PART I

        When used in this report, the terms "Summer," "the Company," "we," "us," and "our" mean Summer Infant, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Note that all dollar amounts in Part I are in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.

Item 1.    Business

General

        Founded in 1985 and publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market since 2007 under the symbol "SUMR," we are a global designer, marketer, and distributor of branded juvenile health, safety and wellness products (for ages 0-3 years) that are sold principally to large North American and European retailers.

        We currently market our products in the monitoring, health and safety, nursery, baby gear, feeding, and furniture product categories. Most of our products are sold under our core brand names of Summer® and Born Free®. We also market certain products under license agreements.

        Our products are sold globally primarily to large, national retailers as well as independent retailers. In North America, our customers include Babies R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon.com, Buy Buy Baby, Burlington Coat Factory, Kmart, Home Depot, and Lowe's. Our largest European-based customers are Mothercare, Toys R Us, Argos and Tesco. We also sell through international distributors, representatives, and to select international retail customers in geographic locations where we do not have a direct sales presence.

        The juvenile products industry is estimated to be $18 billion worldwide and consumer focus is on quality, safety, innovation, and style. Due to the halo effect of baby products in retail stores, there also is a strong retailer commitment to the juvenile category.

        Our principal executive office is located at 1275 Park East Drive, Woonsocket, Rhode Island 02895. Our telephone number is 401-671-6550. Our internet address is www.summerinfant.com. We maintain sales, marketing and distribution offices in Canada, Australia and England, which services the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. We maintain a product development, engineering and quality assurance office in Hong Kong.

Strategy

        Historically, we have focused on growing sales through a combination of increased product penetration and store penetration, offering new products, adding new mass merchant retail customers and distribution channels, international expansion, and acquisitions. At the end of 2012, we began reviewing our business strategy and the profitability of our product lines.

        While the refinement of our business strategy is ongoing, we have identified below four key areas of our strategy going forward:

1


Table of Contents

        By renewing our focus on these core strengths as well as a focus on gross margins and a return on capital, we expect to drive future growth, improve profitability and to further develop and strengthen our relationships with our suppliers, retail customers and end-users of our products.

        We believe that, based on our core strengths and strategic priorities, we are well-positioned to capitalize on positive market trends including that U.S. birth rates are predicted to increase over the next several years.

Products

        We currently market more than 1,100 products in several product categories including monitoring, health and safety, nursery, baby gear, feeding products, and furniture. No single product sold generated more than 10% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2013. The majority of our products are sold under the Summer® and Born Free® brands.

        Anchor products in our product categories include the following:

Monitoring
  Health & Safety   Nursery   Baby Gear   Feeding Products   Furniture
Wi-Fi Internet   Gates   Swaddle   Strollers   Bottles   Cribs
Video   Bath   Travel Accessories   Bassinets   Drinking Cups   Changing Tables
Movement   Potties   Safe Sleep   High Chairs   Bibs & Placemats   Dressers
    Boosters   Soothers   Travel Systems   Electronics    
    Super Seats       Playards   Pacifiers    

Product Development and Design

        Product development drives innovation, a critical element of our strategy. We strive to produce proprietary products that offer distinctive benefits, are visually appealing, and provide convenience to the consumer. Our retail customers are strategically motivated to buy innovative products to provide differentiation from their competitors. We design the majority of our own products and our main

Table of Contents

product development efforts are located at our Rhode Island headquarters. We also have development efforts in China and the United Kingdom. In addition to new product development, we continuously look for ways to improve upon existing products based on feedback from our customers and focus on the end-user experience, safety, and opportunities to improve our cost structure and pricing.

        We engage in market research and test marketing to evaluate consumer reactions to our products. We also research customer buying trends and analyze information from retail stores, customer surveys, our sales force, focus groups, on-line surveys, industry experts, vendors, and our product development personnel. We continually analyze our products to determine whether they should be upgraded, modified, and/or discontinued.

        In 2013, we launched our Baby Link™ WiFi Series, a fully-featured internet viewing system and will seek to expand this monitor series into new markets in 2014 including eldercare/caregiver monitoring as well as the pet and home surveillance markets. In 2014, we also plan to introduce many other new products including the Pop n' Play™ Portable Playard, and new 3D Lite™ strollers and Fuze™ Travel systems.

Suppliers and Manufacturing

        Substantially all of our products are manufactured in Asia (primarily China) and Israel. We also use several manufacturers in the United States for certain injection molded products, including bath tubs, potty seats and booster seats, which together account for approximately 11% of our annual sales in 2013.

        We are not dependent on any one supplier because we use many different manufacturers and we own the tooling and molds used for our products. Our Hong Kong subsidiary provides us with a local sourcing presence and the ability to oversee quality, electronic engineering and other issues that may arise during production. Generally, we buy finished goods from manufacturers and thus are not directly procuring raw materials for product manufacturing. Historically, we have not experienced any significant disruption of supply as a result of raw material shortages or other manufacturing factors, but there is the possibility that shortages could occur in the future based on a variety of factors beyond our control.

        Transportation of Asia-made goods to our warehouses typically takes three to four weeks, depending on the location of the warehouse. We maintain our inventory at warehouses located in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Most of our customers pick up their goods at regional warehouses. We also use UPS and other common carriers to arrange shipments to customers (primarily smaller retailers and specialty stores) that request such arrangements. In 2012, we implemented a direct import program, in order to reduce costs and shipping time to certain customers.

Sales and Marketing

        Our products are largely marketed and sold through our own direct global sales force, many of whom are industry experienced professionals. We have also established a strong network of independent manufacturers' representatives and distributors that provide sales and customer service support for the remaining portion of North American and international sales. E-commerce sales have continued to grow during recent years consistent with increased online shopping by consumers.

        Sales are recognized upon transfer of title of product to our customers and are made utilizing standard credit terms of 30 to 60 days. We generally accept returns only for defective merchandise.

        Marketing, promotion and consumer education are important parts of the juvenile products industry. Historically, a significant percentage of our promotional spending has been structured in coordination with our large retail partners. In 2013, we increased spending on awareness and outreach

3


Table of Contents

programs to both our retail partners and our end-use consumers. In further support of this communication effort, we have also improved our website with added new functionality and capabilities.

        In addition, we will continue to support the promotion and presence of Summer® branded products in the marketplace with our new showroom and planogram space at our Rhode Island headquarters, continued participation at select industry trade shows, trade and consumer advertising, as well as enhanced internet based promotional activities.

        Customer service is a critical component of our marketing strategy. We maintain an internal customer service department that responds to customer inquiries, investigates and resolves issues and generally assists customers and consumers on a 24/7 basis.

Competition

        The juvenile product industry has many participants, none of which have dominant market share, though certain companies may have disproportionate strength in certain product categories. We compete with a number of different companies, depending on the product category, and compete against no single company across all of our product categories. Our largest direct competitors are Dorel Industries (including Safety 1st and Cosco brands), Evenflo (Evenflo, Gerry, and Snugli brands), Kid Brands, Inc., Fisher-Price (part of Mattel, Inc.), The First Years (a subsidiary of Tomy Corporation) and Graco (a subsidiary of Newell Rubbermaid). In addition, we compete in several of our product lines with a number of private companies, such as KidCo, Inc. and Munchkin.

        The primary methods of competition in the industry consist of product innovation, brand positioning, quality, price timely distribution, and other factors. Our competitive strengths include our ability to develop innovative new products, brand awareness, our relationships with major retailers, and the quality and pricing of our products.

Intellectual Property

        We rely on a combination of patents, licenses and trade secrets to protect our intellectual property. Our patents currently in effect include various design features related to bedrails, safety gates, infant car seats, bouncers, and bathers, with several other patents under review by the USPTO. The patents expire at various times during the next 17 years. Our focus on continuous product improvement and innovation provides constant strength and renewal of our patent portfolio. We also have license agreements relating to the use of patented technology owned by third parties in certain of our products. In certain circumstances, if we do not believe we have appropriate expertise, we will partner with third parties to develop proprietary products.

Customers

        Our top seven customers together comprised more than 78% of our sales in 2013 and 81% in 2012. These customers include Babies R Us/Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon.com, Burlington Coat Factory, Buy Buy Baby, and K-Mart. Of these customers, three generated more than 10% of sales for fiscal 2013: Babies R Us/Toys R Us (31%), Walmart (19%) and Target (11%). In fiscal 2012, three customers generated more than 10% of sales: Babies R Us/Toys R Us (36%), Walmart (19%) and Target (10%).

