ROCKY BRANDS, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016
| 1. | INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORTING |
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results. All such adjustments reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are considered to be of a normal and recurring nature. The results of the operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the whole year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
| 2. | TRADE RECEIVABLES |
Trade receivables are presented net of the related allowance for uncollectible accounts of approximately $1,396,000, $1,041,000 and $833,000 at March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is calculated based on the relative age and size of trade receivable balances. Our credit policy generally provides that trade receivables will be deemed uncollectible and written-off once we have pursued all reasonable efforts to collect on the account.
| 3. | INVENTORIES |
Inventories, net of reserves, are comprised of the following:

| 4. | SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION |
Supplemental cash flow information is as follows:
| (Unaudited) | ||||||||
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| March 31, | ||||||||
| 2017 | 2016 | |||||||
| Interest | $ | 99,546 | $ | 117,947 | ||||
| Federal, state and local income taxes, | ||||||||
| net of refunds | $ | 36,499 | $ | 988,056 | ||||
| Fixed asset purchases in accounts payable | $ | 108,345 | $ | 148,357 | ||||
| 5. | PER SHARE INFORMATION |
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The diluted earnings per share computation includes common share equivalents, when dilutive. There are no adjustments to net income necessary in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share.
A reconciliation of the shares used in the basic and diluted income per common share computation for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:
| (Unaudited) | ||||||||
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||
| March 31, | ||||||||
| 2017 | 2016 | |||||||
| Weighted average | ||||||||
| shares outstanding | 7,435,000 | 7,583,170 | ||||||
| Dilutive restricted share units | 1,764 | - | ||||||
| Dilutive stock options | 24 | - | ||||||
| Dilutive weighted average | ||||||||
| shares outstanding | 7,436,788 | 7,583,170 | ||||||
Weighted average shares that were antidilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of earnings per share were 83,537 and 142,518 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, diluted earnings per share of common stock are equal to basic earnings per share of common stock due to the net loss.

| 6. | RECENT FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). Currently, there is no guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The update is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have an effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330). The amendments in this Update require an entity to measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this Update more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have an effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this update simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 effective January 2017 and applied the amendments retrospectively to maintain comparability of its consolidated balance sheets. The change in accounting standard has been applied retrospectively by adjusting the consolidated balance sheets for the prior periods presented.
8
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this update were issued as part of the FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. In addition, the amendments in this update eliminate the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, The Company has elected to continue incorporating an estimate for forfeitures for share-based compensation with a service condition.
Accounting standards not yet adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this update supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14. The amendments in this update defer the effective date of Update 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method but plan to select a transition method no later than the fourth quarter of 2017. We are currently assessing our contracts with customers and related financial disclosures to evaluate the impact of the amended guidance on our existing revenue recognition policies and procedures.
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This Update clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in the new revenue recognition standard. The Update includes targeted improvements based on input the Board received from the Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition and other stakeholders. The Update seeks to proactively address areas in which diversity in practice potentially could arise, as well as to reduce the cost and complexity of applying certain aspects of the guidance both at implementation and on an ongoing basis. The amendments in this update are effective at the same time as ASU 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
9
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides narrow scope improvements and practical expedients related to ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The purpose of ASU 2016-12 is to clarify certain narrow aspects of Topic 606 such as assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts at transition, and technical correction. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this Update will require lessees to recognize (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted for all entities upon issuance. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, addressing eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce diversity in practice. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, and for interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
| 7. | INCOME TAXES |
We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. Federal tax examinations for years before 2013. In 2014, we were subjected to an IRS examination of our consolidated U.S. Federal return for the year 2011. There were no adjustments to our return as a result of that examination. State jurisdictions that remain subject to examination range from 2012 to 2016. Foreign jurisdiction tax returns that remain subject to examination range from 2011 to 2016 for Canada and from 2011 to 2016 for Puerto Rico. We do not believe we have any uncertain tax positions.
Our policy is to accrue interest and penalties on any uncertain tax position as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2017, no such expenses were recognized during the quarter.
We provided for income taxes at an estimated effective
tax rate of 34.0% and 33.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

| 9. | CAPITAL STOCK |
On May 7, 2014, our shareholders approved the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan includes 500,000 of our common shares that may be granted under various types of awards as described in the 2014 Plan. As of March 31, 2017, we were authorized to issue 269,087 shares under this plan.
Service Based Restricted Stock
In the first quarter of 2016, we issued 30,000 restricted stock units to certain members of our management that will be settled in one share of common stock of the company per unit. These restricted stock units vest in increments of 25% per year over four years, commencing at the date of award. We valued the units at a fair value of $11.56 per unit, which was the closing price of our stock on the last trading date prior to the grant date. There were no issuances of restricted stock units in 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded expense of $18,426 and $62,691, respectively, related to restricted stock units.
Performance Based Restricted Stock
In the first quarter of 2016, we made available up to 43,000 performance based restricted stock units to certain members of our management. Shares underlying the performance based restricted stock units will be issued upon achieving certain established EPS goals at the end of fiscal year 2017. There were no issuances of performance based restricted stock units in 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not record any expense related to these performance based restricted stock units as it is uncertain if we will reach the performance goals.
Stock Options
In the first quarter of 2017, we issued 43,500 stock options to certain members of our management. These stock options vest in increments of 20% per year over the next five years. The options are exercisable at $11.55 per option, which was the closing price of our stock on the last trading date prior to the grant date. We have determined the fair value of the options to be $2.85 per option using the Black Scholes calculation. The significant assumptions utilized for the Black Scholes calculations consist of an expected life of 6.5 years, historical volatility of 35.24%, a risk free interest rate of 2.26%, a dividend yield of 3.78% and an initial employee forfeiture rate of 7.7%. Our expected life estimate is based on the sum of the vesting terms divided by the number of vesting tranches. Also in the first quarter of 2017, we issued an additional 11,500 stock options to a member of our management. These units vest the same as the first issuance. The options are exercisable at $10.35 per option, which was the closing price of our stock on the last trading date prior to the grant date. We have determined the fair value of the options to be $2.45 per option using the Black Scholes calculation. The significant assumptions utilized for the Black Scholes calculation consists of an expected life of 6.5 years, historical volatility of 35.26%, a risk free interest rate of 2.43%, a dividend yield of 4.19% and an initial employee forfeiture rate of 7.7%. In the first quarter of 2016, we issued 30,000 stock options to certain members of our management. These stock options vest in increments of 20% per year over the next five years. The options are exercisable at $11.56 per option, which was the closing price of our stock on the last trading date prior to the grant date. We have determined the fair value of the options to be $3.41 per option using the Black Scholes calculation. The significant assumptions utilized for the Black Scholes calculation consists of an expected life of 6.5 years, historical volatility of 42.32%, a risk-free interest rate of 2.06%, a dividend yield of 3.81% and an initial employee forfeiture rate of 7.7%. Our expected life estimate is based on the sum of the vesting terms divided by the number of vesting tranches. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded expense of $29,004 and $17,417, respectively, related to stock option issuances.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we issued 3,636 shares of common stock to members of our Board of Directors. We recorded compensation expense of $42,000, which was the fair market value of the shares on the grant dates. The shares are fully vested.
Repurchase of Common Stock
In March 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $7,500,000 of common shares outstanding in open market or privately negotiated transactions over 12 months. The new authorization ran consecutively to the previous authorization made in February 2016, where the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $7,500,000 of common shares outstanding in open market or privately negotiated transactions over the next 12 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we did not repurchase any shares. As of March 31, 2017, the February 2016 authorization has expired and we have $7,500,000 of availability remaining under the current authorization.

