net loss of $12.2 million or $0.18 per share on 65,907,301 weighted average basic common shares outstanding in the first nine months of fiscal 2018. The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 includes restructuring costs of $1.5 million; rebranding costs of $554,000; executive and management transition costs of $87,000; interest expense of $914,000; and transaction, settlement and integrations costs, net, totaling $(804,000). The net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 included executive and management transition costs of $408,000; transaction, settlement and integrations costs of $395,000; and interest expense of $767,000.

The net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 includes restructuring costs of $6.7 million; a non-cash inventory write-down of $6.1 million; executive and management transition costs of $2.4 million; rebranding costs of $792,000; interest expense of $2.6 million; and transaction, settlement and integrations costs, net, totaling $(804,000). The net loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 includes executive and management transition costs of $1.4 million; transaction, settlement and integrations costs of $1.1 million; and interest expense of $2.7 million.

For the third quarters of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, the net loss reflects an income tax provision of $14,000 and $20,000. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, the net loss reflects an income tax provision of $44,000 and $60,000. The income tax provision for these periods relates to state income taxes payable on certain income for which there is no loss carryforward benefit available. We have not recorded any income tax benefit on previously recorded net losses due to the uncertainty of realizing income tax benefits in the future as indicated by our recording of an income tax valuation allowance. Based on our recent history of losses, a full valuation allowance has been recorded and was calculated in accordance with GAAP, which places primary importance on our most recent operating results when assessing the need for a valuation allowance. We will continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets, including those related to net operating loss carryforwards, until we believe it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized in the future.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation

Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) for the fiscal 2019 third quarter was $(986,000) compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $(4.2) million for the fiscal 2018 third quarter. For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA was $(9.2) million compared with Adjusted EBITDA of $3.0 million for the comparable prior year period.

A reconciliation of the comparable GAAP measure, net loss, to Adjusted EBITDA follows, in thousands:

		For the Three-Month								For the Nine-Month
		Periods Ended								Periods Ended

Adjusted EBITDA (a)		$	(986	)		$	(4,225	)		$	(9,249	)		$	2,967

(a) EBITDA as defined for this statistical presentation represents net loss for the respective periods excluding depreciation and amortization expense, interest income (expense) and income taxes. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding non-operating gains (losses); restructuring costs; executive and management transition costs; rebranding costs; non-cash impairment charges and write downs; transaction, settlement and integration costs, net; and non-cash share-based compensation expense.

(b) Transaction, settlement and integration costs, net, for the three and nine-month periods ended November 2, 2019 includes a $1.5 million gain for the sale of our claim related to the Payment Card Interchange Fee and Merchant Discount Antitrust Litigation class action lawsuit, partially offset by costs incurred related to the implementation of our ShopHQ VIP customer program and our third-party logistics service offerings of $721,000. Transaction, settlement and integration costs, net, for the three and nine-month periods ended November 3, 2018 includes contract termination costs of $0 and $753,000. In addition, the three and nine-month periods ended November 3, 2018 includes business development and expansion costs of $395,000.

We have included the term "Adjusted EBITDA" in our EBITDA reconciliation in order to adequately assess the operating performance of our video and digital businesses and in order to maintain comparability to our analyst’s coverage and financial guidance, when given. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA allows investors to make a meaningful comparison between our core business operating results over different periods of time with those of other similar companies. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a metric measure to evaluate operating performance under our management and executive incentive compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be construed as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to seasonal fluctuation, with the highest sales activity normally occurring during our fourth fiscal quarter of the year, namely November through January. Our business is also sensitive to general economic conditions and business conditions affecting consumer spending. Additionally, our television audience (and therefore sales revenue) can be significantly impacted by major world or domestic television-covering events which attract television viewership and divert audience attention away from our programming.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of the critical accounting policies related to accounting estimates and assumptions are discussed in detail in our fiscal 2018 annual report on Form 10-K under the caption entitled "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates."

