1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Emergence from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Proceedings

In response to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, on May 27, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), we filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases were jointly administered for procedural purposes. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, we continued to operate our businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. In accordance with orders of the Bankruptcy Court, we entered into certain debtor-in-possession financing arrangements to provide financing during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. See Note 3 “Debt” below for additional information regarding these debtor-in-possession financing arrangements.

In early June 2020, in accordance with orders of the Bankruptcy Court, we commenced the process to close 132 store locations. By the end of July 2020, all of these stores were permanently closed. In mid-July 2020, we began the process to close an additional 65 stores following negotiations with our landlords, and those store closures were completed in August 2020. In total, we permanently closed 197 stores during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. In addition, we closed our Phoenix, Arizona distribution center (“Phoenix distribution center”) in the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

On November 16, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries filed with the Bankruptcy Court a proposed Revised Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Amended Plan”) and a proposed Amended Disclosure Statement (the “Amended Disclosure Statement”) in support of the Amended Plan describing the Amended Plan and the solicitation of votes to approve the same from certain of the Debtors’ creditors with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases. The Amended Plan and the Amended Disclosure Statement contemplated the debt financing transactions described in Note 3 below under the caption “Post-Emergence Debt Financing Arrangements,” the exchange and Rights Offering (defined in Note 12 below) and the sale-leaseback transactions described in Note 8 below.

On December 23, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Amended Plan, with certain modifications described in the Confirmation Order (as modified and confirmed, the “Plan of Reorganization”). On December 31, 2020, all of the conditions precedent to the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied and the Company completed the debt financing and sale-leaseback contemplated in the Plan of Reorganization. However, the closing of the Rights Offering was considered a critical component to the execution of our confirmed Plan of Reorganization, therefore, we continued to apply the requirements of ASC 852 – Reorganizations until that transaction closed on February 9, 2021.

In accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, effective December 31, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Company’s board of directors was comprised of nine members, including five continuing directors of the Company, three new directors appointed by the Backstop Party (as defined in Note 12 below) and one director appointed by the equity committee in the Chapter 11 Cases.

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on January 4, 2021 was exchanged for (1) one new share of the Company’s stock and (2) a share purchase right entitling the holder to purchase its pro rata portion of shares available to eligible holders in the Rights Offering described under the caption “Equity Financing under the Plan of Reorganization” in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. On February 9, 2021, the Company completed the equity financing contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization.

On September 29, 2021, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued a final decree (the “Final Decree”) closing the Chapter 11 Cases of the Company and its subsidiaries. While the Company emerged from bankruptcy proceedings on December 31, 2020, the Chapter 11 Cases remained opened pending final resolution of all claims of general unsecured creditors. The Company was able to resolve all of the claims for approximately $14 million less than the amounts reserved and retained in the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund. Upon entry of the Final Decree, the approximately $14 million remaining in the escrow account was returned to the Company to make a repayment on its ABL credit facility and the Chapter 11 Cases are now final.

See Note 2 regarding Bankruptcy Accounting for further discussion.

Listing

During the pendency of our bankruptcy proceedings, the Company’s common stock was delisted by the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) and began trading on the OTC Pink marketplace under the symbol “TUESQ”. In January 2021, following our emergence from bankruptcy, the Company’s common stock began trading on the OTCQX market under the ticker symbol “TUEM.”

On May 24, 2021, Nasdaq approved our application for the relisting of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's common stock was relisted and commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of the market on May 25, 2021, under the ticker symbol "TUEM."

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse effect on our business operations, store traffic, employee availability, financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity and cash flow. On March 25, 2020, we temporarily closed all of our 687 stores nationwide, severely reducing revenues, resulting in significant operating losses and the elimination of substantially all operating cash flow. As allowed by state and local jurisdictions, 685 of our stores gradually reopened as of the end of June 2020, and two were permanently closed during the quarter. In accordance with our bankruptcy plan of reorganization, described below, we completed the permanent closure of 197 stores in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and the closure of our Phoenix distribution center in second quarter of fiscal 2021. In addition, as part of our restructuring, we secured financing to pay creditors in accordance with the plan of reorganization and to fund planned operations and expenditures.

Future impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic will depend on the potential further geographic spread and duration of the ongoing pandemic, the timing and extent of recovery in traffic and consumer spending in our stores, the extent and duration of ongoing impacts to domestic and international supply chains and the related impacts on the flow, availability and cost of products, the production and administration of effective medical treatments and vaccines, and the actions that may be taken by various governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

2. Bankruptcy Accounting

Reorganizations require that the condensed consolidated financial statements, for periods subsequent to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases until we qualified for emergence under ASC 852, the condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and reflect the application of ASC 852. Accordingly, certain expenses, gains and losses that were realized or incurred in the bankruptcy proceedings were recorded in Reorganization items, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, an escrow account (the “Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund”) was established for the benefit of holders of allowed general unsecured claims. Upon the closing of the sale and leaseback of the Corporate Office and the Dallas Distribution Center properties and the issuance of the Term Loan (as defined in Note 3 below), net proceeds of $67.5 million, after payment of property taxes, and $18.8 million, respectively, were deposited directly into the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund that was administered by an independent unsecured claims disbursing agent. The remaining proceeds from the Term Loan that were not deposited into the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund were deposited into our operating account. In addition, $14.2 million of additional cash was deposited into a segregated bank account at Wells Fargo Bank and was restricted for use in paying compensation for services rendered by professionals on or after the Petition date and prior to the approval date of our Plan of Reorganization by the court (“Effective Date”) (“Wells Fargo Restricted Fund”). The closing of the Rights Offering described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 provided approximately $40.0 million of cash that was deposited to the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund and recorded as restricted cash. During the fiscal 2021, all services rendered by professionals were paid and the Wells Fargo Restricted Fund account was closed with all of the applicable funds disbursed. Net cash remaining of $1.9 million was deposited directly into our unrestricted cash account during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Our Plan of Reorganization was confirmed on December 23, 2020, and all listed material conditions precedent were resolved by the December 31, 2020 legal effective date of emergence as governed by the Bankruptcy Court. However, the closing of our Rights Offering was considered a critical component to the execution of our confirmed Plan of Reorganization, therefore, we continued to apply the requirements of ASC 852 until that transaction closed on February 9, 2021.

On September 29, 2021, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued a Final Decree closing the Chapter 11 Cases of the Company and its subsidiaries. While the Company emerged from bankruptcy proceedings on December 31, 2020, the Chapter 11 Cases remained opened pending final resolution of all claims of general unsecured creditors. The Company was able to resolve all of these claims for approximately $14 million less than the amounts reserved and retained in the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund. Upon entry of the Final Decree, the approximately $14 million remaining in the Unsecured Creditor Claim Fund was returned to the Company to make a repayment on its ABL credit facility and the Chapter 11 Cases are now final.
