1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

References to “ASC” included hereinafter refer to the Accounting Standards Codification established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) as the source of authoritative GAAP.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated (“Bassett”, “we”, “our”, or the “Company”) and our wholly-owned subsidiaries of which we have a controlling interest. In accordance with ASC Topic 810, we have evaluated our licensees and certain other entities to determine whether they are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which we are the primary beneficiary and thus would require consolidation in our financial statements. To date we have concluded that none of our licensees represent VIEs. WeDuring the second and third fiscal quarters of 2022, we were the primary beneficiary of one VIE by virtue of our control over the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. This VIE was created to effect a Section 1031 like-kind exchange involving the purchase of real property in Tampa, Florida, for $7,668 during the statesecond quarter of Florida2022 and the sale of real property in Houston, Texas for $8,217 during the statethird quarter of Texas (see Note 13, Retail Real Estate Transactions).2022 for the purpose of deferring approximately $4,300 of the taxable gain resulting from the sale of the Houston property. Subsequent to the completion of the exchange transactions during the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the sole equity interest in the VIE was transferred to Bassett and the entity is now consolidated as a wholly owned subsidiary.

Revenue from the sale of furniture and accessories is reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income net of estimates for returns and allowances.

On January 31, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Zenith Freight Lines, LLC (“Zenith”) to J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (“J.B. Hunt”). The sale was completed on February 28, 2022. Accordingly, the operations of our logistical services segment as well asfor the gain realized upon disposalthree and six months ended May 28, 2022 are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as discontinued operations, and the assets sold to and liabilities assumed by J.B.

Income Taxes

We calculate an anticipated effective tax rate for the year based on our annual estimates of pretax income and use that effective tax rate to record our year-to-date income tax provision. Any change in annual projections of pretax income could have a significant impact on our effective tax rate for the respective quarter.

Our effective tax rate was 22.8%18.4% and 25.6%27.1% for the three and ninesix months ended AugustMay 27, 2022,2023, respectively, and 27.2%26.0% for both the three and 27.3%six months ended May 28, 2022. The effective rates for the three and ninesix months ended AugustMay 27, 2023 differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the non-taxable gain on revaluation of contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Noa Home (see Note 3), increases in the valuation allowance placed on deferred tax assets associated with Noa Home and the effects of state income taxes and various permanent differences. For the three and six months ended May 28, 2021, respectively. These2022, the effective rates differ from the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effects of state income taxes and various permanent differences, including thosetax of $522 associated with Company-owned life insurance, and tax of $552 for the nine months ended August 27, 2022 associated with non-deductible goodwill written off in connection with ourthe sale of Zenith and included in income tax on discontinued operations,operations.

Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, during the nine months ended August 28, 2021 was $624. These cash payments for income taxes are included in cash flows from operating activities in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.corresponding lease obligations.

3. Business Combinations

On September 2, 2022, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Noa Home, a mid-priced e-commerce furniture retailer headquartered in Montreal, Canada. Noa Home has operations in Canada, Australia, Singapore and the United Kingdom. The initial purchase price (denominated in Canadian dollars) of approximately C$7,700 included cash payments of C$2,000 paid to the co-founders of Noa Home and approximately C$5,700 for the repayment of existing debt owed by Noa Home. Per the terms of the agreement at the acquisition date, the Noa Home co-founders also had the opportunity to receive additional cash payments totaling approximately C$1,330 per year for the three fiscal years following the year of acquisition based on established increases in net revenues and achieving certain internal EBITDA goals.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the fair value of the consideration transferred was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date with the remaining unallocated amount recorded as goodwill.

The allocation of the fair value of the acquired business has been based on a preliminary valuation. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary allocation of the fair value of consideration transferred that are not yet finalized relate to the fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets acquired and the residual goodwill. As of May 27, 2023, there have been no changes to the preliminary allocation of the purchase price (translated into U.S. dollars as of the acquisition date) which is as follows:

Goodwill was determined based on the residual difference between the fair value of the consideration transferred and the value assigned to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities recognized in connection with the acquisition and is deductible for tax purposes. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill are the expected synergies arising from combining the Company’s manufacturing and distribution capabilities with Noa Home’s position in the international e-commerce market for home furnishings and accessories.

