Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Business Virco Mfg. Corporation (the “Company”), which operates in one business segment, is engaged in the design, production and distribution of quality furniture for the commercial and education markets. Over 69 years of manufacturing operations have resulted in a wide product assortment. Major products include mobile tables, mobile storage equipment, desks, computer furniture, chairs, activity tables, folding chairs and folding tables. The Company manufactures its products in Torrance, California, and Conway, Arkansas, for sale primarily in the United States. The Company operates in a seasonal business and requires significant amounts of working capital under its credit facility to fund acquisitions of inventory and finance receivables during the summer delivery season. Restrictions imposed by the terms of the Company’s credit facility may limit the Company’s operating and financial flexibility (see Note 3). Reclassification Certain amounts in the prior period statement of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Virco Mfg. Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Management Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities - and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities - at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, valuation of inventory; deferred tax assets and liabilities; useful lives of property, plant and equipment; liabilities under pension, warranty, self-insurance and environmental claims; and the accounts receivable allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Fiscal Year End Fiscal years 2019 and 2018 refer to the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Sales to the Company’s recurring customers are generally made on open account with terms consistent with the industry. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and payment history. Past due accounts are determined based on how recently payments have been made in relation to the terms granted. Amounts are written off against the allowance in the period that the Company determines that the receivable is not collectable. The Company purchases insurance on receivables from certain commercial customers to minimize the Company’s credit risk. The Company does not typically obtain collateral to secure credit risk. Customers with inadequate credit are required to provide cash in advance or letters of credit. The Company does not assess interest on receivable balances. A substantial percentage of the Company’s receivables come from low-risk government entities. No customer exceeded 10% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018. Foreign net sales were approximately 6.7% and 6.3% of the Company’s net sales for fiscal years 2019 and 2018, respectively. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable at January 31, 2019 or 2018. Because of the short time between shipment and collection, the net carrying value of receivables approximates the fair value for these assets. Cash Cash consists of cash on hand, and the Company has no cash equivalents. Outstanding checks, representing a book overdraft, are classified in accounts payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and in operating activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. Fair Values of Financial Instruments The fair values of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified in one of the three following categories, which are described below: Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market. Level 2 — Valuations based on quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently or whose values are based on quoted prices of instruments with similar attributes in active markets. Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and involve management judgment and our own assumptions about market participants and pricing. Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include assets associated with the Virco Employees Retirement Plan (see Note 4). Inventories Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) and includes material, labor and factory overhead. The Company maintains valuation allowances to write off estimated slow moving and obsolete inventory to reflect the difference between the lower of cost of inventory and the net realizable value. Allowances for slow moving and obsolete inventory are determined through a physical inspection of the product in connection with a physical inventory, a review of slow-moving product and consideration of active marketing programs. The market for education furniture is traditionally driven by value, not style and the Company has not typically incurred significant obsolescence expenses. If market conditions are less favorable than those anticipated by management, additional allowances may be required. Due to reductions in sales volume in the past years, the Company’s manufacturing facilities are operating at reduced levels of capacity. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized inventory valuation. The following table presents an updated breakdown of the Company’s net inventory (in thousands) as of January 31:
|  | 2019 |  | 2018
Finished goods |  | $ | 15,908 |  |  | $ | 13,054 |
Work In Process |  | 18,820 |  |  | 16,627 |
Raw materials |  | 12,561 |  |  | 12,376 |
Inventories, net |  | $ | 47,289 |  |  | $ | 42,057 |
Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Land improvements | 5 to 25 years
Buildings and building improvements | 5 to 40 years
Machinery and equipment | 3 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements | shorter of lease or useful life
The Company capitalizes the cost of betterments that extend the life of an asset. Repairs and maintenance that do not extend the life of an asset are expensed as incurred. Repair and maintenance expense was $2,145,000 and $1,518,000 for fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Property, plant and equipment purchased during the year that remains unpaid as of January 31, 2019 was $593,000. The Company has established asset retirement obligations related to leased manufacturing facilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. Accrued asset retirement obligations are recorded at net present value and discounted over the life of the lease. Asset retirement obligations, included in other non-current liabilities were $179,000 and $170,000 at January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
| January 31,

Balance at beginning of period | $ | 170,000 |  |  | $ | 590,000 |
Decrease in obligation | — |  |  | (425,000 | )
Accretion expense | 9,000 |  |  | 5,000 |
Balance at end of period | $ | 179,000 |  |  | $ | 170,000 |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets An impairment loss is recognized in the event facts and circumstances indicate the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, and an estimate of future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment is recorded based on the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over the fair value. Generally, fair value represents the Company’s expected future cash flows from the use of an asset or group of assets, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks involved. There were no impairments for fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018. Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock award grants. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:
|  | January 31,
In thousands, except per share data |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Numerator |  |  |  |
Net loss |  | $ | (1,614 | ) |  | $ | (3,209 | )
Denominator |  |  |  |
Weighted-average shares — basic |  | 15,421 |  |  | 15,244 |
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents from equity incentive plans |  | — |  |  | — |
Weighted-average shares — diluted (a) |  | 15,421 |  |  | 15,244 |
Net loss per common share |  |  |  |
Basic |  | $ | (0.10 | ) |  | $ | (0.21 | )
Diluted |  | (0.10 | ) |  | (0.21 | )
