1. Description of Business | |
Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Bassett”, “we”, “our”, the “Company”) based in Bassett, Va., is a leading manufacturer, marketer and retailer of branded home furnishings. Bassett’s full range of furniture products and accessories, designed to provide quality, style and value, are sold through an exclusive nation-wide network of 89 retail stores known as Bassett Home Furnishings (referred to as “BHF”). Of the 89 stores, the Company owns and operates 55 stores (“Company-owned retail stores”) with the other 34 being independently owned (“licensee operated”). We also distribute our products through other multi-line furniture stores, many of which feature Bassett galleries or design centers, specialty stores and mass merchants. | |
The Company sourced approximately 46% of its wholesale products to be distributed through the store network from various countries, with the remaining volume produced at its two domestic manufacturing facilities. |

2. Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in November, which periodically results in a 53-week year. Fiscal 2013 contained 53 weeks, whereas fiscal 2012 and 2011 each contained 52 weeks. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated and our majority-owned subsidiaries for whom we have operating control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 are to Bassett's fiscal year ended November 30, 2013, November 24, 2012 and November 26, 2011, respectively. References to the “ASC” included hereinafter refer to the Accounting Standards Codification established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board as the source of authoritative GAAP. | |||||||||
For comparative purposes, certain amounts in the 2012 and 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. | |||||||||
The equity method of accounting is used for our investments in affiliated companies in which we exercise significant influence but do not maintain operating control. Consolidated net income includes our proportionate share of the net income or net loss of these companies. | |||||||||
We analyzed our licensees under the requirements for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). All of these licensees operate as BHF stores and are furniture retailers. We sell furniture to these licensees, and in some cases have extended credit beyond normal terms, made lease guarantees, guaranteed loans, or loaned directly to the licensees. We have recorded reserves for potential exposures related to these licensees. See Note 17 for disclosure of leases and lease guarantees. Based on financial projections and best available information, all licensees have sufficient equity to carry out their principal operating activities without subordinated financial support. Furthermore, we believe that the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the licensees’ operating performance continues to lie with the ownership of the licensee dealers. Our rights to assume control over or otherwise influence the licensees’ significant activities only exist pursuant to our license and security agreements and are in the nature of protective rights as contemplated under ASC Topic 810. We completed our assessment for other potential VIEs, and concluded that there were none. We will continue to reassess the status of potential VIEs including when facts and circumstances surrounding each potential VIE change. | |||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, calculation of inventory reserves, valuation of income tax reserves, lease guarantees and insurance reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||
Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product have transferred to the buyer. This occurs upon the shipment of goods to independent dealers or, in the case of Company-owned retail stores, upon delivery to the customer. We offer terms varying from 30 to 60 days for wholesale customers. For retail sales, we typically collect a significant portion of the purchase price as a customer deposit upon order, with the balance typically collected upon delivery. These deposits are carried on our balance sheet as a current liability until delivery is fulfilled. Estimates for returns and allowances have been recorded as a reduction to revenue. The contracts with our licensee store owners do not provide for any royalty or license fee to be paid to us. Revenue is reported net of any taxes collected. | |||||||||
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”) outlines the four basic criteria for recognizing revenue as follows: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. SAB 104 further asserts that if collectability of all or a portion of the revenue is not reasonably assured, revenue recognition should be deferred until payment is received. During fiscal 2013, there were no dealers for which these criteria were not met. During fiscal 2012 and 2011, there were two and four dealers, respectively, for which these criteria were not met and therefore revenue was being recognized on a cost recovery basis. As of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012 there were no dealers that remained on a cost recovery basis, and as of November 26, 2011 there were two dealers that remained on the cost recovery basis. As of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012 there was no deferred gross profit resulting from the cost recovery method carried on our balance sheet as a reduction of accounts receivable. For fiscal 2013 and 2012, no revenue or cost was deferred during the year under the cost recovery method. During fiscal 2011, revenue of $1,678 and cost of $1,175 was deferred prior to any subsequent recognition due to the transaction meeting the revenue recognition requirements. | |||||||||
Cash Equivalents | |||||||||
The Company considers cash on hand, demand deposits in banks and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Our short-term investments, which consist of certificates of deposit, are not considered cash equivalents since they have original maturities of greater than three months. | |||||||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||||||
Substantially all of our trade accounts receivable is due from customers located within the United States. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis. Judgments are made with respect to the collectibility of accounts receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. The majority of our trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts are attributable to amounts owed to us by our licensees, with the remaining receivables due primarily from national account customers and traditional distribution channel customers. The percentages of our trade accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts owed to us by our licensees were as follows at November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012: | |||||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||||
Portion of trade accounts receivable owed by licensees | 50% | 52% | |||||||
Portion of allowance for doubtful accounts attributable to licensees | 64% | 84% | |||||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers | |||||||||
Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist primarily of investments, accounts and notes receivable and financial guarantees. Investments are managed within established guidelines to mitigate risks. Accounts and notes receivable and financial guarantees subject us to credit risk partially due to the concentration of amounts due from and guaranteed on behalf of independent licensee customers. At November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, our aggregate exposure from receivables and guarantees related to customers consisted of the following: | |||||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||||
Accounts receivable, net of allowances (Note 4) | $ | 16,080 | $ | 15,755 | |||||
Notes receivable, net of allowances (Note 2) | 632 | 636 | |||||||
Contingent obligations under lease and loan guarantees, less amounts recognized (Note 17) | 3,523 | 1,684 | |||||||
Total credit risk exposure related to customers | $ | 20,235 | $ | 18,075 | |||||
At November 30, 2013 approximately 27% of the aggregate risk exposure, net of reserves, shown above was attributable to two licensees. At November 24, 2012, approximately 12% of the aggregate risk exposure, net of reserves, shown above was attributable to one licensee. In fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, no customer accounted for more than 10% of total net sales. | |||||||||
We have no foreign manufacturing or retail operations. We define export sales as sales to any country or territory other than the United States or its territories or possessions. Our export sales were approximately $4,603, $4,956, and $5,481 in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||
Inventories (retail merchandise, finished goods, work in process and raw materials) are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined for domestic manufactured furniture inventories using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method because we believe this methodology provides better matching of revenue and expenses. The cost of imported inventories is determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Inventories accounted for under the LIFO method represented 17% and 18% of total inventory before reserves at November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, respectively. We estimate inventory reserves for excess quantities and obsolete items based on specific identification and historical write-offs, taking into account future demand and market conditions. If actual demand or market conditions in the future are less favorable than those estimated, additional inventory write-downs may be required. | |||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||
Property and equipment is comprised of all land, buildings and leasehold improvements and machinery and equipment used in the manufacturing and warehousing of furniture, our Company-owned retail operations and the administration of the wholesale and Company-owned retail operations. This property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets utilizing the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are generally depreciated over a period of 10 to 39 years. Machinery and equipment are generally depreciated over a period of 5 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the underlying lease term, or the asset’s estimated useful life, whichever is shorter. | |||||||||
