Organization and Line of Business	NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS Cool Holdings, Inc. (“Cool Holdings,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) was incorporated in February 1994 in the state of California under the name InfoSonics Corporation (“InfoSonics”) and reincorporated in September 2003 in the state of Maryland. InfoSonics was in the business of sourcing and selling Android-based cell phones and tablets under its verykool^® proprietary brand name to big-box retailers and distributors throughout Latin America. In March 2018, InfoSonics merged with Cooltech Holding Corp. (“Cooltech”) (the “Merger” or “Cooltech Merger”). As discussed in Note 17, because of the change of control that resulted from the Merger, it was treated as a reverse merger with Cooltech deemed to be acquiring InfoSonics for accounting purposes. Therefore, the Company’s historical financial statements prior to the Merger reflect those of Cooltech. In June 2018, InfoSonics changed its name to Cool Holdings. Subsequent to the Merger, the Company adopted the strategy of Cooltech and worked to wind down the legacy verykool business, which it discontinued by December 31, 2018. The operating results of the verykool business have been classified as a discontinued operation in the 2018 financial statements. Cool Holdings is now focused on its primary business as an Apple^® Partner. Currently, our business is comprised of two reportable segments: (1) OneClick^®, our chain of 16 retail consumer electronics stores authorized under the Apple^® Premier Partner, APR (Apple^® Premium Reseller) and AAR MB (Apple^® Authorized Reseller Mono-Brand) programs, and (2) Cooltech Distribution, an authorized distributor to the OneClick^® stores and other resellers of Apple^® products and other consumer electronic brands. Geographically, our 16 OneClick stores are located as follows: 7 in the Dominican Republic, 6 in Argentina, and 3 in Florida in the U.S.
