SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management estimates and reporting The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires the use of estimates that affect the reported value of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for the Company’s conclusions. The Company continually evaluates the information used to make these estimates as the business and the economic environment changes. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and estimates are subject to change due to modifications in the underlying conditions or assumptions. The policies discussed below require estimates that contain a significant degree of judgement. The use of estimates is pervasive throughout the Consolidated Financial Statements, but the accounting policies and estimates considered most significant are as follows. 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), and Tandy Leather Factory España, S.L. (a Spanish corporation). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Deconsolidation of Foreign Subsidiaries The UK and Australia entities were legally terminated in 2023 and as a result of the termination, we deconsolidated our UK and Australia entities and the impact of the deconsolidation resulted in a $0.5 million loss that is reported as part of “Other, net” on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers investments with a maturity when purchased of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All credit card, debit card and electronic transfer transactions that are processed in less than ninety days including our T-Bills are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Accounts receivable and expected credit losses Our receivables primarily arise from the sale of merchandise to customers that have applied for and been granted credit. Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due, net of an allowance for credit losses. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 days of invoicing. Our accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023 was $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. We estimate expected credit losses based on factors such as the composition of accounts receivable, the age of the accounts, historical bad debt experience, and our evaluation of the financial condition and past collection history of each customer. Management believes that the historical loss information it has compiled is a reasonable base on which to determine expected credit losses for trade receivables held at December 31, 2024, because the composition of the trade receivables at that date is consistent with that used in developing the historical credit-loss percentages (i.e., the similar risk characteristics of its customers and its credit practices have not changed significantly over time). Accordingly, the allowance for expected credit losses at December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023 each totaled less than $0.1 million. 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 are recorded in stockholders’ equity, net of tax. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded foreign currency translation loss of $0.6 million and a gain of $0.4 million, respectively. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded in other, net within the statements of operations and comprehensive income. Revenue recognition Our revenue is earned from sales of merchandise and generally occurs via three methods: (1) at the store counter, (2) shipment of product generally via web sales, and (3) sales of product directly to commercial customers through our commercial account representatives. We recognize revenue when we satisfy the performance obligation of transferring control of product merchandise over to a customer. At the store counter, our performance obligation is met, and revenue is recognized when a sales transaction occurs with a customer. Our performance obligation for 2) and 3) are met when merchandise is shipped to a customer, and revenue is recognized when control passes to the customer. Shipping terms are normally free on board (“FOB”) shipping point and control passes when the merchandise is shipped to the customer. Sales tax and comparable foreign tax is excluded from net sales, while shipping charged to our customers is included in net sales. Net sales is based on the amount of consideration that we expect to receive, reduced by estimates for future merchandise returns. As of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and January 1, 2023, we had received approximately $0.3 million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million in credit card payments that had not shipped as of the end of the year, and this was recorded in deferred revenue under accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Balance Sheet. The sales return allowance included in accrued expense and other liabilities was $0.2 million, $0.5 million, and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and January 1, 2023 respectively. We record a gift card liability for the unfulfilled performance obligation on the date we issue a gift card to a customer. We record revenue and reduce the gift card liability as the customer redeems the gift card. In addition, for gift card breakage, we recognize a proportionate amount for the expected unredeemed gift cards over the expected customer redemption period, which is one year. We include our gift card liability in accrued expenses and other liabilities. On January 1, 2024, the opening balance of the gift card liability was $0.3 million. During 2024, we issued $0.5 million of gift cards, and $0.4 million of gift cards were redeemed and recognized as revenue. At December 31, 2024, our gift card liability balance was $0.3 million. On December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2023, the gift card liability was $0.2 and $0.3 million respectively. Disaggregated revenue In the following table, revenue for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is disaggregated by geographic areas as follows:
(in thousands) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
United States |  | $ | 66,045 |  |  | $ | 67,696 |
Canada |  |  | 7,313 |  |  |  | 7,301 |
Other |  |  | 1,033 |  |  |  | 1,232 |
Net sales |  | $ | 74,391 |  |  | $ | 76,229 |