Retail Real Estate | |||||||||
Retail real estate is comprised of owned and leased properties which have been utilized by licensee operated BHF stores, including properties which are now leased or subleased to non-licensee tenants or are currently vacant. These properties are located in high traffic, upscale locations that are normally occupied by large successful national retailers. This real estate is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated over the useful lives of the respective assets utilizing the straight line method. Buildings and improvements are generally depreciated over a period of 10 to 39 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the underlying lease term, or the asset’s estimated useful life, whichever is shorter. As of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, the cost of retail real estate included land totaling $3,502 and $4,602, respectively, and building and leasehold improvements of $11,635 and $12,680, respectively. As of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, accumulated depreciation of retail real estate was $4,834 and $4,547, respectively. Depreciation expense was $484, $501, and $876 in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. As of November 30, 2013, the cost and accumulated depreciation of our property in Henderson, Nevada has been removed from retail real estate and the net carrying value of $1,401 is classified as held for sale and included in other current assets in the accompanying balance sheet. The carrying value reflects the net selling price for which the property was under contract for sale as of November 30, 2013. The sale of the Henderson property was closed on December 26, 2013. Impairment charges related to retail real estate totaled $416 for 2013 and $3,953 for 2011 and are included in retail real estate impairment charges in other income, a component of non-operating expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no retail real estate impairment charges in 2012. | |||||||||
Goodwill | |||||||||
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration given over the fair value of the tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. The acquisition of assets and liabilities and the resulting goodwill is allocated to the respective reporting unit: Wholesale, Retail or Investments and Real Estate. We review goodwill at the reporting unit level annually for impairment or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. | |||||||||
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill & Other, the goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process, if necessary. However, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. The more likely than not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary and our goodwill is considered to be unimpaired. However, if based on our qualitative assessment we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we will proceed with performing the two-step process. Based on our qualitative assessment as described above, we have concluded that our goodwill is not impaired as of November 30, 2013. | |||||||||
The first step compares the carrying value of each reporting unit that has goodwill with the estimated fair value of the respective reporting unit. Should the carrying value of a reporting unit be in excess of the estimated fair value of that reporting unit, the second step is performed whereby we must calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit. This second step represents a hypothetical application of the acquisition method of accounting as if we had acquired the reporting unit on that date. Our impairment methodology uses a discounted cash flow analysis requiring certain assumptions and estimates to be made regarding future profitability of the reporting unit and industry economic factors. While we believe such assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the actual results may differ materially from the projected amounts. | |||||||||
Impairment of Long Lived Assets | |||||||||
We periodically evaluate whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate long-lived assets may not be recoverable or that the remaining useful life may warrant revision. When such events or circumstances are present, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value will be recovered through the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. In the event the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values depending on the nature of the assets. The long-term nature of these assets requires the estimation of cash inflows and outflows several years into the future. | |||||||||
When analyzing our real estate properties for potential impairment, we consider such qualitative factors as our experience in leasing and selling real estate properties as well as specific site and local market characteristics. Upon the closure of a Bassett Home Furnishings store, we generally write off all tenant improvements which are only suitable for use in such a store. | |||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||
We account for income taxes under the liability method which requires that we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. | |||||||||
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Despite our belief that our liability for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate, it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of the resolution of any particular tax matters. We may adjust these liabilities as relevant circumstances evolve, such as guidance from the relevant tax authority or our tax advisors, or resolution of issues in the courts. These adjustments are recognized as a component of income tax expense in the period in which they are identified. | |||||||||
We evaluate our deferred income tax assets to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. A valuation allowance is established against our deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a “more likely than not” standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with tax attributes expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. See Note 11. | |||||||||
New Store Pre-Opening Costs | |||||||||
Income (loss) from operations for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 includes new store pre-opening costs of $671, $371 and $90, respectively. Such costs consist of expenses incurred at the new store location during the period prior to its opening and include, among other things, facility occupancy costs such as rent and utilities and local store personnel costs related to pre-opening activities including training. New store pre-opening costs do not include costs which are capitalized in accordance with our property and equipment capitalization policies, such as leasehold improvements and store fixtures and equipment. Such capitalized costs associated with new stores are depreciated commencing with the opening of the store. There are no pre-opening costs associated with stores acquired from licensees, as such locations were already in operation at the time of their acquisition. | |||||||||
Shipping and Handling Costs | |||||||||
Costs incurred to deliver wholesale merchandise to customers are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and totaled $15,685, $13,548, and $13,680 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Costs incurred to deliver retail merchandise to customers are also recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and totaled $10,855, $9,957, and $7,452 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||
Advertising | |||||||||
Costs incurred for producing and distributing advertising and advertising materials are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs totaled $14,750, $13,296, and $10,399 in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||
Insurance Reserves | |||||||||
We have self-funded insurance programs in place to cover workers’ compensation and health insurance. For the period from July 2011 through June 2012, workers’ compensation was covered under a guaranteed cost program. These insurance programs are subject to various stop-loss limitations and are partially re-insured through a captive insurance program. We accrue estimated losses using historical loss experience. Although we believe that the insurance reserves are adequate, the reserve estimates are based on historical experience, which may not be indicative of current and future losses. We adjust insurance reserves, as needed, in the event that future loss experience differs from historical loss patterns. | |||||||||
Supplemental Cash Flow Information | |||||||||
In addition to the amounts paid, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of licensee stores reported under investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows, the majority of such acquisitions were funded primarily through non-cash transactions in which receivables due from the licensees were settled in exchange for certain inventory and property and equipment of the licensees as well as the assumption of certain liabilities. There were no such acquisitions during fiscal 2013, and the value of the non-cash portion of such transactions was $1,592 and $2,298 for 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 (ASU 2013-02), which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 seek to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account (for example, inventory) instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period. This guidance became effective for us prospectively beginning with our second quarter for fiscal 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact upon our financial position or results of operations. | |||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 (ASU 2013-11), which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 generally provide guidance for the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. 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 will become effective for us as of the beginning of our 2015 fiscal year and is consistent with our present practice. |

