Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this annual report on Form 10-K constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements involve known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may or may not be outside our control and that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Specifically, the actions of competitors, suppliers, customers and the OTCQX® Best Market (the “OTCQX”) are generally outside of our control. Our ability to execute our business plans and to increase revenues and operating income are each dependent upon our ability to continue to expand our current businesses and to enter new business areas, as well as upon general economic conditions and other factors, including some of the factors identified as “Risk Factors” in this annual report and from time to time in our other SEC filings. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continues,” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or continued market listing. We do not intend to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, unless required by law.

In this annual report on Form 10-K, “Simply,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Simply, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context otherwise provides.

PART I

Item 1. | Business

Company Overview and Developments

Simply, Inc.’s business is currently centered on its wholly owned subsidiary, Simply Mac, Inc. (“Simply Mac”), and its relationship with Apple® as an Apple Premier Partner authorized to operate retail consumer electronics stores that sell the entire line of Apple products and provide service by Apple-certified technicians. As of January 29, 2022, Simply Mac had 53 retail stores across 17 states in the United States.

We incorporated under the laws of the State of California on February 7, 1994, under the name InfoSonics Corporation. On September 11, 2003, we reincorporated under the same name under the laws of and into the State of Maryland. Our corporate headquarters are in Miami, Florida, with the administrative office of Simply Mac located in Salt Lake City, Utah. On June 8, 2018, we changed our name to Cool Holdings, Inc., and on October 14, 2020, changed our name to Simply, Inc.

Our fiscal year is composed of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. Fiscal year 2022 consisted of the 52 weeks ended on January 29, 2022. Fiscal year 2021 consisted of the 52 weeks ended on January 30, 2021.

We also formerly operated other businesses, which have since been sold or discontinued. We had a wholly owned subsidiary that operated 7 retail consumer electronics stores as Apple Premier Partners under the OneClick name in the Dominican Republic that was sold on April 6, 2020. It has been classified as a discontinued operation in our consolidated financial statements. Cooltech Distribution, a subsidiary that formerly distributed various consumer electronics to resellers, retailers and small and medium-sized businesses, was wound down by August 1, 2020.

During March 2020, we restructured substantially all of our then remaining outstanding debt. At February 1, 2020, the principal amount of our outstanding debt amounted to $16.4 million. After the March restructuring, our outstanding debt was reduced by $14.6 million through a combination of debt forgiveness and conversion into common stock, leaving $1.8 million outstanding with extended maturity dates.

On April 16, 2020, we received a $3.1 million loan pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020 (“CARES Act”). On October 19, 2020, we filed a forgiveness application in which we certified that 100% of the funds were spent on qualified payroll and related costs and requested that the entire principal balance be forgiven. The application was approved by the lender and the SBA, and the loan and accrued interest were extinguished on August 17, 2021.

Effective October 14, 2020, we executed a one-for-ten reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock. All share and per share numbers in this annual report have been retroactively restated to account for the reverse split.

On March 10, 2021, the Company secured a second-draw, $2,000,000, 1.0%, 5-year loan from the Lender pursuant to the PPP. No payments are due on this loan until the earlier of: (a) the date on which the amount of loan forgiveness determined under the CARES Act is remitted to the Lender by the SBA, (b) the date that the SBA advises Lender that all or part of the loan has not been forgiven, provided that the Company has applied for forgiveness within 10 months of the end of the forgiveness period of the loan or (c) if the Borrower fails to apply for forgiveness by the end of the forgiveness period, a date that is not earlier than the date that is 10 months after the last day of the forgiveness period. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the CARES Act, on October 28, 2021, the Company filed its forgiveness application with the Lender. The Company certified in the application that 100% of the loaned funds were utilized during the 22-week covered period commencing March 10, 2021 to pay for qualified payroll and payroll-related costs, and as such, requested that the entire principal balance be forgiven. The application is subject to review by both the Lender and the SBA, after which the Company will be notified as to whether the application is approved. If the application is denied or partially approved, the Company will be required to make equal monthly payments to fully amortize any remaining balance by March 10, 2026.

Between July and November 2021, the Company issued f ive individual six-month, 9%, unsecured convertible note s for an aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 and warrant s exercisable into an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company to SOL Global Investments Corp. (“SOL Global”). SOL Global is an affiliate of the Company and owns more than 10% of its outstanding common stock. The principal and unpaid accrued interest on the notes are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at $2.50 per share and the warrant s are exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance and expire 42 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. Upon maturity of the first note on January 6, 2022, SOL Global converted the entire $1,000,000 principal amount of the note and accrued interest into 418,000 shares of common stock of the Company. Subsequent to January 29, 2022, the remaining notes were each extended without interest for one year.

During August and September 2021, the Company raised an aggregate of $2,000,000 in four private placements of the Company’s common stock of $500,000 each to SOL Verano Blocker 1 LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SOL Global. The shares of the Company’s common stock were sold at the closing market price on the funding dates, and the Company sold an aggregate of 575,527 shares of its common stock at an average price of $3.48 per share in the private placements.

Reportable Segments and Geographic Areas

We currently operate our business in a single segment in the United States through our Simply Mac retail stores. We previously operated a second segment through our Cooltech Distribution business, but this unit was wound down by August 1, 2020, and its results of operations were immaterial.

Store Operations, Merchandise and Seasonality

As an Apple Premier Partner, we work with Apple to develop our network of Simply Mac stores in locations and markets where Apple has limited or no presence. Our stores are generally located in high-traffic or local neighborhood strip centers or shopping malls. In our stores, we sell Apple and Apple-approved products and accessories, including accessories that we source from independent third parties. We also provide repair service for Apple products performed by our Apple-certified employee technicians. Retail customers may book a repair appointment at one of our SimplyMac stores either through our website or, alternatively, through the Apple website. Our Simply Mac business, like that of many retailers, is seasonal, with a large portion of our sales and operating profit realized during the fourth calendar quarter of the year.

Purchasing and Suppliers

The majority of our product purchases are of Apple products, which we buy both directly from Apple as well as from a tier‑one distributor facilitated by our license agreement with Apple. We also have direct relationships with certain accessory manufacturers and purchase other accessories from distributors. We believe that maintaining and strengthening our relationships with Apple and our other vendors is essential to our operations and continued expansion.

Competition

The consumer electronics and accessory industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid changes in consumer preferences and frequent new product introductions. We compete with mass merchants such as Best Buy, Costco, Wal-Mart and Target, and regional chains; specialty computer product and consumer electronics stores; and online retailers such as Amazon. We also compete with Apple-owned stores and Apple’s online store.

Sustainability

We are committed to sustainability and to operating our business in a manner that results in a positive impact to the environment and our communities. Through our trade-in programs, we buy back or take in used consumer electronics that are otherwise destined for landfills and either refurbish them or recycle them. In addition, we continuously look for cost-effective ways to reduce our carbon emissions.

Employees

As of January 29, 2022, we had 352 full-time salaried employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or are members of a collective bargaining unit.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors

The following risks and uncertainties, as well as other factors described elsewhere in this annual report or in other SEC filings by the Company, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We sustained significant operating losses in the last two years. If we are unable to achieve sustained profitability, our business may not be financially viable.

For the fiscal years ended January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, we reported operating losses of $12.5 million and $8.8 million, respectively. As of January 29, 2022, our balance of cash and restricted cash was $3.1 million, but we had negative net working capital of $8.2 million. In addition, at January 29, 2022, our total liabilities exceeded our total assets and we had an accumulated stockholders’ deficit of $6.0 million. While we have plans designed to attain and maintain profitability, if we do not succeed, our business might continue to experience losses and may not be sustainable in the future. Consequently, as discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements, we have substantial doubt that we could remain independent and continue as a going concern if we are not able to raise additional capital and/or refinance or restructure our existing debt and achieve positive cash flows from operations.

The coronavirus outbreak has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak a pandemic which spread throughout North America and worldwide. The health and safety of our customers and employees remain our top priority as we continue to make decisions during this rapidly evolving situation. We have taken decisive actions across our businesses to help protect employees, customers and others in the communities we serve. Beginning March 18, 2020, we were forced to close 12 of our 44 Simply Mac stores, primarily due to forced closures by mall operators where our stores were located. Although our remaining stores were allowed to stay open under local or state definitions of “essential businesses” providing products and repair services enabling remote workforces and student education, sales at those stores were significantly curtailed. We imposed store directives including cleanliness and mask requirements, as well as maximum customer limitations to facilitate social distancing. Store sales were also negatively impacted by intermittent shortages in the supply chain of Apple products from our primary distributor. As a consequence of all these conditions, we took immediate action to reduce our store operations from 7 days per week to 5 days and from 11 hours per day to 8 hours. In concert with this action, we were forced to reduce our store workforce by approximately 50%.

Starting in May 2020, we gradually began reopening stores, and by December 2020 all of our stores were open. Store hours were also gradually increased, but remain stunted compared to pre-COVID-19 operations. During 2021, customer traffic in our stores remained depressed compared to 2019 levels, and Apple supply chain shortages have continued into 2022 on certain Apple products. The arrival of the Omicron variant in the United States in early December 2021 again impacted our operations as we had sporadic store closures resulting from staff members who became infected and were required to quarantine. In summary, the COVID-19 outbreak has had a material adverse impact on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations, and continues to negatively affect us. We cannot foresee whether the outbreak of COVID‑19 will be effectively contained, nor can we predict the severity and duration of its impact. As such, the ultimate impact of the pandemic to our businesses remains highly uncertain and we continue to monitor its financial impact.

Our business is highly dependent on a single supplier and a loss of that supplier or a deterioration of our relationship with them could significantly reduce our sales and profitability and jeopardize our business model.

