I suppose it would make sense trying to keep that place afloat.

Staying on topic; do people really purchase wristwatches (from wherever) and monitor their return on investments?
That is a new one on me and I shutter to know how my watch "investments" purchases equate to a profit and losses over the many years.

Executive Commentary – Tim Peterman, CEO since May 2, 2019

“I am excited to rejoin Evine as its new CEO. Although we have only been working as a team again for less than a month, we have already identified the primary causes for Evine’s dramatic financial declines these last few quarters and begun to implement focused remediation actions.

In terms of our first quarter, 2019 performance, there is no other way to say it – our performance was poor. In fact, our performance over the past three quarters has significantly missed expectations, and we must perform better for our shareholders and employees. Our plan to reverse our recent negative financial trend is clear, exciting and already in motion. In the last 20 days, we have accomplished the following:

We secured the services of Eyal Lalo, as our new Vice Chairman, and we expect he will help us reignite our vendor community with passion while also helping us find and launch new vendors to strengthen our product assortment in all of our merchandising categories. This is also a cornerstone of our remediation effort. In the last three years, Evine has not launched a single brand that has exceeded $10 million in annual revenues. Eyal is already making a difference for us in this area.

In the second quarter, we are planning to change the name of the Evine network back to ShopHQ, which was the name of the network in 2014. ShopHQ is easier to recognize for existing television retailing customers, who spend over $9 billion annually with television retailers in U.S. We believe this more intuitive and recognizable name will allow us to better promote to our network and build our customer file again. Our conclusion from the review of the customer impact data related to the change to Evine in 2015, was that it was not positive.

Eden Prairie's iMedia hopes to raise $20M in stock offering
The struggling parent of ShopHQ home shopping network's offering is underwritten by Craig-Hallum Capital Group.

IMedia Brands, parent company of home shopping network and multichannel retailer ShopHQ, is conducting a secondary stock offering to raise about $20 million.

The Eden Prairie-based company earlier this month also announced an agreement to create a new joint venture with a company controlled by Invicta Media Investments, which is the largest shareholder of iMedia and whose principals sit on the iMedia board. The joint venture operates TheCloseout.com, a site for discontinued and deeply discounted items.

The company plans to offer 2,860,000 shares at $7 per share. The deal is being underwritten by Minneapolis-based Craig-Hallum Capital Group and it has an option to sell an additional 429,000 shares.

The gross proceeds of the offering are expected to be $20 million. The filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission say proceeds of the offering will be used for "working capital and general corporate purposes."

In December, the company completed a 10-for-1 reverse stock split to raise its share price. The stock was trading under $1 per share and the company did the maneuver in order to regain compliance with the Nasdaq stock exchange's continued listing standards.

The company reported its third quarter results for the period ended Oct. 31 on Nov. 24 when it reported quarterly sales of $109 million, down 5% from the same quarter the previous year. It was the company's ninth consecutive period of quarter-over-quarter revenue declines; it has had only one profitable quarter in that time.

On the third quarter earnings call Chief Executive Timothy Peterman pointed to more encouraging metrics, including that the 5% quarterly sales decline was the smallest in nearly two years and that its gross margins had improved.

Shares of iMedia closed at $7.70 per share Thursday, down 13%. Shares closed Wednesday at $8.85 per share, before the company released the $7 price per share of the secondary stock offering.