We source a significant amount of our wholesale product from other countries. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, purchases from our two largest vendors located in China and Vietnam were $24,217, $23,416 and $24,996 respectively. | |||||||||||||
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 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. | |||||||||||||

7. Financial Instruments, Investments and Fair Value Measurements | |
Financial Instruments | |
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments in certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, cost and equity method investments, accounts payable and long-term debt. Because of their short maturities, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments in certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value. Our cost and equity method investments generally involve entities for which it is not practical to determine fair values. | |
Investments | |
Our short-term investments at November 30, 2013 consist of certificates of deposit (CDs) with terms generally ranging from six to twelve months, bearing interest at rates ranging from 0.12% to 1.00% with a weighted average yield of approximately 0.224%. At November 30, 2013, the weighted average remaining time to maturity of the CDs was approximately five months. 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 November 30, 2013 approximates their fair value. | |
Prior to November 24, 2012, our investments consisted of a portfolio of marketable securities and our investment in the Fortress Value Recovery Fund I, LLC (“Fortress”), During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 we liquidated our entire portfolio of marketable securities, resulting in a net gain of $313 which is included in income from investments in our accompanying consolidated statement of income for the year ended November 24, 2012. Our marketable securities had been classified as available-for-sale and were marked to market and recorded at their fair value. We measured the fair value of our marketable securities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. | |
Prior to the liquidation of our available for sale securities, unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related income tax effect, had been excluded from income and were reported as other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. The realized earnings from our marketable securities portfolio include realized gains and losses, based upon specific identification, and dividend and interest income. Realized earnings were $453 and $163 for fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively. Realized earnings for the year ended November 24, 2012 include $208 of gains previously recorded in other comprehensive income. These amounts are recorded in other, loss net in our consolidated statements of income. | |
Our investment in Fortress has been valued at fair value primarily based on the net asset values which are determined by the fund manager, less a discount for illiquidity. Consequently, the inputs are considered to be Level 3 as specified in the fair value hierarchy in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Due to significant declines in net asset values during the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the highly illiquid nature of the investment, and the high degree of uncertainty regarding our ability to recover our investment in the foreseeable future, we fully impaired the carrying amount of this investment resulting in a charge of $806 during the year ended November 24, 2012, which is reported as other than temporary impairment of investments in the consolidated statement of income. | |
Fair Value Measurement | |
The Company accounts for items measured at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820’s valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. ASC 820 classifies these inputs into the following hierarchy: | |
Level 1 Inputs– Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. | |
Level 2 Inputs– 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 Inputs– Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers. | |
We believe that the carrying amounts of our current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The recurring estimate of the fair value of our mortgages payable for disclosure purposes (see Note 12) involves Level 3 inputs. Our primary non-recurring fair value estimates, typically involving the valuation of business acquisitions (Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and asset impairments (see Note 15) have utilized Level 3 inputs. |

8. Income from the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act | |
During the year ended November 24, 2012, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”) made a distribution to us of $9,010 representing our share of the final distribution of duties that have been withheld by Customs under the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act of 2000 (“CDSOA”). We have received annual distributions in past years under the CDSOA as a result of our support of an antidumping petition on imports of wooden bedroom furniture from China, such distributions having been recognized in income during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year when our annual share was determined. Income from such distributions recognized during fiscal 2011 was $765. Certain manufacturers who did not support the antidumping petition (“Non-Supporting Producers”) filed actions in the United States Court of International Trade challenging the CDSOA's “support requirement” and seeking to share in the distributions. As a result, Customs held back a portion of those distributions (“the Holdback”) pending resolution of the Non-Supporting Producers' claims. The Court of International Trade dismissed all of the actions of the Non-Supporting Producers, who appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“the Court of Appeals”). The Court of Appeals denied the Non-Supporting Producers’ request for an injunction to block the final distribution of the Holdback and allowed Customs to distribute the funds in April of 2012. The Court of Appeals held oral arguments on March 8, 2013 concerning the appeals, and on August 19, 2013 a three-judge panel ruled against the appellants in a two-to-one decision. The Non-Supporting Producers’ request for an en banc rehearing by the full Court of Appeals has been denied and now they may appeal to the United States Supreme Court. Should the Supreme Court agree to hear the appeal and then reverse the decisions of the United States Court of International Trade which ordered the release of the final distribution, it is possible that Customs may seek to have us return all or a portion of our share of the distribution. However, we believe that the chance Customs will seek and be entitled to obtain a return is remote. |

9. Licensee Acquisitions and Goodwill | |||||||||||||
As we continually monitor business relationships with our licensees, we may determine from time to time that it is in our best interest to acquire a licensee’s operations in order to mitigate certain risks associated with the poor performance or potential failure of a licensee. Such risks include loss of receivables or underlying collateral, potential impairment of the value of our investments in real estate used by a licensee or exposure to contingent liabilities under lease guarantees, and potential harm to our market share and brand integrity within a licensee’s market. In addition, we are sometimes approached by our licensees to acquire all or certain stores operated by the licensee. We evaluate such opportunities considering, among other things, the viability of the market and our participation in the store real estate. | |||||||||||||
There were no acquisitions of licensee operations during fiscal 2013. During fiscal 2012, we acquired one store located in Knoxville, Tennessee and two stores in the Orange County, California market. In both cases our licensees desired to exit those markets but continue operating in other markets. The acquisition price for the Knoxville store was $673, funded through the exchange of $485 in cash and $188 in existing accounts receivable for the net assets acquired from the licensee plus recognized goodwill of $375. The acquisition price for the two Orange County stores was $1,468, funded through the exchange of $64 in cash and $1,404 in existing accounts receivable for the net assets acquired plus recognized goodwill of $921. | |||||||||||||
During fiscal 2011, we acquired nine retail stores, operated by 4 licensees, in Nevada, Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky and Connecticut. These stores were acquired pursuant to strict foreclosure and settlement agreements on the underlying assets subject to the terms of our security agreements with the licensees. These acquisitions were funded through the exchange of existing accounts receivable for the net assets acquired from the licensee. | |||||||||||||
Our acquisitions were accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The following table summarizes the net assets acquired and consideration given in the store acquisitions: | |||||||||||||