Our business is highly dependent upon Apple as a supplier of Apple products that are sold in our Simply Mac stores. In addition, the growth of our business is highly dependent upon our relationship with Apple in providing us with the approvals necessary to open new stores in the future. Apple has very strict performance standards and guidelines that we must achieve and adhere to in order to be successful and continue to receive their support. Consequently, any deterioration of our performance or failure to adhere to their guidelines could jeopardize our strategy and adversely affect our financial performance.

4

We depend on the timely delivery of new and innovative products from our vendors.

We depend on manufacturers, including Apple, to deliver our products in quantities sufficient to meet customer demand. In addition, we depend on these manufacturers to introduce new and innovative products to drive industry sales. Any material delay in the introduction or delivery, or limited allocations, of our products could result in reduced sales.

If our vendors fail to provide marketing and merchandising support at historical levels, our sales and earnings could be negatively impacted.

The manufacturers of our products have typically provided retailers with significant marketing and merchandising support for their products. As part of this support, we receive cooperative advertising and market development payments from our vendors, which enables us to actively promote and merchandise the products we sell and drive sales at our stores and on our websites. We cannot assure you that vendors will continue to provide this support at historical levels. If they fail to do so, our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted.

We have made and may make acquisitions which could negatively impact our business if we fail to successfully complete and integrate them, or if they fail to perform in accordance with our expectations.

To enhance our efforts to grow and compete, we have made and may again make acquisitions. Our plans to pursue future transactions are subject to our ability to identify potential candidates and negotiate favorable terms for these transactions. Accordingly, we cannot make assurances that future investments or acquisitions will be completed. In addition, to facilitate future transactions, we may take actions that could dilute the equity interests of our stockholders, increase our debt, or cause us to assume contingent liabilities, all of which may have a detrimental effect on the price of our common stock. Also, companies that we have acquired, and that we may acquire in the future, could have products that are in development, and there is no assurance that these products will be successfully developed. Finally, if any acquisitions are not successfully integrated with our business, or fail to perform in accordance with our expectations, our ongoing operations could be adversely affected.

Failure to effectively manage our new store openings could lower our sales and profitability.

Our sales and profitability depend in part upon opening new stores and operating them profitably. Our ability to open new stores and operate them profitably depends on a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control. These factors include the ability to:

| • | identify new store locations, negotiate suitable leases, and build out the stores in a timely and cost-efficient manner;

| • | integrate new stores into our existing operations; and

| • | increase sales at new store locations.

If we fail to manage new store openings in a timely and cost-efficient manner, our growth or profits may decrease.

If we are unable to renew or enter into new leases on favorable terms, our revenue may be adversely affected.

All of our retail stores are located on leased premises. If the cost of leasing existing stores increases, we cannot assure that we will be able to maintain our existing store locations as leases expire. In addition, we may not be able to enter into new leases on favorable terms or at all, or we may not be able to locate suitable alternative sites or additional sites for new store expansion in a timely manner. Our revenues and earnings may decline if we fail to maintain existing store locations, enter into new leases, locate alternative sites, or find additional sites for new store expansion.

If our management information systems fail to perform or are inadequate, our ability to manage our business could be disrupted.

We rely on computerized inventory and management systems to coordinate and manage the activities in our distribution center, point-of-sales systems to manage retail operations in our stores, and accounting systems to manage our finance activities. We rely upon these systems to replenish our store inventories on a weekly basis to keep them stocked at optimum levels and to manage our business finances and timely report our financial results. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, telecommunications failures, cyber-attacks, security breaches, and catastrophic events. If our inventory or management information systems fail to adequately perform their functions, our business could be adversely affected. In addition, if operations in any of our distribution centers were to shut down or be disrupted or if these centers were unable to accommodate stores in a particular region, our business and results of operations may be negatively impacted. With regard to our accounting systems, we intend to upgrade portions of our current system, and any failure in those systems could negatively impact our ability to timely report our financial results.

5

If we are unable to safeguard against security breaches with respect to our information technology systems, our business and our reputation may be adversely affected.

During the course of business, we receive, process, transmit and store confidential customer, employee, vendor and Company information through our information technology systems and those of our third-party payment processors. The protection of this information is critical, and the regulatory environment surrounding information security and privacy is demanding, with the frequent imposition of new and changing requirements. Although we have implemented systems and procedures (including credit card encryption between terminals and payment processors, Advance Malware Protection built into firewalls, POS stations on separate VLANS, and encrypted cloud-hosted storage) that are designed to protect customer, employee, vendor and Company information, prevent data loss and other security breaches, and otherwise identify, assess, and analyze cybersecurity risks, these measures may not be effective. Cyber-security risks such as malicious software and attempts to gain unauthorized access to data are rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly more sophisticated. Techniques or software used to gain unauthorized access, and/or disable, degrade or harm our systems may be difficult to detect for prolonged periods of time, and we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or put in place protective or preventive measures. These attempts to gain unauthorized access could lead to disruptions in our systems, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information or corruption of data. If individuals are successful in infiltrating, breaking into, disrupting, damaging or otherwise stealing from the computer systems of the Company or its third-party providers, we may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them, and may suffer interruptions in our operations in the interim, including interruptions in our ability to accept payment from customers. While, to the best of our knowledge, we have not experienced any material misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential or personally identifiable information as a result of a security breach or cyber-attack that could materially increase financial risk to the Company or our customers, such a security breach or cyber-attack could adversely affect our business and operations, including by damaging our reputation and our relationships with our customers, employees, suppliers and investors, exposing us to litigation, fines and penalties.

As a seller of certain consumer products, we are subject to various federal, state, local, and international laws and regulations relating to product safety and consumer protection

While we take steps to comply with these laws, there can be no assurance that we will be in compliance, and failure to comply with these laws could result in litigation, regulatory action, and penalties which could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, our suppliers might not adhere to product safety requirements and the Company and those suppliers may therefore be subject to involuntary or voluntary product recalls or product liability lawsuits. Direct costs, lost sales, and reputational damage associated with product recalls, government enforcement actions, or product liability lawsuits, individually or in the aggregate, could have a negative impact on future revenues and results of operations.

Risks Related To Our Common Stock

We may issue additional stock to raise capital to fund our expansion plans that would dilute the voting power of our current stockholders.

In order to raise capital to fund expansion of our Simply Mac stores, we may issue additional shares of the Company’s stock that would dilute the voting power of our current stockholders.

The market for our common stock is volatile and our stock price could decline.

The price of our common stock, as well as the stock market in general, has been highly volatile. The market price of our common stock during our fiscal year ended January 29, 2022 fluctuated between $5.25 and $1.00. We expect that our stock price is likely to remain volatile. Investors in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their stock, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, resulting in a substantial (potentially total) loss on their investment. In addition, an active trading market for our common stock may not be sustained, which could affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares and could depress the market price of their shares.

If we fail to meet the eligibility requirements of OTCQX, we could be removed from the OTCQX which would limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities in the secondary market.

The companies whose securities are quoted on the OTCQX must maintain certain eligibility criteria, including having a minimum bid price for of $0.25 per share and a market capitalization of at least $10 million to continue to be quoted on the OTCQX. There is no guarantee that we will continue to meet OTCQX criteria to continue to have our common stock quoted thereon. As a result, failure to be quoted on the OTCQX would cause the Company’s common stock to be quoted on the OTCQB Venture Market (the “OTCQB”) or the Pink Open Market, which may severely adversely affect the market liquidity for our shares by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell such shares, and the ability of stockholders to sell their shares in the secondary market. In addition,

6

if we are no longer quoted on the OTCQ X, there can be no assurance that will meet the eligibility criteria and requalify for quotation on the OTCQ X.

If we fail to file periodic reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, our common stock will not be able to be quoted on the OTCQX

Although our common stock is quoted on the OTCQX, a regular trading market for our common stock may not be sustained in the future. OTC Markets limits quotation on the OTCQX to securities of issuers that are current in their reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). If we fail to remain current in the filing of our reports with the SEC, our common stock will not be able to be quoted on the OTCQX.

Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our common stock because it is considered a penny stock and is subject to the penny stock rules.

Our common stock currently constitutes “penny stock.” Subject to certain exceptions, for the purposes relevant to us, “penny stock” includes any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain brokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a “penny stock.” In particular, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or “accredited investor”, must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customer’s account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon broker-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares of common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and impede the sale of our common stock in the secondary market.

As an issuer of “penny stock” the protection provided by the federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.

Although the federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, so long as our common stock constitutes a “penny stock”, we will not have the benefit of this particular safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.

Item 2. | Properties.

All our retail stores and other facilities are leased. Our stores range in size from small stores of only 1,000 sq.ft. to larger stores of up to 5,200 sq.ft. Store leases typically provide for an initial lease term of three to five years, while two of our Florida stores have original lease terms of ten years. We believe that, as current leases expire, we will be able to obtain either renewals at present locations or new leases for equivalent spaces in the same area. The terms of our 53 leased stores in the United States that were open as of January 29, 2022 expire in our fiscal years ending on the Saturday closest to January 31 as follows:

The corporate office of Simply Mac is located in Salt Lake City, Utah pursuant to an operating lease. The term of the lease is from April 2020 to August 2025. The approximate monthly rent for this office amounts to $15,280. We believe that these facilities are adequate for our current requirements and that suitable alternative or additional space will be available as needed to accommodate future expansion of our operations.

PART II

Item 5. | Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Our Common Stock was traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “AWSM” until November 8, 2019. Thereafter, our Common Stock was quoted on the OTCQB under the same symbol until October 14, 2020, at which time our symbol was changed to “SIMP.” Effective October 14, 2020, we effected a one-for-ten reverse split of our common stock. Beginning February 8, 2021, our Common Stock was upgraded and commenced quotation on the OTCQX under the same “SIMP” symbol. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low trading prices of our common stock as reported by the respective markets and as adjusted for the reverse split noted above:

Fiscal 2022 |  | High |  |  | Low |
First Quarter |  | $ | 5.25 |  |  | $ | 1.99 |
Second Quarter |  | $ | 3.98 |  |  | $ | 2.22 |

Item 7. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our accompanying Consolidated Audited Financial Statements and related notes, as well as the “Risk Factors” and other information contained in this annual report. The discussion is based upon, among other things, our Consolidated Audited Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to, among other things, make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent liabilities at the financial statement dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We review our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but we do not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations, although they could. Our critical accounting policies, the policies we believe are most important to the presentation of our financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies.” All references to results of operations in this discussion are references to results of continuing operations, unless otherwise noted.