        We have no long-term contracts with these customers and because of the concentration of our business with these customers, our success depends heavily on our customers' willingness to purchase and provide shelf space for our products.

Seasonality

        We do not see significant variations in seasonal demand for our products. Sales history has exhibited some higher volume at times associated with initial shipments of new products. These orders usually incorporate enough product inventory to fill each store plus additional amounts to be kept at the customer's distribution center. The timing of these initial shipments varies by customer depending on when they finalize store layouts for the upcoming year, and whether there are any mid-year product introductions.

Table of Contents

Geographic Regions

        North America accounted for approximately 92% and 93% of our total net sales in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Remaining sales were in the United Kingdom and all other geographies.

Regulatory Matters

        We obtain all necessary regulatory agency approvals for each of our products. In the United States, these approvals may include, among others: Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC"), the American Society of Test Methods ("ASTM"), the Juvenile Products Manufacturing Association ("JPMA"), the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") and the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). We conduct our own internal testing, utilizing a "foreseeable use and abuse" testing method that is designed to subject each product to the "worst case scenario." Our products are also frequently tested by independent government certified labs.

Insurance

        We carry product liability insurance that provides us with $15,000 of liability coverage with a minimal deductible. We consult with our insurers to ascertain appropriate liability coverage for our product mix. We believe our current coverage is adequate for our existing business and will continue to evaluate our coverage in the future in line with our expanding sales and product breadth.

Employees

        As of December 31, 2013, we had approximately 211 employees, 207 who were full time employees, and 112 of whom work in our headquarters in Rhode Island. Our employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our employee relations to be good.

Available Information

        We maintain our corporate website at www.summerinfant.com and we make available, free of charge, through this website our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports that we file with or furnish to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file that material with, or furnish it to, the SEC. You may also read and copy any material filed by us with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, and you may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC in the U.S. at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet website, www.sec.gov, that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information that we file electronically with the SEC. Our website also includes corporate governance information, including our Code of Ethics and our Board Committee Charters. The information contained on our website does not constitute a part of this report.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

        If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline.

5


Table of Contents

The concentration of our business with a base of retail customers that make no binding long-term commitments means that economic difficulties or changes in the purchasing policies of our major customers could have a significant impact on our business.

        A small number of large, retail customers account for a majority of our sales. In fiscal 2013, Babies R Us/Toys R Us generated 31% of our total sales, two other customers accounted for more than 10% of our sales, and a total of seven customers accounted for more than 78% of our total sales. We have no long-term contracts with these customers and because of the significant concentration of our business with these customers, our success depends on our customers' willingness to continue to purchase and provide shelf space for our products. An adverse change in our relationship with any of our large customers could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Liquidity or other financial problems of our key customers could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Sales we make to customers are typically made on credit without collateral. There is a risk that key customers will not pay, or that payment may be delayed, because of contraction of credit availability to such customers, weak retail sales or other factors beyond our control, which could increase our exposure to losses from bad debts. In addition, if key customers were to cease doing business or significantly reduce the number of stores operated, it could have a significant adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our ability to grow and compete will be harmed if we do not successfully satisfy consumer preferences, enhance existing products, develop and introduce new products, and achieve market acceptance of those products.

        Our business and operating results depend largely upon providing our customers products that appeal to the end user. Consumer preferences, particularly among parents whom are often the end purchasers of our products, are constantly changing. Our success largely depends on our ability to identify emerging trends in the infant and juvenile health, safety and wellness marketplace, and to design quality products that address consumer preferences and prove safe and cost effective. Our product offerings compete with those of many other larger companies. Many of these companies enjoy broad brand recognition and significant distribution channel relationships, and as a result our market position is always at risk.

        Our ability to maintain and increase our current market share will depend upon our ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and satisfy these preferences, enhance existing products, develop and introduce new products and establish and grow distribution channels for these products, and ultimately achieve market acceptance of these products.

An inability to develop and introduce planned new products or product lines in a timely and cost-effective manner may damage our business.

        In developing new products and product lines, we have anticipated dates for the associated product introductions. When we state that we will introduce, or anticipate introducing, a particular product or product line at a certain time in the future those expectations are based on completing the associated development, implementation, marketing work, and manufacturing in accordance with our currently anticipated development schedule. There is no guarantee that we will be able to manufacture, source and ship new products in a timely manner and on a cost-effective basis to meet constantly changing customer demands. The risk is also heightened by the sophistication of certain products we are designing, in terms of combining digital and analog technologies, utilizing digital media to a greater degree, and providing greater innovation and product differentiation. Unforeseen delays or difficulties in the development process, significant increases in the planned cost of development, changes in

6


Table of Contents

anticipated consumer demand for our products, and delays in the manufacturing process may cause the introduction date for products to be later than anticipated or, in some situations, may cause a product introduction to be discontinued.

The intense competition in our markets could reduce our net sales and profitability.

        We operate in a highly competitive market and compete with several large domestic and foreign companies and with other producers of infant and juvenile products. Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than us. In addition, we may face competition from new participants in our markets because the infant and juvenile product industry has low barriers to entry. We experience price competition for our products and competition for shelf space at retailers, all of which may increase in the future. If we cannot compete successfully in the future, our net sales and profitability will likely decline.

We rely on external financing to help fund our operations. Covenants in our debt agreements may affect our liquidity or limit our ability to complete acquisitions, incur debt, make investments, sell assets, merge or complete other significant transactions.

        To meet our working capital needs, we rely on our revolving credit facility for working capital. In 2013, we entered into a new credit agreement expiring in 2018, which provides for an $80 million committed, asset-based revolving credit facility, and a $15 million secured term loan. These agreements contain certain covenants that place limitations on or restrict a number of our activities, including our ability to:

        In addition, these agreements contain financial covenants that were set at the time we entered into the agreements. Our performance and financial condition may not meet our original expectations, causing us to fail to meet such financial covenants. These restrictive covenants may limit our ability to engage in acts that may be in our best long-term interests. Non-compliance with the covenants in these agreements could result in us being unable to utilize borrowings under our revolving credit facility, a circumstance which potentially could occur when operating shortfalls would most require supplementary borrowings to enable us to continue to fund our operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient available cash flow to service our outstanding debt we would need to refinance such debt or face default. There is no guarantee that we would be able to refinance debt on favorable terms, or at all.

Deviations from expected results of operations and expected cash requirements could result in a failure to meet financial covenants under our debt agreements which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        Any significant deviation in actual results from our expected results of operations, or in the timing of material expenditures from current estimates, any significant business or product acquisitions, or other significant unanticipated expenses could result in us not meeting our financial covenants under the terms of our credit facility and term loan. In such circumstances, our lenders could declare a default, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If access to our credit facility is limited or terminated, our liquidity would be constrained, affecting our operations and growth prospects, and we would need to seek additional equity or debt financing. There is no assurance that such financing would be available on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, any equity financing may result in dilution to existing stockholders and any debt financing may include restrictive covenants that could impede our ability to effectively operate and grow our business in the future.

Table of Contents

We are dependent on key personnel, and our ability to grow and compete in our industry will be harmed if we do not retain the continued services of our key personnel, or we fail to identify, hire, and retain additional qualified personnel.

        Our success depends on the efforts of our senior management team and other key personnel. Although we believe that we have a strong management team, the loss of services of members of our senior management team, such as the recent departure of our Chief Executive Officer, whom have substantial experience in the infant and juvenile health, safety and wellness markets could have an adverse effect on our business.

        In addition, if we expect to grow our operations, it will be necessary for us to attract and retain additional qualified personnel. The market for qualified and talented product development personnel in the consumer goods market, and specifically in the infant and juvenile health, safety and wellness products market, is intensely competitive. If we are unable to attract or retain qualified personnel as needed, the growth of our operations could be slowed or hampered.

We rely on foreign suppliers in Asia to manufacture the majority of our products, and any adverse change in our relationship with our suppliers could harm our business.

        We rely on numerous third-party suppliers located in Asia for the manufacture of most of our products. While we believe that alternative suppliers could be located if required, our product sourcing could be affected if any of these suppliers do not continue to manufacture our products in required quantities or at all, or with the required levels of quality. We enter into purchase orders with our foreign suppliers and do not enter into any long-term supply contracts. In addition, difficulties encountered by these suppliers, such as fire, accident, natural disasters, outbreaks of contagious diseases, or political unrest, could halt or disrupt production at the affected locations, resulting in delay or cancellation of orders. Any of these events could result in delayed deliveries by us of our products, causing reduced sales and harm to our reputation and brand name.