A portion of the fair value of the consideration transferred in the amount of $1,929 has been assigned to the identifiable intangible asset associated with the Noa Home trade name. This intangible asset is considered to have an indefinite life. The indefinite-lived intangible asset and goodwill are not amortized but will be tested for impairment annually or between annual tests if an indicator of impairment exists and the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of the goodwill is below its book value.

The fair values of consideration transferred and net assets acquired were determined using a combination of Level 2 and Level 3 inputs as specified in the fair value hierarchy in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.

Subsequent to the acquisition date, the parties concluded that the targets originally set forth by which the Noa Home co-founders were to earn the contingent consideration would likely not be met within the initially anticipated time frame. Therefore, we have agreed to replace the contingent consideration with two fixed payments of C$200 each, payable in June of 2023 and December of 2024. As a result of the write-down of the contingent consideration payable that was recognized at the acquisition date, we recorded a gain of $1,013 for the three and six months ended May 27, 2023.

The revenues and results of operations of Noa Home for the three and six months ended May 27, 2023 were not material. The pro forma impact of the acquisition has not been presented because it was not material to our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended May 28, 2022.

4. Financial Instruments and Investments

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments in certificates of deposit (CDs), accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Because of their short maturities, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments in CDs, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value.

Investments

Our short-term investments of $17,725 and $17,715 at AugustMay 27, 20222023 and November 27, 202126, 2022 consisted of CDs. At AugustMay 27, 2022,2023, the CDs had original terms averaging eightseven months, bearing interest at rates ranging from 0.25%0.7% to 3.00%5.05%. At AugustMay 27, 2022,2023, the weighted average remaining time to maturity of the CDs was approximately sixthree months and the weighted average yield of the CDs was approximately 2.17%4.41%. Each CD is placed with a federally insured financial institution and all deposits are within federal deposit insurance limits. Due to the nature of these investments and their relatively short maturities, the carrying amount of the short-term investments at AugustMay 27, 20222023 and November 27, 202126, 2022 approximates their fair value.

4.5. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of the following:

We maintain an allowance for credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance for credit losses is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis which is applied to accounts pooled on the basis of similar risk characteristics. Judgments are made with respect to the collectibilitycollectability of accounts receivable within each pool based on historical experience, current payment practices and current economic trends based on our expectations over the expected life of the receivables, which is generally ninety days or less. Actual credit losses could differ from those estimates.

(Dollars in thousands except share and per share data)

Activity in the allowance for credit losses for the ninesix months ended AugustMay 27, 20222023 was as follows:

We believe that the carrying value of our net accounts receivable approximates fair value. The inputs into these fair value estimates reflect our market assumptions and are not observable. Consequently, the inputs are considered to be Level 3 as specified in the fair value hierarchy in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. See Note 3.4.

5.6. Inventories

Domestic furniture inventories are valued at the lower of cost, which is determined using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method, or market. Imported inventories and those applicable to our Lane Venture and Bassett Outdoor lines are valued at the lower of cost, which is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or net realizable value.

Inventories were comprised of the following:

We estimate an inventory reserve for excess quantities and obsolete items based on specific identification and historical write-offs, taking into account future demand, market conditions and the respective valuations at LIFO. The need for these reserves is primarily driven by the normal product life cycle. As products mature and sales volumes decline, we rationalize our product offerings to respond to consumer tastes and keep our product lines fresh. If actual demand or market conditions in the future are less favorable than those estimated, additional inventory write-downs may be required. In determining reserves, we calculate separate reserves on our wholesale and retail inventories. Our wholesale inventories tend to carry the majority of the reserves for excess quantities and obsolete inventory due to the nature of our distribution model. These wholesale reserves primarily represent design and/or style obsolescence. Typically, product is not shipped to our retail warehouses until a consumer has ordered and paid a deposit for the product. We do not typically hold retail inventory for stock purposes. Consequently, floor sample inventory and inventory for delivery to customers account for the majority of our inventory at retail. Retail reserves are based on accessory and clearance floor sample inventory in our stores and any inventory that is not associated with a specific customer order in our retail warehouses.

Activity in the reserves for excess quantities and obsolete inventory by segment are as follows:

Our estimates and assumptions have been reasonably accurate in the past. We have not made any significant changes to our methodology for determining inventory reserves in 20222023 and do not anticipate that our methodology is likely to change in the future.