(a) For fiscal year 2019 and 2018, approximately 149,000 and 147,000 shares of common stock equivalents were excluded in the computation of diluted net income per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive since the Company reported a net loss. Environmental Costs The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations in the various jurisdictions in which it operates that (a) govern operations that may have adverse environmental effects, such as the discharge of materials into the environment, as well as handling, storage, transportation and disposal practices for solid and hazardous wastes, and (b) impose liability for response costs and certain damages resulting from past and current spills, disposals or other releases of hazardous materials. Normal, recurring expenses related to operating the Company's factories in a manner that meets or exceeds environmental laws and regulations are matched to the cost of producing inventory. Despite our efforts to comply with existing laws and regulations, compliance with more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws, may require additional expenditures by us, some of which may be material. We reserve amounts for such matters when expenditures are probable and reasonably estimable. Costs incurred to investigate and remediate environmental waste are expensed, unless the remediation extends the useful life of the assets employed at the site. At January 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had not capitalized any remediation costs and had not recorded any amortization expense in fiscal years 2019 and 2018. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed in the period during which the advertising space is run. Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising costs for the years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018 of $1,134,000 and $974,000, respectively. Prepaid advertising costs reported as a prepaid asset on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2019 and 2018, were $254,000 and $355,000, respectively. Product Warranty Expense The Company provides a product warranty on most products. The standard warranty offered on products sold through January 31, 2013 is ten years. Effective February 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016, the Company modified its warranty to a limited lifetime warranty. Effective January 1, 2017, the Company modified the warranty offered to provide specific warranty periods by product component, with no warranty period longer than ten years. The Company generally provides that customers can return a defective product during the specified warranty period following purchase in exchange for a replacement product or the repair of the product by the Company at no charge to the customer. The Company determines whether replacement or repair is appropriate in each circumstance. The Company uses historic data to estimate appropriate levels of warranty reserves. Because product mix, production methods and raw material sources change over time, historic data may not always provide precise estimates for future warranty expense. The Company recorded warranty reserves of $700,000 and $925,000 as of January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The current portion of the warranty reserve was $325,000 and $400,000 as of January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Self-Insurance In 2019 and 2018, the Company was self-insured for product and general liability losses up to $250,000 per occurrence, workers’ compensation losses up to $250,000 per occurrence, and auto liability up to $50,000 per occurrence. Actuaries assist the Company in determining its liability for the self-insured component of claims, which have been discounted to their net present value utilizing a discount rate of 4.00% in 2019 and 2.00% in 2018. Stock-Based Compensation Plans The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost for shares that are expected to vest, on a straight-line basis, over the requisite service period of the award. Virco issued a 10% stock dividend or 3/2 stock split every year beginning in 1983 through 2003. Although the stock dividend had no cash consequences to the Company, the accounting methodology required for 10% dividends has affected the equity section of the balance sheet. When the Company records a 10% stock dividend, 10% of the market capitalization of the Company on the date of the declaration is reclassified from retained earnings to additional paid-in capital. During the period from 1983 through 2003, the cumulative effect of the stock dividends has been to reclassify over $122 million from retained earnings to additional paid-in capital. The equity section of the balance sheet on January 31, 2019 reflects additional paid-in capital of approximately $118 million and accumulated deficit of approximately $52 million. Other than the losses incurred during 2004-2006, 2011-2014 and 2018-2019, the accumulated deficit is a result of the accounting reclassification and is not the result of accumulated losses. Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income, Net of Tax The following table summarizes the changes in accumulated balances of other comprehensive (loss) income for the years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018:
|  | January 31,
(in thousands) |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Balance as of beginning of year |  | $ | (9,259 | ) |  | $ | (11,394 | )
Other comprehensive (loss) income before reclassifications |  | (1,116 | ) |  | 1,180 |
Amounts reclassified from AOCI |  | 1,333 |  |  | 955 |
Net current period other comprehensive income |  | 217 |  |  | 2,135 |
Balance as of end of year |  | $ | (9,042 | ) |  | $ | (9,259 | )
The reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income of $1,333,000 and $955,000 for the years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to amortization of actuarial losses and settlements. Revenue Recognition The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) 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 ASC 606 were insignificant and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, business processes, 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 January 31, 2019, 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. For fiscal year ended January 31, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognized when title passes under its various shipping terms, when classroom delivery services are complete and when collectability is reasonably assured. The Company reports sales net of sales returns and allowances, sales taxes imposed by various government authorities, cash discounts and rebate to customers. In most instances, the Company sells furniture on bids and contracts, which may include multiple elements. For sales that include freight to the customer, many sales are delivered on the same day shipped, with an average delivery being in route for 1 to 3 days. Classroom delivery, which involves carrying the furniture to the classroom and setting the desks and chairs in place, typically occurs the day the furniture is delivered. In accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition - Multiple-Element Arrangements, revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are generally accounted for by the Company on a combined unit of accounting as the furniture delivery and classroom delivery are generally provided at the same time. We recognize the consideration for the combined unit of accounting once the final item has been delivered and installed. Revenue includes freight charged to customers; related costs are recorded in selling and administrative expense. Rebates, discounts and other marketing program expenses directly related to the sale are recorded as a reduction to net sales. Delivery Costs For the fiscal years ended January 31, 2019 and 2018, shipping and classroom delivery costs of approximately $22,150,000, $19,299,000, respectively, were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accounting for Income Taxes The Company recognizes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is determined to be more likely than not that the asset will not be realized.