Increases in the cost of materials or labor used to manufacture our products could decrease our profitability and therefore negatively impact our business and financial condition.

        Because our products are manufactured by third-party suppliers, we do not directly purchase the materials used in the manufacture of our products. However, the prices paid by us to these suppliers could increase if raw materials, labor, or other costs increase. If we cannot pass these increases along to our customers, our profitability will be adversely affected.

Because we rely on foreign suppliers and we sell in foreign markets, we are subject to numerous risks associated with international business that could increase our costs or disrupt the supply of our products, resulting in a negative impact on our business and financial condition.

        Our international operations subject us to risks, including:

8


Table of Contents

        Any of these events or circumstances could disrupt the supply of our products or increase our expenses. Because of the importance of our international sourcing of manufacturing to our business, our financial condition and results of operations could be significantly harmed if any of the risks described above were to occur or if we are otherwise unsuccessful in managing our global operations.

Intellectual property claims relating to our products could increase our costs and adversely affect our business.

        We have, from time to time, received claims of alleged infringement of patents relating to certain of our products, and we may face similar claims in the future. These claims relate to alleged patent infringement and are primarily the result of newly-issued patents that were not in force when we initially brought the subject products to market. The defense of intellectual property claims can be costly and time consuming, even in circumstances where the claim is without merit. We may be required to pay substantial damages or settlement costs in order to resolve these types of claims. In addition, these claims could materially harm our brand name, reputation and operations.

Product liability, product recalls, and other claims relating to the use of our products could increase our costs.

        Because we produce infant and juvenile health, safety and wellness consumer products, we face product liability risks relating to the use by consumers of our products. We also must comply with a variety of product safety and product testing regulations. In particular, our products are subject to the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act ("FHSA") and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act ("CPSIA"), which empower the Consumer Product Safety Commission (the "CPSC"), to take action against hazards presented by consumer products. With expanded authority under the CPSIA, the CPSC has and continues to adopt new regulations for safety and products testing that apply to our products. These new regulations have or likely will significantly increase the regulatory requirements governing the manufacture and sale of children's products and increase the potential penalties for noncompliance with applicable regulations. The CPSC has the authority to exclude from the market and recall certain consumer products that are found to be potentially hazardous. Consumer product safety laws also exist in some states and cities within the United States and in Canada and Europe, as well as certain other countries. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations, or if we face product liability claims, we may be subject to damage awards or settlement costs that exceed any available insurance coverage and we may incur significant costs in complying with recall requirements. Furthermore, concerns about potential liability may lead us to recall voluntarily selected products. For instance in 2011, we undertook voluntary action to re-label our audio/video nursery monitors and recorded a charge in connection with the settlement of outstanding litigation related to our analog video nursery monitors. Complying with existing or any such additional regulations or requirements could impose increased costs on our business. Similarly, increased penalties for non-compliance could subject us to greater expense in the event any of our products were found to not comply with such regulations.

We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities, that, if not identified, could negatively affect our consolidated operating results and net worth.

        Our provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by nondeductible equity-based compensation, earnings being lower than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory rates and being higher than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory rates, transfer pricing adjustments, not meeting the terms and conditions of tax holidays or incentives, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in actual results

versus our estimates, or changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof, and taxes relating to deemed dividends resulting from foreign guarantees made by certain of our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, like other companies, we may be subject to examination of our income tax returns by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities. While we regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes from such examinations and the adequacy of our provision for income taxes, there can be no assurance that such provision is sufficient and that a determination by a tax authority will not have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

A material impairment in the carrying value of acquired goodwill or other intangible assets could negatively affect our consolidated operating results and net worth.

        A portion of our assets are intangible, which are reviewed on an annual basis and whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of these assets exceeds the current fair value, the asset is considered impaired and is reduced to fair value, resulting in a non-cash charge to earnings during the period in which any impairment is determined. Events and conditions that could result in impairment include a sustained drop in the market price of our common stock, increased competition or loss of market share, product innovation or obsolescence, or a decline of our business related to acquired companies. In 2012, we recorded an aggregate non-cash impairment charge of $69,796, consisting of a write down of goodwill of $61,908 and a write down of a portion of intangible assets of $7,888. We cannot accurately predict the amount and timing of any future impairment of assets.

We may experience difficulties in identifying suitable acquisition targets and integrating strategic acquisitions.

        In the past, we have made strategic acquisitions and continue to pursue acquisitions that are consistent with our business strategy and enable us to leverage our competitive strengths. While we continue to evaluate potential acquisitions, we may not be able to identify and successfully negotiate suitable acquisitions, obtain financing for future acquisitions on satisfactory terms, obtain regulatory approval for certain acquisitions or otherwise complete acquisitions in the future. An inability to identify future acquisitions could limit our future growth.

        The integration of operations of any company we do acquire involves a number of risks, including unanticipated costs relating to the integration of acquired business, difficulties in achieving planned cost-savings and synergies and the diversion of management's attention to integration could impair their ability to effectively manage our business operations. In addition, any future acquisition may result in issuances of dilutive equity securities, which may be sold at a discount to market price, the incurrence of debt, unfavorable financing terms, large one-time expenses and the creation of intangible assets, including goodwill, the write-down of which may result in significant charges to earnings.

Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile.

        The market price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. When we or our competitors announce new products, experience quarterly fluctuations in operating results, announce strategic relationships, acquisitions or dispositions, change earnings estimates, published financial results or other material news, our stock price is often affected. The volatility of our stock price may be accentuated during periods of low volume trading, which may require a stockholder wishing to sell a large number of shares to do so in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of the sales on the market price of our stock.

We rely on information technology in our operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption, or security failure of that technology could harm our ability to effectively operate our business.

        We rely on information technology systems across our operations, including for management of our supply chain, sale and delivery of our products, and various other processes and transactions, including credit card processing for online sales. Our ability to effectively manage our business and coordinate the production, distribution, and sale of our products depends on the reliability and capacity of these systems and in some instances third-party service providers. The failure of these systems to operate effectively due to service interruptions, problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems, or a breach in security of these systems could cause delays in product sales and reduced efficiency of our operations, loss of proprietary data or customer information, and capital investments could be required to remediate the problem.

Anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents and Delaware law may limit the ability of our stockholders to control our policies and effect a change of control of our company and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, which may not be in your best interests.

        There are provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws that may discourage a third party from making a proposal to acquire us, even if some of our stockholders might consider the proposal to be in their best interests, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management. These provisions include provisions in our certificate of incorporation that authorize our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval and to establish the preferences and rights of any preferred stock issued, which would allow the board to issue one or more classes or series of preferred stock that could discourage or delay a tender offer or change in control, and provisions in our bylaws that require advance written notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

        Additionally, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which, in general, imposes restrictions upon acquirers of 15% or more of our stock. Finally, the board of directors may in the future adopt other protective measures, such as a stockholder rights plan, which could delay, deter or prevent a change of control.

Item 1B.    Unresolved Staff Comments

Item 2.    Properties

        We are headquartered in a 52,000 square facility in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. We have a seven year lease on this facility expiring in 2016, with an option to extend for an additional five years. We also lease small offices in Arkansas, Canada, Israel, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.

        We maintain inventory at leased warehouses in California (approximately 442,000 square feet), Canada (approximately 61,000 square feet), Australia (third party warehouse) and the United Kingdom (approximately 16,000 square feet). These leases expire at various times between 2014 and 2018.

Item 3.    Legal Proceedings

        From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

Company Overview

        Founded in 1985 and publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market since 2007 under the symbol "SUMR," we are a global designer, marketer, and distributor of branded juvenile health, safety and wellness products (for ages 0-3 years) that are sold principally to large North American and European retailers.

        We currently market our products in the monitoring, health and safety, nursery, baby gear, feeding, and furniture product categories. Most of our products are sold under our core brand names of Summer® and Born Free®. We also market certain products under license agreements.

        Our products are sold globally primarily to large, national retailers as well as independent retailers. In North America, our customers include Babies R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon.com, Buy Buy Baby, Burlington Coat Factory, Kmart, Home Depot, and Lowe's. Our largest European-based customers are Mothercare, Toys R Us, Argos and Tesco. We also sell through several international representatives to select international retail customers in geographic locations where we do not have a direct sales presence.

