Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Genesco Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") business includes the sourcing and design, marketing and distribution of footwear and accessories through retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada primarily under the Journeys, Journeys Kidz, Little Burgundy and Johnston & Murphy banners and under the Schuh banner in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and Germany; through catalogs and e-commerce websites including the following: journeys.com, journeyskidz.com, journeys.ca, schuh.co.uk, littleburgundyshoes.com, johnstonmurphy.com and trask.com, and at wholesale, primarily under the Company's Johnston & Murphy brand, the Trask brand, the licensed Dockers brand and other brands that the Company licenses for footwear. On February 2, 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Lids Sports Group business. As a result, the Company reported the operating results of this business in (loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. In addition, the related assets and liabilities as of February 3, 2018 have been reported as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cash flows related to discontinued operations have not been segregated, and are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Unless otherwise noted, discussion within these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. See Note 3 for additional information related to discontinued operations. At February 2, 2019, the Company operated 1,512 retail stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and Germany. During Fiscal 2019, the Company operated four reportable business segments (not including corporate): (i) Journeys Group, comprised of the Journeys, Journeys Kidz and Little Burgundy retail footwear chains, e-commerce and catalog operations; (ii) Schuh Group, comprised of the Schuh retail footwear chain and e-commerce operations; (iii) Johnston & Murphy Group, comprised of Johnston & Murphy retail operations, e-commerce and catalog operations and wholesale distribution of products under the Johnston & Murphy ® and H.S. Trask ® brands; and (iv) Licensed Brands, comprised of Dockers ® Footwear, sourced and marketed under a license from Levi Strauss & Company; G.H. Bass Footwear operated under a license from G-III Apparel Group, Ltd., which was terminated in January 2018; and other brands. Principles of Consolidation All subsidiaries are consolidated in the Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Fiscal Year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. As a result, Fiscal 2019 was a 52-week year with 364 days, Fiscal 2018 was a 53-week year with 371 days and Fiscal 2017 was a 52-week year with 364 days. Fiscal 2019 ended on February 2, 2019, Fiscal 2018 ended on February 3, 2018 and Fiscal 2017 ended on January 28, 2017. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring management estimates or judgments include the following key financial areas: Inventory Valuation The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value in its wholesale and Schuh Group segment. In its footwear wholesale operations and its Schuh Group segment, cost is determined using the FIFO method. Net realizable value is determined using a system of analysis which evaluates inventory at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price, inventory level, and selling prices reflected in future orders for footwear wholesale. The Company provides a valuation allowance when the inventory has not been marked down to net realizable value based on current selling prices or when the inventory is not turning and is not expected to turn at levels satisfactory to the Company. In its retail operations, other than the Schuh Group segment, the Company employs the retail inventory method, applying average cost-to-retail ratios to the retail value of inventories. Under the retail inventory method, valuing inventory at the lower of cost or market is achieved as markdowns are taken or accrued as a reduction of the retail value of inventories. Inherent in the retail inventory method are subjective judgments and estimates, including merchandise mark-on, markups, markdowns, and shrinkage. These judgments and estimates, coupled with the fact that the retail inventory method is an averaging process, could produce a range of cost figures. To reduce the risk of inaccuracy and to ensure consistent presentation, the Company employs the retail inventory method in multiple subclasses of inventory with similar gross margins, and analyzes markdown requirements at the stock number level based on factors such as inventory turn, average selling price, and inventory age. In addition, the Company accrues markdowns as necessary. These additional markdown accruals reflect all of the above factors as well as current agreements to return products to vendors and vendor agreements to provide markdown support. In addition to markdown allowances, the Company maintains reserves for shrinkage and damaged goods based on historical rates. Inherent in the analysis of both wholesale and retail inventory valuation are subjective judgments about current market conditions, fashion trends, and overall economic conditions. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these factors may result in an overstatement or understatement of inventory value. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company periodically assesses the realizability of its long-lived assets, other than goodwill, and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying amount. Inherent in the analysis of impairment are subjective judgments about future cash flows. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these judgments may result in an overstatement or understatement of the value of long-lived assets. See also Notes 3 and 5. As required under ASC 350, the Company annually assesses its goodwill and indefinite lived trade names for impairment and on an interim basis if indicators of impairment are present. The Company’s annual assessment date of goodwill and indefinite lived trade names is the first day of the fourth quarter. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company has the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired. If after such assessment the Company concludes that the asset is not impaired, no further action is required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to determine the fair value of the asset using a quantitative impairment test. The quantitative impairment test for goodwill compares the fair value of each reporting unit with the carrying value of the business unit with which the goodwill is associated. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit, an impairment charge would be recorded for the amount, if any, in which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The Company estimates fair value using the best information available, and computes the fair value derived by an income approach utilizing discounted cash flow projections. The income approach uses a projection of a reporting unit’s estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions. A key assumption in the Company’s fair value estimate is the weighted average cost of capital utilized for discounting its cash flow projections in its income approach. The projection uses management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in sales, costs, estimates of future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures. Other significant estimates and assumptions include terminal value growth rates, future estimates of capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. See also Note 2. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Environmental and Other Contingencies The Company is subject to certain loss contingencies related to environmental proceedings and other legal matters. The Company has made pretax accruals for certain of these contingencies, including approximately $0.7 million in Fiscal 2019, $0.6 million in Fiscal 2018 and $0.6 million in Fiscal 2017. These charges are included in (loss) earnings from discontinued operations, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations because they relate to former facilities operated by the Company. The Company monitors these matters on an ongoing basis and, on a quarterly basis, management reviews the Company’s accruals, adjusting provisions as management deems necessary in view of changes in available information. Changes in estimates of liability are reported in the periods when they occur. Consequently, management believes that its accrued liability in relation to each proceeding is a best estimate of probable loss connected to the proceeding, or in cases in which no best estimate is possible, the minimum amount in the range of estimated losses, based upon its analysis of the facts and circumstances as of the close of the most recent fiscal quarter. However, because of uncertainties and risks inherent in litigation generally and in environmental proceedings in particular, there can be no assurance that future developments will not require additional provisions, that some or all liabilities will be adequate or that the amounts of any such additional provisions or any such inadequacy will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations. See also Notes 3 and 13. Revenue Recognition On February 4, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective approach for all contracts not completed as of the adoption date. Financial results for reporting periods beginning after February 3, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 606, while prior periods will continue to be reported in accordance with the Company's pre-adoption accounting policies and therefore have not been adjusted to conform to ASC 606. The primary impact of adopting Topic 606 relates to the timing of revenue recognition for gift card breakage and the timing of recognizing expense for direct-mail advertising costs. Gift card breakage prior to adoption was recognized at the point gift card redemption was deemed remote. Upon adoption, the Company now recognizes gift card breakage over time in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer. Prior to adopting ASC 606, the Company capitalized direct-response advertising costs and expensed them over the period of benefit. Under ASC 606, the Company is recognizing these costs as expense when incurred. Additionally, the adoption of ASC 606 resulted in the Company presenting the asset for the carrying amount of product to be returned within prepaids and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior to adopting ASC 606, the value of product expected to be returned was presented as a component of inventories on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 4, 2018 for the adoption of ASC 606 were as follows (in thousands): Balance at Adjustments Balance at February 3, 2018 due to ASC 606 February 4, 2018 Assets Current assets: Prepaids and other current assets $ 33,614 $ 2,275 $ 35,889 Inventories 388,410 (4,526 ) 383,884 Deferred income taxes 25,077 (1,568 ) 23,509 Liabilities and Equity Current liabilities: Other accrued liabilities 50,523 (3,332 ) 47,191 Current liabilities - discontinued operations 41,242 (4,900 ) 36,342 Equity Retained Earnings 603,902 4,413 608,315 In accordance with the requirements of ASC 606, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the twelve months ended February 2, 2019 and Consolidated Balance Sheets as of February 2, 2019 were as follows (in thousands, except per share data): February 2, 2019 As Reported Balances without the adoption of ASC 606 Effect of Change Higher/(Lower) Inventories $ 366,667 $ 369,906 $ (3,239 ) Prepaids and other current assets 64,634 64,139 495 Total current assets 