6.7. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets consisted of the following:

TheChanges in the carrying amounts of goodwill by reportable segment at both August 27, 2022 and November 27, 2021 arewere as follows:

GoodwillAccumulated impairment losses at both May 27, 2023 and other intangible assets associated with our logistical services segment totaling $9,094 at November 27, 2021 are included in assets of discontinued operations held for sale26, 2022 were $3,897.

Due to the decline in the accompanying balance sheet (see Note 12).share price of our common stock through the end of the second quarter of 2023, we performed a qualitative analysis of our goodwill as of May 27, 2023 and concluded that it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of our reporting units with goodwill exceeded their fair values.

Amortization expense associated with intangible assets during the three and ninesix months ended AugustMay 27, 20222023 and AugustMay 28, 20212022 was as follows:

Estimated future amortization expense for intangible assets that exist at AugustMay 27, 20222023 is as follows:

7.8. Bank Credit Facility

Our bank credit facility provides for a line of credit of up to $25,000.$25,000. At AugustMay 27, 2022,2023, we had $3,931$3,731 outstanding under standby letters of credit against our line, leaving availability under our credit line of $21,069. In addition, we had outstanding standby letters of credit with another bank totaling $325 at August 27, 2022.$21,269. The line bears interest at the One-Month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“One-Month Term SOFR”) plus 1.5% and is unsecured. Our bank charges a fee of 0.25% on the daily unused balance of the line, payable quarterly. Under the terms of the bank credit facility, we must maintain the following financial covenants, measured quarterly on a rolling twelve-month basis:

We were in compliance with these covenants at AugustMay 27, 20222023 and expect to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future. The credit facility will mature on January 27, 2025, at which time any amounts outstanding under the facility will be due.

8.9. Post Employment Benefit Obligations

Defined Benefit Plans

We have an unfunded Supplemental Retirement Income Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”) that covers one current and certain former executives. The liability for the Supplemental Plan was $9,062$6,028 and $9,192$5,987 as of AugustMay 27, 20222023 and November 27, 2021,26, 2022, respectively.

We also have the Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated Management Savings Plan (the “Management Savings Plan”) which was established in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The Management Savings Plan is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of certain highly compensated or management level employees. As part of the Management Savings Plan, we have made Long Term Cash Awards (“LTC Awards”) totaling $2,000 to certain management employees in the amount of $400 each. The liability for the LTC Awards was $1,560$1,325 and $1,548$1,275 as of AugustMay 27, 20222023 and November 27, 2021,26, 2022, respectively.

The combined pension liability for the Supplemental Plan and LTC Awards is recorded as follows in the condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Components of net periodic pension costs for our defined benefit plans for the three and ninesix months ended AugustMay 27, 20222023 and AugustMay 28, 20212022 are as follows:

The components of net periodic pension cost other than the service cost component, which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses, are included in other loss, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred Compensation Plans

We have an unfunded deferred compensation plan that covers one current executive and certain former executives and provides for voluntary deferral of compensation. This plan has been frozen with no additional participants or deferrals permitted. Our liability under this plan was $1,657$1,636 and $1,648$1,616 as of AugustMay 27, 20222023 and November 27, 2021,26, 2022, respectively.

We also have an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan maintained for the benefit of certain highly compensated or management level employees which was established under the Management Savings Plan. Our liability under this plan, including both accrued Company contributions and participant salary deferrals, was $1,946$2,457 and $1,789$2,070 as of AugustMay 27, 20222023 and November 27, 2021,26, 2022, respectively.

9.10. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various legal and environmental matters which arise in the normal course of business. Although the final outcome of these matters cannot be determined, based on the facts presently known, we believe that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or future results of operations.

10. Lease Guarantees

We have guaranteed certain lease obligations of licensee operators. Lease guarantees range from one to three years. We were contingently liable under a licensee lease obligation guaranteesguarantee in the amounts of $1,871$1,897 and $1,845$1,880 at AugustMay 27, 20222023 and November 27, 2021,26, 2022, respectively. The remaining term under this lease guarantee extends for five years.

In the event of default by an independent dealer under the guaranteed lease, we believe that the risk of loss is mitigated through a combination of options that include, but are not limited to, arranging for a replacement dealer or liquidating the collateral (primarily inventory). The proceeds of the above options are expected to cover the estimated amount of our future payments under the guarantee obligations,obligation, net of recorded reserves. The fair value of this lease guaranteesguarantee (an estimate of the cost to the Company to perform on these guarantees)the guarantee) at AugustMay 27, 20222023 and November 27, 202126, 2022 was not material.