Overview and Recent Developments

Our business is centered on our relationship with Apple® as an Apple Premier Partner authorized to operate retail consumer electronics stores that sell the entire line of Apple products and provide service by Apple-certified technicians. As of January 29, 2022, we had 52 Simply Mac stores and 1 Simply EV store in operation across 17 states in the United States. We previously operated another chain of 6 retail stores under the OneClick brand in the Dominican Republic, as well as a distribution company called Cooltech Distribution, an authorized distributor to the OneClick stores and other resellers of Apple products and other high-profile consumer electronic brands. We sold the Dominican Republic entity to an employee of the Company in a transaction that closed on April 6, 2020. As a consequence of the sale, it has been classified as a discontinued operation in our consolidated statement of operations for all periods presented. We phased out our Cooltech Distribution entity in August 2020.

In March 2020, we restructured $14.1 million of our debt through a combination of debt forgiveness and conversions into common stock. On March 11, 2020, the Company and GameStop entered into an agreement to amend and restate the 12% secured promissory note issued in September 2019 by the Company to GameStop in connection with the acquisition of Simply Mac. The amended promissory note reduced the principal balance of the note from $7,858,000 to $1,250,000, bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum and has an extended maturity date of February 17, 2024. Additionally, the amended note releases all prior security and collateral under the original note and is unsecured. The parties also entered into a Termination Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to pay GameStop an aggregate amount of $335,152, payable in twelve equal monthly installments of $27,929 with the first installment due on April 30, 2020, in satisfaction of certain post-closing amounts owed to GameStop under the Stock Purchase Agreement and certain agreements related thereto, less amounts owed to the Company from GameStop under the Stock Purchase Agreement relating to the post-closing working capital adjustment thereunder. The Company also agreed to pay GameStop a onetime cash payment of $250,000 and release to GameStop $345,000 of funds held in escrow in connection with the Simply Mac acquisition.

Then, on March 31, 2020, we entered into conversion agreements with certain debt holders to convert the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the convertible notes held by such holders, including interest accrued thereon, into shares of our common stock of at a conversion price of $1.70 per share of common stock. These agreements also resulted in the cancellation of warrants, issued by the Company, to purchase 21,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $42.50 per share, as well as cancellation of warrants to purchase an indeterminate number of shares of common stock of the Company which were exercisable by dividing the principal amount of the convertible notes by a price that is 30% below the twenty-day volume weighted average price of our shares of common stock immediately prior to the date we were to obtain shareholder and regulatory approval to permit the conversion of the convertible notes. The note holders entering into agreements to convert notes issued by us consisted of holders of: (i) a principal amount of $91,666 pursuant to a 0% senior convertible note issued on January 19, 2018; (ii) a principal amount of $1,700,000 pursuant to 12.0% unsecured convertible notes issued on October 24, 2018; (iii) a principal amount of $400,000 pursuant to a convertible note issued on November 29, 2018; (iv) a principal amount of $1,500,000 pursuant to convertible notes issued on May 16, 2019; (v) a principal amount of $175,000 pursuant to convertible notes issued on July 9, 2019; (vi) a principal amount of $175,000 pursuant to convertible notes issued on August 8, 2019; (vii) a principal amount of $3,450,500 pursuant to convertible notes issued on September, 11, 13, 20, 23 and 24, 2019. Altogether, such conversion agreements resulted in the conversion of an aggregate $8,183,180 of indebtedness, including $691,014 of accrued interest, into 4,813,635 shares of common stock of the Company, and the cancellation of an indeterminate amount of warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company.

Also on March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement and release of claims settling claims relating to (i) outstanding transaction fees related to a previous debenture financing, (ii) settlement of a disputed claim for royalties relating to a

10

previous debenture financing, and (iii) settlement of offsetting charges related to a promotion and supply agreement. Pursuant to this settlement agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,068,36 8 shares of common stock in full settlement of such claims.

On April 16, 2020, we received a $3.1 million loan pursuant to the PPP under the CARES Act. On October 19, 2020, we filed a forgiveness application in which we certified that 100% of the funds were spent on qualified payroll and related costs and requested that the entire principal balance be forgiven. The application was approved by the lender and the SBA, and the loan and accrued interest were extinguished on August 17, 2021.

Effective October 14, 2020, we changed the name of the Company from “Cool Holdings, Inc.” to “Simply, Inc.”, changed our ticker symbol from “AWSM” to “SIMP”, and effected a one-for-ten reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock. All share and per share numbers in the report have been retroactively restated to account for the reverse split.

On March 10, 2021, the Company secured a second-draw, $2,000,000, 1.0%, 5-year loan from the Lender pursuant to the PPP. No payments are due on this loan until the earlier of: (a) the date on which the amount of loan forgiveness determined under the CARES Act is remitted to the Lender by the SBA, (b) the date that the SBA advises Lender that all or part of the loan has not been forgiven, provided that the Company has applied for forgiveness within 10 months of the end of the forgiveness period of the loan or (c) if the Borrower fails to apply for forgiveness by the end of the forgiveness period, a date that is not earlier than the date that is 10 months after the last day of the forgiveness period. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the CARES Act, on October 28, 2021, the Company filed its forgiveness application with the Lender. The Company certified in the application that 100% of the loaned funds were utilized during the 22-week covered period commencing March 10, 2021 to pay for qualified payroll and payroll related costs, and as such, requested that the entire principal balance be forgiven. The application is subject to review by both the Lender and the SBA, after which the Company will be notified as to whether the application is approved. If the application is denied or partially approved, the Company will be required to make equal monthly payments to fully amortize any remaining balance by March 10, 2026.

Between July and November 2021, the Company issued five individual six-month, 9%, unsecured convertible notes aggregating $4,000,000 in principal and warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company to SOL Global. SOL Global is an affiliate of the Company and owns greater than 10% of its outstanding common stock. The principal and unpaid accrued interest on the notes are convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at $2.50 per share and the warrants are exercisable beginning six months after the date of issuance and expire 42 months from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. Upon maturity of the first note on January 6, 2022, SOL Global converted the entire $1,000,000 principal amount of the note and accrued interest into 418,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

During August and September 2021, the Company raised $2,000,000 in four private placements of the shares of the Company’s common stock of $500,000 each to SOL Verano Blocker 1 LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of SOL Global. The shares were sold at the closing market price on the funding dates and the Company sold an aggregate of 575,527 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $3.48 per share in the private placements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical accounting policies are those policies that, in management’s view, are most important in the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. The notes to our Consolidated Audited Financial Statements also include disclosure of significant accounting policies. The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the condition and results that we report in our financial statements. These critical accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates and assumptions regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. There is a likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Our critical accounting policies and estimates and assumptions that require the most significant judgment are discussed further below.

Valuation of Merchandise Inventories

Our inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in first-out method for cost. In valuing inventory, we are required to make assumptions regarding write-downs required to properly value obsolete or over-valued items at the lower of cost or net realizable value. In order to do this we consider a number of factors including quantities on hand, sales history, age of the product, new model introductions, vendor price protections and return policies, etc.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill results from acquisitions and represents the excess purchase price over the net identifiable assets acquired. We are required to evaluate our goodwill for impairment at least annually, or whenever indicators of impairment are present. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of our reporting units. The discounted cash flows analyses utilize a five- to seven-year cash flow projection with a terminal value, which are discounted using a risk-adjusted weighted-average cost of capital. The projected cash flows include numerous assumptions such as, among others, future sales trends, operating margins, store count and capital expenditures, all of which are derived from our long-term financial forecasts. We may also use other market valuation methodologies including comparable market transaction comparisons and individual asset valuations, which also require the use of significant management judgment.

Our definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of trade names recorded as a result of business acquisitions. The estimated useful life and amortization methodology of intangible assets are determined based on the period in which they are expected to contribute directly to cash flows. Intangible assets that are determined to have a definite life are amortized over that period.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, right-of-use assets and property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may be impaired. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment was recorded during Fiscal 2022 or Fiscal 2021.

Fiscal Year Ended January 29, 2022 Compared With Year Ended January 30, 2021

Net Sales

For the fiscal year ended January 30, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”), our total net sales of $79.1 million represented an increase of $11.1 million, or 16%, compared to net sales of $68.0 million in the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”). The increase in sales between the periods is primarily the result of our expansion program by which we grew our store count from 43 stores at the end of Fiscal 2021 to 53 stores at the end of Fiscal 2022. Although sales in both years were affected by the COVID‑19 pandemic, Fiscal 2021 was more adversely affected than Fiscal 2022.

At the outset of Fiscal 2021, all of our retail stores were open. However, in mid-March 2020, the COVID‑19 pandemic resulted in the closure of 12 locations. In addition, at the remaining locations which stayed open, we cut back store hours from 7 days per week and up to 11 hours per day, to 5 days per week and only 8 hours per day so we could run the stores on a single shift. In many locations, our business was deemed to be “essential” as we provide products and repair services for adults working remotely and students attending school virtually. We were able to begin reopening stores and expanding hours beginning May 4, 2020 through June 22, 2020. By August 1, 2020, only 1 store remained closed, which was reopened soon thereafter. During the entire second half of Fiscal 2021, our retail stores continued to be adversely affected by COVID-19. Hours of operation at all stores were curtailed by remaining closed on Sundays and most stores operated on shortened hours during the other days of the week. In addition, we believe COVID-19 adversely impacted our supply chain, resulting in severe shortages of Apple products that depressed sales both in our retail stores and on our eCommerce website.