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured at fair value in accordance with ASC 805. Acquired inventory is valued at expected retail sales price less an allowance for direct selling costs and profit thereon. Acquired property and equipment are valued based upon our estimate of replacement cost less an allowance for age and condition at the time of acquisition. Customer deposits and accrued expenses are expected to be settled at face value within a short period following acquisition; therefore face value is assumed to approximate fair value. The inputs into these fair value calculations 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 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. See Note 7. | |||||||||||||
The pro forma impact of the acquisitions on current and prior periods is not presented as we believe it is impractical to do so. We were not able to compile what we believed to be complete, accurate and reliable accounting information to use as a basis for pro forma presentations without an unreasonable effort.

We paid Zenith approximately $29,313, $25,317 and $23,665, for freight expense and logistical services in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. At November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, we owed Zenith $2,580 and $2,547, respectively, for services rendered to us. We believe the transactions with Zenith are at current market rates.

$4,695 of proceeds was placed in escrow to indemnify the purchaser with respect to various contingencies. On December 19, 2012, we received $2,348 for the release of half of this escrow, with the remainder, provided it is not used for contingencies, being due for release to us during the third quarter of fiscal 2014. Currently, we have no reason to believe that any obligations will arise out of such contingencies and therefore expect that the escrowed funds, along with earnings thereon, will be released to us in their entirety as scheduled. Also in connection with the sale, we acquired a minority equity stake in IMC in exchange for $1,000. IMC is majority owned by funds managed by Bain Capital Partners and a subsidiary of certain investment funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. Our investment in IMC is accounted for using the cost method as we do not have significant influence over IMC. | |||||||||||||
IHFC owned and leased out floor space in a showroom facility in High Point, North Carolina. Prior to the sale of our investment in IHFC, we accounted for the investment using the equity method since we did not maintain operating control of IHFC. During fiscal 2011 we recorded income and received dividends from IHFC prior to divestiture of $1,832 and $3,756, respectively. | |||||||||||||

Due to the losses incurred prior to fiscal 2011, we were in a cumulative loss position for the three years preceding fiscal 2011which is considered significant negative evidence that is difficult to overcome on a “more likely than not” standard through objectively verifiable data. While our long-term financial outlook remained positive, we concluded that our ability to rely on our long-term outlook and forecasts as to future taxable income was limited due to uncertainty created by the weight of the negative evidence. As a result, we previously recorded a valuation allowance on certain of the deferred tax assets. In fiscal 2011, due to the gain recognized on the sale of our interest in IHFC, we were able to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and credits to significantly offset the taxable gain, resulting in a significant reduction of the valuation allowances. However, as the gain on the sale of IHFC did not represent a source of recurring future taxable income, we continued to record a valuation allowance against substantially all of our deferred tax assets as of November 26, 2011. Due to our positive earnings during fiscal 2012, and the absence of any significant negative evidence to the contrary, we concluded that we could rely on our positive long-term outlook and forecasts as to future taxable income in evaluating our ability to realize our deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the reserve against the majority of our deferred tax assets was removed in fiscal 2012, resulting in a credit to income of $18,704, or $1.70 and $1.69 per basic and diluted share, respectively, which is included in our net income tax benefit for that year. The remaining valuation allowance of $1,044 and $908 as of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, respectively, is primarily related to state net operating loss carryforwards for which it is currently considered to be more likely than not that they will not be utilized prior to their expiration. | |||||||||||||

We have state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable state income of $29,211, which expire in varying amounts between 2014 and 2030. Realization is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carryforwards. | |||||||||||||
Net income taxes paid during 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $2,723, $2,010, and $3,651, respectively. | |||||||||||||
As of November 30, 2013, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $1,497 exclusive of interest and penalties. Of this balance, if we were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, approximately $239 would benefit the effective tax rate. As of November 24, 2012, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $1,228, exclusive of interest and penalties. Of this balance, if we were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, approximately $175 would benefit the effective tax rate. We regularly evaluate, assess and adjust the related liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances, which could cause the effective tax rate to fluctuate from period to period. | |||||||||||||

We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, we recognized $(23), $(63), and $67 of interest expense (expense recovery) and $31, $57, and $46 of penalty expense recovery, respectively, related to the unrecognized benefits noted above in our consolidated statements of income. At November 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the consolidated balance sheets include accrued interest of $140 and $164, and penalties of $10 and $40, respectively, due to unrecognized tax benefits. | |||||||||||||
Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company's federal and state tax positions and in the determination of its tax provision. Despite our belief that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate, it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of the resolution of any particular tax matter. We may adjust these liabilities as relevant circumstances evolve, such as guidance from the relevant tax authority, or resolution of issues in the courts. These adjustments are recognized as a component of income tax expense in the period in which they are identified. The Company also cannot predict when or if any other future tax payments related to these tax positions may occur. | |||||||||||||
We remain subject to examination for tax years 2010 through 2012 for all of our major tax jurisdictions. | |||||||||||||
The IRS released the final and re-proposed tangible property regulations in September of 2013. While the regulations are now final, they are effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, which for the Company will be fiscal 2015. |

Certain of our retail real estate properties have been financed through commercial mortgages with an interest rate of 6.73%. These mortgages are collateralized by the respective properties with net book values totaling approximately $6,262 and $6,397 at November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, respectively. The current portion of these mortgages, $279 and $241 as of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, respectively, has been included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The long-term portion, $2,467 and $3,053 as of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, respectively, is presented as real estate notes payable in the consolidated balance sheets. During fiscal 2011, we entered into Discounted Payoff Agreements (“DPOs”) with the lenders on three mortgages which were subsequently paid off during the year. Under the terms of these DPOs the remaining balance owed was reduced, resulting in a $1,305 gain on the settlement of these mortgages. This gain is included in other loss, net, in our consolidated statements of income. | |||||||||
The fair value of these mortgages was $2,684 and $3,309 at November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, respectively. In determining the fair value we utilized current market interest rates for similar instruments. The inputs into these fair value calculations 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 7. | |||||||||