        The juvenile products industry is estimated to be $18 billion worldwide and consumer focus is on quality, safety, innovation, and style. Due to the halo effect of baby products in retail stores, there also is a strong retailer commitment to the juvenile category.

Strategy

        Historically, we have focused on growing sales through a combination of increased product penetration and store penetration, offering new products, adding new mass merchant retail customers and distribution channels, international expansion, and acquisitions. At the end of 2012, we began reviewing our business strategy and the profitability of our product lines.

        While the refinement of our business strategy is ongoing, we have identified below four key areas of our strategy going forward:

13


Table of Contents

        By renewing our focus on these core strengths, as well as a focus on gross margins and a return on capital, we expect to drive future growth, improve profitability and to further develop and strengthen our relationships with our suppliers, retail customers and end-users of our products.

        We believe that, based on our core strengths and strategic priorities, we are well-positioned to capitalize on positive market trends including that U.S. birth rates are predicted to increase over the next several years after several years of low birth rates.

2013 Activities

Cost Reduction Initiatives

        The Company implemented several cost reduction initiatives in the third quarter of 2012 designed to lower promotional costs and advertising expenses, reduce operating costs, and improve margins. These initiatives have resulted in tighter controls of retailer program costs, a reduction in worldwide headcount, a reduction in executive salaries, voluntary reduction in board of director compensation, cuts in overhead spending relating to discontinuing various outside services, and negotiated lower professional service fees. Additional headcount reductions were initiated in the first quarter of 2013. In November 2013, the Company initiated additional cost reduction actions, including global staff reductions, and reductions in temporary labor, professional fees and outside services which resulted in a fourth quarter of 2013 charge of $614. We expect the actions taken in 2013 will result in additional annual cost savings of approximately $4,000 beginning in 2014.

New Credit Facility and Term Loan

        In February 2013, we entered into a new loan and security agreement (the "BofA Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, the financial institutions party to the agreement from time to time as lenders. The BofA Agreement replaces our prior credit facility with Bank of America that was set to expire in December 2013.

        The BofA Agreement provides for an $80,000, asset-based revolving credit facility, with a $10,000 letter of credit sub-line facility. The total borrowing capacity is based on a borrowing base, which is defined as 85% of eligible receivables plus the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of eligible inventory or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory and less reserves. The scheduled maturity date of loans under the BofA Agreement is February 28, 2018 (subject to customary early termination provisions). All obligations under the BofA Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, subject to the first priority lien on certain assets held by our term loan lender described below. Proceeds from the loans were used to satisfy existing debt, pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of the BofA Agreement, pay obligations under the BofA Agreement, make payments on the term loan described below, and for lawful corporate purposes,

14


Table of Contents

including working capital. As a result of our refinancing, interest expense attributable to our new credit facilities is lower on comparable debt levels than our prior loan agreement in the latter half of 2013.

        In February 2013, we entered into a new term loan agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement") with Salus Capital Partners, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and each lender from time to time a party to the Term Loan Agreement providing for a $15,000 term loan (the "Term Loan"). Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay certain existing debt, to finance the acquisition of working capital assets in the ordinary course of business and capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes. The Term Loan is secured by certain assets of the Company, including a first priority lien on intellectual property, plant, property and equipment, and a pledge of 65% of the ownership interests in certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Term Loan matures on February 28, 2018.

        As discussed in the Note 5 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below, in November 2013, we entered into amendments to each of the BofA Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement that modified the financial covenants with which we are required to comply. As a result of these amendments, from and after September 30, 2013, we are no longer subject to a minimum, monthly EBITDA covenant, and our fixed charge coverage ratio is tested monthly on a trailing 12-month basis, and beginning with the period ending February 28, 2014, our senior leverage ratio will be tested monthly on a trailing 12-month basis.

Other Activities

        In the first quarter of 2013, we announced that we were in the process of exiting our licensing arrangements with Disney® and Carters® and will focus on building our own Summer® and Born Free® branded products. As a result of these exit activities and the continued reduction in non-performing product SKUs, we generated lower license based sales and had a higher level of closeout and promotional sales at lower margins for the year ending December 31, 2013 that affected our gross profit and gross margins as compared to the year ending December 31, 2012.

        On June 27, 2013, consistent with our strategy to provide innovative products to our customers, we acquired the assets of Little Looster, LLC, a designer and manufacturer of the award-winning Little Looster™ potty training step stool. Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired all intellectual property and tooling for manufacturing, for a purchase price of approximately $100 in cash and an ongoing royalty agreement.

        On September 13, 2013, we acquired the assets of Pink Magnolia, LLC, a designer and manufacturer of a nursing light product to assist breast feeding mothers known as the "Nighty Night Nursing Light." Under the terms of the transaction, we acquired all intellectual property and tooling for manufacturing for a purchase price of approximately $12 in cash and an ongoing royalty agreement.

Recent Developments

        In January 2014, we announced changes in our executive leadership team. Effective February 1, 2014, Carol Bramson, a member of our Board of Directors, was appointed Chief Executive Officer to replace Jason Macari, the Company's founder. Mr. Macari continues to serve on the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, we announced that Ken Price joined the Company as President of Global Sales & Marketing, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, to oversee the sales and marketing of Summer Infant's product lines, manage the sales and marketing staff, and assist in the preparation of sales projections and operating budgets.

Outlook

        Our business, financial condition and results of operations have and may continue to be affected by various economic factors. Although other factors will likely impact us, including some we do not foresee and those disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, we believe our performance in 2014 will continue to be affected by the following:

Summary of critical accounting policies and estimates

        This summary of our critical accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding our consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of our management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

        We make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The accounting policies described below are those we consider critical in preparing our financial statements. Some of these policies include significant estimates made by management using information available at the time the estimates were made. However, these estimates could change materially if different information or assumptions were used.

Revenue recognition

        We record revenue when all of the following occur: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of provisions for returns and allowances, cash discounts and markdowns. We base our estimates for discounts, returns and allowances on negotiated customer terms, and historical experience. These estimates are subject to variability, as actual deductions taken by customers may be different from the estimates recorded. Customers do not have the right to return products unless the products are defective. We record a reduction of sales for estimated future defective product deductions based on historical experience.

        Sales incentives or other consideration given by us to customers that are considered adjustments of the selling price of its products, such as markdowns, are reflected as reductions of revenue. Sales

16


Table of Contents

incentives and other consideration that represent costs incurred by us for assets or services received, such as the appearance of our products in a customer's national circular ad (co-op advertising), are reflected as selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of income.

Trade receivables

        Trade receivables are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, we estimate doubtful accounts based on historical bad debt, factors related to specific customers' ability to pay and current economic trends. We write off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible.

        We do not accrue interest on trade receivables. A receivable is considered past due if payments have not been received within the credit terms on the account, typically 30-60 days for most customers.

        We will turn an account over for collection around 120 days past due. Accounts are considered uncollectible if no payments are received 60 to 90 days after they have been turned over for collection.

Allowance for doubtful accounts

        The allowance for doubtful accounts represents adjustments to customer trade accounts receivable for amounts deemed uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces gross trade receivables to their estimated net realizable value. The allowance is based on our assessment of the business environment, customers' financial condition, historical trends, customer payment practices, receivable aging and customer disputes. We will continue to proactively review our credit risks and adjust customer terms to reflect the current environment.

Inventory Valuation

        Inventory is comprised of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost, inclusive of freight and duty, or market (net realizable value) using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Our warehousing costs are charged to expense as incurred. We regularly review slow-moving and excess inventory, and write-down inventories as appropriate. Management uses estimates to record write-downs based on its review of inventory by product category, including length of time on hand and estimates of future orders for each product. Changes in consumer preferences, as well as demand for products, customer buying patterns and inventory management could impact the inventory valuation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets with Finite Lives

        We review long-lived assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when its carrying amount exceeds both the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition and the assets' fair value. Long-lived assets include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is charged by the Company to current operations.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

        The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with accounting guidance that requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested annually for impairment and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company's annual impairment testing is conducted in the fourth quarter of every year.

        The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the asset's fair value to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the excess of the

17


Table of Contents

carrying amount over fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and the adjusted carrying amount becomes the assets' new accounting basis.

        Management also evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life.