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 - “Basis of Financial Statement Presentation” in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of November 2, 2019, we had cash of $16.6 million. In addition, under the PNC Credit Facility (as defined below), we are required to maintain a minimum of $10 million of unrestricted cash plus unused line availability at all times. As of February 2, 2019, we had cash of $20.5 million and had restricted cash equivalents of $450,000. For the first nine months of fiscal 2019, working capital decreased $30.3 million to $50.7 million (see "Cash Requirements" below for additional information on changes in working capital accounts). The current ratio (our total current assets over total current liabilities) was 1.4 at November 2, 2019 and 1.8 at February 2, 2019.

Sources of Liquidity

Our principal source of liquidity is our available cash and our additional borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A. ("PNC"), a member of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. As of November 2, 2019, we had cash of $16.6 million and additional borrowing capacity of $6.3 million. Our cash was held in bank depository accounts primarily for the preservation of cash liquidity.

PNC Credit Facility

On February 9, 2012, we entered into a credit and security agreement (as amended through November 25, 2019, the "PNC Credit Facility") with PNC, as lender and agent. The PNC Credit Facility, which includes CIBC Bank USA (formerly known as The Private Bank) as part of the facility, provides a revolving line of credit of $90.0 million and provides for a term loan on which we had originally drawn to fund improvements at our distribution facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky and to partially pay down our previously outstanding term loan with GACP Finance Co., LLC. The PNC Credit Facility also provides for an accordion feature that would allow us to expand the size of the revolving line of credit by an additional $25.0 million at the discretion of the lenders and upon certain conditions being met. On November 25, 2019, we entered into the Eleventh Amendment to the PNC Credit Facility, as described in Note 18 - "Subsequent Events". The Eleventh Amendment, among other things, increased the interest rate margins on both the revolving line of credit and term loan.

All borrowings under the PNC Credit Facility mature and are payable on July 27, 2023. Subject to certain conditions, the PNC Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount up to $6.0 million which, upon issuance, would be deemed advances under the PNC Credit Facility. Maximum borrowings and available capacity under the revolving line of credit under the PNC Credit Facility are equal to the lesser of $90.0 million or a calculated borrowing base comprised of eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory.

The revolving line of credit under the PNC Credit Facility bears interest at either a Base Rate or LIBOR plus a margin consisting of between 2% and 3% on Base Rate advances and 3% and 4.5% on LIBOR advances based on our trailing twelve-month reported leverage ratio (as defined in the PNC Credit Facility) measured semi-annually as demonstrated in our financial statements. The term loan bears interest at either a Base Rate or LIBOR plus a margin consisting of between 4% and 5% on Base Rate term loans and 5% to 6% on LIBOR Rate term loans based on our leverage ratio measured annually as demonstrated in our audited financial statements.

As of November 2, 2019, we had borrowings of $53.9 million under our revolving line of credit. As of November 2, 2019, the term loan under the PNC Credit Facility had $15.6 million outstanding, of which $2.5 million was classified as current in the accompanying balance sheet. Remaining available capacity under the revolving credit facility as of November 2, 2019 was approximately $6.3 million, which provides liquidity for working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, as of

Table of Contents

November 2, 2019, our unrestricted cash plus unused line availability was $22.9 million, we were in compliance with applicable financial covenants of the PNC Credit Facility and expect to be in compliance with applicable financial covenants over the next twelve months.

Principal borrowings under the term loan are to be payable in monthly installments over an 84-month amortization period commencing on September 1, 2018 and are also subject to mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, upon receipt of certain proceeds from dispositions of collateral. Borrowings under the term loan are also subject to mandatory prepayment in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of excess cash flow for such fiscal year, with any such payment not to exceed $2.0 million in any such fiscal year.