We were in compliance with all covenants under the facility at November 30, 2013 and expect to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future. | |||||||||
At November 30, 2013 we had $1,366 outstanding under standby letters of credit, leaving availability under our credit line of $13,634. | |||||||||

Supplemental Retirement Income Plan | |||||||||||||
We have an unfunded Supplemental Retirement Income Plan (the “Supplemental Plan”) that covers one current and certain former executives. Upon retirement, the Supplemental Plan provides for lifetime monthly payments in an amount equal to 65% of the participant’s final average compensation as defined in the Supplemental Plan, which is reduced by certain social security benefits to be received and other benefits provided by us. The Supplemental Plan also provides a death benefit that is calculated as (a) prior to retirement death, which pays the beneficiary 50% of final average annual compensation for a period of 120 months, or (b) post-retirement death, which pays the beneficiary 200% of final average compensation in a single payment. We own life insurance policies on these executives with a current net death benefit of $3,316 at November 30, 2013 and we expect to substantially fund this death benefit through the proceeds received upon the death of the executive. Funding for the remaining cash flows is expected to be provided through operations. There are no benefits payable as a result of a termination of employment for any reason other than death or retirement, other than a change of control provision which provides for the immediate vesting and payment of the retirement benefit under the Supplemental Plan in the event of an employment termination resulting from a change of control. | |||||||||||||

Deferred Compensation Plan | |||||||||||||
We have an unfunded Deferred Compensation Plan that covers one current and certain former executives and provides for voluntary deferral of compensation. This plan has been frozen with no additional participants or benefits permitted. We recognized expense of $288, $312, and $332 in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, associated with the plan. Our liability under this plan was $2,555 and $2,615 as of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, respectively.

Expense for employer matching contributions was $340 and $175 during fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively. During fiscal 2011, employer matching contributions remained suspended and no expense was incurred. |

We account for our stock-based employee and director compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 requires recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting period) which we recognize on a straight-line basis. Compensation expense related to restricted stock and stock options included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Stock Option Plans | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
In 1997, we adopted an Employee Stock Plan (the “1997 Plan”), and reserved for issuance 950,000 shares of common stock. An additional 500,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance in 2000. In addition, the terms of the 1997 Plan allow for the re-issuance of any stock options which have been forfeited before being exercised. Options granted under the 1997 Plan may be for such terms and exercised at such times as determined by the Organization, Compensation, and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors. Vesting periods typically range from one to three years. There are no shares available for grant under the 1997 Plan at November 30, 2013, however up to 500,000 shares associated with outstanding grants under the 1997 may become available for grant under the 2010 Plan (see below). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
On April 14, 2010, our shareholders approved the Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). All present and future non-employee directors, key employees and outside consultants for the Company are eligible to receive incentive awards under the 2010 Plan. Our Organization, Compensation and Nominating Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) selects eligible key employees and outside consultants to receive awards under the 2010 Plan in its discretion. Our Board of Directors or any committee designated by the Board of Directors selects eligible non-employee directors to receive awards under the 2010 Plan in its discretion. Five hundred thousand (500,000) shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan. In addition, up to 500,000 shares that are represented by outstanding awards under the 1997 Employee Stock Plan which are forfeited, expire or are canceled after the effective date of the 2010 Plan will be added to the reserve and may be used for new awards under the 2010 Plan. Participants may receive the following types of incentive awards under the 2010 Plan: stock options, stock appreciation rights, payment shares, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance shares. Stock options may be incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in tandem with stock options or as a freestanding award. Non-employee directors and outside consultants are eligible to receive restricted stock and restricted stock units only. We expect to issue new common stock upon the exercise of options. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The risk free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant, volatility is based on the average long-term implied volatilities of peer companies, the expected life is based on the estimated average of the life of options using the simplified method, and forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant based on certain historical data. We utilize the simplified method to determine the expected life of our options due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years as a basis from which to estimate future exercise patterns. During fiscal 2011, our Compensation Committee authorized the issuance of 91,000 stock options from the 2010 Plan to certain of our key employees. The stock options vest ratably over a four-year period and have 10-year contractual terms. The following table sets forth the weighted average fair value of options granted during 2011 and the weighted average assumptions used for such grants (there were no grants made in 2013 or 2012): | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges | |||||||||||||
During fiscal 2012, we incurred costs of $203 associated with the demolition of a previously closed manufacturing facility in Bassett, Virginia; non-cash charges of $385 associated with the write-down of a previously closed manufacturing facility in Mt. Airy, North Carolina; and $123 associated with the write off of abandoned leasehold improvements following the relocation of a retail store near Richmond, Virginia. | |||||||||||||
Lease Exit Costs | |||||||||||||
During fiscal 2012, we incurred non-cash charges of $228 for lease exit costs associated with the relocation of a retail store near Richmond, Virginia, as well as $131 of non-cash charges to reflect reduced estimates of recoverable lease costs at several previously closed retail locations. | |||||||||||||
Fiscal 2011 | |||||||||||||
Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges | |||||||||||||
During fiscal 2011, we recorded asset impairment charges of $2,500. These charges included costs of $318 for the demolition of a previously closed facility in Bassett, Virginia, and $32 associated with the relocation of our retail store in Manchester, Missouri. We also incurred non-cash charges which included $966 for the write-off of leasehold improvements related to the closure of six retail locations in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Bear, Delaware; Bel Air, Maryland; Carol Stream, Illinois; Frederick, Maryland; and Spanish Fort, Alabama; $566 for the additional write-down of a previously closed manufacturing facility in Mt. Airy, North Carolina; $428 for the additional write-down of the previously closed manufacturing facility in Bassett, Virginia; and $190 for the write-off of leasehold improvements and other assets associated with the relocation of our retail store in Manchester, Missouri. Total non-cash impairment charges described above for the year ended November 26, 2011 were $2,150. The write-downs of the previously closed manufacturing facilities are based on our estimates of their fair values. 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 7. | |||||||||||||
Lease Exit Costs | |||||||||||||
During fiscal 2011, we recorded charges of $3,728 for lease exit costs and lease modifications which included: non-cash charges of $1,221 for lease exit costs related to the closure of retail stores in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Bel Air and Frederick, Maryland, and a previously closed location in Lewisville, Texas; non-cash charges of $1,007 to reflect reduced estimates of recoverable lease costs at four previously closed retail locations; and a charge of $1,500 for a cash payment made for the modification of an existing lease at one of our Company-owned retail store locations. | |||||||||||||
Licensee Debt Cancellation Charges | |||||||||||||
During fiscal 2011, we gained significant liquidity as a result of the sale of our investment in IHFC (see Note 10). This liquidity event enabled us to become more opportunistic in managing our relationships with our licensees and therefore accelerate certain licensees’ ability to rebuild their businesses after several years of extremely difficult industry conditions. As such, during fiscal 2011, we cancelled certain debts of what we consider to be key licensees in select markets. While the debts cancelled were considered to be collectible over time, we believe that, rather than requiring repayment of these obligations, we will realize a greater long-term benefit by the cancellation of these debts. In exchange for relieving the debts of these licensees and thus strengthening their respective financial positions, we believe these licensees will be in a much better position to reinvest in all aspects of their store operations (new product offerings, personnel, advertising, building appeal, etc.) which will ultimately lead to increased sales and profitability of the Bassett brand. As a result of this debt cancellation, we incurred a charge for fiscal 2011 of $6,447. | |||||||||||||
In addition to the charges discussed above affecting loss from operations, during fiscal 2013 other income (loss), net includes a non-cash charge of $416 for impairment of our real estate investment property in Henderson, Nevada which was held for sale at November 30, 2013. The sale of this property was closed on December 26, 2013. During fiscal 2011, other income (loss), net includes non-cash charges of $4,790 for asset impairments and lease termination costs associated with our retail real estate investments, including: asset impairment charges of $2,106 to write down idle retail locations in Henderson, Nevada and Chesterfield, Virginia to appraised values; $1,847 to write off certain tenant improvements deemed to be unrecoverable; $661 related to lease termination costs for a closed licensee store; and $176 related to adjustments of previous estimates. The write-downs of the retail assets are based on our estimates of their fair values. 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 7. |

We are involved in various claims and actions, including 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, it is our opinion that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or future results of operations. | |

Leases | |||||
We lease land and buildings under operating leases that are used in the operation of our Company-owned retail stores as well as in the operation of independent licensee BHF stores. Our decision to exercise renewal options is primarily dependent on the level of business conducted at the location and the profitability thereof. Some store leases contain contingent rental provisions based upon sales volume. Additionally, we lease showroom space from IMC (and from its predecessor, IHFC), which is priced at what we believe to be a market rate. Lease terms range from one to 15 years and generally have renewal options of between five and 15 years. The following schedule shows future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases having remaining terms in excess of one year as of November 30, 2013: | |||||

Lease expense was $18,403, $17,123 and $16,406 for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. | |||||
In addition to subleasing certain of these properties, we own retail real estate which we in turn lease to licensee operators of BHF stores. We also own real estate for closed stores which we lease to non-licensees. The following schedule shows minimum future rental income related to pass-through rental expense on subleased property as well as rental income on real estate owned by Bassett, excluding subleases based on a percentage of sales. | |||||

Real estate rental income (loss), net of expense (including lease costs, depreciation, insurance, and taxes), related to licensee stores and other investment real estate, was $(594), $(468) and $285 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is reflected in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. | |||||
Guarantees | |||||
As part of the strategy for our store program, we have guaranteed certain lease obligations of licensee operators. Lease guarantees range from one to ten years. We were contingently liable under licensee lease obligation guarantees in the amount of $3,698 and $2,007 at November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, respectively. | |||||
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, liquidating the collateral, and pursuing payment under the personal guarantees of the independent dealer. The proceeds of the above options are estimated to cover the maximum amount of our future payments under the guarantee obligations, net of reserves. The fair value of lease guarantees (an estimate of the cost to the Company to perform on these guarantees) at November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, were not material. |

19. Segment Information | |||||||||||||
We have strategically aligned our business into three reportable segments as defined in ASC 280, Segment Reporting, and as described below: | |||||||||||||
● | Wholesale. The wholesale home furnishings segment is involved principally in the design, manufacture, sourcing, sale and distribution of furniture products to a network of Bassett stores (Company-owned and licensee-owned stores retail stores) and independent furniture retailers. Our wholesale segment includes our wood and upholstery operations as well as all corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, including those corporate expenses related to both Company- and licensee-owned stores. | ||||||||||||
● | Retail – Company-owned Stores. Our retail segment consists of Company-owned stores and includes the revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities (including real estate) and capital expenditures directly related to these stores. | ||||||||||||
● | Investments and Real Estate. Our investments and real estate segment consists of our short-term investments, our holdings of real estate leased or previously leased as licensee stores, and our equity investment in Zenith. We also hold an investment in Fortress, which we fully reserved during the first quarter of 2012. Although this segment does not have operating earnings, income or loss from the segment is included in other income (loss), net, in our consolidated statements of income. During fiscal 2011, other income included the gain on the sale of our equity interest in IHFC as well as our equity in the income of IHFC for fiscal 2011 through the date of the sale. See Note 10 for further discussion of IHFC. | ||||||||||||
Inter-company net sales elimination represents the elimination of wholesale sales to our Company-owned stores. Inter-company income elimination includes the embedded wholesale profit in the Company-owned store inventory that has not been realized. These profits will be recorded when merchandise is delivered to the retail consumer. The inter-company income elimination also includes rent paid by our retail stores occupying Company-owned real estate. | |||||||||||||

