(“Merger Sub”), Cooltech merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Cooltech surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As discussed in Note 18, 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.

Simply Mac operates on a 52-53 fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31^st. Simply Mac’s fiscal September ended on October 5, 2019, and its results for the period from September 26^th through October 5^th are consolidated into the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On May 16, 2018, the Center for Audit Quality in the United States categorized Argentina as an economy with a projected three-year cumulative inflation rate greater than 100%. As a consequence, beginning July 1, 2018, the Company has transitioned its Argentine operations to “highly inflationary” status which requires the Company to record foreign exchange gains or losses in the Argentine peso through its income statement rather than through the other comprehensive loss account on its balance sheet.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and these condensed notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates, but management does not believe such differences will materially affect the financial position or results of operations of Cool Holdings, Inc., formerly known as InfoSonics Corporation (the “Company”), although they may. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and condensed notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year.

On March 12, 2018, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Cooltech Holding Corp. (“Cooltech”), and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, InfoSonics Acquisition Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Cooltech merged with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Cooltech surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As discussed in Note 18, 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.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company completed the closure of the verykool business segment that had been the legacy business of InfoSonics prior to the Merger. The historical results of the verykool segment are reported as discontinued operations in the unaudited financial statements for all periods from the merger through September 30, 2019.

On September 25, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Simply Mac, Inc. (“Simply Mac”) in a stock transaction, after which Simply Mac became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (see Note 21). Consequently, the results of Simply Mac for the period subsequent to the acquisition are included in the Company’s September 30, 2019 consolidated financial statements. Simply Mac operates on a 52-53 fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to January 31^st. Simply Mac’s fiscal September ended on October 5, 2019, and its results for the period from September 26^th through October 5^th are consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets, liabilities and operating results of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2019, and the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for all periods presented. The results reported in these consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results, financial condition or cash flows that may be expected for the full fiscal year of 2019 or for any future period.

At September 30, 2019, six of the Company’s sixteen OneClick retail stores were located in Argentina. The inflation rate in Argentina increased dramatically in the latter part of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018. On May 16, 2018, the Center for Audit Quality in the United States categorized Argentina as an economy with a projected three-year cumulative inflation rate greater than 100%.