| 11. | LONG-TERM DEBT |
In October 2010, we entered into a financing agreement with PNC Bank (“PNC”) to provide a $70 million credit facility. In December 2014, we amended and restated the credit facility to increase the facility to $75 million and extend the term of the facility an additional five years. The credit facility’s base interest rate is the current prime rate less 0.25%, however the credit facility provides us the option to borrow on up to eight fixed loans at LIBOR plus 1.25% in accordance with the 2014 amended and restated credit agreement. The LIBOR rate is determined based on the fixed loan maturities, which vary from 30, 60, 90, or 180 days. As of March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had approximately $0.2 million, $2.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in Prime based borrowings under the credit facility. As of March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had approximately $5.0 million, $12.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, in fixed LIBOR borrowings under the credit facility. The amended and restated credit facility matures in November 2019.
The total amount available under our amended and restated revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on various percentages of accounts receivable and inventory. As of March 31, 2017, we had $5.2 million in borrowings under this facility and total capacity of $57.8 million.
Our amended and restated credit facility contains a restrictive covenant which requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio. This restrictive covenant is only in effect upon a triggering event taking place (as defined in the amended and restated credit facility agreement). At March 31, 2017, there was no triggering event and the covenant was not in effect.
Our amended and restated revolving credit facility matures in November 2019. We have no other long-term debt maturities.
| 12. | FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Generally accepted accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value. The fair value accounting standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard clarifies how to measure fair value as permitted under other accounting pronouncements.
14
The fair value accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
| · | Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| · | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. |
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Receivable consists primarily of amounts due from our customers, net of allowances, amounts due from employees (sales persons’ advances in excess of commissions earned and employee travel advances); other customer receivables, net of allowances; and expected insurance recoveries. The carrying amounts of our revolving line of credit and other short-term financing obligations also approximate fair value, as they are comparable to the available financing in the marketplace during the year. The fair value of our revolving line of credit is categorized as Level 2.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information derived from our Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, expressed as a percentage of net sales. The discussion that follows the table should be read in conjunction with our Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
| Three Months Ended | ||||||||

