Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block]

8.         Intangible Assets

Our intangible assets with indefinite lives consist of: goodwill related to the Shenandoah, Sunset West and BOBO Intriguing Objects acquisitions; and trademarks and tradenames related to the acquisitions of Bradington-Young, Home Meridian and BOBO Intriguing Objects. During the fiscal 2024 second quarter, we recorded $500,000 trademarks with indefinite lives and $124,000 goodwill as a result of the BOBO acquisition. During the fiscal 2024 first quarter, we announced the rebranding of the Sam Moore product line to “HF Custom”. As a result, we reassessed the characteristics of the Sam Moore trade name and the roll-out process, and determined it qualified for amortization; consequently, we began amortizing the Sam Moore trade name over a 24-month period using the straight-line method beginning mid-April 2023. Our intangible assets with definite lives are recorded in our Home Meridian and Domestic Upholstery segments. Details of our intangible assets are as follows:
