Recently Adopted Accounting Updates

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09) and has modified the standard thereafter. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 effective February 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method to apply this guidance to all open contracts at the date of initial application.  The results of applying Topic 606 were insignificant and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business process, controls or systems.

The Company manufactures, markets and distributes a wide variety of school and office furniture to wholesalers, distributors, educational institutions and governmental entities. Revenue is recorded for promised goods or services when control is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Contractual Arrangements with Customers

The Company's sales generally involve a single performance obligation to deliver goods pursuant to customer purchase orders.  Prices for our products are based on published price lists and customer agreements. The Company has determined that the performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time when the Company completes delivery per the customer contract. The majority of sales are free on board (FOB) destination where the destination is specified per the customer contract and may include delivering the furniture into the classroom, school site or warehouse. Sales of furniture that are sold FOB factory are typically made to resellers of our product who in turn provide logistics to the ultimate customer. Once a product has been delivered per the shipping terms, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. The Company considers control to have transferred upon shipment or delivery in accordance with shipping terms because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, the Company has transferred physical possession of the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes and estimated returns and allowances. The Company offers sales incentives and discounts through various regional and national programs to our customers. These programs include product rebates, product returns allowances and trade promotions. Variable consideration for these programs is estimated in the transaction price at contract inception based on current sales levels and historical experience using the expected value method, subject to constraint.

The Company generates revenue primarily by manufacturing and distributing products through resellers and direct-to-customers. Control transfers to both resellers and direct customers at a point in time when the delivery process is complete as determined by the corresponding shipping terms. Therefore, we do not consider them to be meaningfully different revenue streams given similarities in the nature of the products, performance obligation and distribution processes. Sales are predominately in the United States and to a similar class of customer. We do not manage or evaluate the business based on product line or any other discernable category.

For product produced by and sourced from third parties, management has determined that it is the principal in all cases, since it (i) bears primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to the customer; (ii) bears inventory risk before and/or after the good or service is transferred to the customer; and (iii) has discretion in establishing the price for the sale of good or service to the customer.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Payment terms are established on the Company’s pre-established credit requirements based upon an evaluation of customers’ credit quality. Most customers obtain payment terms between 1-30 days and an asset is recognized for the related accounts receivable.

Contract liabilities are recognized for contracts where payment has been received in advance of delivery. The contract liability balance can vary significantly depending on the timing of when an order is placed and when shipment or delivery occurs. As of October 31, 2018, other than accounts receivable, the Company had no material contract assets, contract liabilities or deferred contract costs recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Costs of fulfilling customers’ purchase orders, such as shipping, handling and delivery, which occur prior to the transfer of control, are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense when incurred.

Practical Expedients & Optional Exemptions

Significant Financing Component - as we expect the period between when we transfer control of the promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient for significant financing components.

Remaining Performance Obligations - due to the short-term duration of the Company’s contracts with customers and fulfillment of performance obligations, the Company has elected not to disclose the information regarding the remaining performance obligations as of the end of each reporting period or when the Company expects to recognize this revenue.

Cost to Obtain a Customer - we pay certain costs to obtain a customer contract such as commissions. As our customer contracts have a contractual term of one year or less, we have elected to apply the practical expedient and expense these costs in selling, general and administrative expense as incurred, which is consistent with our historical practice.

Recently Issued Accounting Updates
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"). The new standard requires lessees to recognize most leases, including operating leases, on balance sheet via a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Changes to the lessee accounting model may change key balance sheet measures and ratios, potentially effecting analyst expectations and compliance with financial covenants. The new standard becomes effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018 and required a modified retrospective transition approach. However, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, allowing entities the ability to elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to Topic 842, as was previously required under the modified retrospective transition approach. While still evaluating the effect, the standard will have on consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, the Company has determined that the primary impact will be to recognize on the balance sheet all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months and that we will elect not to recast the comparative periods presented as allowed under ASU No. 2018-11. It is expected that this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in recognizing the right-of-use asset and related lease liability.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension plans. ASU No. 2018-14 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this update on its notes to financial statements.

Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