Geographic sales information is based on the location where the order was fulfilled. Discounts We offer six classes of customer discounts: 1) Retail, 2) Military/First Responder, 3) Business, 4) Commercial, 5) Commercial Pro, and 6) Employees. There are no other classes of discounts and any discounts given will fall into one of these six categories. Such discounts are not deemed to be variable consideration nor convey a material right to these customers since the discounted pricing they receive in a discount class is not incremental to others within the same class and there is no retrospective impact of such discounts. As a result, sales are reported after deduction of discounts at the point of sale. We do not pay slotting fees or make other payments to resellers. Operating expense 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 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 to ten years for equipment and machinery, seven to fifteen years for furniture and fixtures, five years for vehicles, and forty years for buildings and related improvements. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost or net realizable value, and the FIFO layers are maintained at the location level. Finished goods held for sale include the cost of merchandise purchases, the costs to bring the merchandise to our Texas distribution center, warehousing and handling expenditures, and distributing and delivering merchandise to our stores. These costs include depreciation of long-lived assets utilized in acquiring, warehousing and distributing inventory. Assembled inventory including raw materials and work-in-process is valued on a first-in, first-out basis using full absorption accounting which includes material, labor, and other applicable assembly overhead. Carrying values of inventory are analyzed and, to the extent that the cost of inventory exceeds the net realizable value, provisions are made to reduce the carrying amount of the inventory. We regularly review all inventory items to determine if there are (i) damaged goods (e.g., for leather, excessive scars or damage from ultra-violet (“UV”) light), (ii) items that need to be removed from our product line (e.g., slow-moving items, inability of a supplier to provide items of acceptable quality or quantity, and to maintain freshness in the product line) and (iii) pricing actions that need to be taken to adequately value our inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Since the determination of net realizable value of inventory involves both estimation and judgement 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 twice annually in the Texas distribution center. At the store level, inventory is physically counted each quarter. Inventory is then adjusted in our accounting system to reflect actual count results. Leases We lease certain real estate for our retail store locations and periodically lease warehouse equipment for our Texas distribution center, both under long-term lease agreements. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception and recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. We elected not to record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet for all our asset classes. The depreciable life of related leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the useful life or the lease term. For operating leases, the present value of our lease payments may include: (1) rental payments adjusted for inflation or market rates, and (2) lease terms with options to renew the lease or options to purchase leased equipment, when it is reasonably certain we will exercise such an option. The exercise of lease renewal or purchase option is generally at our discretion. Payments based on a change in an index or market rate are not considered in the determination of lease payments for purposes of measuring the related lease liability. We discount lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate based on information available as of the measurement date. We recognize rent expense related to our operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense is recorded in operating expenses. For finance leases, our right-of-use assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the earlier of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term with rent expense recorded to operating expenses. We adjust the lease liability to reflect lease payments made during the period and interest incurred on the lease liability using the effective interest method. The remaining asset balance in our finance lease is only residual value and only an insignificant interest expense of less than $100 dollars was incurred and is recorded on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. None of our lease agreements contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We do not have any contingent rental payment agreements. We have no sublease agreements and no lease agreements in which we are named as a lessor. Refer to Note 4, Leases for further discussion of the Company’s leases. Impairment of long-lived assets We evaluate long-lived assets on a quarterly basis to identify events or changes in circumstances (“triggering events”) that indicate the carrying value of certain assets may not be recoverable. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets, property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment and an impairment loss is recorded in the period in which it is determined that the carrying amount of the assets is not recoverable. The determination of recoverability is made based upon the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows of assets grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets with such cash flows to be realized over the estimated remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. The Company determined the lowest level of identifiable cash flows that are independent of other asset groups to be primarily at the individual store level. If the estimated undiscounted future net cash flows for a given store are less than the carrying amount of the related store assets, an impairment loss is determined by comparing the estimated fair value with the carrying value of the related assets. The impairment loss is then allocated across the asset group’s major classifications which in this case are operating lease assets and property and equipment. Triggering events at the store level could include material declines in operational and financial performance or planned changes in the use of assets, such as store relocation or store closure. This evaluation requires management to make judgements relating to future cash flows, growth rates and economic and market conditions. The fair value of an asset group is estimated using a discounted cash flow valuation method. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $0.02 million in impairment of two stores whereas there was no impairment expense recognized as of December 31, 2023. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares with a dilutive effect, such as stock awards from the Company’s restricted stock plan, had been issued. Anti-dilutive securities represent potentially dilutive securities which are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS as their impact would be anti-dilutive. Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 38 and 65,075 shares, respectively, excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because the impact of their assumed vesting would be anti-dilutive. The significant change was due to expiration and forfeiture of the CEO and board member shares as of December 31, 2024. For additional disclosures regarding restricted stock awards and employee stock options, see Note 10, Stockholders’ Equity – Equity Compensation Plans. Other intangible assets Our intangible assets and related accumulated amortization relate to trademarks and copyrights that are definite-lived intangibles and are subject to amortization. The weighted average amortization period is 15 years for trademarks and copyrights. Amortization expense related to other intangible assets was less than $0.01 million in each of 2024 and 2023 and was recorded in operating expenses. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, we estimate amortization expense to be less than $0.01 million annually over the next five years. Our “Other intangible assets” was fully amortized as of December 31, 2023 and is now included in “Other assets” on the face of the balance sheet. Fair value of financial instruments 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-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
| Level 1 – observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
| Level 2 – significant observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, such as quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
| Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants.
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 consist of our money market investment or T-Bills maturing less than 90 days, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying values of our financial instruments, included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, approximated their fair values. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Income taxes Income taxes are estimated for each jurisdiction in which we operate. This involves assessing current tax exposure together with temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial statement accounting purposes. Any resulting deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability based on estimated future taxable income. To the extent it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. Our evaluation regarding whether a valuation allowance is required or should be adjusted also considers, among other things, the nature, frequency, and severity of recent losses, forecasts of future profitability and the duration of statutory carryforward periods. 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 be recognized when it is more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. We recognize tax liabilities for uncertain tax positions and adjust these liabilities when our judgement changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from the current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense and the effective tax rate in the period in which new information becomes available. We recognize interest and/or penalties related to all tax positions in income tax expense. To the extent that accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made. We may be subject to periodic audits by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. These audits may challenge certain of our tax positions, such as the timing and amount of deductions and allocation of taxable income to the various jurisdictions. Stock-based compensation The Company’s stock-based compensation relates primarily to restricted stock unit (“RSU”) 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 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 service-based awards typically vest ratably over the requisite service period, provided that the participant is employed on the vesting date. Compensation expense is reduced by actual forfeitures as they occur over the requisite service period of the awards. Performance-based RSUs vest, if at all, upon the Company satisfying certain performance targets. The Company records compensation expense for awards with a performance condition when it is probable that the condition will be achieved. If the Company determines it is not probable a performance condition will be achieved, no compensation expense is recognized. If the Company changes its assessment in a subsequent period and concludes it is probable a performance condition will be achieved, the Company will recognize compensation expense ratably between the period of the change in assessment through the expected date of satisfying the performance condition for vesting. If the Company subsequently assesses that it is no longer probable that a performance condition will be achieved, the accumulated expense that has been previously recognized will be reversed. The compensation expense ultimately recognized, if any, related to performance-based awards will equal the grant date fair value based on the number of shares for which the performance condition has been satisfied. We issue shares from authorized shares upon the lapsing of vesting restrictions on RSUs. We do not use cash to settle equity instruments issued under stock-based compensation awards. 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, and those adjustments are presented net of tax. Shipping and handling costs Costs to ship products to our customers are included in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Total costs were $3.2 million and $3.2 million for both the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Advertising Advertising costs include the cost of print, digital, direct mail, community events, trade shows, and our e-commerce platform. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was $1.3 million and $1.1 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard Update (ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting Topic 250: Improvements to Reportable segment Disclosures) on segment reporting in November 2023 that is effective for 2024 financial reporting and the Company adopted the standard as a single reportable segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is our CEO, uses both the net sales, cost of goods sold and net operating income to assess the Company’s performance and allocation of resources. All three measures are currently included on the face of our income statement. The Company did not adopt any other new accounting guidance that was applicable for the year ended December 31, 2024.
