Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chromcraft Revington, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Chromcraft Revington manufactures, distributes and sells residential and commercial furniture. Products are sold primarily through furniture dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Company's operations comprise a single business segment and all the Company's long-lived assets are located within the United States. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the related receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Cash Equivalents Cash and short-term, highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash and cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on expected collectability of trade receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the Company's analysis of customer credit-worthiness, historical loss experience and general economic conditions and trends. The Company reviews past due balances and its allowance for doubtful accounts periodically. Any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible are included in the overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all reasonable attempts to collect a receivable have been exhausted, the receivable is written off against the allowance. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Reclassifications The Company has made certain reclassifications to the 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the 2011 presentation. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for tax purposes. The following estimated useful lives are used for financial reporting purposes: buildings and improvements, 15 to 45 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 12 years; and leasehold improvements, 3 to 5 years. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis and when changes in circumstances indicate the possibility that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. If the forecast of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment charge would be recognized to reduce the carrying value of the assets to fair value. If a possible impairment is identified, the asset group's fair value is measured relying primarily on a discounted cash flow methodology. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts 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. A valuation allowance is established based on relevant factors including recent operating results, the likelihood of the utilization of net operating loss tax carryforwards and the ability to generate future taxable income. The Company and its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company is subject to the income tax laws of the United States and the states in which the Company operates. The manner in which these tax laws apply to the taxpayer's facts is sometimes open to interpretation; therefore the Company must make judgments in assessing the likelihood that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. A tax position is recognized only when, based on management's judgment regarding the application of income tax laws, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. The amount of benefit recognized for financial reporting purposes is based on management's best judgment of the most likely outcome resulting from examination given the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Company adjusts the level of unrecognized tax benefits when there is new information available to assess the likelihood of the outcome. ASC 740 liabilities for uncertain tax positions are included in other long-term liabilities. Interest and penalties for unrecognized tax positions are recorded in income tax expense. Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts receivable, revolving credit facility, accounts payable and deferred compensation approximate their fair values. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of entities comprising Chromcraft Revington's customer base and no single customer accounting for more than 10% of trade accounts receivable. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chromcraft Revington, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Chromcraft Revington manufactures, distributes and sells residential and commercial furniture. Products are sold primarily through furniture dealers throughout the U.S. and Canada. The Company's operations comprise a single business segment and all the Company's long-lived assets are located within the United States.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the related receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable.

Cash Equivalents

Cash and short-term, highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company provides for an allowance for doubtful accounts based on expected collectability of trade receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on the Company's analysis of customer credit-worthiness, historical loss experience and general economic conditions and trends. The Company reviews past due balances and its allowance for doubtful accounts periodically. Any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible are included in the overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all reasonable attempts to collect a receivable have been exhausted, the receivable is written off against the allowance. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

Reclassifications

The Company has made certain reclassifications to the 2010 Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the 2011 presentation.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated on the basis of cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for tax purposes. The following estimated useful lives are used for financial reporting purposes: buildings and improvements, 15 to 45 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 12 years; and leasehold improvements, 3 to 5 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment on a periodic basis and when changes in circumstances indicate the possibility that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. If the forecast of undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment charge would be recognized to reduce the carrying value of the assets to fair value. If a possible impairment is identified, the asset group's fair value is measured relying primarily on a discounted cash flow methodology.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts 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. A valuation allowance is established based on relevant factors including recent operating results, the likelihood of the utilization of net operating loss tax carryforwards and the ability to generate future taxable income.

The Company and its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company is subject to the income tax laws of the United States and the states in which the Company operates. The manner in which these tax laws apply to the taxpayer's facts is sometimes open to interpretation; therefore the Company must make judgments in assessing the likelihood that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. A tax position is recognized only when, based on management's judgment regarding the application of income tax laws, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. The amount of benefit recognized for financial reporting purposes is based on management's best judgment of the most likely outcome resulting from examination given the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Company adjusts the level of unrecognized tax benefits when there is new information available to assess the likelihood of the outcome. ASC 740 liabilities for uncertain tax positions are included in other long-term liabilities. Interest and penalties for unrecognized tax positions are recorded in income tax expense.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for accounts receivable, revolving credit facility, accounts payable and deferred compensation approximate their fair values. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to the large number of entities comprising Chromcraft Revington's customer base and no single customer accounting for more than 10% of trade accounts receivable.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