        The Company tests goodwill for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of its single reporting unit with its carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value of the single reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is considered not impaired, thus rendering unnecessary the second step in impairment testing. If the fair value of the single reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed in which the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is compared to the carrying value of the goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is determined based on the difference between the fair value of the single reporting unit and the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the single reporting unit. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recognized as an impairment charge.

Income taxes

        Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry forwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence; it is more likely than not that such benefit will be realized.

        The Company recognized interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at December 31, 2013. Our federal tax returns for 2009 were audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in 2012. All audit adjustments have been recorded without significant impact on our results of operations. On a global basis, the open tax years subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates is between two to six years.

Year ended December 31, 2013 compared with year ended December 31, 2012

        Net sales decreased 15.8% from $247,227 in the year ended December 31, 2012 to $208,173 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decline was primarily attributable to exiting our licensing arrangements with Carters® and Disney® to focus on building our own Summer® and Born Free® branded products, a decline in monitor sales as a result of increased competition, and lower sales with a major retail customer. As a result, sales in most product categories were flat or declined with the exception of our safety category which increased in 2013. These declines were partially offset by growth in other customer accounts and growth in our core branded product offerings.

        Cost of goods sold includes the cost of the finished product from suppliers, duties on certain imported items, freight-in from suppliers, and miscellaneous charges.

        Gross profit decreased 18.5% from $79,772 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $65,007 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Gross margin decreased from 32.3% for the year ended December 31, 2012 to 31.2% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decline in gross profit dollars and gross margin percent is attributable to the decline in sales and the mix of products sold, as we had a higher amount of close-out and promotional sales in the 2013 period as a result of our product SKU rationalization and activities relating to the discontinuation of certain licensing agreements.

        General and administrative expenses decreased 8.8% from $41,674 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $38,022 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decline in general and administrative expense dollars is attributable to cost reduction activities initiated in 2012 and the first quarter of 2013.

        Selling expenses decreased 28.2% from $29,009 for the year ended December 31, 2012 to $20,839 for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease in dollars and as a percent of sales was primarily attributable to the decline in sales as well as lower royalty costs under licensing agreements as part of discontinuing certain licensing arrangements.

        Due to the sustained decrease in our results of operations (below forecasts) and stock price during the third quarter of 2012, we undertook a goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis and engaged a third party to assist management in valuing goodwill and other intangible assets recorded on our balance sheet in the third quarter of 2012. As a result, management determined that the estimated fair value of certain indefinite lived intangibles and implied fair value of our goodwill were lower than their respective carrying value, and the Company recorded an aggregate non-cash impairment charge of $69,796 in 2012. The non-cash impairment charge consisted of a write down of goodwill of $61,908 and a write down of a portion of intangible assets of $7,888. These charges affected our financial condition and results of operations for 2012; however, they had no impact on our day-to-day operations or liquidity and did not result in any future cash expenditures. There was no such charge in 2013.

        Depreciation and amortization decreased 17.0% from $7,566 in the year ended December 31, 2012 to $6,280 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in depreciation is attributable to a reduction in capital investment as a result of disciplined capital expenditure management partially offset by higher amortization on newly defined finite-lived intangible assets established in the fourth quarter of 2012.

        Interest expense decreased 3.6% from $4,148 in the year ended December 31, 2012 to $3,999 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Interest expense decreased as a result of lower interest rates and lower debt balances on a year over year basis.

        For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a $1,318 tax benefit on $4,133 of pretax loss, resulting in a 31.9% tax rate for the year. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a $6,768 benefit for income taxes on $72,421 of pretax loss, resulting in a 9.3% tax rate for the year. The tax benefit in 2012 was primarily attributable to a $6,000 benefit recorded related to the deferred tax adjustment resulting from the impairment of goodwill and intangible asset charge taken during the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        We generally fund our operations and working capital needs through cash generated from operations and borrowings under our credit facility.

        In our typical operational cash flow cycle, inventory is purchased in U.S. dollars to meet expected demand plus a safety stock. Because the majority of our suppliers are based in Asia, inventory takes from three to four weeks to arrive from Asia to the various distribution points we maintain in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Payment terms for these vendors are approximately 60-90 days from the date the product ships from Asia, therefore we are generally paying for the product a short time after it is physically received in the United States. In turn, sales to customers generally have payment terms of 30 to 60 days, resulting in an accounts receivable and increasing the amount of cash required to fund working capital. To bridge the gap between paying our suppliers and receiving payment from our customers for goods sold, we rely on our credit facilities.

        The majority of our capital expenditures are for tools and molds related to new product introductions. We receive indications from retailers generally around the middle of each year as to what products the retailer will be taking into its product line for the upcoming year. Based on these indications, we will then acquire the tools and molds required to build and produce the products. In most cases, the payments for the tools are spread out over a three to four month period.

        For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $19,061. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $4,643. The change in net cash relating to operating activities in 2013 as compared to 2012 is largely attributable to improved working capital management in collections, vendor management, and inventory as well as the implementation of a direct import program over the past year.

        For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, net cash used in investing activities was approximately $4,322. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was $5,596. The decline in net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to improved capital investment management in 2013.

        For the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $15,787, reflecting a pay down of our credit facilities. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $2,925, primarily borrowings to fund operations.

        Based primarily on the above factors, net cash declined for the twelve month ending December 31, 2013 by $1,559, resulting in a cash balance of approximately $1,573 at December 31, 2013.

        The following table summarizes our significant contractual commitments at December 31, 2013:

Credit Facilities

        On February 28, 2013, the Company and its subsidiary, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., entered into a new loan and security agreement (as amended, the "BofA Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, the financial institutions party to the agreement from time to time as lenders, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as sole lead arranger and sole book runner. The BofA Agreement replaced our prior credit facility with Bank of America. We also entered into a term loan with Salus Capital Partners, which is described below under "Term Loan."

BofA Agreement

        The BofA Agreement provides for an $80,000, asset-based revolving credit facility, with a $10,000 letter of credit sub-line facility. The total borrowing capacity is based on a borrowing base, which is defined as 85% of eligible receivables plus the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of eligible inventory or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory and less reserves. Total borrowing capacity under the BofA Agreement at December 31, 2013 was $47,620 and borrowing availability was $12,842.

        The scheduled maturity date of loans under the BofA Agreement is February 28, 2018 (subject to customary early termination provisions). All obligations under the BofA Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, subject to a first priority lien on certain assets held by the term-loan lender described below. In addition, Summer Infant Canada Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited, subsidiaries of the Company, are guarantors under the BofA Agreement. Proceeds from the loans were used to satisfy existing debt, pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of the BofA Agreement, pay obligations under the BofA Agreement, and will be used to make payments on the Term Loan and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital.

        Loans under the BofA Agreement bear interest, at our option, at a base rate or at LIBOR, plus applicable margins based on average quarterly availability under the BofA Agreement and ranging between 1.75% and 2.25% on LIBOR borrowings and 0.25% and 0.75% on base rate borrowings. Interest payments are due monthly, payable in arrears. We are also required to pay an annual non-use fee of 0.375% of the unused amounts under the BofA Agreement, as well as other customary fees as are set forth in the BofA Agreement. As of December 31, 2013 the base rate on loans was 3.75% and the LIBOR rate was 2.25%.

        Under the BofA Agreement, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants. Prior to an amendment in November 2013 to the BofA Agreement described below, we were required (i) for the first year of the loan, to maintain and earn a specified minimum, monthly consolidated EBITDA amount, with such specified amounts increasing over the first year of the loan to a minimum consolidated EBITDA of $12,000 at February 28, 2014, and (ii) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014, to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for each period of four fiscal quarters most recently ended. For purposes of the financial covenants, consolidated EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus certain customary expenses, fees and non-cash charges and minus certain customary non-cash items increasing net income.

        On November 8, 2013, we entered into an amendment (the "BofA Amendment") to the BofA Agreement. The BofA Amendment amended the financial covenants in the BofA Agreement to provide that (i) we are no longer required to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenants for any period ending after September 30, 2013 and (ii) we maintain a trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, tested on a monthly basis, from and after September 30, 2013.

        The BofA Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other restrictions, we are restricted in our ability to incur additional debt, make acquisitions or investments,

21


Table of Contents

dispose of assets, or make distributions unless in each case certain conditions are satisfied. The BofA Agreement also contains customary events of default, including a cross default with the term loan, the occurrence of a material adverse event and the occurrence or a change of control. In the event of a default, all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the BofA Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations would become due and payable.