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ||||||||
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last Saturday in November, which periodically results in a 53-week year. Fiscal 2013 contained 53 weeks, whereas fiscal 2012 and 2011 each contained 52 weeks. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated and our majority-owned subsidiaries for whom we have operating control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Unless otherwise indicated, references in the Consolidated Financial Statements to fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 are to Bassett's fiscal year ended November 30, 2013, November 24, 2012 and November 26, 2011, respectively. References to the “ASC” included hereinafter refer to the Accounting Standards Codification established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board as the source of authoritative GAAP. | |||||||||
For comparative purposes, certain amounts in the 2012 and 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. | |||||||||
The equity method of accounting is used for our investments in affiliated companies in which we exercise significant influence but do not maintain operating control. Consolidated net income includes our proportionate share of the net income or net loss of these companies. | |||||||||
We analyzed our licensees under the requirements for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). All of these licensees operate as BHF stores and are furniture retailers. We sell furniture to these licensees, and in some cases have extended credit beyond normal terms, made lease guarantees, guaranteed loans, or loaned directly to the licensees. We have recorded reserves for potential exposures related to these licensees. See Note 17 for disclosure of leases and lease guarantees. Based on financial projections and best available information, all licensees have sufficient equity to carry out their principal operating activities without subordinated financial support. Furthermore, we believe that the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the licensees’ operating performance continues to lie with the ownership of the licensee dealers. Our rights to assume control over or otherwise influence the licensees’ significant activities only exist pursuant to our license and security agreements and are in the nature of protective rights as contemplated under ASC Topic 810. We completed our assessment for other potential VIEs, and concluded that there were none. We will continue to reassess the status of potential VIEs including when facts and circumstances surrounding each potential VIE change | |||||||||
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Use of Estimates | |||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some of the more significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, calculation of inventory reserves, valuation of income tax reserves, lease guarantees and insurance reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||
Revenue is recognized when the risks and rewards of ownership and title to the product have transferred to the buyer. This occurs upon the shipment of goods to independent dealers or, in the case of Company-owned retail stores, upon delivery to the customer. We offer terms varying from 30 to 60 days for wholesale customers. For retail sales, we typically collect a significant portion of the purchase price as a customer deposit upon order, with the balance typically collected upon delivery. These deposits are carried on our balance sheet as a current liability until delivery is fulfilled. Estimates for returns and allowances have been recorded as a reduction to revenue. The contracts with our licensee store owners do not provide for any royalty or license fee to be paid to us. Revenue is reported net of any taxes collected. | |||||||||
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition (“SAB 104”) outlines the four basic criteria for recognizing revenue as follows: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. SAB 104 further asserts that if collectability of all or a portion of the revenue is not reasonably assured, revenue recognition should be deferred until payment is received. During fiscal 2013, there were no dealers for which these criteria were not met. During fiscal 2012 and 2011, there were two and four dealers, respectively, for which these criteria were not met and therefore revenue was being recognized on a cost recovery basis. As of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012 there were no dealers that remained on a cost recovery basis, and as of November 26, 2011 there were two dealers that remained on the cost recovery basis. As of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012 there was no deferred gross profit resulting from the cost recovery method carried on our balance sheet as a reduction of accounts receivable. For fiscal 2013 and 2012, no revenue or cost was deferred during the year under the cost recovery method. During fiscal 2011, revenue of $1,678 and cost of $1,175 was deferred prior to any subsequent recognition due to the transaction meeting the revenue recognition requirements. | |||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Cash Equivalents | |||||||||
The Company considers cash on hand, demand deposits in banks and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Our short-term investments, which consist of certificates of deposit, are not considered cash equivalents since they have original maturities of greater than three months. | |||||||||
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||||||
Substantially all of our trade accounts receivable is due from customers located within the United States. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts in addition to an overall aging analysis. Judgments are made with respect to the collectibility of accounts receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. The majority of our trade accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts are attributable to amounts owed to us by our licensees, with the remaining receivables due primarily from national account customers and traditional distribution channel customers. The percentages of our trade accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts owed to us by our licensees were as follows at November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012: | |||||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||||
Portion of trade accounts receivable owed by licensees | 50% | 52% | |||||||
Portion of allowance for doubtful accounts attributable to licensees | 64% | 84% | |||||||
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers | |||||||||
Financial instruments that subject us to credit risk consist primarily of investments, accounts and notes receivable and financial guarantees. Investments are managed within established guidelines to mitigate risks. Accounts and notes receivable and financial guarantees subject us to credit risk partially due to the concentration of amounts due from and guaranteed on behalf of independent licensee customers. At November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, our aggregate exposure from receivables and guarantees related to customers consisted of the following: | |||||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||||
Accounts receivable, net of allowances (Note 4) | $ | 16,080 | $ | 15,755 | |||||
Notes receivable, net of allowances (Note 2) | 632 | 636 | |||||||
Contingent obligations under lease and loan guarantees, less amounts recognized (Note 17) | 3,523 | 1,684 | |||||||
Total credit risk exposure related to customers | $ | 20,235 | $ | 18,075 | |||||
At November 30, 2013 approximately 27% of the aggregate risk exposure, net of reserves, shown above was attributable to two licensees. At November 24, 2012, approximately 12% of the aggregate risk exposure, net of reserves, shown above was attributable to one licensee. In fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, no customer accounted for more than 10% of total net sales. | |||||||||
We have no foreign manufacturing or retail operations. We define export sales as sales to any country or territory other than the United States or its territories or possessions. Our export sales were approximately $4,603, $4,956, and $5,481 in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||
Inventories (retail merchandise, finished goods, work in process and raw materials) are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined for domestic manufactured furniture inventories using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method because we believe this methodology provides better matching of revenue and expenses. The cost of imported inventories is determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. Inventories accounted for under the LIFO method represented 17% and 18% of total inventory before reserves at November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, respectively. We estimate inventory reserves for excess quantities and obsolete items based on specific identification and historical write-offs, taking into account future demand and market conditions. If actual demand or market conditions in the future are less favorable than those estimated, additional inventory write-downs may be required. | |||||||||
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||
Property and equipment is comprised of all land, buildings and leasehold improvements and machinery and equipment used in the manufacturing and warehousing of furniture, our Company-owned retail operations and the administration of the wholesale and Company-owned retail operations. This property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets utilizing the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are generally depreciated over a period of 10 to 39 years. Machinery and equipment are generally depreciated over a period of 5 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the underlying lease term, or the asset’s estimated useful life, whichever is shorter. | |||||||||
Retail Real Estate | |||||||||
