| Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
R.G. Barry Corporation, an Ohio corporation, is engaged, with its subsidiaries, including Foot Petals Inc. and Baggallini, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”), in designing, sourcing, marketing and distributing footwear, foot and shoe care products and hand bags, tote bags and other travel accessories. The Company operates in two reportable segments: (1) footwear that encompasses primarily slippers, sandals, hybrid and fashion footwear; and (2) accessories with products including foot and shoe care products, handbags, tote bags and other travel accessories. The Company’s products are sold predominantly in North America through the accessory sections of department stores, chain stores, warehouse clubs, specialty stores, independent stores, television shopping networks, e-tailing/internet based retailers, discount stores and mass merchandising channels of distribution. The Company’s reporting period is a fifty-two or fifty-three-week period (“fiscal year”), ending annually on the Saturday nearest June 30. For definitional purposes, as used herein, the terms listed below include the respective periods noted:
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All inter-company balances and transactions, where appropriate, have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and accordingly, require management 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash includes deposits with banks and other financial institutions, which are accessible at any time without prior notice or penalty. Cash equivalents include $13,620 and $5,803 in money market accounts at June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively, with original maturities of three months or less.
At June 30, 2012, as part of its cash management and investment program, the Company maintained a portfolio of $25,599 in short-term investments, including $17,145 in marketable investment securities consisting of variable rate demand notes and $8,454 in other short-term investments. The marketable investment securities are classified as available-for-sale. These marketable investment securities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The other short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity securities and include several commercial paper investments, which matured in August, 2012. Held-to-maturity debt securities are those debt securities as to which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity debt securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. At July 2, 2011, as part of its cash management and investment program, the Company maintained a portfolio of $15,565 in short-term investments, including $12,073 in marketable investment securities consisting of variable rate demand notes and $3,492 in other short-term investments. The marketable investment securities were classified as available-for-sale. These marketable investment securities were carried at cost, which approximated fair value. The other short-term investments were classified as held-to-maturity securities and included several commercial paper investments, which matured in August 2011.
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.
Depreciation and amortization expense has been computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation and amortization expense is reflected as part of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The Company incurs costs in obtaining and perfecting trademarks and patents related to its products and production-related processes. These costs are generally amortized over a period subsequent to asset acquisition not to exceed five years. The value of acquired customer relationships is amortized over their projected economic life using the straight-line method.
The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria are met:
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. In certain circumstances, the Company sells to its customers under special arrangements, which in certain instances provide for return privileges, as well as discounts, promotions and other sales incentives. When selling under these special arrangements, the Company reduces its measurement of revenue by the estimated cost of potential future returns and allowable retailer promotions and sales incentives. The Company bases its estimates for sales returns and promotions and sales incentive allowances on current and historical trends and experience. Allowances established for returns were approximately $587 and $1,088 at the end of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively, and are classified in trade accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets; these allowances were for specific spring season programs initiated with certain customers in each respective fiscal year. During fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, the Company recorded approximately $4,654 and $4,054, respectively, as the sales value of merchandise returned by customers. Allowances for promotions, cooperative advertising and other sales incentives established at the end of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 were approximately $1,142 and $2,205, respectively, and are classified in trade accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Charges to revenue for consumer promotion, cooperative advertising and other sales incentive activities, including support for display fixtures, for fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 were approximately $10,611, $13,445 and $11,467, respectively.
Distribution and warehousing costs for finished product, including occupancy costs, are classified within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. These costs amounted to $7,763, $6,872 and $6,123 for fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively.
The Company uses a variety of programs to advertise and promote the sale of its products to customers and consumers. Customer advertising is expensed as incurred. The cost of consumer advertising is expensed when first used. For fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, advertising and promotion expenses of $3,308, $4,924 and $3,285, respectively, have been reported in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities 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 and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company’s management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income or the ability to carry back tax losses for recovery against prior years with taxable income. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred items, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Basic net earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted net earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding as well as, when their effect is dilutive, potential common shares consisting of certain common shares subject to stock options and restricted stock units.
Comprehensive income, consisting of net earnings, deferred gains and losses on interest rate hedging contracts and pension liability adjustments, is presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income.