During Fiscal 2022, first the outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID-19 and then the Omicron variant continued to negatively impact our sales. As certain geographic areas experienced hyperlocal outbreaks resulting in infections of customers and store employees, we were periodically forced to close stores for short periods of time. We were particularly impacted by the Omicron variant during the important holiday selling season from late November through early January. Further exacerbating the situation, after Apple’s announcement in mid-October 2021 of the new MacBook Pro and other products, we experienced severe shortages of new Apple products which dampened our holiday sales.

Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Our cost of sales in Fiscal 2022 was $61.6 million, 77.9% of net sales, our gross profit was $17.5 million and our gross margin was 22.1%. For Fiscal 2021, cost of sales was $49.7 million, 73.0% of net sales, gross profit was $18.4 million and our gross margin was 27.0%. The significant decline in our gross margin resulted primarily from a combination of competitive pressures that forced us

13

to reduce sales prices during the holiday selling season, as well as a reduced mix of service busines s. Service is our most profitable business category, and service fell from 22.6% of total revenues in Fiscal 2021 to 19.0% in Fiscal 2022. In addition, our eCommerce business is our lowest gross margin category, and eCommerce sales rose from 16.1% of total revenues in Fiscal 2021 to 18.8% in Fiscal 2022

Operating Expenses

For Fiscal 2022, operating expenses of $30.0 million increased by $2.8 million, or 10.4%, from $27.2 million in Fiscal 2021. The increase resulted primarily from the store expansion, with the largest increase in store payroll to staff the new stores. Despite the increase of 10 stores during Fiscal 2022, rent expense declined 2.5% from Fiscal 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic created a renter’s market and we were able to open new stores, and replace stores with expiring leases, at significantly lower rental rates compared to pre-pandemic rates. Other store expenses grew as a result of the expansion, including systems, travel, marketing and depreciation. Total store expenses increased $3.9 million, or 18.1%, from $21.4 million in Fiscal 2021 to $25.3 million in Fiscal 2022. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million, or 18.2%, decline in corporate level expenses, primarily reduced legal fees.

Other Income (Expense)

For Fiscal 2022, interest expense amounted to $2.7 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 158%, compared to $1.0 million in Fiscal 2021. The increase resulted from interest on $4.0 million of convertible notes and warrants that were issued during Fiscal 2022, as well as interest on $7.4 million of additional borrowing during the holiday fourth fiscal quarter. We also recorded a $3.1 million gain on extinguishment of the first PPP loan we received when the loan was forgiven by the SBA, and $968,000 of other income, comprised primarily of insurance recoveries.

In Fiscal 2021, we recorded a $13.6 million gain on extinguishment of debt that resulted from the debt restructuring in March 2020, a $543,000 gain from the decrease in value of financial derivatives that arose in connection with the 2019 issuance of convertible debt and warrants, and $160,000 in other income comprised of $215,000 in gains from settlements with vendors of outstanding payable balances generated in the prior year, partially offset by $55,000 in impairments of right-of-use leased assets and other items.

Net Income (Loss)

For Fiscal 2022, our net loss was $11.1 million after a nominal tax provision that consists primarily of minimum taxes assessed in states where our Simply Mac stores are located. Because of our prior operating losses and lack of carry-back ability, absent isolated events, our provision for income taxes is generally nominal. For Fiscal 2021, our net income was $4.3 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During Fiscal 2021, we restructured the majority of our debt through conversions into equity or modification of repayment terms. In April 2020 we secured a $3.1 million PPP loan that was forgiven by the SBA in August 2021. In March 2021 we secured a second PPP loan for $2.0 million, for which we are awaiting response from the SBA on our forgiveness application. Between July and November 2021 we raised $6.0 million through the sale of $4.0 million of convertible notes and warrants and $2.0 million of common stock. Also in November 2021, we entered into a loan and security agreement with a finance company pursuant to which we borrowed $7.4 million, which balance was paid down to $3.7 million on January 29, 2022. At January 29, 2022 we had negative working capital of $8.2 million and negative stockholders’ equity of $6.0 million. We expect that we will need additional debt and or equity financing in the coming fiscal year, but we cannot predict whether additional liquidity will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, in the foreseeable future.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in continuing operating activities for Fiscal 2022 amounted to $8.4 million compared to $1.6 million for Fiscal 2021. The $6.8 million increase in cash used was due to an increase of $3.4 million in the net loss after adjustment for non-cash items, plus a $3.3 million increase in working capital required to support the new Simply Mac retail stores.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in Fiscal 2022 to purchase property and equipment for new Simply Mac stores amounted to $2.9 million, compared to $1.0 million in Fiscal 2021.

14

Financing Activities

During Fiscal 2022, net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $11.7 million. This was comprised primarily of $13.4 million of borrowings from notes payable, $2.1 million from the sale of common stock and warrant exercises, less $4.1 million of repayments on notes payable. In Fiscal 2021, net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $2.9 million. Borrowings from notes payable amounted to $3.5 million, and repayments of notes payable amounted to $825,000. We also received $226,000 from the sale of stock upon warrant exercises.

Contractual Obligations

We lease all our retail store and administrative office facilities and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Rent expense under these leases was approximately $4,878,000 and $4,547,000 for the fiscal years ended January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, respectively.

The following is a schedule of aggregate future minimum payments required by the above obligations (in thousands):

|  |  |  |  |  | Payments due by period |
Contractual Obligations |  | Total |  |  | Less than 1 year |  |  | 1-3 years |  |  | 4-5 years |  |  | More than 5 years |
Operating Lease Obligations |  | $ | 15,834 |  |  | $ | 3,836 |  |  | $ | 6,911 |  |  |  | 4,029 |  |  |  | 1,058 |

Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” for us refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and various foreign currencies. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible areas of loss. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market risk exposures.

Interest Rates

None of our outstanding debt bears interest at rates that are variable, and consequently we have minimal exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates.

Foreign Exchange and Other Risks

We translate the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars at the end of each reporting period. Translation adjustments are dollar changes that result from the translation process, and these adjustments are included in the cumulative translation account that is a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity on our balance sheet. We formerly had subsidiaries in Argentina, the Dominican Republic and Mexico, but they have all been sold or discontinued and our foreign currency exposure has been substantially eliminated. At January 29, 2022, foreign currency cash accounts in Mexican Pesos amounted to $10,000, which amount is included in assets of discontinued operations on our consolidated balance sheet at that date. At January 29, 2022, our accumulated comprehensive loss amounted to $8,000.

(i) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.

(ii) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 29, 2022 as required by the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c). In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the guidance for small and mid-size entities put forth in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013). Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 29, 2022.

It should be noted that while the Company’s CEO and CFO believe that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to law, rules and regulations that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(iii) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter ended January 29, 2022, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee performs, among other things, the following functions:

| • | determines the independent registered public accounting firm to be employed;

| • | discusses the scope of the independent registered public accounting firm’s examination;

| • | reviews the financial statements and the independent registered public accounting firm’s report;

| • | solicits recommendations from the independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls and other matters;

| • | reviews related-party transactions for conflicts of interest;

| • | makes recommendations to the Board regarding audit-related, accounting and certain other matters; and

| • | performs other related tasks as requested by the Board.

Mr. Galloro and Mr. Taylor serve on our Audit Committee. Mr. Galloro is currently the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors has determined that he is an independent director and an audit committee financial expert.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee performs, among other things, the following functions:

| • | develops executive compensation philosophies and establishes and annually reviews and approves policies regarding executive compensation programs and practices;

| • | reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluates the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives and sets the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation based on this evaluation;

| • | reviews the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations with respect to, and approves annual compensation for, Simply, Inc.’s other executive officers;

| • | establishes and administers annual and long-term incentive compensation plans for key executives;

| • | reviews and approves, if appropriate, or recommends to the Board for its approval and, where appropriate, submission to Simply, Inc.’s stockholders, incentive compensation plans and equity–based plans;

The Compensation Committee may invite to its meetings any member of management, including the Chief Executive Officer, and such other persons as it deems appropriate to carry out its duties and responsibilities. Our management assists the Compensation Committee by providing various support, including:

| • | providing the Compensation Committee with perspectives of the business and people needs of the Company;

| • | having the Chief Executive Officer make compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee for the other executive officers (although the Compensation Committee ultimately determines compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers); and

| • | developing recommendations for the design of pay programs applicable to the executive officers.

In addition, the Compensation Committee may from time to time engage an outside compensation consultant to:

| • | assist the Compensation Committee in reviewing recommendations prepared by management in light of the Company’s objectives and market practices; and

| • | provide the Compensation Committee with an outside perspective regarding compensation.

19

The Compensation Committee did not use the services of a compensation consultant during Fiscal 2022.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

We also have a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for recommending potential directors, for considering nominations for potential directors submitted by our stockholders and for certain matters related to corporate governance. Mr. Taylor and Mr. Galloro serve on this committee, which does not have a chairman.

There have been no material changes to the procedures (as described below) by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors in the last fiscal year.

Director Candidates

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should have certain minimum qualifications and have a high standard of personal and professional ethics, integrity and values. Candidates for director nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of our Board of Directors, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers independence, professional background and experience, other board experience, industry knowledge, skills and expertise, and such other factors as it deems appropriate given the current needs of the Board and Simply, Inc., to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capabilities. Other factors considered may include diversity (including age, geography, professional and other experience), although the Company does not have a formal policy regarding diversity.