The PNC Credit Facility contains customary covenants and conditions, including, among other things, maintaining a minimum of unrestricted cash plus unused line availability of $10.0 million at all times and limiting annual capital expenditures. Certain financial covenants, including minimum EBITDA levels (as defined in the PNC Credit Facility) and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0, become applicable only if unrestricted cash plus unused line availability falls below $10.8 million. In addition, the PNC Credit Facility places restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or prepay existing indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, to merge or consolidate with other entities, and to make certain restricted payments, including payments of dividends to common shareholders.

Private Placement Securities Purchase Agreement

On May 2, 2019, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors to which we: (a) sold, in the aggregate, 8,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.75 per share and (b) issued 5-year Warrants to purchase 3,500,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The 5-year Warrants are exercisable in whole or in part from time to time through the expiration date of May 2, 2024. The Company received gross proceeds of $6.0 million and incurred approximately $175,000 of issuance costs. We have used the proceeds for general working capital purposes.

Other

Our ValuePay program is an installment payment program which allows customers to pay by credit card for certain merchandise in two or more equal monthly installments. Another potential source of near-term liquidity is our ability to increase our cash flow resources by reducing the percentage of our sales offered under our ValuePay installment program or by decreasing the length of time we extend credit to our customers under this installment program. However, any such change to the terms of our ValuePay installment program could impact future sales, particularly for products sold with higher price points. Please see "Cash Requirements" below for further discussion of our ValuePay installment program.

Cash Requirements

Currently, our principal cash requirements are to fund our business operations, which consist primarily of purchasing inventory for resale, funding ValuePay installment receivables, funding our basic operating expenses, particularly our contractual commitments for cable and satellite programming distribution, and the funding of necessary capital expenditures. We closely manage our cash resources and our working capital. We attempt to manage our inventory receipts and reorders in order to ensure our inventory investment levels remain commensurate with our current sales trends. We also monitor the collection of our credit card and ValuePay installment receivables and manage our vendor payment terms in order to more effectively manage our working capital which includes matching cash receipts from our customers, to the extent possible, with related cash payments to our vendors. ValuePay remains a cost-effective promotional tool for us. We continue to make strategic use of our ValuePay program in an effort to increase sales and to respond to similar competitive programs.

We also have significant future commitments for our cash, primarily payments for cable and satellite program distribution obligations and the eventual repayment of our credit facility. During fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2019, we experienced a decline in customers and lost a significant brand which contributed to a decrease in our consolidated net sales and corresponding decrease in profitability. Additionally, our stock price has declined and is currently trading below $1.00 and as a result, we have received a notification that we are out of compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. On July 16, 2019, we received approval from the Nasdaq Stock Market to transfer the listing of our common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, which provides for an additional 180-day grace period, or until January 13, 2020, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. On November 25, 2019, we announced we will implement a ten-for-one reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, effective at 5:00 p.m., Central Time, on December 11, 2019, which we expect will bring us into compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. We have taken or are taking the following steps to enhance our operations and liquidity position: entered into a private placement securities purchase agreement in which we received gross proceeds of $6.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2019, implemented a reduction in overhead costs with $17 million in expected annualized savings, primarily driven by a 20% reduction in our non-variable work force; planned a reduction in capital expenditures compared to prior years; managed our inventory levels commensurate with our sales; launched a new marquee beauty brand in January 2019; launched our ShopHQ VIP customer program; entered into an agreement with Shaquille O'Neal, which