Retail real estate is comprised of owned and leased properties which have been utilized by licensee operated BHF stores, including properties which are now leased or subleased to non-licensee tenants or are currently vacant. These properties are located in high traffic, upscale locations that are normally occupied by large successful national retailers. This real estate is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated over the useful lives of the respective assets utilizing the straight line method. Buildings and improvements are generally depreciated over a period of 10 to 39 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized based on the underlying lease term, or the asset’s estimated useful life, whichever is shorter. As of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, the cost of retail real estate included land totaling $3,502 and $4,602, respectively, and building and leasehold improvements of $11,635 and $12,680, respectively. As of November 30, 2013 and November 24, 2012, accumulated depreciation of retail real estate was $4,834 and $4,547, respectively. Depreciation expense was $484, $501, and $876 in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. As of November 30, 2013, the cost and accumulated depreciation of our property in Henderson, Nevada has been removed from retail real estate and the net carrying value of $1,401 is classified as held for sale and included in other current assets in the accompanying balance sheet. The carrying value reflects the net selling price for which the property was under contract for sale as of November 30, 2013. The sale of the Henderson property was closed on December 26, 2013. Impairment charges related to retail real estate totaled $416 for 2013 and $3,953 for 2011 and are included in retail real estate impairment charges in other income, a component of non-operating expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no retail real estate impairment charges in 2012. | |||||||||
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Goodwill | |||||||||
Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration given over the fair value of the tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. The acquisition of assets and liabilities and the resulting goodwill is allocated to the respective reporting unit: Wholesale, Retail or Investments and Real Estate. We review goodwill at the reporting unit level annually for impairment or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that assets might be impaired. | |||||||||
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill & Other, the goodwill impairment test consists of a two-step process, if necessary. However, we first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC Topic 350. The more likely than not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, we determine that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary and our goodwill is considered to be unimpaired. However, if based on our qualitative assessment we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we will proceed with performing the two-step process. Based on our qualitative assessment as described above, we have concluded that our goodwill is not impaired as of November 30, 2013. | |||||||||
The first step compares the carrying value of each reporting unit that has goodwill with the estimated fair value of the respective reporting unit. Should the carrying value of a reporting unit be in excess of the estimated fair value of that reporting unit, the second step is performed whereby we must calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible net assets of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit. This second step represents a hypothetical application of the acquisition method of accounting as if we had acquired the reporting unit on that date. Our impairment methodology uses a discounted cash flow analysis requiring certain assumptions and estimates to be made regarding future profitability of the reporting unit and industry economic factors. While we believe such assumptions and estimates are reasonable, the actual results may differ materially from the projected amounts. | |||||||||
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Impairment of Long Lived Assets | |||||||||
We periodically evaluate whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate long-lived assets may not be recoverable or that the remaining useful life may warrant revision. When such events or circumstances are present, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value will be recovered through the expected undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. In the event the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values depending on the nature of the assets. The long-term nature of these assets requires the estimation of cash inflows and outflows several years into the future. | |||||||||
When analyzing our real estate properties for potential impairment, we consider such qualitative factors as our experience in leasing and selling real estate properties as well as specific site and local market characteristics. Upon the closure of a Bassett Home Furnishings store, we generally write off all tenant improvements which are only suitable for use in such a store. | |||||||||
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||
We account for income taxes under the liability method which requires that we recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. | |||||||||
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Despite our belief that our liability for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate, it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of the resolution of any particular tax matters. We may adjust these liabilities as relevant circumstances evolve, such as guidance from the relevant tax authority or our tax advisors, or resolution of issues in the courts. These adjustments are recognized as a component of income tax expense in the period in which they are identified. | |||||||||
We evaluate our deferred income tax assets to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. A valuation allowance is established against our deferred tax assets based on consideration of all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a “more likely than not” standard. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with tax attributes expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. See Note 11. | |||||||||
New Store Pre-Opening Costs [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
New Store Pre-Opening Costs | |||||||||
Income (loss) from operations for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 includes new store pre-opening costs of $671, $371 and $90, respectively. Such costs consist of expenses incurred at the new store location during the period prior to its opening and include, among other things, facility occupancy costs such as rent and utilities and local store personnel costs related to pre-opening activities including training. New store pre-opening costs do not include costs which are capitalized in accordance with our property and equipment capitalization policies, such as leasehold improvements and store fixtures and equipment. Such capitalized costs associated with new stores are depreciated commencing with the opening of the store. There are no pre-opening costs associated with stores acquired from licensees, as such locations were already in operation at the time of their acquisition | |||||||||
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Shipping and Handling Costs | |||||||||
Costs incurred to deliver wholesale merchandise to customers are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and totaled $15,685, $13,548, and $13,680 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Costs incurred to deliver retail merchandise to customers are also recorded in selling, general and administrative expense and totaled $10,855, $9,957, and $7,452 for fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Advertising | |||||||||
Costs incurred for producing and distributing advertising and advertising materials are expensed when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising costs totaled $14,750, $13,296, and $10,399 in fiscal 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||
Liability Reserve Estimate, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Insurance Reserves | |||||||||
We have self-funded insurance programs in place to cover workers’ compensation and health insurance. For the period from July 2011 through June 2012, workers’ compensation was covered under a guaranteed cost program. These insurance programs are subject to various stop-loss limitations and are partially re-insured through a captive insurance program. We accrue estimated losses using historical loss experience. Although we believe that the insurance reserves are adequate, the reserve estimates are based on historical experience, which may not be indicative of current and future losses. We adjust insurance reserves, as needed, in the event that future loss experience differs from historical loss patterns. | |||||||||
Supplemental Cash Flow Information [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Supplemental Cash Flow Information | |||||||||
In addition to the amounts paid, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of licensee stores reported under investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows, the majority of such acquisitions were funded primarily through non-cash transactions in which receivables due from the licensees were settled in exchange for certain inventory and property and equipment of the licensees as well as the assumption of certain liabilities. There were no such acquisitions during fiscal 2013, and the value of the non-cash portion of such transactions was $1,592 and $2,298 for 2012 and 2011, respectively. | |||||||||
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 (ASU 2013-02), which updates the guidance in ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. The objective of ASU 2013-02 is to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 seek to attain that objective by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to a balance sheet account (for example, inventory) instead of directly to income or expense in the same reporting period. This guidance became effective for us prospectively beginning with our second quarter for fiscal 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact upon our financial position or results of operations. | |||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 (ASU 2013-11), which updated the guidance in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 generally provide guidance for the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. 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 will become effective for us as of the beginning of our 2015 fiscal year and is consistent with our present practice. |