731,046 733,790 (2,744 ) Deferred income taxes 21,335 21,785 (450 ) Total Assets 1,181,081 1,184,275 (3,194 ) Other accrued liabilities 45,313 48,798 (3,485 ) Total current liabilities 276,229 279,714 (3,485 ) Total liabilities 443,530 447,015 (3,485 ) Retained earnings 508,555 508,242 313 Accumulated other comprehensive loss (37,936 ) (37,914 ) (22 ) Total equity 737,551 737,260 291 Total Liabilities and Equity 1,181,081 1,184,275 (3,194 ) Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Fiscal 2019 As Reported Balances without the adoption of ASC 606 Effect of Change Higher/(Lower) Net sales $ 2,188,553 $ 2,188,398 $ 155 Selling and administrative expenses 962,076 961,581 495 Earnings from operations 81,817 82,157 (340 ) Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes 78,259 78,599 (340 ) Income tax expense 27,035 27,127 (92 ) Earnings from continuing operations 51,224 51,472 (248 ) Loss from discontinued operations (103,154 ) (99,302 ) (3,852 ) Net earnings (51,930 ) (47,830 ) (4,100 ) Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations $ 2.63 $ 2.64 $ (0.01 ) In accordance with ASC 606, revenue shall be recognized upon satisfaction of all contractual performance obligations and transfer of control to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for corresponding goods. The majority of the Company's sales are single performance obligation arrangements for retail sale transactions for which the transaction price is equivalent to the stated price of the product, net of any stated discounts applicable at a point in time. Each sales transaction results in an implicit contract with the customer to deliver a product at the point of sale. Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, is net of estimated returns, and excludes sales and value added taxes. Revenue from catalog and internet sales is recognized at estimated time of delivery to the customer, is net of estimated returns, and excludes sales and value added taxes. Wholesale revenue is recorded net of estimated returns and allowances for markdowns, damages and miscellaneous claims when the related goods have been shipped and legal title has passed to the customer. Actual amounts of markdowns have not differed materially from estimates. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in net sales. The Company elected the practical expedient within ASC 606 related to taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority, which allows for the exclusion of sales and value added tax from transaction price. A provision for estimated returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. Estimated returns are based on historical returns and claims. Actual returns and claims in any future period may differ from historical experience. Revenue from gift cards is deferred and recognized upon the redemption of the cards. These cards have no expiration date. Income from unredeemed cards is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations within net sales in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the customer in future periods. The Company performs an evaluation of historical redemption patterns from the date of original issuance to estimate future period redemption activity. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued The Consolidated Balance Sheets include an accrued liability for gift cards of $5.1 million and $8.4 million at February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, respectively. Gift card breakage recognized as revenue was $0.8 million , $0.4 million and $0.6 million for Fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. During Fiscal 2019, the Company recognized $3.6 million of gift card redemptions and gift card breakage revenue that were included in the gift card liability as of February 3, 2018. Income Taxes As part of the process of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the tax jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax obligations together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of certain items for tax and accounting purposes, such as depreciation of property and equipment and valuation of inventories. These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company then assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income or other sources. Actual results could differ from this assessment if adequate taxable income is not generated in future periods. To the extent the Company believes that recovery of an asset is at risk, valuation allowances are established. To the extent valuation allowances are established or increased in a period, the Company includes an expense within the tax provision in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These deferred tax valuation allowances may be released in future years when management considers that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. In making such a determination, management will need to periodically evaluate whether or not all available evidence, such as future taxable income and reversal of temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and recent results of operations, provides sufficient positive evidence to offset any potential negative evidence that may exist at such time. In the event the deferred tax valuation allowance is released, the Company would record an income tax benefit for a portion or all of the deferred tax valuation allowance released. At February 2, 2019, the Company had a deferred tax valuation allowance of $20.4 million . Income tax reserves for uncertain tax positions are determined using the methodology required by the Income Tax Topic of the Codification. This methodology requires companies to assess each income tax position taken using a two step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained, based upon the technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded for the tax position equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the respective tax position. Uncertain tax positions require determinations and estimated liabilities to be made based on provisions of the tax law which may be subject to change or varying interpretation. If the Company’s determinations and estimates prove to be inaccurate, the resulting adjustments could be material to its future financial results. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Postretirement Benefits Plan Accounting Full-time employees who had at least 1000 hours of service in calendar year 2004, except employees in the Schuh Group segment, are covered by a defined benefit pension plan. The Company froze the defined benefit pension plan effective January 1, 2005. The Company also provides certain former employees with limited medical and life insurance benefits. The Company funds at least the minimum amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. As required by the Compensation – Retirement Benefits Topic of the Codification, the Company is required to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability, respectively, in their Consolidated Balance Sheets and to recognize changes in that funded status in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, in the year in which the changes occur. The Company recognizes pension expense on an accrual basis over employees’ approximate service periods. The calculation of pension expense and the corresponding liability requires the use of a number of critical assumptions, including the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and the assumed discount rate, as well as the recognition of actuarial gains and losses. Changes in these assumptions can result in different expense and liability amounts, and future actual experience can differ from these assumptions. The Company utilizes a calculated value of assets, which is an averaging method that recognizes changes in the fair values of assets over a period of five years. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require that the Company recognize a portion of these losses when they exceed a calculated threshold. These losses might be recognized as a component of pension expense in future years and would be amortized over the average future service of employees, which is currently approximately 9 years. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company had total available cash and cash equivalents of $167.4 million and $39.9 million as of February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, respectively, of which approximately $20.8 million and $21.2 million was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries as of February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, respectively. The Company's strategic plan does not require the repatriation of foreign cash in order to fund its operations in the U.S., and it is the Company's current intention to indefinitely reinvest its foreign cash and cash equivalents outside of the U.S. If the Company were to repatriate foreign cash to the U.S., it would be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes in accordance with applicable U.S. tax rules and regulations as a result of the repatriation. There were $127.2 million and $0.0 million of cash equivalents included in cash and cash equivalents at February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, respectively. Cash equivalents are primarily institutional money market funds. The Company's $127.2 million of cash equivalents was invested in institutional money market funds which invest exclusively in highly rated, short-term securities that are issued, guaranteed or collateralized by the U.S. government or by U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities. At February 2, 2019, substantially all of the Company’s domestic cash was invested in institutional money market funds. The majority of payments due from banks for domestic customer credit card Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued transactions process within 24 - 48 hours and are accordingly classified as cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, outstanding checks drawn on zero-balance accounts at certain domestic banks exceeded book cash balances at those banks by approximately $29.6 million and $14.2 million , respectively. These amounts are included in accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Concentration of Credit Risk and Allowances on Accounts Receivable The Company’s footwear wholesale businesses sell primarily to independent retailers and department stores across the United States. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized. Customer credit risk is affected by conditions or occurrences within the economy and the retail industry as well as by customer specific factors. In the footwear wholesale businesses, one customer each accounted for 18% and 9% and three customers each accounted for 7% of the Company’s total trade receivables balance, while no other customer accounted for more than 4% of the Company’s total trade receivables balance as of February 2, 2019. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information, as well as customer specific factors. The Company also establishes allowances for sales returns, customer deductions and co-op advertising based on specific circumstances, historical trends and projected probable outcomes. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over the estimated useful life of related assets. Depreciation and amortization expense are computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and building equipment 20-45 years Computer hardware, software and equipment 3-10 years Furniture and fixtures 10 years Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was approximately $52.1 million , $51.5 million and $49.8 million for Fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Leases Leasehold improvements and properties under capital leases are amortized on the straight-line method over the shorter of their useful lives or their related lease terms and the charge to earnings is included in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain leases include rent increases during the initial lease term. For these leases, the Company recognizes the related rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (which includes any rent holidays and the pre-opening period of construction, renovation, fixturing and merchandise Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued placement) and records the difference between the amounts charged to operations and amounts paid as deferred rent. The Company occasionally receives reimbursements from landlords to be used towards construction of the store the Company intends to lease. Leasehold improvements are recorded at their gross costs including items reimbursed by landlords. The reimbursements are amortized as a reduction of rent expense over the initial lease term. Asset Retirement Obligations An asset retirement obligation represents a legal obligation associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that is incurred upon the acquisition, construction, development, or normal operation of that long-lived asset. The Company’s asset retirement obligations are primarily associated with leasehold improvements that the Company is contractually obligated to remove at the end of a lease to comply with the lease agreement. The Company recognizes asset retirement obligations at the inception of a lease with such conditions if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Asset retirement obligations are recorded in accrued expenses and other accrued liabilities and deferred rent and other long-term liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are subsequently adjusted for changes in estimated asset retirement obligations. The associated estimated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over its useful life. The Consolidated Balance Sheets include asset retirement obligations related to leases of $10.9 million and $9.7 million as of February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018, respectively. Acquisitions Acquisitions are accounted for using the Business Combinations Topic of the Codification. The total purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at acquisition. Goodwill and Other Intangibles As required under ASC 350, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested at least annually for impairment. The Company will update the tests between annual tests if events or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the business unit with which the goodwill is associated below its carrying amount. It is also required that intangible assets with finite lives be amortized over their respective lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Property, Plant and Equipment Topic of the Codification. Intangible assets of the Company with indefinite lives are primarily goodwill and identifiable trademarks acquired in connection with the acquisition of Little Burgundy in December 2015 and Schuh Group Ltd. in June 2011. The Consolidated Balance Sheets include goodwill of $83.2 million for the Schuh Group and $9.8 million for Journeys Group at February 2, 2019, and $89.9 million for the Schuh Group and $10.4 million for Journeys Group at February 3, 2018. The Company tests for impairment of intangible assets with an indefinite life, relying on a number of factors including operating results, Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued business plans, projected future cash flows and observable market data. The impairment test for identifiable assets not subject to amortization consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. In connection with acquisitions, the Company records goodwill on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. This asset is not amortized but is subject to an impairment test at least annually, based on projected future cash flows from the acquired business discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk the Company considers to be inherent in its current business model. The Company performs the impairment test annually at the beginning of its fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the value of the asset might be impaired. During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2019, because the Schuh Group business had continued to perform below the Company's projected operating results, the Company performed impairment testing as of February 2, 2019. The Company found that the result of the impairment test, which valued the business at approximately $10.8 million in excess of its carrying value, indicated no impairment at that time. See Note 2 for additional information. Identifiable intangible assets of the Company with finite lives are trademarks, customer lists, in-place leases and a vendor contract. They are subject to amortization based upon their estimated useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used to evaluate other definite-lived long-lived assets, a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at February 2, 2019 and February 3, 2018 are: In thousands February 2, 2019 February 3, 2018 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value U.S. Revolver Borrowings $ 56,773 $ 56,861 $ 69,372 $ 69,421 UK Term Loans 8,970 9,063 11,419 11,602 UK Revolver Borrowings — — 7,594 7,671 Debt fair values were determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments and would be classified in Level 2 as defined in Note 5. Carrying amounts reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued Cost of Sales For the Company’s retail operations, the cost of sales includes actual product cost, the cost of transportation to the Company’s warehouses from suppliers, the cost of transportation from the Comp |
