Basis of Presentation | The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Barnes & Noble, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Barnes & Noble or the Company). In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly its consolidated financial position as of July 28, 2018 and the results of its operations for the 13 weeks and its cash flows for the 13 weeks then ended. These consolidated financial statements are condensed and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018 are not indicative of the results expected for the 52 weeks ending April 27, 2019 (fiscal 2019). |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 1. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Updates (ASU) 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments 2016-15). 2016-15 In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from the sale of product in its retail stores, which will continue to be recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer. The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in the following changes: 1) presentation of estimated merchandise returns as both an asset, equal to the inventory value net of processing costs, and a corresponding return liability, compared to the previous practice of recording an estimated net return liability; and 2) the timing of revenue recognition for gift card breakage. The Company estimates the portion of the gift card liability for which the likelihood of redemption is remote based upon the Company’s historical redemption patterns. Prior to adoption of Topic 606, the Company recorded this amount in revenue on a straight-line basis over a 12-month The below tables set forth the adjustments to the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings and consolidated balance sheet as a result of the newly adopted revenue recognition standard. 13 Weeks Ended July 28, 2018 (In thousands) As Balances Impact of Sales $ 794,776 795,182 (406 ) Cost of sales 566,704 566,704 — Gross profit $ 228,072 228,478 (406 ) July 28, 2018 (In thousands) As Balances Impact of Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 76,030 74,466 1,564 Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity Accrued liabilities $ 256,588 255,024 1,564 Gift card liabilities $ 223,950 314,097 (90,147 ) Deferred taxes $ 72,147 52,044 20,103 Retained earnings $ (174,086 ) (244,130 ) 70,044 The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 606 to have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements on a prospective basis. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) 2016-02), 2016-02 right-of-use 2016-02 2016-02 |

Revenue Recognition | 3. Revenue Recognition On April 29, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective approach for all contracts not completed as of the adoption date. Financial results for reporting periods beginning after April 28, 2018 are presented in accordance with Topic 606, while prior periods will continue to be reported in accordance with our pre-adoption The primary impact of adopting Topic 606 relates to the timing of revenue recognition for gift card breakage. The Company estimates the portion of the gift card liability for which the likelihood of redemption is remote based upon the Company’s historical redemption patterns. Prior to adoption of Topic 606, the Company recorded this amount in revenue on a straight-line basis over a 12-month In accordance with Topic 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 or services. Substantially all 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 or service, 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 or service at the point of sale. Revenue from retail sales is recognized at the point of sale, net of sales tax and estimated future returns. Revenue from eCommerce sales is recognized upon estimated delivery and receipt of the shipment by the Company’s customers. Freight costs are included within the Company’s cost of sales and occupancy. A provision for anticipated merchandise returns is provided through a reduction of sales and cost of goods sold in the period that the related sales are recorded. All of the Company’s sales are recognized as revenue on a “net” basis, including sales in connection with any periodic promotions offered to customers. The Company does not treat any promotional offers as expenses. The Company rents physical textbooks. Revenue from the rental of physical textbooks is deferred and recognized over the rental period commencing at point of sale. The Company offers a buyout option to allow the purchase of a rented book at the end of the semester. The Company records the buyout purchase when the customer exercises and pays the buyout option price. In these instances, the Company would accelerate any remaining deferred rental revenue at the point of sale. NOOK acquires the rights to distribute digital content from publishers and distributes the content on www.barnesandnoble.com, NOOK ® The Barnes & Noble Membership Program offers members greater discounts and other benefits for products and services, as well as exclusive offers and promotions via e-mail non-refundable 12-month The following table summarizes disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers by product line: Sales by Product Line 13 weeks ended July 28, July 29, Media (a) 71 % 73 % Digital (b) 3 % 3 % Other (c) 26 % 24 % Total 100 % 100 % (a) Includes tangible books, music, movies, rentals and newsstand.