        Total borrowing capacity under the BofA Agreement at December 31, 2013 was $47,620 and borrowing availability was $12,842.

Prior Bank of America Loan Agreement

        The BofA Agreement entered into in February 2013 replaced our prior secured credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated August 2, 2010, as amended through November 7, 2012 (as amended, the "Prior Loan Agreement"). The Prior Loan Agreement provided for an $80,000 working capital revolving credit facility. The amounts outstanding under the Prior Loan Agreement was paid in full on February 28, 2013.

        We had also entered into various interest rate swap agreements in the past which effectively fixed the interest rates on a portion of the outstanding debt, of which, the last agreement matured on June 7, 2012. In addition, the credit facility had an unused line fee based on the unused amount of the credit facility equal to 25 basis points.

        The Prior Loan Agreement also contained customary events of default, including a cross default provision and a change of control provision. In the event of a default, all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the loan Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations become due and payable.

Term Loan

        On February 28, 2013 the Company and its subsidiary, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., as borrowers, entered into a term-loan agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement") with Salus Capital Partners, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and each lender from time to time a party to the Term Loan Agreement providing for a $15,000 term-loan (the "Term Loan").

        Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay certain existing debt, and were also used to finance the acquisition of working capital assets in the ordinary course of business, capital expenditures, and for other general corporate purposes. The Term Loan is secured by certain assets of the Company, including a first priority lien on intellectual property, plant, property and equipment, and a pledge of 65% of the ownership interests in certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Term Loan matures on February 28, 2018. In addition, Summer Infant Canada Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited, subsidiaries of the Company, are guarantors under the Term Loan Agreement.

        The principal of the Term Loan is being repaid, on a quarterly basis, in installments of $375, commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2013, until paid in full on termination. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR, plus 10%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. Interest payments are due monthly, in arrears. As of December 31, 2013 the interest rate on the Term Loan was 11.25%.

        The Term Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants substantially the same as the BofA Agreement described above. In addition, prior to the amendment in November 2013 described below, we were required to (i) meet the same minimum, monthly consolidated EBITDA as set forth in the BofA Agreement and (ii) initially maintain a monthly senior leverage ratio of 1:1. For

22


Table of Contents

periods after February 28, 2014, the senior leverage ratio will be based on an annual business plan to be approved by the Company's Board of Directors and will be tested monthly on a trailing twelve month basis. For purposes of the financial covenants in the Term Loan Agreement, the senior leverage ratio is the ratio of (1) all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement and the BofA Agreement to (2) consolidated EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal month. The Term Loan Agreement also contains events of default, including a cross default with the BofA agreement, the occurrence of a material adverse event, the occurrence of a change of control, and the recall of products having a value of $2,000 or more. In the event of a default, all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Term Loan Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations would become due and payable.

        On November 8, 2013, we entered into an amendment (the "Term Loan Amendment") to the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan Amendment amended the financial covenants in the Term Loan Agreement to provide that (i) we are no longer required to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenants for any period ending after September 30, 2013, (ii) we maintain a trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to1.0, tested on a monthly basis, from and after September 30, 2013, and (iii) commencing February 28, 2014, we maintain a trailing 12-month senior leverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis of (a) no more than 6.0 to 1.0 for the periods ending on or before June 30, 2014, (b) no more than 5.5 to 1.0 for periods ending July 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014, and (c) no more than 5.0 to 1.0 for periods following September 30, 2014.

        The amount outstanding on the Term Loan at December 31, 2013 was $14,250.

        We were in compliance with the financial covenants under the BofA Agreement and the Term Loan at December 31, 2013.

        We believe that our cash on hand and banking facilities are sufficient to fund our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, if we are unable to meet our current financial forecast and cannot raise additional funds or adjust our operations accordingly, we may not remain in compliance with our fixed charge coverage ratio or senior debt leverage ratio. Unforeseen circumstances, such as softness in the retail industry or deterioration in the business of a significant customer could create a situation where we cannot access all of the available lines of credit due to not having sufficient assets or fixed charge coverage ratio as required under our loan agreements. There is no assurance that we will meet all of our financial or other covenants in the future, or that our lenders will grant waivers if there are covenant violations. In addition, should we need to raise additional funds through additional debt or equity financings, any sale of additional debt or equity securities may cause dilution to existing stockholders. If sufficient funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, our ability to address any unexpected changes in our operations could be limited. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds if and when they are required. Failure to obtain future funding when needed or on acceptable terms could materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during either of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In July 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a decrease in a deferred tax asset where a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax

23


Table of Contents

credit carryforward exists and certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is in compliance with this guidance in its consolidated financial statements.

        Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures

(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

        As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013.

(b)
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company's board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. It includes those policies and procedures that:

25


Table of Contents

        Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        The Company's management has used the criteria established in the 1992 "Internal Control—Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO Framework") to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Management has selected the COSO Framework for its evaluation as it is a control framework recognized by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, that is free from bias, permits reasonably consistent qualitative and quantitative measurement of the Company's internal controls, is sufficiently complete so that relevant controls are not omitted, and is relevant to an evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting.

        Management of the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of December 31, 2013, of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and based on its evaluation under the COSO Framework, management has concluded that the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013.

(c)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

        There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Summer Infant, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summer Infant, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and stockholders' equity for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Summer Infant, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

        The Company is a global designer, marketer, and distributor of branded juvenile health, safety and wellness products which are sold principally to large North American and European retailers. The Company currently markets its products in several product categories such as monitoring, safety, nursery, baby gear, feeding products, and furniture. Most products are sold under our core brand names of Summer® and Born Free®. The Company has also marketed certain products under licenses with Carter's®, Disney®, and Garanimals®. Anchor products in these categories include nursery audio/video monitors, safety gates, bath tubs and bathers, durable bath products, bed rails, nursery products, swaddling blankets, baby bottles, warming/sterilization systems, booster and potty seats, bouncers, travel accessories, high chairs, swings, feeding products, car seats, strollers, and nursery furniture. Over the years, the Company has completed several acquisitions and added products such as cribs, swaddling, and feeding to its product categories.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

        It is the Company's policy to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

        All dollar amounts included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are in thousands of U.S. dollars except share and per share amounts. Certain items in prior year financials were reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

        The Company records revenue when all of the following occur: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are recorded net of provisions for returns and allowances, customer discounts, and other sales related discounts. The Company bases its estimates for discounts, returns and allowances on negotiated customer terms and historical experience. Customers do not have the right to return products unless the products are defective. The Company records a reduction of sales for estimated future defective product deductions based on historical experience.

        Sales incentives or other consideration given by the Company to customers that are considered adjustments of the selling price of its products, such as markdowns, are reflected as reductions of revenue. Sales incentives and other consideration that represent costs incurred by the Company for assets or services received, such as the appearance of the Company's products in a customer's national circular ad, are reflected as selling and marketing expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include money market accounts and investments with an original maturity of three months or less. At times, the Company possesses cash balances in excess of federally- insured limits.

Trade Receivables

        Trade receivables are carried at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers' ability to pay and current economic trends. The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible.

Inventory Valuation

        Inventory is comprised of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market (net realizable value). The Company regularly reviews slow-moving and excess inventories, and writes down inventories to net realizable value if the ultimate expected net proceeds from the disposals of excess inventory are less than the carrying cost of the merchandise.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company owns the tools and molds used in the production of its products by third party manufacturers. Capitalized mold costs include costs incurred for the pre-production design and development of the molds.

        Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using either straight-line or accelerated methods.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets with Finite Lives

        The Company reviews long-lived assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered to be impaired when its carrying amount exceeds both the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition and the assets' fair value. Long-lived assets include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is charged by the Company to current operations. For each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no such impairment existed.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

        The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with accounting guidance that requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives be tested annually for impairment and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company's annual impairment testing is conducted in the fourth quarter of every year.

        The Company tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the asset's fair value to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, the excess of the

F-9

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

carrying amount over fair value is recognized as an impairment charge and the adjusted carrying amount becomes the assets' new accounting basis.

        Management also evaluates the remaining useful life of an intangible asset that is not being amortized each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life. If an intangible asset that is not being amortized is subsequently determined to have a finite useful life, it is amortized prospectively over its estimated remaining useful life.