includes the launch of a new live televised program in 2020, "In the Kitchen with Shaq" and the development of a Shaq branded collection of kitchenware, cookware and grill products; launched Bulldog Shopping Network, a niche television shopping network geared towards male consumers in November 2019; partnered with well-known personalities to develop and market exclusive lifestyle brands; and acquired Float Left Interactive, Inc. ("Float Left") and J.W. Hulme Company ("J.W. Hulme"). Float Left is a business comprised of connected TVs, video-based content, application development and distribution, including technical consulting services, software development and maintenance related to video distribution. The Company plans to utilize Float Left’s team and technology platform to further grow its content delivery capabilities in OTT platforms while providing new revenue opportunities. J.W. Hulme is a business specializing in artisan-crafted leather products, including handbags and luggage. We plan to accelerate J.W. Hulme's revenue growth by creating its own programming on ShopHQ. Additionally, we plan to utilize J.W. Hulme to craft private-label accessories for the Company's existing owned and operated fashion brands. Our ability to fund operations and capital expenditures in the future will be dependent on our ability to generate cash flow from operations, maintain or improve margins, decrease the rate of decline in our sales and to use available funds from our PNC Credit Facility. Our ability to borrow funds is dependent on our ability to maintain an adequate borrowing base and our ability to meet our credit facility's covenants, which requires, among other things, maintaining a minimum of $10 million of unrestricted cash plus facility availability at all times. Accordingly, if we do not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, and our cash reserves are depleted, we may need to take further actions, such as reducing or delaying capital investments, strategic investments or other actions. We believe that our existing cash balances, together with our availability under the PNC Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our normal business operations over the next twelve months from the issuance of this report. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our strategic initiatives or obtain additional funding on favorable terms in the future which could have a significant adverse effect on our operations.

For the nine months ended November 2, 2019, net cash used for operating activities totaled $2.8 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $11.1 million for the comparable fiscal 2018 period. Net cash (used for) provided by operating activities for the fiscal 2019 and 2018 periods reflects a net loss, as adjusted for depreciation and amortization, share-based payment compensation, inventory impairment write-down, amortization of deferred revenue and amortization of deferred financing costs. In addition, net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 reflects decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses, and increases in inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Accounts receivable primarily decreased during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 as a result of collections made on outstanding receivables balances resulting from our seasonal high fourth quarter and a decrease in sales. Inventories increased as a result of planned purchases in support of our fourth quarter anticipated sales levels. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 primarily due to an increase in inventory payables as a result of higher inventory levels and the timing of payments made to vendors, an increase in accrued cable distribution fees and an increase in accrued severance resulting from our 2019 cost optimization initiative and 2019 executive and management transition. The increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities was partially offset by a decrease in freight payables and a decrease in our merchandise return liability.

Net cash used for investing activities totaled $5.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 compared to net cash used for investing activities of $6.7 million for the comparable fiscal 2018 period. For the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, expenditures for property and equipment were approximately $5.4 million and $6.7 million. Capital expenditures made during the periods presented relate primarily to expenditures made for the upgrades in our customer service call routing technology; development, upgrade and replacement of computer software, order management, merchandising and warehouse management systems; related computer equipment, digital broadcasting equipment, and other office equipment; warehouse equipment and production equipment. Principal future capital expenditures are expected to include: the development, upgrade and replacement of various enterprise software systems; equipment improvements and technology upgrades at our distribution facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky; security upgrades to our information technology; the upgrade of television production and transmission equipment; and related computer equipment associated with the expansion of our television shopping business and digital commerce initiatives.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $3.8 million for the nine months ended November 2, 2019 and related primarily to proceeds from the PNC revolving loan of $160.4 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $6.0 million, offset by principal payments on the PNC revolving loan of $160.4 million, principal payments on our PNC term loan of $2.0 million, payments for common stock issuance costs of $109,000, finance lease payments of $46,000 and tax payments for restricted stock unit issuances of $21,000. Net cash used for financing activities totaled $4.9 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2018 and related primarily to principal payments on the PNC revolving loan of $186.1 million, principal payments on our PNC term loan of $1.6 million, tax payments for restricted stock unit issuances of $130,000, payments for deferred financing costs of $96,000 and finance lease payments of $4,000, offset by proceeds from the PNC revolving loan of $177.1 million, proceeds from the PNC term loan of $5.8 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $181,000.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments as a hedge to offset market risk. Our operations are conducted primarily in the United States and are not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. Some of our products are sourced internationally and may fluctuate in cost as a result of foreign currency swings; however, we believe these fluctuations have not been significant. Our credit facility has exposure to interest rate risk. Changes in market interest rates could impact the level of interest expense and income earned on our cash portfolio.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Based on 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 reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