Net Earnings (Loss) per Share | 6. Net Earnings (Loss) per Share In accordance with ASC 260-10-45, Share-Based Payment Arrangements and Participating Securities and the Two-Class non-forfeitable Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing the net income, adjusted for income allocated to participating securities, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the dilution that would occur if any potentially dilutive instruments were exercised or converted into common shares. The dilutive effect of participating securities is calculated using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method or two-class During periods of net loss, no effect is given to the participating securities because they do not share in the losses of the Company. Due to the net loss during the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017, participating securities in the amounts of 140,840 and 110,386, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of loss per share using the two-class non-participating two-class The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s basic and diluted loss per share calculation: 13 weeks ended July 28, July 29, Numerator for basic loss per share: Net loss $ (17,038 ) (10,778 ) Less allocation of dividends to participating securities (21 ) (11 ) Net loss available to common shareholders $ (17,059 ) (10,789 ) Numerator for diluted loss per share: Net loss available to common shareholders $ (17,059 ) (10,789 ) Denominator for basic and diluted loss per share: Basic and diluted weighted average common shares 72,686 72,453 Loss per common share: Basic $ (0.23 ) (0.15 ) Diluted $ (0.23 ) (0.15 ) |

During the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018, the Company experienced comparable store sales that were lower than planned. The Company has evaluated whether these decreases would indicate there is a potential impairment of unamortizable intangible assets as of July 28, 2018. The Company has considered, among other factors, the Company’s fiscal 2019 forecast and the current retail environment. Based on that evaluation, the Company determined that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value for its unamortizable intangible assets below their carrying value, during the quarter ended July 28, 2018, and an interim impairment test was not necessary as of July 28, 2018. However, the Company’s trade name is at risk of impairment if B&N Retail comparable store sales continue to decline, forecasted sales expectations are not met, store closings accelerate, the assumed long-term discount rate increases, or in general the Company does not achieve its forecasted multi-year strategic plan. All amortizable intangible assets are being amortized over their useful life on a straight-line basis. Aggregate Amortization Expense For the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018 $ 131 For the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2017 $ 200 Estimated Amortization Expense (12 months ending on or about April 30) 2019 $ 376 The carrying amounts of goodwill, which relate to the B&N Retail reporting unit, as of July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 are as follows: Total Balance as of July 29, 2017 $ 207,381 Fiscal 2018 benefit of excess tax amortization (b) (2,176 ) Fiscal 2018 impairment charge (c) (133,612 ) Balance as of July 28, 2018 $ 71,593 (b) The tax basis of goodwill arising from an acquisition during the 52 weeks ended January 29, 2005 exceeded the related basis for financial reporting purposes by approximately $96,576. In accordance with ASC 740-10-30, Accounting for Income Taxes, (c) In fiscal 2018, the Company recognized an impairment of its B&N Retail reporting unit goodwill of $133,612. While the Company has initiated a multi-year strategic plan focused on stabilizing sales, improving productivity and reducing expenses, achievement of its long-term goals requires a significant multi-year transformation. During the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018, the Company experienced comparable store sales and earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization that were lower than planned. The Company has evaluated whether these decreases would indicate there is a potential impairment of goodwill as of July 28, 2018. The Company has considered, among other factors, the Company’s fiscal 2019 forecast and the current retail environment. Based on that evaluation, the Company determined that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value for its reporting units below their carrying value, during the quarter ended July 28, 2018, and an interim impairment test was not necessary as of July 28, 2018. However, the goodwill of the B&N Retail reporting unit is subject to further risk of impairment if B&N Retail comparable store sales continue to decline, the Company’s cost reduction plans do not materialize, store closings accelerate, the assumed long-term discount rate increases, or in general the Company does not achieve its forecasted multi-year strategic plan. |