In the case of incumbent directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews such directors’ overall service to us during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance, and any other relevant considerations. In the case of new director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also determines whether the nominee must be independent for regulatory purposes, which determination is based upon applicable exchange listing standards, applicable SEC rules and regulations, and the advice of counsel, if necessary.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of possible candidates after considering the function and needs of our Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider such candidates’ qualifications and then selects nominees for recommendation to the Board by majority vote.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the minimum criteria set forth above, based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a stockholder or not. Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board at an annual meeting of stockholders must do so by delivering, at least 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of the proxy statement for our last annual meeting of stockholders, a written recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the following address: c/o Corporate Secretary, 155 North 400 West, Suite 170, Salt Lake City, Utah 84103. Each submission must set forth, among other things: the name and address of the stockholder on whose behalf the submission is made; the number of our shares that are owned beneficially by such stockholder as of the date of the submission; the full name of the proposed candidate; a description of the proposed candidate’s business experience for at least the previous five years; complete biographical information for the proposed candidate; and a description of the proposed candidate’s qualifications as a director. For additional information, see our Director Selection Guidelines attached as Exhibit A to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s Charter, which can be found on our website at http://www.simplyinc.com/corporate-governance/.

Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committee Member Attendance

During fiscal year 2022, our Board of Directors met 13 times, our Audit Committee met 5 times and our Compensation Committee met 3 times. All directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which they served in fiscal year 2022 that were held while they were a director or committee member.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

At the present time, the Company has two vacancies on its Board that it is working to fill. It currently has three Board members consisting of Reinier Voigt, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Taylor, an independent director and Chairman of the Board and of the Compensation Committee, and Michael Galloro, an independent director and Chairman of the Audit Committee.

The Board of Directors has historically performed an important role in the review and oversight of risks, and generally oversees the Company’s risk management practices and processes, including entity level and financial controls. In its risk oversight role, the Board has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by the Company’s management are adequate and functioning as designed. The Board also oversees organizational structure, policies and procedures, such as the Code of Conduct and the Code of Ethics and other internal policies and guidelines designed to support the Company’s corporate governance and to comply with the laws, rules and regulations that apply to the Company’s business operations.

Although the Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight at the Company, it has delegated primary oversight of the management of (i) financial reporting, internal controls, accounting and compliance risks to the Audit Committee, (ii) compensation risk to the Compensation Committee, and (iii) corporate governance risk to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of these committees routinely reports to the Board on the management of these specific risk areas.

To permit the Board of Directors and its committees to perform their respective risk oversight roles, members of management report directly to the Board or the relevant committee of the Board responsible for overseeing the management of specific risks, as applicable. The Chief Executive Officer reports directly to the Board. The Chief Financial Officer reports to the Chief Executive Officer, the Board and the Audit Committee. Members of the management team have a high degree of access and communication with the independent directors of the Board and the various Board committees. Members of the Company’s management regularly attend Board and committee meetings and are available to address any questions or concerns raised on matters related to risk management. The Company believes that a risk oversight structure with a Board consisting of a majority of independent directors is important for quality corporate governance.

Additional Corporate Governance Information

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders wishing to send communications to the Board may contact Vernon A. LoForti, our Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary, at the Company’s Simply Mac administrative office located at 155 North 400 West, Suite 170, Salt Lake City, Utah 84103. All such communications will be shared with the members of the Board, or if applicable, a specified committee or director.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Reporting of Accounting Concerns

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”). We require all employees to adhere to the Code of Conduct in addressing legal and ethical issues encountered in conducting their work. The Code of Conduct requires that our employees avoid conflicts of interest, comply with all laws and other legal requirements, conduct business in an honest and ethical manner and otherwise act with integrity and in our best interest.

We have also adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) for our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. The Code of Ethics supplements our Code of Conduct and is intended to promote honest and ethical conduct, full and accurate reporting, and compliance with laws as well as other matters. The Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics can be found on our website at http://www.simplyinc.com/corporate-goverance/.

We have established “whistle-blower procedures” that provide a process for the confidential and anonymous submission, receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. These procedures provide protections to employees who report company misconduct.

Change in Control Provisions Under 2015 Equity Incentive Plan

Under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, unless otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing an award or in a written employment, services or other agreement or policy between a participant and us, in the event of a change in control:

| • | If awards (other than performance shares, performance units, and other performance-based awards) will be assumed or otherwise continued after a change in control pursuant to the terms of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, the awards will not become fully vested and exercisable, and all applicable vesting and forfeiture provisions will continue following the change in control. However, such awards will become fully vested and exercisable, and all applicable restriction limitations or forfeiture provisions will lapse, in the event of a transaction in which such awards are not assumed or continued after the change in control, and the awards will thereafter terminate at the effective time of the change in control.

| • | All performance shares, performance units and other awards subject to vesting or payout based on the achievement of performance goals will be prorated at the target payout level as of the date of the change in control.

| • | In the event of certain reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, the Board or the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, provide that a participant's outstanding awards will be cashed out.

Under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan “change in control” generally means the occurrence of any of the following events:

23

| • | an acquisition by any individual, entity or group of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of either (a) the then outstanding shares of common stock or (b) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (with certain exclusions, including generally any acquisition directly from the Company, any acquisition by the Company, or any acquisition by any employee benefit plan of the Company or an affiliate);

| • | a change in the composition of the Board such that, during any two-year period, the incumbent Board members cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board (not including directors whose election, or nomination for election by stockholders, was approved by a majority of the incumbent Board); or

| • | consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, unless (a) after such transaction the beneficial owners of our common stock and voting securities immediately prior to the transaction retain at least 50% of such common stock and voting securities of the company resulting from such transaction in substantially the same proportions as their ownership prior to the transaction, (b) no person or entity beneficially owns 30% or more of the then outstanding common stock or voting securities of the company resulting from such transaction (unless such ownership resulted from ownership of securities prior to the transaction), and (c) at least a majority of the directors following such transaction were incumbent directors.

Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Director Independence

OTCQX Listing Rules require that our Board of Directors include at least two “independent” directors as defined by such rules. The standards relied upon by our Board of Directors in determining whether a director is “independent” consist of the independence standards of the OTCQX Listing Rules.

In accordance with the OTCQX Listing Rules, for a director to be considered “independent,” the Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that he or she is not an executive officer or employee of the Company or an individual that has a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Additionally, the following persons are not considered by the Board to be “independent”:

(a) a director who is or at any time during the past three years was employed by Simply, Inc. or its subsidiaries;

(b) a director who accepted or has a family member who accepted any compensation from Simply, Inc. in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following:

(i) compensation for board or board committee service;

(ii) compensation paid to a family member who is an employee (other than an executive officer) of Simply, Inc.; or

(iii) benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation;

(c) a director who is a family member of an individual who is or at any time during the past three years was employed by Simply, Inc. as an executive officer;

(d) a director who is, or has a family member who is a partner in or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which Simply, Inc. has made, or from which Simply, Inc. received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following:

(i) payments arising solely from investments in Simply, Inc. securities; or

(ii) payments under non-discretionary, charitable contribution matching programs;

(e) a director of Simply, Inc. who is, or has a family member who is employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the executive officers of Simply, Inc. serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

(f) a director who is or has a family member who is a current partner of Simply, Inc.’s outside auditor or was a partner or employee of Simply, Inc.’s outside auditor who worked on the Simply, Inc. audit at any time during any of the past three years.

The Board of Directors has reviewed its director independence based on the foregoing standards and considered, among other things, transactions and relationships between each director or any member of his or her immediate family and Simply, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates or any entity of which a director or an immediate family member is or was, as applicable, an executive officer, general partner or significant equity holder. As provided in the Director Qualification Standards of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, the purpose of this review was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions existed that were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent.

As a result of this review, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined that the following directors were independent of Simply, Inc. within the meaning of the OTCQX Listing Rules and the applicable rules promulgated by the SEC:

Kevin Taylor

Michael Galloro

Conflicts of Interest Policies

Our Audit Committee reviews and oversees all related-party transactions for potential conflicts of interest on an ongoing basis. Our Board of Directors and our officers also are subject to certain provisions of Maryland law that are designed to eliminate or minimize the effects of certain potential conflicts of interest. Pursuant to these provisions of Maryland law and our articles of incorporation, any transaction between us and an interested party will not be invalidated because it is an interested-party transaction if it is fully disclosed to our Board of Directors, and a majority of the directors not otherwise interested in the transaction (including a majority of independent directors) make a determination that the transaction is fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and on terms and conditions not less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties. During Fiscal 2022, such related party transactions included the issuance of five 9% unsecured convertible notes and warrants issued to SOL Global Investments Corp. (“SOL Global”) in which the Company raised an aggregate of $4.0 million, as well as the private placement of an aggregate of 576,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $2.0 million to a subsidiary of SOL Global. In addition, during Fiscal 2022, the Company entered into licensing, supply and lease agreements with entities that are indirectly partially owned by SOL Global to operate a retail store under the SimplyEV brand and to sell scooters and other all-electric products and accessories.

All future transactions between us and any of our officers, directors or 5% stockholders are expected to be on terms no less favorable than could be obtained from independent third parties and to be approved by a majority of our independent, disinterested directors. We believe that by following these procedures, we will be able to mitigate the possible effects of any conflicts of interest.

Item 14. | Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is Kaufman Rossin & Co., Miami, Florida, PCAOB ID: 137 (“KR”). The Audit Committee reviews and determines whether specific projects or expenditures with our registered public accounting firm potentially affect its independence.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Simply, Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Simply, Inc. (the “Company”) as of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 29, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 29, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Excess, Slow Moving and Obsolete Inventory

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company writes down its inventory to net realizable value when it is estimated to be slow-moving or obsolete by an amount equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based on assumptions about future demand, which are affected by changes in the Company’s strategic direction, discontinuance of a product or introduction of newer versions of a product, declines in the sales of or forecasted demand for certain products, and general market conditions.

F-2

We identified the evaluation of inventory net realizable value adjustments related to excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory as a critical audit matter due to the amount of judgment required by the Company in making such estimates. As a result, there was a high degree of subjective auditor judgment in assessing such estimates, specifically as it related to the future salability of inventories.

