Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2 . SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ● Management estimates and reporting The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Assets and liabilities with reported amounts based on significant estimates include inventory (slow-moving), property and equipment (useful lives, impairment), goodwill, accrued liabilities (expected sales returns, gift card breakage) and deferred income tax. ● Principles of consolidation Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tandy Leather Factory, Inc. and its active wholly owned subsidiaries, The Leather Factory, L.P. (a Texas limited partnership), Tandy Leather Company, L.P. (a Texas limited partnership),The Leather Factory of Canada, Ltd. (a Canadian corporation), Tandy Leather Factory UK Limited (a UK corporation), Tandy Leather Factory Australia Pty. Limited (an Australian corporation), and Tandy Leather Factory España, S.L. (a Spanish corporation). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. ● Foreign currency translation and transactions Foreign currency translation adjustments arise from activities of our foreign subsidiaries. Results of operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates during the period, while assets and liabilities are translated using period-end exchange rates. Foreign currency translation adjustments of assets and liabilities are recorded in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are reported in the statements of income under the caption “Other (Income) Expense”, net, for all periods presented. We recognized foreign currency transaction gains of $28,000, $30,000, $19,000, 2018, 2017, 2016, ● Revenue recognition Our revenue is earned from sales of merchandise and generally occur via two 1 2 Prior to November 2018, November 2018, 60 December 31, 2018, $184,000 $111,000 Historically, the sale of gift cards has not January 1, 2018, January 1, 2018, 606, 606" $168,311 January 1, 2018 one December 31, 2018, $195,901. ● Disaggregated r evenue In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by our major customer groups for the years ended December 31: 2018 2017 2016 RETAIL (end users, consumers, individuals) 61% 59% 56% NON-RETAIL (hospitals, organizations, distributors, and businesses) 39% 41% 44% 100% 100% 100% For 2018, 2017 2016, 96%, 95%, 95%, 11 ● Discounts We maintain four not ● Operating e xpense Operating expenses include all selling, general and administrative costs, including wages and benefits, rent and occupancy costs, depreciation, advertising, store operating expenses, outbound freight charges (to ship merchandise to customers), and corporate office costs. ● Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three ten seven fifteen five forty ● Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost ( first first We regularly review all inventory items to determine if there are damaged goods (e.g. for leather, excessive scars or damage from UV light), to determine what items should be eliminated from the product line (e.g. item is slow moving, supplier is unable provide acceptable quality or quantity, and to maintain freshness in the product line) and to ensure that all necessary pricing actions are taken to adequately value our inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value by recording permanent markdowns on our on-hand inventory. Since the determination of net realizable value of inventory involves both estimation and judgment with regard to market values and reasonable costs to sell, differences in these estimates could result in ultimate valuations that differ from the recorded asset. The majority of inventory purchases and commitments are made in U.S. dollars in order to limit the Company’s exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Goods shipped to us are recorded as inventory owned by us when the risk of loss shifts to us from the supplier. Inventory is physically counted at substantially all locations at least two four ● Impairment of long-lived assets We evaluate long-lived assets for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not December 31, 2018, $285,500, four no 2017 2016. ● Earnings per share Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes, to the extent inclusion of such shares would be dilutive to earnings per share, the effect of outstanding options and warrants, computed using the treasury stock method. 201 8 201 7 201 6 BASIC Net income $ 1,963,828 $ 4,451,751 $ 6,402,259 Weighted average common shares outstanding 9,185,203 9,242,092 9,301,867 Earnings per share – basic $ 0.21 $ 0.48 $ 0.69 DILUTED Net income $ 1,963,828 $ 4,451,751 $ 6,402,259 Weighted average common shares outstanding 9,185,203 9,242,092 9,301,867 Effect of restricted stock awards and assumed exercise of stock options 459 14,718 19,691 Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution 9,185,662 9,256,810 9,321,558 Earnings per share - diluted $ 0.21 $ 0.48 $ 0.69 Outstanding options and restricted stock awards excluded as anti-dilutive 657,717 17,632 31,477 For additional disclosures regarding the restricted stock awards and the employee stock options, see Note 10. 12,779, 19,169 90,085 December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016, ● Goodwill and other intangibles Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is required to be evaluated for impairment on an annual basis, absent indicators of impairment during the interim. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires exercise of judgment, including the estimation of future cash flows, determination of appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. Goodwill is not December 31 December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016 no The only change in our goodwill for 2018 2017 $8,184 $6,748, Our intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following: As of December 31, 201 8 Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Trademarks, Copyrights $ 554,369 $ 546,702 $ 7,667 Non-Compete Agreements 175,316 166,483 8,833 $ 729,685 $ 713,185 $ 16,500 As of December 31, 201 7 Gross Accumulated Amortization Net Trademarks, Copyrights $ 554,369 $ 545,897 $ 8,472 Non-Compete Agreements 175,316 164,566 10,750 $ 729,685 $ 710,463 $ 19,222 Amortization of intangible assets (excluding goodwill) of $2,722 2018, $1,618 2017, $6,442 2016 15 $3,000 five ● Fair value of financial i nstruments We measure fair value as an exit price, which is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As a basis for considering such assumptions, accounting standards establish a three Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 no Classification of the financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our principal financial instruments held consist of certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. The carrying value of certificates of deposit, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of the accounts. The terms of the long-term debt are considered reasonable for this type of financing; therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. ● Income taxes We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the amount of taxes currently payable or refundable is accrued, and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between the tax basis and the financial reporting basis of our assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect in the years when those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes from a change in tax rate is recognized through continuing operations in the period that includes the enactment date of the change. Changes in tax laws and rates could affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may not not We recognize tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions and adjust these liabilities when our judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not may We may may ● Share-based compensation We have one March 2017. six no 2015 not The Company’s stock-based compensation relates to restricted stock awards. Accounting guidance requires measurement and recognition of compensation expense at an amount equal to the grant date fair value. Compensation expense is recognized for service-based restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis or ratably over the requisite service period, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. The time-based awards typically vest ratably over the requisite service period provided that the participant is employed on the vesting date. The performance-based shares vest, if at all, upon the Company satisfying certain performance targets. The Company records compensation expense for these awards with a performance condition when it is probable that the condition will be achieved. The compensation expense ultimately recognized, if any, related to these performance-based awards will equal the grant date fair value for the number of shares for which the performance condition has been satisfied. ● Comprehensive income Comprehensive income includes net income and certain other items that are recorded directly to Stockholders’ Equity. The Company’s only source of other comprehensive income is foreign currency translation adjustments. ● Shipping and handling costs Costs to ship products from our stores to our customers are included in operating expenses on the statements of income. These costs totaled approximately $1,818,000, $1,965,000, $1,982,000 December 31, 2018, 2017, 2016, ● Advertising Advertising costs include the cost of print, digital, direct mail, community events, trade shows, and our ecommerce platform. With the exception of catalog costs, advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Catalog costs are capitalized and expensed over the estimated useful life of the particular catalog in question, which is typically twelve $239,000 $203,000 December 31, 2018 2017, $3,889,000 2018; $4,956,000 2017; $4,759,000 2016. ● Cash flows presentation For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three ● Revisions The Company revised the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2017 2016 $853,822 $181,891 December 31, 2017 2016, not not |