Income Taxes | 11. Income Taxes The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2,415 on a pre-tax pre-tax The Company’s effective tax rates for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017 differ from the statutory rates due to the impact of permanent items such as meals and entertainment, non-deductible During the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018 and July 29, 2017, the Company recognized tax expense of $580 and $566, respectively, in accordance with ASU 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at July 28, 2018 could decrease by approximately $1,162 within the next twelve months, as a result of settlement of certain tax audits or lapses of statutes of limitations, which could impact the effective tax rate. Effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act New tax legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or Tax Reform, was enacted on December 22, 2017. Certain aspects of the new law, including the federal corporate tax rate change, were recorded in the Company’s financial statements during fiscal year end 2018. Given the significance of the legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), which allows registrants to record provisional amounts during a one year “measurement period” similar to that used when accounting for business combinations. However, the measurement period is deemed to have ended earlier when the registrant has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting. During the measurement period, impacts of the law are expected to be recorded at the time a reasonable estimate for all or a portion of the effects can be made, and provisional amounts can be recognized and adjusted as information becomes available, prepared or analyzed. SAB 118 summarizes a three-step process to be applied at each reporting period to account for and qualitatively disclose: (1) the effects of the change in tax law for which accounting is complete; (2) provisional amounts (or adjustments to provisional amounts) for the effects of the tax law where accounting is not complete, but that a reasonable estimate has been determined; and (3) a reasonable estimate cannot yet be made and therefore taxes are reflected in accordance with law prior to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Items for which a reasonable estimate was determined include the impact of the change in the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% and the changes to the non-deductible non-deductible Other significant provisions that did not have an impact on the fiscal 2018 provision but may impact the Company’s income taxes for future fiscal years include: limitation on the current deductibility of net interest expense in excess of 30% of adjusted taxable income, a limitation of net operating losses generated after fiscal 2018 to 80% of taxable income, and entertainment and other expense deduction limitation. The Company continues to not be subject to any transition tax as there are no untaxed foreign earnings. Valuation Allowance Considerations The Company routinely performs an analysis of its deferred tax assets and considers all evidence both positive and negative to determine realizability of these assets. As a result of the Company’s analysis, $3,894 of previously established valuation allowance against definite lived net operating losses was released through retained earnings as a direct result of the Company’s adoption of Topic 606 during the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018. The Company still maintains a valuation allowance against certain state items and definite lived net operating losses that was recorded in prior periods. |
Fair Values of Financial Instru
Fair Values of Financial Instruments | 3 Months Ended |
Jul. 28, 2018 | |
Fair Values of Financial Instruments | 12. Fair Values of Financial Instruments In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions The Company’s financial instruments include cash, receivables, gift cards, accrued liabilities, accounts payable and its credit facility. The fair values of cash, receivables, gift cards, accrued liabilities and accounts payable approximate carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company believes that its credit facility approximates fair value since interest rates are adjusted to reflect current rates. |
Credit Facility
Credit Facility | 3 Months Ended |
Jul. 28, 2018 | |
Credit Facility | 13. Credit Facility On August 3, 2015, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and swing line lender, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto, under which the lenders committed to provide a five-year asset-backed revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed principal amount of up to $700,000 (Revolving Credit Facility). On September 30, 2016, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to provide for a new “first-in, last-out” Proceeds from the Amended Credit Facility are used for general corporate purposes, including seasonal working capital needs. The Amended Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the inventory, accounts receivable and related assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the Loan Parties), but excluding the equity interests in the Company and its subsidiaries, intellectual property, equipment and certain other property. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility are limited to a specified percentage of eligible collateral. The Company has the option to request an increase in commitments under the Amended Credit Facility of up to $250,000, subject to certain restrictions. The Amended Credit Facility allows the Company to declare and pay up to $70,000 in dividends annually to its stockholders without compliance with any availability or ratio-based limitations. Interest under the Revolving Credit Facility accrues, at the election of the Company, at a LIBOR or alternate base rate, plus, in each case, an applicable interest rate margin between LIBOR plus 1.750% per annum and LIBOR plus 1.250% per annum or between the alternate base rate plus 0.750% per annum and the alternate base rate plus 0.250% per annum based upon the average daily availability under the Revolving Credit Facility for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter. Interest under the FILO Credit Facility accrues, at the election of the Company, at a LIBOR or alternate base rate, plus, in each case, an applicable interest rate margin, which is also determined by reference to the level of excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. Loans under the FILO Credit Facility bear interest at 1.000% per annum more than loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants, which limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, make investments, make restricted payments or specified payments and merge or acquire assets, among other things. In addition, if excess availability under the Amended Credit Facility were to fall below certain specified levels, certain additional covenants (including fixed charge coverage ratio requirements) would be triggered, and the lenders would assume dominion and control over the Loan Parties’ cash. The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, material breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, default on other material indebtedness, customary ERISA events of default, bankruptcy and insolvency, material judgments, invalidity of liens on collateral, change of control or cessation of business. The Amended Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative covenants and representations and warranties. The Company wrote off $275 of deferred financing fees related to the Credit Facility during the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018 and the remaining unamortized deferred financing fees of $3,780 were deferred and are being amortized over the five-year term of the Amended Credit Facility. The Company also incurred $4,370 of fees to secure the Amended Credit Facility, which are being amortized over the five-year term accordingly. |

Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market and privately negotiated transactions from time to time and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The new stock repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Legal Proceedings
Legal Proceedings | 3 Months Ended |
Jul. 28, 2018 | |
Legal Proceedings | 17. Legal Proceedings The Company is involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including actions with respect to contracts, intellectual property, taxation, employment, benefits, securities, personal injuries and other matters. The results of these proceedings in the ordinary course of business are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, developments in its legal matters that could affect the amount of liability that has been previously accrued and makes adjustments as appropriate. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount of a loss or potential loss. The Company may be unable to reasonably estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss for a particular legal contingency for various reasons, including, among others: (i) if the damages sought are indeterminate; (ii) if proceedings are in the early stages; (iii) if there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending proceedings (including motions and appeals); (iv) if there is uncertainty as to the likelihood of settlement and the outcome of any negotiations with respect thereto; (v) if there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) if the proceedings involve a large number of parties; (vii) if relevant law is unsettled or novel or untested legal theories are presented; or (viii) if the proceedings are taking place in jurisdictions where the laws are complex or unclear. In such instances, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the ultimate resolution of such matters, including a possible eventual loss, if any. With respect to the legal matters described below, the Company has determined, based on its current knowledge, that the amount of loss or range of loss that is reasonably possible, including any reasonably possible losses in excess of amounts already accrued, is not reasonably estimable. However, legal matters are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. As such, there can be no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The following is a discussion of the material legal matters involving the Company. PIN Pad Litigation As previously disclosed, the Company discovered that PIN pads in certain of its stores had been tampered with to allow criminal access to card data and PIN numbers on credit and debit cards swiped through the terminals. Following public disclosure of this matter on October 24, 2012, the Company was served with four putative class action complaints (three in federal district court in the Northern District of Illinois and one in the Northern District of California), each of which alleged on behalf of national and other classes of customers who swiped credit and debit cards in Barnes & Noble Retail stores common law claims such as negligence, breach of contract and invasion of privacy, as well as statutory claims such as violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, state data breach notification statutes, and state unfair and deceptive practices statutes. The actions sought various forms of relief including damages, injunctive or equitable relief, multiple or punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and interest. All four cases were transferred and/or assigned to a single judge in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and a single consolidated amended complaint was filed. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint in its entirety, and in September 2013, the Court granted the motion to dismiss without prejudice. The Plaintiffs then filed an amended complaint, and the Company filed a second motion to dismiss. On October 3, 2016, the Court granted the second motion to dismiss, and dismissed the case without prejudice; in doing so, the Court permitted plaintiffs to file a second amended complaint by October 31, 2016. On October 31, 2016, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint, and on January 25, 2017, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint. On June 13, 2017, the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss with prejudice. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. On April 11, 2018, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court’s decision granting the motion to dismiss the case, and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings. The Company filed with the Court of Appeals a petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc; that petition was denied on May 10, 2018. The case is currently pending in the District Court. Cassandra Carag individually and on behalf of others similarly situated v. Barnes & Noble, Inc., Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Inc. and DOES 1 through 100 inclusive On November 27, 2013, former Associate Store Manager Cassandra Carag (Carag) brought suit in Sacramento County Superior Court, asserting claims on behalf of herself and all other hourly (non-exempt) off-the-clock Café Manager Class Actions On September 20, 2016, Kelly Brown filed a complaint against Barnes & Noble in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in which she alleges that she is entitled to unpaid compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Illinois law. Ms. Brown seeks to represent a class of allegedly similarly situated employees who performed the same position (Café Manager) under the FLSA, as well as an Illinois-based class under Illinois law. On November 9, 2016, Ms. Brown filed an amended complaint to add an additional plaintiff named Tiffany Stewart, who is a former Café Manager who also alleges unpaid overtime compensation in violation of New York law and seeks to represent a class of similarly situated New York-based Café Managers under New York law. On May 2, 2017, the Court denied Plaintiffs’ Motion for Conditional Certification, without prejudice. The Plaintiffs filed a renewed motion for Conditional Certification on November 17, 2017, which the Court denied on June 25, 2018. There are currently 23 former Café Managers who have joined the action as opt-in Bernardino v. Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Inc. On June 16, 2017, a putative class action complaint was filed against Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Inc. (B&N Booksellers) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging violations of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act and related New York law. The plaintiff, who seeks to represent a class of subscribers of Facebook, Inc. (Facebook) who purchased DVDs or other video media from the Barnes & Noble website, seeks damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees, among other things, based on her allegation that B&N Booksellers supposedly knowingly disclosed her personally identifiable information to Facebook without her consent when she bought a DVD from Barnes & Noble’s website. On July 10, 2017, the plaintiff moved for a preliminary injunction requiring Barnes & Noble to change the operation of its website, which motion B&N Booksellers opposed. On July 31, 2017, B&N Booksellers moved to compel the case to arbitration, consistent with the terms of use on Barnes & Noble’s website. On August 28, 2017, the court denied the plaintiff’s motion for a preliminary injunction. On January 31, 2018, the court granted B&N Booksellers’ motion to compel arbitration, and the clerk of court closed the case on February 1, 2018. On March 5, 2018, the plaintiff filed an appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit from the district court’s grant of B&N Booksellers’ motion to compel arbitration. Parneros v. Barnes & Noble, Inc. On August 28, 2018, Demos Parneros, the former Chief Executive Officer of Barnes & Noble, Inc., filed a complaint against Barnes & Noble, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiff asserts claims for breach of contract and defamation under New York law. The plaintiff seeks injunctive relief, compensatory damages, and punitive damages, among other things, based on allegations that he did not violate the Company’s policies prior to his employment termination, and that the Company’s press release damaged his reputation. The Court has not yet scheduled any hearings or deadlines. |