Our principal audit procedures to evaluate management’s estimates included the following, among others:

| • | We obtained an understanding of the Company’s process of estimating net realizable values related to excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory.

| • | We evaluated the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management including those related to forecasted inventory usage.

| • | We tested the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of the underlying data used in management's estimates of slow-moving inventory.

| • | We tested the calculations and application of management’s methodologies related to the valuation estimates of slow-moving inventory.

| • | We performed procedures to compare recent sales transactions or market data to cost of inventories.

| • | We developed an independent expectation of the excess and out-of-date inventory write-down, which included using historic inventory activity and compared it to management’s estimate.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company performs an impairment test on long-lived intangible assets when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets might be impaired. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

We identified the evaluation of the impairment analysis for long-lived intangible assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of subjective auditor judgment.

Our principal audit procedures to evaluate management’s estimates included the following, among others:

| • | We obtained an understanding of the Company’s process for developing the undiscounted cash flow model.

| • | We evaluated the reasonableness and appropriateness of assumptions used in management’s analysis including sales volumes, sales prices, operating margins, and growth rates.

| • | We tested and verified the mechanical and clerical accuracy of management’s cash flow model.

| • | We tested the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used by management in the undiscounted cash flow model including comparison to historical results, current industry and economic trends and other relevant factors.We evaluated the fair value of the derivative liabilities that included testing the valuation models and assumptions utilized by management. We reviewed and tested the fair value model used, significant assumptions, and underlying data used in the model

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS

Simply, Inc. (“Simply,” “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. On June 8, 2018, we changed our name to Cool Holdings, Inc., and on October 14, 2020, changed our name to Simply, Inc.

Our fiscal year is comprised of the 52 or 53 weeks ending on the Saturday closest to the last day of January. Fiscal year 2022 consisted of the 52 weeks ended on January 29, 2022 (“Fiscal 2022”). Fiscal year 2021 consisted of the 52 weeks ended on January 30, 2021 (“Fiscal 2021”).

We operate in a single business segment comprised of our chain of Simply Mac retail consumer electronics stores authorized under the Apple Premier Partner program and our SimplyMac.com eCommerce site. Geographically, all our Simply Mac retail stores are located in the United States.

Effective October 14, 2020, we effected a one-for-ten reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock. All share and per share numbers in this annual report have been retroactively restated to account for the reverse split.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Simply, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing these financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements. Changes in the estimates and assumptions used by us could have a significant impact on our financial results. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606). Under ASU 2014-09, we apply a five-step approach in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized which includes the following: (1) identifying the contract with a customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (5) recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

In our retail stores, revenue is recognized at a point in time, which typically is at the time of sale, net of discounts and estimated returns, when collection is reasonably assured and the customer takes possession of the merchandise. Revenues do not include sales taxes or other taxes collected from customers. Products sold in our stores typically come with a manufacturer’s warranty, which is an obligation of the manufacturer. However, our stores also sell AppleCare+ and other third-party plans to customers that provide extended warranty coverage on their device purchases. Because the service to be provided to the consumer under these plans comes directly from third parties, we do not “obtain substantive control” of the service. Consequently, we act as the “agent” in the sales transaction rather than the “principal,” and record the transaction on a “net” basis with the cost being netted against the sale and only the margin being recorded as revenue. For our repair business, revenue is recognized at a point in time, typically upon completion of the repair, and any customer deposits are recorded as liabilities until the service is completed. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling costs as fulfillment activities. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight are included in cost of sales.

F-8

Contract liabilities consist of customer payments received in advance of revenue recognition and are recorded as customer deposits. These deposits are liquidated when revenue is recognized. As of January 29, 2022, January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020, contract liabilities amounted to approximately $1,895,000, $880,000 and $154,000, respectively. Revenue recognized that was included in the beginning contract liability balance amounted to approximately $817,000 and $107,000 for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments, which are excluded from net income (loss) and are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit as accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

For consolidated financial statement purposes, cash equivalents are defined as investments which have an original maturity of ninety days or less from the original date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and in banks. Amounts receivable from credit card processors are also considered cash equivalents because they are both short-term and highly liquid in nature and typically convert to cash approximately three to five days from the date of the underlying transaction. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances in banks that from time to time exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As of January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, the Company maintained deposits totaling $1,639,000 and $1,573,000, respectively, with certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured amounts. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Amounts included in restricted cash are pledged as collateral to banks and restricted to use in support of letters of credit issued to vendors for inventory and other purchases. Below is a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021 (in thousands):

|  | January 29, 2022 |  |  | January 30, 2021 |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,828 |  |  | $ | 1,536 |
Restricted cash (short term) |  |  | 1,255 |  |  |  | 1,310 |
Total |  | $ | 3,083 |  |  | $ | 2,846 |

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are comprised primarily of amounts due from the Company’s retail B2B customers. The Company provides for the possible inability to collect accounts receivable by recording an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company writes off an account when it is considered to be uncollectible. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable on an ongoing basis. In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, the Company records a specific allowance against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be collected. For all other customers, the Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experience. The allowance for doubtful accounts was nil and $6,000 at January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, respectively. The balance of trade accounts receivable at February 1, 2020 was $706,000.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value and consists primarily of consumer electronics and accessories. Included in inventory at January 29, 2022 is approximately $811,000 of electric vehicle products and accessories purchased from a related party (see Note 8). The Company writes down its inventory to net realizable value when it is estimated to be slow-moving or obsolete. For Fiscal 2022 and 2021, inventory write-downs were $353,000 and $493,000, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The Company provides for depreciation using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of three to five years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred while renewals and betterments are capitalized. Gains or losses on the sale of property and equipment are reflected in the statements of operations.

F-9

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial instruments in its financial statements at fair value or amounts that approximate fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure.” ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels are described below:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;

Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

The Company seeks to measure fair value based upon the lowest level of available input in the fair value hierarchy. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based upon models that use primarily market-based or independently-sourced market parameters. If market observable inputs for model-based valuation techniques are not available, the Company makes judgments about assumptions market participants would use in estimating the fair value of the financial instrument.

Carrying values of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other accounts receivable, prepaid assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and notes payable – related party approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature and liquidity of these financial instruments. The Company estimates that the fair value of its notes payable approximates its carrying value based on significant level 2 observable inputs.

In connection with the issuance by the Company during 2019 of certain convertible notes and warrants, as well as the subsequent conversion of certain notes into common stock and warrants, the conversion features and warrants were deemed to qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. The table below provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during Fiscal 2021 (in thousands):

|  | Derivative Liability |
Balance, February 1, 2020 |  | $ | 2,528 |
Change in fair value of derivative liability |  |  | (543 | )
Derecognition of derivative liability upon debt conversion and cancellation of warrants |  |  | (1,985 | )
Balance, January 30, 2021 |  | $ | — |

Business Combinations

We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. This method requires the recording of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their acquisition date fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Results of operations related to business combinations are included prospectively beginning with the date of acquisition and transaction costs related to business combinations are recorded within selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses.

F-10

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Intangible assets are recorded apart from goodwill if they arise from a contractual right and are capable of being separated from the entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged individually. We are required to evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets not subject to amortization for impairment at least annually or when circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill or other intangible assets might be impaired. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units for the purpose of impairment testing. We have a single operating segment, and our goodwill arose from our acquisition of Simply Mac on September 25, 2019. Our annual impairment test is performed on the first day of the fourth quarter. No impairment was recorded during Fiscal 2022 or Fiscal 2021.

In order to test goodwill for impairment, we compare a reporting unit’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value. If the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value, then an impairment charge is recorded in the amount of the excess, limited to the amount of the goodwill in the reporting unit. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit is determined based on a combination of enterprise market valuation methods including (1) income approach using discounted cash flow analysis based on our long-term financial forecasts, (2) market approach using data for comparable market transactions, and (3) asset approach valuing the individual assets of the reporting unit. The discounted cash flows analysis requires significant assumptions including, among others, a discount rate and a terminal value. The Company follows the guidance set forth in ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350) in performing its testing.

Our definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of trade names recorded as a result of business acquisitions. The estimated useful life and amortization methodology of intangible assets are determined based on the period in which they are expected to contribute directly to cash flows. Intangible assets that are determined to have a definite life are amortized over that period.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, right-of-use assets and property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may be impaired. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment was recorded during Fiscal 2022 or Fiscal 2021.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s share-based compensation plans are described in Note 11. The Company measures compensation cost for all employee stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, usually the vesting period. The Company applies the straight-line method of expense recognition to all awards with only service-based vesting conditions. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Company follows the guidance in ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Stock-based awards granted to consultants and non-employees are accounted for in the same manner as awards granted to employees and directors described above.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses all advertising costs, including direct response advertising, as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 was $750,000 and $410,000, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, the Company performs an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

In addition, the Company recognizes the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as operating expenses.

F-11

Based on our evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similarly to basic earnings (loss) per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential additional common shares that were dilutive had been issued as determined by using the treasury stock method. Common share equivalents are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company’s common share equivalents consist of convertible notes, convertible preferred stock, stock options and warrants.

For Fiscal 2021, the dilutive effect of in-the-money common share equivalents amounted to 149,000 shares. Shares of common stock from the potential exercise of common share equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share when their exercise prices are greater than the Company’s weighted-average stock price for the period. For Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, the number of such shares excluded was 1,507,000 and 2,968,000 shares, respectively. In addition, for Fiscal 2022, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the loss calculation, common shares from exercise of 3,943,000 common share equivalents were excluded from the computation of net loss per share.

All share and per share numbers in this annual report have been retroactively restated for the Company’s one-for-ten reverse stock split effected in October 2020.

Geographic Reporting

The Company allocates revenues to geographic areas based on the location where our retail stores are located. Currently, all retail stores are located in the United States.