        The Company tests goodwill for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of its single reporting unit with its carrying amount including goodwill. If the fair value of the single reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is considered not impaired, thus rendering unnecessary the second step in impairment testing. If the fair value of the single reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed in which the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is compared to the carrying value of the goodwill. The implied fair value of the goodwill is determined based on the difference between the fair value of the single reporting unit and the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the single reporting unit. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recognized as an impairment charge. The Company had no goodwill in fiscal 2013 and determined that no impairment existed on its indefinite-lived intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2013. See Note 3 for discussion of the 2012 impairment charge.

Fair Value Measurements

        Previously, the Company adopted ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures which established a new framework for measuring fair value and expanded related disclosures. Broadly, the framework required fair value to be determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The standard established a three-level valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs.

        Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

        Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

        Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

        Level 3—Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

        The Company maintains policies and procedures to value instruments using the best and most relevant data available. In addition, the Company utilizes risk management resources that review valuation, including independent price validation.

        The Company has used derivatives to fix interest rates. As a matter of policy, the Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. There were no interest rate swap agreements outstanding at December 31, 2013 and at December 31, 2012.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short and long-term borrowings. Because of their short maturity, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings approximate fair value. The carrying value of long-term borrowings approximates fair value, which is based on quoted market prices or on rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities.

Income taxes

        Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method of accounting. Under the asset and liability method, a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carryforwards. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if necessary, to recognize future tax benefits only to the extent, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized.

        Previously, the Company adopted the provisions of a new standard which provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon adoption and in subsequent periods. Upon the adoption, and at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

        The Company's federal tax return for the year ended December 31, 2009 was audited in 2012 by the Internal Revenue Service and all taxes and interest have been paid. Any tax penalties or interest is recorded as a general and administrative cost in operations. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

        The assets and liabilities of the Company's European, Canadian, Israeli, and Asian operations have been translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates and the income and expense accounts of these affiliates have been translated at average rates prevailing during each respective year. Resulting translation adjustments are made to a separate component of stockholders' equity within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses are included in the statements of operations.

Shipping Costs

        Shipping costs to customers are included in selling expenses and amounted to approximately $1,521 and $2,251 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Advertising Costs

        The Company charges advertising costs to selling, general and administration expense as incurred. Advertising expense, which consists primarily of promotional and cooperative advertising allowances provided to customers, was approximately $16,791 and $22,558 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Income Per Share

        Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period.

        Diluted earnings per share for the Company is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of: the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period; the dilutive impact (using the "treasury stock" method) of "in the money" stock options; and unvested restricted shares issued to employees. Options to purchase 446,000 and 654,421 shares of the Company's common stock and 268,361 and 183,742 of restricted shares were not included in the calculation, due to the fact that these instruments were anti-dilutive for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        In July 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance related to the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be presented as a decrease in a deferred tax asset where a net operating loss, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists and certain criteria are met. This guidance is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company is in compliance with the adoption of this guidance in its consolidated financial statements.

        Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Total depreciation expense was $5,145 and $6,456 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

3. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

        Because the Company has fully integrated its acquisitions, it has determined that it has only one reporting unit for purposes of testing for goodwill impairment.

        Due to the sustained decrease in the Company's results of operations (below forecasts) and stock price during the third quarter of 2012, management undertook an interim goodwill and intangible asset impairment analysis and engaged a third party to assist management in testing goodwill and other intangible assets recorded on the balance sheet.

        The Step I test for goodwill resulted in the determination that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value thus requiring the Company to measure the amount of any goodwill impairment by performing the second step of the impairment test. Fair value of the reporting unit in Step I was determined based on a combination of a discounted cash flow valuation method as well as the Guideline Public Company Method—Control, Marketable Basis and the Public Traded Shares—Control, Marketable Basis Method. The second step (defined as "Step II") of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compared the implied fair value of the single reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The loss recognized cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company estimated the fair value of its tangible and intangible assets as part of the process. Intangible assets included trade names, customer relationships and patents. For intangible assets, the Company selected an income approach to value trade names, customer relationships and patents. The customer relationships were valued using a discounted cash flow methodology while the trade names and patents were valued using a relief from royalty method.

        As a result of its analysis and the valuation study discussed above, management determined the implied fair value of goodwill was zero and the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $61,908 in 2012. There was no such charge in 2013.

5. DEBT

Credit Facilities

        On February 28, 2013, the Company and its subsidiary, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., entered into a new loan and security agreement (as amended, the "BofA Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as agent, the financial institutions party to the agreement from time to time as lenders, and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as sole lead arranger and sole book runner. The BofA Agreement replaced the Company's prior credit facility with Bank of America. The Company also entered into a term loan with Salus Capital Partners, which is described below under "Term Loan."

BofA Agreement

        The BofA Agreement provides for an $80,000, asset-based revolving credit facility, with a $10,000 letter of credit sub-line facility. The total borrowing capacity is based on a borrowing base, which is defined as 85% of eligible receivables plus the lesser of (i) 70% of the value of eligible inventory or (ii) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory and less reserves.

        The scheduled maturity date of loans under the BofA Agreement is February 28, 2018 (subject to customary early termination provisions). All obligations under the BofA Agreement are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, subject to a first priority lien on certain assets held by the term-loan lender described below. In addition, Summer Infant Canada Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited, subsidiaries of the Company, are guarantors under the BofA Agreement. Proceeds from the loans were used to satisfy existing debt, pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of the BofA Agreement, pay obligations under the BofA Agreement, and were used to make payments on the Term Loan and for other general corporate purposes, including working capital.

        Loans under the BofA Agreement bear interest, at the Company's option, at a base rate or at LIBOR, plus applicable margins based on average quarterly availability under the BofA Agreement and ranging between 1.75% and 2.25% on LIBOR borrowings and 0.25% and 0.75% on base rate borrowings. Interest payments are due monthly, payable in arrears. The Company is also required to pay an annual non-use fee of 0.375% of the unused amounts under the BofA Agreement, as well as other customary fees as are set forth in the BofA Agreement. As of December 31, 2013 the base rate on loans was 3.75% and the LIBOR rate was 2.25%.

        Under the BofA Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants. Prior to an amendment in November 2013 described below, the Company was required, (i) for the first

year of the loan, to maintain and earn a specified minimum, monthly consolidated EBITDA amount, with such specified amounts increasing over the first year of the loan to a minimum consolidated EBITDA of $12,000 at February 28, 2014, and (ii) beginning with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014, maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0 for each period of four fiscal quarters most recently ended. For purposes of the financial covenants, consolidated EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, plus certain customary expenses, fees and non-cash charges and minus certain customary non-cash items increasing net income.

        On November 8, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment (the "BofA Amendment") to the BofA Agreement described above. The BofA Amendment amended the financial covenants in the BofA Agreement to provide that (i) the Company is no longer required to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenants for any period ending after September 30, 2013 and (ii) the Company maintain a trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to 1.0, tested on a monthly basis, from and after September 30, 2013.

        The BofA Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants. Among other restrictions, the Company is restricted in its ability to incur additional debt, make acquisitions or investments, dispose of assets, or make distributions unless in each case certain conditions are satisfied. The BofA Agreement also contains customary events of default, including a cross default with the term loan, the occurrence of a material adverse event and the occurrence or a change of control. In the event of a default, all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the BofA Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations would become due and payable.

        Total borrowing capacity under the BofA Agreement at December 31, 2013 was $47,620 and borrowing availability was $12,842.

Prior Bank of America Loan Agreement

        The BofA Agreement entered into in February 2013 replaced the Company's prior secured credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, dated August 2, 2010, as amended through November 7, 2012 (as amended, the "Prior Loan Agreement"). The Prior Loan Agreement provided for an $80,000 working capital revolving credit facility. The amounts outstanding under the Prior Loan Agreement were paid in full on February 28, 2013.

        The Company had also entered into various interest rate swap agreements in the past which effectively fixed the interest rates on a portion of the outstanding debt, of which, the last agreement matured on June 7, 2012. In addition, the credit facility had an unused line fee based on the unused amount of the credit facility equal to 25 basis points.

        The Prior Loan Agreement also contained customary events of default, including a cross default provision and a change of control provision. In the event of a default, all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the loan Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations become due and payable.

Term Loan

        On February 28, 2013 the Company and its subsidiary, Summer Infant (USA), Inc., as borrowers, entered into a term-loan agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement") with Salus Capital Partners, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and each lender from time to time a party to the Term Loan Agreement providing for a $15,000 term-loan (the "Term Loan").