| 2017 | 2016 | |||||||
| Net Sales | 100.0 | % | 100.0 | % | ||||

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $63.1 million compared to $57.5 million for the same period in 2016. Wholesale sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $39.2 million compared to $40.2 million for the same period in 2016. The $1.0 million decrease in wholesale sales was primarily driven by the discontinuation of a private label work program in the third quarter of 2016. Retail sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $11.9 million compared to $11.5 million for the same period in 2016. Military segment sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017, were $12.0 million, compared to $5.8 million in the same period in 2016. We are currently fulfilling several multiyear contracts for the U.S. military.
Gross margin. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $19.7 million, or 31.3% of net sales, compared to $18.9 million, or 32.9% of net sales, in the same period last year. Wholesale gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $13.0 million, or 33.3% of net sales, compared to $13.0 million, or 32.3% of net sales, in the same period last year. The increase in wholesale margin was due to offering less discounts and discontinuing the private label program that consisted of lower margin products. The Retail gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $5.3 million, or 44.8% of net sales, compared to $5.1 million, or 44.6% of net sales, for the same period in 2016. Military gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $1.4 million, or 11.5% of net sales, compared to $0.8 million, or 13.7% of net sales, for the same period in 2016. The decrease in military gross margin percent is still reflective of the expansion of our Puerto Rico facility in the second quarter of 2016 to meet the increased demand provided by several multi-year military contracts. Although the margin percent is down from the first quarter of 2016, it is significantly higher than the last three quarters of 2016 and should continue to normalize now that we have fully optimized our domestic manufacturing facility.
16
SG&A expenses. SG&A expenses were $17.4 million, or 27.6% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $19.1 million, or 33.3% of net sales for the same period in 2016. The net decrease in 2017 was primarily related to the reorganizational efforts completed in the third quarter of 2016.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Income taxes. Income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $0.8 million, compared to $0.1 million benefit for the same period a year ago. We provided for income taxes at effective tax rates of 34.0% for 2017 and 33.9% for 2016.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity have been our income from operations and borrowings under our amended and restated credit facility.
Over the last several years our principal uses of cash have been for working capital and capital expenditures to support our growth. Our working capital consists primarily of trade receivables and inventory, offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses. Our working capital fluctuates throughout the year as a result of our seasonal business cycle and business expansion and is generally lowest in the months of January through March of each year and highest during the months of May through October of each year. We typically utilize our revolving credit facility to fund our seasonal working capital requirements. As a result, balances on our revolving credit facility will fluctuate significantly throughout the year. Our capital expenditures relate primarily to projects relating to our property, merchandising fixtures, molds and equipment associated with our manufacturing and distribution operations, retail sales fleet and for information technology. Capital expenditures were $0.9 million for the first three months of 2017, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2016. Total capital expenditures for 2017 are anticipated to be approximately $4.0 million.
In October 2010, we entered into a financing agreement with PNC Bank (“PNC”) to provide a $70 million credit facility. In December 2014, we amended and restated the credit facility to increase the facility to $75 million and extend the term of the facility an additional five years. The credit facility’s base interest rate is the current prime rate less 0.25%, however the credit facility provides us the option to borrow on up to eight fixed loans at LIBOR plus 1.25% in accordance with the 2014 amended and restated credit agreement. The LIBOR rate is determined based on the fixed loan maturities, which vary from 30, 60, 90, or 180 days. As of March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had approximately $0.2 million, $2.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in Prime based borrowings under the credit facility. As of March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had approximately $5.0 million, $12.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, in fixed LIBOR borrowings under the credit facility. The amended and restated credit facility matures in November 2019.
The total amount available under our amended and restated revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on various percentages of accounts receivable and inventory. As of March 31, 2017, we had $5.2 million in borrowings under this facility and total capacity of $57.8 million.
Our amended and restated credit facility contains a restrictive covenant which requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio. This restrictive covenant is only in effect upon a triggering event taking place (as defined in the amended and restated credit facility agreement). At March 31, 2017, there was no triggering event and the covenant was not in effect.
17
Operating Activities. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $5.3 million in the same period of 2016. Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily impacted by an increase in accounts payable. Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily impacted by decreases in accounts receivable levels and higher accounts payable, partially offset by increases in inventory levels.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $2.1 million in the same period of 2016. Cash used in investing activities reflects an investment in property, plant and equipment of $0.9 million in 2017 and $2.1 million in 2016. Our 2017 and 2016 expenditures primarily relate to investments in molds and equipment associated with our manufacturing operations, for information technology and for improvements to our distribution facility.
Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $10.2 million and was related to net payments under the revolving credit facility. Cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $2.9 million and was related to net payments under the revolving credit facility and for the payment of dividends on our common stock.
Inflation
We cannot determine the precise effects of inflation; however, inflation continues to have an influence on the cost of materials, salaries, and employee benefits. We attempt to offset the effects of inflation through increased selling prices, productivity improvements, and reduction of costs.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Our management regularly reviews our accounting policies to make certain they are current and also to provide readers of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements with useful and reliable information about our operating results and financial condition. These include, but are not limited to, matters related to accounts receivable, inventories, intangibles and income taxes. Implementation of these accounting policies includes estimates and judgments by management based on historical experience and other factors believed to be reasonable. This may include judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities based on considerations that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
18
Our management believes the following critical accounting policies are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Revenue principally consists of sales to customers, and, to a lesser extent, license fees. Revenue is recognized when the risk and title passes to the customer, while license fees are recognized when earned. Customer sales are recorded net of allowances for estimated returns, trade promotions and other discounts, which are recognized as a deduction from sales at the time of sale.
Accounts receivable allowances
Management maintains allowances for uncollectible accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is calculated based on the relative age and size of trade receivable balances.
Sales returns and allowances
We record a reduction to gross sales based on estimated customer returns and allowances. These reductions are influenced by historical experience, based on actual customer returns and allowances. The actual amount of sales returns and allowances realized may differ from our estimates. If we determine that sales returns or allowances should be either increased or decreased, then the adjustment would be made to net sales in the period in which such a determination is made.
Inventories
Management identifies slow moving or obsolete inventories and estimates appropriate loss provisions related to these inventories. Historically, these loss provisions have not been significant as the vast majority of our inventories are considered saleable, and we have been able to liquidate slow moving or obsolete inventories through our factory outlet stores or through various discounts to customers. Should management encounter difficulties liquidating slow moving or obsolete inventories, additional provisions may be necessary. Management regularly reviews the adequacy of our inventory reserves and makes adjustments to them as required.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets, including goodwill, trademarks and patents are reviewed for impairment annually, and more frequently, if necessary. We perform such testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of each year or as events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying amount.
In assessing whether indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired, we must make certain estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, long-term growth rates of our business, operating margins, weighted average cost of capital and other factors such as discount rates, royalty rates, cost of capital, and market multiples to determine the fair value of our assets. These estimates and assumptions require management’s judgment, and changes to these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or impairment for each of our other indefinite-lived intangible assets. Future events could cause us to conclude that indications of intangible asset impairment exist. Impairment may result from, among other things, deterioration in the performance of our business, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws and regulations, competition, or the sale or disposition of a reporting segment. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
19
Income taxes
Management has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets for a portion of state and local income tax net operating losses that it believes may not be realized. We have considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance; however, in the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes since December 31, 2016.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to our Company is accumulated and made known to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in a timely manner, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared, and (2) effective, in that they provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Management believes, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
Internal Controls. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results. All such adjustments reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are considered to be of a normal and recurring nature. The results of the operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the whole year. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. |