The Company recognizes the stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period of the individual grantees, which generally equals the vesting period. All of the stock-based compensation is accounted for as an equity instrument, and expense is recognized over the service period for the entire award. This recognition is subject to the requirement that the cumulative amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized at any point in time must at least equal to the portion of the grant-date fair value of the award that is vested at that date. Awards issued during fiscal 2012 included new performance-based restricted stock units, where a defined portion of the award, if earned, is to be settled in common shares and a portion is to be settled in cash with the amount to be paid equivalent in market value to the common shares underlying the restricted stock units granted at the time of settlement. This “cash” portion of the award is treated as a liability award, with mark to market adjustments made in expense recognition over the term of the award for those units to be settled in cash payment to the respective grantee. The time-based portion and the portion of the performance-based award to be settled by cash payment are recognized in expense ratably over the three-year term of the grant, with expense related to units underlying the cash payment portion adjusted based on changes in market value of common shares over that period prior to settlement. The portion of the performance-based award to be settled by issuance of common shares is recognized in expense over the grant term using a tranche method for the respective segments expected to be settled. The Company’s Amended and Restated 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) is the only equity-based compensation plan under which future awards may be made to employees and non-employee directors of R.G. Barry Corporation other than the employee stock purchase plan in which employees of the Company may participate, as described in further detail in Note (12). The Company’s previous equity-based compensation plans remained in effect with respect to the then outstanding awards following the approval of the 2005 Plan. During fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, the Company recognized net excess federal, state and local tax benefit of $123, $128 and $1,285, respectively, associated with stock-based compensation and recognized this excess benefit as an addition to the paid-in capital account. Excess tax benefits are recognized only when they impact taxes paid or payable.
Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements based upon a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The carrying value of long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite useful lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances warrant such review. Impairment testing involves a comparison of the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group to its respective carrying amount. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows, then a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, which would be recorded as an impairment charge in the consolidated statements of earnings. There were no impairment indicators present during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. Assets to be disposed of, if any, would be presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets, reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually, during the Company’s second fiscal quarter, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. Application of goodwill impairment testing involves judgment, including but not limited to, the identification of reporting units and estimating the fair value of each reporting unit. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level. The goodwill impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of each reporting unit, determined using discounted cash flows, to each reporting unit’s respective carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, there is no impairment. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, goodwill impairment is indicated. The amount of the impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of the net assets of the reporting unit, excluding goodwill, to its estimated fair value, with the difference representing the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is lower than its carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge in the consolidated statements of income. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company completed the annual impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. The estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of the end of October in fiscal 2012, and there was no goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment indicated at that time. There were no impairment indicators present during or at the end of fiscal 2012.
The Company provided consideration to customers in the form of discounts and other allowances, which were reflected as a reduction of net sales of approximately $9,746, $12,150 and $10,188 for fiscal 2012, fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010, respectively.
The Company’s policy is to recognize and classify any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions as part of the Company’s income tax expense.
A derivative instrument, an interest rate contract, is used as part of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy to manage cash flow exposure from changes in interest rates. An interest rate contract generally involves the exchange of fixed-rate and variable-rate interest payments between two parties, based on a common notional principal amount and maturity date. Under an interest rate contract, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts, which is calculated based on an agreed-upon notional amount. A derivative instrument deemed highly effective qualifies for hedge accounting treatment under GAAP, and accordingly, the effective portion of unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swaps accounted for as a cash flow hedge is deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any deferred portion is a component of interest expense when the interest expense is incurred. Any ineffective portion is directly recorded as a component of interest expense. At the end of each quarter, the interest rate contract is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and re-tested under GAAP criteria to determine and/or reconfirm status with regards to being an effective cash flow hedge. If determined to be effective, any gain or loss outstanding on the interest rate contract is recorded to other comprehensive income (loss). If some or all of the interest rate contract is deemed ineffective as a cash flow hedge, any gain or loss on the ineffective portion of the interest rate contract is recognized immediately in earnings.
In August 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This amended accounting guidance as issued is intended to simplify how an entity is to test goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The two-step quantitative impairment test is required if, based on its qualitative assessment, an entity determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The update is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning in fiscal 2013. We do not expect the adoption of this amended accounting guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. The FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, in June 2011. The ASU will supersede some of the guidance in Topic 220 of the accounting Codification. The main provisions of this ASU provide that an entity that reports items of other comprehensive income has the option to present comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. One option involves use of a single statement which must present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and total other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income. The second option involves a two-statement approach, in which an entity must present the components of net income and total net income in the first statement. That statement must be immediately followed by a financial statement that presents the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income and a total for comprehensive income. The prior option in current GAAP that permits the presentation of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity will be eliminated upon adoption of this new ASU. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied retrospectively. For the Company, the amendments are effective for fiscal 2013, and interim periods within that year. Adoption of this standard change will only affect the presentation format of the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which deferred the effective date for applying ASU 2011-05 provisions relating to the presentation of separate line items on the income statement for reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into income, in order for the FASB to further evaluate this change in standard before implementation. The deferral is temporary and other provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for the Company starting in fiscal 2013 as noted above. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update requires additional disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements on assets and liabilities to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of such arrangements on an entity’s financial position as reported. This amendment is effective for fiscal 2014, and adoption of this standard change will only affect the footnote disclosures within the consolidated financial statements. Once adopted, these disclosure provisions will apply retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-2, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This update provides an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired and then determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. The amendment is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. The additional option for evaluating impairment will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