        Proceeds from the Term Loan were used to repay certain existing debt, and were also used to finance the acquisition of working capital assets in the ordinary course of business, capital expenditures, and for other general corporate purposes. The Term Loan is secured by certain assets of the Company, including a first priority lien on intellectual property, plant, property and equipment, and a pledge of 65% of the ownership interests in certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Term Loan matures on February 28, 2018. In addition, Summer Infant Canada Limited and Summer Infant Europe Limited, subsidiaries of the Company, are guarantors under the Term Loan Agreement.

        The principal of the Term Loan is being repaid, on a quarterly basis, in installments of $375, commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2013, until paid in full on termination. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR, plus 10%, with a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. Interest payments are due monthly, in arrears. As of December 31, 2013 the interest rate on the Term Loan was 11.25%.

        The Term Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants substantially the same as the BofA Agreement described above. In addition, prior to the amendment in November 2013 described below, the Company was required to comply with certain financial covenants, including that the Company (i) meet the same minimum, monthly consolidated EBITDA as set forth in the BofA Agreement and (ii) initially maintain a monthly senior leverage ratio of 1:1. For periods after February 28, 2014, the senior leverage ratio will be based on an annual business plan to be approved by the Company's Board of Directors and will be tested monthly on a trailing twelve month basis. For purposes of the financial covenants in the Term Loan Agreement, the senior leverage ratio is the ratio of (1) all amounts outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement and the BofA Agreement to (2) consolidated EBITDA for the twelve-month period ending as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal month. The Term Loan Agreement also contains events of default, including a cross default with the BofA agreement, the occurrence of a material adverse event, the occurrence of a change of control, and the recall of products having a value of $2,000 or more. In the event of a default, all of the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the Term Loan Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable. For certain events of default relating to insolvency and receivership, all outstanding obligations would become due and payable.

        On November 8, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Term Loan Amendment") to the Term Loan Agreement described above. The Term Loan Amendment amended the financial covenants in the Term Loan Agreement to provide that (i) the Company is no longer required to comply with the minimum EBITDA covenants for any period ending after September 30, 2013, (ii) the Company maintain a trailing 12-month fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.0 to1.0, tested on a monthly basis, from and after September 30, 2013, and (iii) commencing February 28, 2014, the Company maintain a trailing 12-month senior leverage ratio, tested on a monthly basis of (a) no more than 6.0 to 1.0 for the periods ending on or before June 30, 2014, (b) no more than 5.5 to 1.0 for periods ending July 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014, and (c) no more than 5.0 to 1.0 for periods following September 30, 2014.

Sale-Leaseback

        On March 24, 2009 the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Faith Realty II, LLC, a Rhode Island limited liability company ("Faith Realty") (the members of which are Jason Macari, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company and current director, and his spouse), pursuant to which Faith Realty purchased the corporate headquarters of the Company located at 1275 Park East Drive, Woonsocket, Rhode Island (the "Headquarters"), for $4,052 and subsequently leased the Headquarters back to Summer USA for an annual rent of $390 during the initial seven year term of the lease, payable monthly and in advance. The lease will expire on the seventh anniversary of its commencement unless an option period is exercised by Summer USA. At that time, Summer USA will have the opportunity to extend the lease for one additional period of five years. If Summer USA elects to extend the term of the lease for an additional five years, the annual rent for the first two years of the extension term shall be equal to $429 and for the final three years of the extension term shall be equal to $468. In addition, during the first six months of the last lease year of the initial term of the lease, Summer USA has the option to repurchase the Headquarters for $4,457 (110% of the initial sale price). With the majority of the proceeds of the sale of the Headquarters Summer USA paid off the construction loan relating to the Headquarters. Mr. Macari has given a personal guarantee to secure the Faith Realty debt on its mortgage; therefore, due to his continuing involvement in the building transaction and the Company's option to repurchase the building, the transaction has been recorded as a financing lease, with no gain recognition. At December 31, 2013, approximately $225 was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses, with the balance of approximately $3,290 included in other liabilities, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. This obligation is reduced each month (along with a charge to interest expense) as the rent payment is made to Faith Realty.

        On February 25, 2009, the Company's board of Directors (with Mr. Macari abstaining from such action) approved the sale leaseback transaction. In connection therewith, the board granted a potential waiver, to the extent necessary, if at all, of the conflict of interest provisions of the Company's Model Code of Ethics, effective upon execution of definitive agreements within the parameters approved by the Board. In connection with granting such potential waiver, the Board of Directors engaged

independent counsel to review the sale leaseback transaction and an independent appraiser to ascertain (i) the value of the Headquarters and (ii) the market rent for the Headquarters. In reaching its conclusion that the sale leaseback transaction is fair to the Company, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including Summer USA's ability to repurchase the headquarters at 110% of the initial sale price at the end of the initial term.

        In addition, the Company's Audit Committee approved the sale leaseback transaction (as a related party transaction) and the potential waiver and recommended the matter to a vote of the entire Board of Directors (which approved the transaction).

        The Company had undistributed earnings from certain foreign subsidiaries (Summer Infant Asia, Summer Infant Australia, and Born Free Holdings, Ltd) of approximately $12,816 at December 31, 2013 which is all considered to be permanently reinvested due to the Company's plans to reinvest such earnings for future expansion in certain foreign jurisdictions. Earnings and Profits from Summer Infant Europe and Summer Infant Canada are not considered to be permanently reinvested due to the bank refinancing as discussed in Note 5—Debt. The cumulative effect in 2013 was $373 and will affect future years based on earnings. The amount of taxes attributable to the permanently reinvested undistributed earnings is not practicably determinable.

        As of December 31, 2013, the Company has approximately $259 of federal and state net operating loss carry forwards (or "NOLs") to offset future federal taxable income. The federal NOL will begin to expire in 2028 and the state NOL will begin to expire in 2016. The Company also has approximately $1,410, $12, $244 and $71 of NOLs in Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and France which can be carried forward indefinitely.

        Authoritative guidance requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported, if based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. After consideration of all evidence, including the Company's past earnings history and future earnings forecast, management has determined that a valuation allowance in the amount of $1,310 relating to certain state tax credits is necessary at December 31, 2013.

        Upon the adoption, and at December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any uncertain tax positions. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at December 31, 2013 and 2012. On a global basis, the open tax years subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates is between two to six years. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

7. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

        The Company is authorized to issue up to 3,000,000 shares for equity awards under the 2006 Performance Equity Plan ("2006 Plan") and 500,000 shares for equity awards under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan ("2012 Plan").

        Under the 2006 Plan and 2012 Plan, awards may be granted to participants in the form of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock, deferred stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Subject to the provisions of the plans, awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors, advisors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or are able to render significant services to the Company or its subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the Company's success. The Company accounts for options under the fair value recognition standard. The application of this standard resulted in share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $893 and $888, respectively. Stock based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses. There were no share-based payment arrangements capitalized as part of the cost of an asset.

        The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The Company uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term of the options, but used an estimate for grants of "plain vanilla" stock options based on a formula prescribed by the SEC. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Share- based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated financial statements in 2013 and 2012 is based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest.

        The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used for options granted during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 
  2013   2012  

Expected life (in years)

    6.0     6.0  

Risk-free interest rate

    1.71 %   1.71 %

Volatility

    55 %   55 %

Dividend yield

    0 %   0 %

Forfeiture rate

    10 %   10 %

        The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2013 was $1.69 per share which totals $588 for the 348,000 options granted during such period. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted was $2.21 per share which totaled $482 for the 218,428 options granted during the year.

10. MAJOR CUSTOMERS

        Three customers generated more than 10% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2013, Toys R Us (31%), Walmart (19%), and Target (11%). Three customers generated more than 10% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2012, Toys R Us (36%), Walmart (19%), and Target (10%). Because of the concentration of our business with these customers and because we have no long term contracts with these customers, our success depends on our customers' willingness to purchase and provide shelf space for our products.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Royalty Commitments

        Summer Infant (USA), Inc has entered into various license agreements with third parties for the use of product designs, software licenses, and trade names for the products manufactured by the Company.

Royalty expense under these licensing agreements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $1,847 and $3,831, respectively.

Customer Agreements

        The Company enters into annual agreements with its customers in the normal course of business. These agreements define the terms of product sales including in some instances cooperative advertising costs and product return privileges (for defective products only) or defective allowances (which are based upon historical experience). These contracts are generally annual in nature and obligate the Company only as to products actually sold to the customer.