The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in the following changes: 1) presentation of estimated merchandise returns as both an asset, equal to the inventory value net of processing costs, and a corresponding return liability, compared to the previous practice of recording an estimated net return liability; and 2) the timing of revenue recognition for gift card breakage. The Company estimates the portion of the gift card liability for which the likelihood of redemption is remote based upon the Company’s historical redemption patterns. Prior to adoption of Topic 606, the Company recorded this amount in revenue on a straight-line basis over a 12-month The below tables set forth the adjustments to the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings and consolidated balance sheet as a result of the newly adopted revenue recognition standard. 13 Weeks Ended July 28, 2018 (In thousands) As Balances Impact of Sales $ 794,776 795,182 (406 ) Cost of sales 566,704 566,704 — Gross profit $ 228,072 228,478 (406 ) July 28, 2018 (In thousands) As Balances Impact of Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 76,030 74,466 1,564 Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity Accrued liabilities $ 256,588 255,024 1,564 Gift card liabilities $ 223,950 314,097 (90,147 ) Deferred taxes $ 72,147 52,044 20,103 Retained earnings $ (174,086 ) (244,130 ) 70,044 The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 606 to have a significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements on a prospective basis. |

During the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018, the Company experienced comparable store sales that were lower than planned. The Company has evaluated whether these decreases would indicate there is a potential impairment of unamortizable intangible assets as of July 28, 2018. The Company has considered, among other factors, the Company’s fiscal 2019 forecast and the current retail environment. Based on that evaluation, the Company determined that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value for its unamortizable intangible assets below their carrying value, during the quarter ended July 28, 2018, and an interim impairment test was not necessary as of July 28, 2018. However, the Company’s trade name is at risk of impairment if B&N Retail comparable store sales continue to decline, forecasted sales expectations are not met, store closings accelerate, the assumed long-term discount rate increases, or in general the Company does not achieve its forecasted multi-year strategic plan. |

In accordance with ASC 740-10-30, Accounting for Income Taxes, (c) In fiscal 2018, the Company recognized an impairment of its B&N Retail reporting unit goodwill of $133,612. While the Company has initiated a multi-year strategic plan focused on stabilizing sales, improving productivity and reducing expenses, achievement of its long-term goals requires a significant multi-year transformation. During the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018, the Company experienced comparable store sales and earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization that were lower than planned. The Company has evaluated whether these decreases would indicate there is a potential impairment of goodwill as of July 28, 2018. The Company has considered, among other factors, the Company’s fiscal 2019 forecast and the current retail environment. Based on that evaluation, the Company determined that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value for its reporting units below their carrying value, during the quarter ended July 28, 2018, and an interim impairment test was not necessary as of July 28, 2018. However, the goodwill of the B&N Retail reporting unit is subject to further risk of impairment if B&N Retail comparable store sales continue to decline, the Company’s cost reduction plans do not materialize, store closings accelerate, the assumed long-term discount rate increases, or in general the Company does not achieve its forecasted multi-year strategic plan. |

[1] | In fiscal 2018, the Company determined that no impairment was necessary on its other unamortizable intangible assets. During the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2018, the Company experienced comparable store sales that were lower than planned. The Company has evaluated whether these decreases would indicate there is a potential impairment of unamortizable intangible assets as of July 28, 2018. The Company has considered, among other factors, the Company's fiscal 2019 forecast and the current retail environment. Based on that evaluation, the Company determined that there have been no events or circumstances which would more likely than not reduce the fair value for its unamortizable intangible assets below their carrying value, during the quarter ended July 28, 2018, and an interim impairment test was not necessary as of July 28, 2018. However, the Company's trade name is at risk of impairment if B&N Retail comparable store sales continue to decline, forecasted sales expectations are not met, store closings accelerate, the assumed long-term discount rate increases, or in general the Company does not achieve its forecasted multi-year strategic plan. |