Major Suppliers

The Company purchases its Apple products either directly from Apple or from major distributors, depending on availability of product and credit lines at the time of purchase. Ultimately, Apple is the sole source of supply of Apple products, and the Company’s business is highly dependent on Apple for its supply of current and future products. Approximately 69% and 74% of the Company’s sales for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, respectively, are comprised of sales of Apple products. In addition, the growth of our business is highly dependent upon our relationship with Apple in providing us with the licenses and approvals necessary to expand our footprint into various countries and regions around the world. Apple has very strict performance standards and guidelines that we must achieve and adhere to in order to be successful and continue to receive their support. Consequently, our performance deterioration or failure to adhere to their guidelines could jeopardize our strategy and adversely affect our financial performance.

During Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021, greater than 90% of the Company’s inventory purchases were made through two suppliers.

Concentrations of Credit Risk, Customers

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents with various high-credit-quality financial institutions located primarily in the United States. Currently, the Company’s cash balances are kept primarily in demand accounts at these banks, but the Company may periodically invest excess cash in certificates of deposit or money market accounts in order to maintain safety and liquidity. The Company’s investment strategy generally results in lower yields on investments but reduces the risk to principal in the short term prior to these funds being used in its business. The Company has not experienced any material losses on financial instruments held at financial institutions.

The Company’s retail stores sell primarily to end consumers, with periodic sales to corporate customers. The Company selectively provides credit to corporate and reseller customers in the normal course of business and generally requires no collateral. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses based upon the Company’s historical experience related to credit losses and any unusual circumstances that may affect the ability of its customers to meet their obligations. The Company’s bad debt expenses have not been significant relative to its total revenues.

F-12

No customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s total net sales during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021. Excluding receivables from customer financing partners, no individual customer represented 10% or more of accounts receivable at January 29, 2022 or January 30, 2021.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40),” to address the complexity in accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. Amongst other provisions, the amendments in this ASU significantly changed the guidance on the issuer’s accounting for convertible instruments and the guidance on the derivative scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity such that fewer conversion features will require separate recognition, and fewer freestanding instruments, like warrants, will require liability treatment. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. However, early adoption is permitted as early as fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the new standard on January 31, 2021, which adoption did not require the Company to bifurcate the embedded beneficial conversion feature from the unsecured convertible notes it issued during Fiscal 2022.

Other Accounting Standards Updates not effective until after January 29, 2022 are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3—GOING CONCERN CONSIDERATIONS

In accordance with the guidance issued by the FASB under ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, the Company is required to evaluate each reporting period whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months following the date the Company’s financial statements are issued. Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds and available working capital, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due within one year from the date of issuance of the financial statements. Because the Company has sustained significant losses over the past two years and its total liabilities exceed its total assets, management has substantial doubt that the Company could remain independent and continue as a going concern for the required period of time if it were not able to raise additional capital to fund its working capital needs and achieve positive cash flows from operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The carrying amount of goodwill at January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021 amounted to $699,000.

Due to the various impacts of COVID-19 to the Company’s business during the Fiscal 2021, including the temporary closure and limited operating hours of the Company’s stores beginning in late March 2020 and the continued losses incurred during Fiscal 2022, the Company determined triggering events had occurred for certain of the Company’s long-lived asset groups that required impairment assessments during the periods. This analysis did not result in impairment charges related to long-lived assets and operating lease right of use assets.

On September 25, 2019, in connection with the acquisition of Simply Mac, the Company issued a $7,858,000 secured promissory note to GameStop. The note bore interest at a rate equal to 12% per annum and called for the Company to make four equal installment payments of $1,965,000, plus accrued interest, on each 3 month anniversary of the note. The note was secured by, among other things, the Simply Mac inventory and accounts receivable. On March 11, 2020, the Company and GameStop entered into an agreement to amend and restate the promissory note. The amended promissory note reduced the principal balance of the note from $7,858,000 to $1,250,000, reduced the interest rate to 6% per annum and extended the maturity date to February 17, 2024. Additionally, the amended note released all prior security and collateral under the original note and is unsecured. The parties also entered into a Termination Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to pay GameStop an aggregate amount of $335,152, payable in twelve equal monthly installments of $27,929 with the first installment due April 30, 2020, in satisfaction of certain post-closing amounts owed to GameStop under the Stock Purchase Agreement and certain agreements related thereto, less amounts owed to the Company from GameStop under the Stock Purchase Agreement relating to the post-closing working capital adjustment thereunder. The Company also made a onetime cash payment of $250,000 to GameStop and released to GameStop $345,000 of funds held in escrow in connection with the Simply Mac acquisition. As a result of these agreements, the Company recorded a gain of $6,961,000 on the extinguishment of debt.

On April 16, 2020, the Company secured a $3,098,000, 2-year loan from a regional bank (the “Lender”) pursuant to the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under Title I of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020 (“CARES Act”). The note bears interest at 1.0% per annum and no payments were due for the first six months. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the CARES Act, on October 19, 2020, the Company filed its forgiveness application (the “Application”) with the Lender. The Company certified in the Application that 100% of the loaned funds were utilized during the 24-week covered period commencing April 16, 2020 to pay for qualified payroll and payroll related costs, and as such, requested that the entire principal balance be forgiven. The Application was approved by the lender and the SBA, and the loan with accrued interest aggregating $3,139,000 was extinguished on August 17, 2021.

On March 10, 2021, the Company secured a second-draw, $2,000,000, 1.0%, 5-year loan from the Lender pursuant to the PPP. No payments are due on this loan until the earlier of: (a) the date on which the amount of loan forgiveness determined under the CARES Act is remitted to the Lender by the SBA, (b) the date that the SBA advises Lender that all or part of the loan has not been forgiven, provided that the Company has applied for forgiveness within 10 months of the end of the forgiveness period of the loan or (c) if the Borrower fails to apply for forgiveness by the end of the forgiveness period, a date that is not earlier than the date that is 10 months after the last day of the forgiveness period. In accordance with the applicable provisions of the CARES Act, on October 28, 2021, the Company filed its forgiveness application with the Lender. The Company certified in the Application that 100% of the loaned funds were utilized during the 22-week covered period commencing March 10, 2021 to pay for qualified payroll and payroll related costs, and as such, requested that the entire principal balance be forgiven. The Application is subject to review by both the Lender and the SBA, after which the Company will be notified as to whether the Application is approved. If the Application is denied or partially approved, the Company will be required to make equal monthly payments to fully amortize any remaining balance by March 10, 2026.

On November 23, 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with a finance company. Under the agreement, the Company could borrow up to $6,000,000 prior to January 31, 2022 in increments of no less then $500,000 to purchase inventory. The agreement calls for weekly payments of 75% of the sales of inventory purchased with loan proceeds. The principal balance bears interest at the prime rate plus 6.75% per annum with the prime rate having a floor of 3.25%. Interest is accrued daily and payable monthly. In addition, the Company paid a 2% loan fee of $120,000, which amount was added to principal upon execution of the agreement. The agreement, which is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and is guaranteed by an entity that is affiliated with SOL Global, matures on November 23, 2022, and contains other customary terms and conditions for agreements of its type. As of January 29, 2022, the Company had borrowed $4,608,000 and repaid $3,731,000 resulting in a remaining principal balance of $877,000. On January 18, 2022, the agreement was amended to enable the Company to borrow an additional $2,800,000. This additional borrowing raised the combined principal balance at January 29, 2022 to $3,677,000. The additional borrowing is to be repaid in 14 weekly principal payments of $200,000 beginning February 25, 2022.

Interest expense for notes payable for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 amounted to $274,000 and $1,048,000, respectively, including accretion of discounts in Fiscal 2021 of $668,000.

Derivative Liability: In connection with the issuance by the Company during 2019 of certain convertible notes and warrants, as well as subsequent conversions of certain notes into common stock and warrants, the conversion features and warrants were deemed to qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. These warrants were valued at the issuance date and at each subsequent measurement date, and are level 3 measurements. The derivative liabilities were marked-to-market at December 31, 2019, February 1, 2020 and at March 31, 2020, the date the underlying notes were exchanged (see Note 11). The valuation at March 31, 2020 resulted in a decrease in value of the derivative liability of $543,000 that was recorded as other income for Fiscal 2021.

On January 21, 2021, the Company’s Simply Mac subsidiary issued a $400,000 unsecured short-term promissory note to Taylor Capital LLC that was outstanding at January 30, 2021. The note was scheduled to mature, and become due and payable in full, on April 21, 2021 together with a one-time fee of $20,000 plus accrued interest at the rate of 18% per annum compounded monthly. Taylor Capital is wholly owned by Kevin Taylor, the chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. In March 2021, the note and all accrued interest and fees were repaid in advance of its maturity.

On July 6, 2021, the Company issued a $1,000,000, six-month, 9% unsecured convertible note and warrant to SOL Global Investments Corp. (“SOL Global”). SOL Global is an affiliate of the Company and owns greater than 10% of its outstanding common stock. The principal and unpaid accrued interest was convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at $2.50 per share (the “Conversion Price”) and the warrant is exercisable for 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the “Exercise Price”). The warrant is exercisable beginning six months after issuance and expires 42 months from the date of issuance. The Company valued the warrants in accordance with ASC 470-20-25-2 using a binomial option pricing model. The valuation assumed a 108% volatility rate of the Company’s common stock, an estimated life of 3.5 years and a risk-free interest rate of 0.52%. The warrants were assigned a value of $743,000, which amount was recorded as a discount to the debt and a credit to additional paid in capital, resulting in an effective annual interest rate of approximately 324%. The debt discount was amortized to interest expense over the six-month life of the note on a straight-line basis, which approximated the effective interest method. Upon maturity on January 6, 2022, SOL Global converted the principal and accrued interest on the note into 418,000 shares of common stock. Interest expense on the note for Fiscal 2022 was $788,000, including accretion of $743,000.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax in multiple states and foreign jurisdictions. For all major taxing jurisdictions, the tax years 2007 through 2021 remain open to examination by the taxing authorities due to the carryforward of unutilized net operating losses.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, as realization of such assets is uncertain based on the Company’s history of operating losses. Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are shown below (in thousands):

At January 29, 2022, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $37,700,000 for federal income tax purposes, of which $27,200,000 were generated after 2017 and can be carried forward indefinitely under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The remaining federal net operating losses of $10,500,000, which were generated prior to 2018, will start to expire in 2027 if not utilized. Approximately $29,800,000 of the Company’s federal net operating loss carryforward was attributable to continuing operations, and approximately $7,900,000 was attributable to discontinued operations. At January 29, 2022, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards for state tax purposes of approximately $14,900,000 that will begin to expire in 2023 if not utilized.

Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred, or that occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of the net operating loss carryover that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders. The Company believes that ownership changes occurred in December 2016, March 2018, August 2018 and December 2019. As a result, the deferred tax asset associated with the Company’s federal and state net operating loss carryforward has been reduced based on the estimated amount of the Section 382 limitation. The Company estimates that approximately $17.3 million of its federal and state net operating loss carryforwards cannot be used in future years.

Following the Company’s adoption on January 1, 2007 of ASC 740-10 regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with the guidance. In this regard, an uncertain tax position represents the Company’s expected treatment of a tax position taken in a filed tax return, or planned to be taken in a future tax return, that has not been reflected in measuring income tax expense for financial reporting purposes. As a result of that review, the Company concluded there were no uncertain tax positions and no cumulative effect on retained earnings at the time of adoption. Subsequent to that date of adoption through January 29, 2022, the Company has continued to evaluate its tax positions and concluded that it has not had any material uncertain tax positions.

Leases

The Company leases its retail stores, distribution center and corporate and administrative office facilities under operating lease agreements which expire through September 2031. Stores range in size from small stores of only 1,000 sq.ft. to larger stores of up to 5,200 sq.ft. Store leases typically provide for an initial lease term of three to five years, while certain leases have terms of up to ten years. Certain leases have provisions calling for percentage rent, in addition to base rent, once sales exceed a minimum threshold. However, the Company believes that the minimum thresholds in such leases exceed the level of sales expected to be generated by the stores during the term of the lease. Certain leases also contain renewal options, but such options are not recognized by the Company as part of its right-of-use assets or lease liabilities because the Company does not believe it is reasonably certain it will exercise such options, due to the uncertainty of future store financial performance or the ability of the property to generate sufficient customer traffic. Operating lease expense for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 was $4,878,000 and $4,547,000, respectively. Cash paid for lease liabilities for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 was $3,320,000 and $3,790,000, respectively. There were no variable lease costs during any of the reporting periods, but the Company received $250,000 in rent abatement credits related to COVID-19 during Fiscal 2021.

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of 0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As of January 29, 2022, a total of 2,000 shares were outstanding. The preferred shares rank senior to the common stock with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding-up of the Company, and are entitled to vote on all shareholder matters. The preferred shares are essentially convertible into common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis at the election of the holder.

Common Stock and Warrants

The Company has authorized the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of common stock. As of January 29, 2022, a total of 12,886,000 shares were outstanding.

During March 2020, the Company completed the exchange of two outstanding convertible notes with a principal amount of $434,000 and related accrued interest of $8,000 into 86,800 shares of common stock at $5.10 per share in accordance with exchange agreements entered into in October 2019. The value of the stock issued in the exchange was $35,000, and the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $204,000.

Also during March 2020, the Company entered into an additional debt restructuring that resulted in the conversion of debt with an aggregate principal amount of $7,492,000 and accrued interest of $691,000 into common stock of the Company. The carrying value of the debt and related derivative liability at the time of extinguishment amounted to $8,341,000. The aggregate total of $8,183,000 was converted into 4,814,000 shares of common stock at $1.70 per share. The combined value of the stock issued in the conversion was $1,869,000, and the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $6,472,000. The restructuring also included the settlement of other outstanding claims, that resulted in the issuance of an additional 1,068,000 common shares, of which 1,040,000 shares were attributable to a royalty claim in connection with the September 2019 acquisition of Simply Mac. The $415,000 value of the 1,040,000 shares was recorded in other expenses in the Company’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and as an accrued liability at December 31, 2019. The aggregate number of common shares issued in these transactions was 5,882,000. However, pursuant to a 4.99% blocker request from the holders, only 270,000 shares have been delivered, and 5,612,000 shares remain to be delivered.

On October 14, 2020, the Company executed a 1-for-10 reverse stock split and issued 2,000 shares of common stock in lieu of fractional shares. All references to shares and per-share amounts have been restated to give effect to this reverse split.

During March and April 2021, holders of common stock warrants exercised their warrants at the exercise price of $0.50 per share. The Company issued an aggregate of 247,000 shares of common stock and received cash proceeds of $123,000.

In March, June, September and December 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 28,000 shares of common stock valued at $89,000 to three former executives in lieu of payment of accrued severance.

Stock Options and Stock-based Compensation

The Company’s 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by stockholders in June 2015 with 5,000 shares authorized for issuance thereunder. In December 2018, stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 79,000 shares. In November 2019, stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 1,500,000 shares. In December 2020, stockholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 1,500,000 shares. The Plan is intended to provide incentives to key employees, officers, directors and consultants who provide significant services to the Company. The exercise price is determined by the Compensation Committee, but must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant of such option. The Compensation Committee also establishes the vesting schedule for each option granted and the term of each option, which cannot exceed 10 years from the date of grant. In the event of termination, vested options generally must be exercised within three months. In a change of control, if outstanding awards under the Plan are assumed or substituted by a successor company, such awards do not automatically fully vest but may become fully vested in the event of a qualifying termination following such change of control.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term. Income tax effects of share-based payments are recognized in the financial statements for those awards which will normally result in tax deductions under existing tax law. Under current U.S. federal tax law, we would receive a compensation expense deduction related to non-qualified stock options only when those options are exercised and vested shares are received. Accordingly, the financial statement recognition of compensation expense for non-qualified stock options creates a deductible temporary difference which results in a deferred tax asset.

A summary of stock option activity for Fiscal 2022 is as follows (shares and aggregate intrinsic value in thousands):

|  | Shares |  |  | Wtd. Avg. Exercise Price |  |  | Wtd. Avg. Remaining Contractual Life |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (a) |
Outstanding at January 30, 2021 |  |  | 855 |  |  | $ | 1.74 |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Exercisable at January 29, 2022 |  |  | 854 |  |  | $ | 1.75 |  |  | 3.84 years |  | $ | 512 |
Non-vested at January 29, 2022 (b) |  |  | 287 |  |  | $ | 2.29 |  |  | 4.48 years |  | $ | 53 |

| (a) | The aggregate intrinsic value is based on our closing stock price of $2.32 as of January 29, 2022.

| (b) | The weighted-average grant date fair value of non-vested options at January 29, 2022 was $1.45 per share.

During Fiscal 2021, the Company granted stock options under the Plan to purchase an aggregate of 855,000 shares to employees and directors. The fair value of the option grants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: stated life of 5 years; risk-free interest rate of 0.2% to 0.3% based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant; expected dividend yield of 0% as the Company has not, and does not intend to, declare dividends; and an expected life of 2.5 years for options having immediate vesting and 3.3 years for graded vested options. The expected annualized volatility of the Company’s common stock used in the calculation ranged from 95% to 108%. Determination of the volatility rate began with the fully-observed historical volatility of the Company’s common stock dating back to March 2018, immediately following the announcement of completion of the Cooltech merger and related stock split. It was noted that the Company did not have any exchange-traded options since the Cooltech merger from which to obtain an implied volatility. Certain adjustments were then applied to the fully‑observed historical volatility through June 2020 by excluding the effects of the Company’s extraordinarily-significant announcements and events during the period. Stock option expense for the year amounted to $722,000.

During Fiscal 2022, the Company granted stock options under the Plan to purchase an aggregate of 286,000 shares to employees. The fair value of the option grants was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: stated life of 5 years; risk-free interest rate of 0.70% to 0.72% based on the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant; expected dividend yield of 0% as the Company has not, and does not intend to, declare dividends; and an expected life of 2.69 to 2.75 years. The expected annualized volatility of the Company’s common stock used in the calculation was 107%. Determination of the volatility rate utilized the same methodology as described above during Fiscal 2021. Stock option expense for the year amounted to $305,000.

In April 2020, the Company made grants of unregistered shares to two of the advisors in the aggregate amount of 300,000 shares, and a corresponding reduction of warrants on 300,000 shares previously issued to the advisors. On a combined basis, the shares issued were valued at $216,000, and the warrant reductions were valued at $89,000, resulting in a net compensation expense of $127,000. In December 2020, the advisors exercised warrants on an aggregate of 453,000 shares for an exercise price of $227,000, leaving warrants on 247,000 shares unexercised. The unexercised warrants were set to expire on January 6, 2021. The Company agreed to extend the expiration date of the warrants by four months to May 6, 2021. The warrant modifications were valued in accordance with ASC 718 using the same assumptions in the original valuation, but no additional compensation expense was valued or recorded in Fiscal 2021.

In June 2020, the Company made stock grants under the Plan in an aggregate amount of 295,000 shares to its board of directors. The stock was valued at $390,000 based on the closing market price on the date of grant, which amount was also recorded as compensation expense.

In November 2021, the Company made restricted stock grants under the Plan in an aggregate amount of 750,000 shares to its board of directors and an employee. The stock was valued at $1,898,000 based on the closing market price on the date of grant, which amount is being recorded as compensation expense based on the vesting schedule. Compensation expense related to the restricted stock grants recorded in Fiscal 2022 amounted to $780,000.

Additional compensation expense for vesting of previously issued restricted shares during Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 amounted to $17,000 and $93,000, respectively, bringing total stock-based compensation expense for Fiscal 2022 and Fiscal 2021 to $1,103,000 and $1,332,000, respectively. Future stock-based compensation related to unvested restricted stock and stock options at January 29, 2022 amounts to $1,416,000.