| Schedule of Earnings Per Share, Diluted, by Common Class, Including Two Class Method [Table Text Block] |
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The diluted earnings per share computation includes common share equivalents, when dilutive. There are no adjustments to net income necessary in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of the shares used in the basic and diluted income per common share computation for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:
Weighted average shares that were antidilutive and therefore not included in the calculation of earnings per share were 83,537 and 142,518 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, diluted earnings per share of common stock are equal to basic earnings per share of common stock due to the net loss. |

| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | ||||
| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). Currently, there is no guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The update is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have an effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330). The amendments in this Update require an entity to measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this Update more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have an effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this update simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 effective January 2017 and applied the amendments retrospectively to maintain comparability of its consolidated balance sheets. The change in accounting standard has been applied retrospectively by adjusting the consolidated balance sheets for the prior periods presented. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this update were issued as part of the FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. In addition, the amendments in this update eliminate the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, The Company has elected to continue incorporating an estimate for forfeitures for share-based compensation with a service condition. Accounting standards not yet adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this update supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14. The amendments in this update defer the effective date of Update 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method but plan to select a transition method no later than the fourth quarter of 2017. We are currently assessing our contracts with customers and related financial disclosures to evaluate the impact of the amended guidance on our existing revenue recognition policies and procedures. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This Update clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in the new revenue recognition standard. The Update includes targeted improvements based on input the Board received from the Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition and other stakeholders. The Update seeks to proactively address areas in which diversity in practice potentially could arise, as well as to reduce the cost and complexity of applying certain aspects of the guidance both at implementation and on an ongoing basis. The amendments in this update are effective at the same time as ASU 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides narrow scope improvements and practical expedients related to ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The purpose of ASU 2016-12 is to clarify certain narrow aspects of Topic 606 such as assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts at transition, and technical correction. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this Update will require lessees to recognize (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted for all entities upon issuance. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, addressing eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce diversity in practice. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, and for interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. |

We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. Federal tax examinations for years before 2013. In 2014, we were subjected to an IRS examination of our consolidated U.S. Federal return for the year 2011. There were no adjustments to our return as a result of that examination. State jurisdictions that remain subject to examination range from 2012 to 2016. Foreign jurisdiction tax returns that remain subject to examination range from 2011 to 2016 for Canada and from 2011 to 2016 for Puerto Rico. We do not believe we have any uncertain tax positions. Our policy is to accrue interest and penalties on any uncertain tax position as a component of income tax expense. As of March 31, 2017, no such expenses were recognized during the quarter. We provided for income taxes at an estimated effective
tax rate of 34.0% and 33.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |

| Schedule of Share-based Compensation, Shares Authorized under Stock Option Plans, by Exercise Price Range [Table Text Block] |
On May 7, 2014, our shareholders approved the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The 2014 Plan includes 500,000 of our common shares that may be granted under various types of awards as described in the 2014 Plan. As of March 31, 2017, we were authorized to issue 269,087 shares under this plan. Service Based Restricted Stock In the first quarter of 2016, we issued 30,000 restricted stock units to certain members of our management that will be settled in one share of common stock of the company per unit. These restricted stock units vest in increments of 25% per year over four years, commencing at the date of award. We valued the units at a fair value of $11.56 per unit, which was the closing price of our stock on the last trading date prior to the grant date. There were no issuances of restricted stock units in 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded expense of $18,426 and $62,691, respectively, related to restricted stock units. Performance Based Restricted Stock In the first quarter of 2016, we made available up to 43,000 performance based restricted stock units to certain members of our management. Shares underlying the performance based restricted stock units will be issued upon achieving certain established EPS goals at the end of fiscal year 2017. There were no issuances of performance based restricted stock units in 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not record any expense related to these performance based restricted stock units as it is uncertain if we will reach the performance goals. Stock Options In the first quarter of 2017, we issued 43,500 stock options to certain members of our management. These stock options vest in increments of 20% per year over the next five years. The options are exercisable at $11.55 per option, which was the closing price of our stock on the last trading date prior to the grant date. We have determined the fair value of the options to be $2.85 per option using the Black Scholes calculation. The significant assumptions utilized for the Black Scholes calculations consist of an expected life of 6.5 years, historical volatility of 35.24%, a risk free interest rate of 2.26%, a dividend yield of 3.78% and an initial employee forfeiture rate of 7.7%. Our expected life estimate is based on the sum of the vesting terms divided by the number of vesting tranches. Also in the first quarter of 2017, we issued an additional 11,500 stock options to a member of our management. These units vest the same as the first issuance. The options are exercisable at $10.35 per option, which was the closing price of our stock on the last trading date prior to the grant date. We have determined the fair value of the options to be $2.45 per option using the Black Scholes calculation. The significant assumptions utilized for the Black Scholes calculation consists of an expected life of 6.5 years, historical volatility of 35.26%, a risk free interest rate of 2.43%, a dividend yield of 4.19% and an initial employee forfeiture rate of 7.7%. In the first quarter of 2016, we issued 30,000 stock options to certain members of our management. These stock options vest in increments of 20% per year over the next five years. The options are exercisable at $11.56 per option, which was the closing price of our stock on the last trading date prior to the grant date. We have determined the fair value of the options to be $3.41 per option using the Black Scholes calculation. The significant assumptions utilized for the Black Scholes calculation consists of an expected life of 6.5 years, historical volatility of 42.32%, a risk-free interest rate of 2.06%, a dividend yield of 3.81% and an initial employee forfeiture rate of 7.7%. Our expected life estimate is based on the sum of the vesting terms divided by the number of vesting tranches. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recorded expense of $29,004 and $17,417, respectively, related to stock option issuances. The following summarizes stock option transactions from January 1, 2017 through March 31, 2017:
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we issued 3,636 shares of common stock to members of our Board of Directors. We recorded compensation expense of $42,000, which was the fair market value of the shares on the grant dates. The shares are fully vested. Repurchase of Common Stock In March 2017, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $7,500,000 of common shares outstanding in open market or privately negotiated transactions over 12 months. The new authorization ran consecutively to the previous authorization made in February 2016, where the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $7,500,000 of common shares outstanding in open market or privately negotiated transactions over the next 12 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we did not repurchase any shares. As of March 31, 2017, the February 2016 authorization has expired and we have $7,500,000 of availability remaining under the current authorization. |

| Long-term Debt, Description |
In October 2010, we entered into a financing agreement with PNC Bank (“PNC”) to provide a $70 million credit facility. In December 2014, we amended and restated the credit facility to increase the facility to $75 million and extend the term of the facility an additional five years. The credit facility’s base interest rate is the current prime rate less 0.25%, however the credit facility provides us the option to borrow on up to eight fixed loans at LIBOR plus 1.25% in accordance with the 2014 amended and restated credit agreement. The LIBOR rate is determined based on the fixed loan maturities, which vary from 30, 60, 90, or 180 days. As of March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had approximately $0.2 million, $2.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in Prime based borrowings under the credit facility. As of March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, we had approximately $5.0 million, $12.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively, in fixed LIBOR borrowings under the credit facility. The amended and restated credit facility matures in November 2019. The total amount available under our amended and restated revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation based on various percentages of accounts receivable and inventory. As of March 31, 2017, we had $5.2 million in borrowings under this facility and total capacity of $57.8 million. Our amended and restated credit facility contains a restrictive covenant which requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio. This restrictive covenant is only in effect upon a triggering event taking place (as defined in the amended and restated credit facility agreement). At March 31, 2017, there was no triggering event and the covenant was not in effect. Our amended and restated revolving credit facility matures in November 2019. We have no other long-term debt maturities. |

| Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] |
Generally accepted accounting standards establish a framework for measuring fair value. The fair value accounting standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard clarifies how to measure fair value as permitted under other accounting pronouncements. The fair value accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Receivable consists primarily of amounts due from our customers, net of allowances, amounts due from employees (sales persons’ advances in excess of commissions earned and employee travel advances); other customer receivables, net of allowances; and expected insurance recoveries. The carrying amounts of our revolving line of credit and other short-term financing obligations also approximate fair value, as they are comparable to the available financing in the marketplace during the year. The fair value of our revolving line of credit is categorized as Level 2. |

| Description of New Accounting Pronouncements Not yet Adopted [Text Block] |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40). Currently, there is no guidance in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments should reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The update is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have an effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330). The amendments in this Update require an entity to measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this Update more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have an effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in this update simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this update require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this update apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17 effective January 2017 and applied the amendments retrospectively to maintain comparability of its consolidated balance sheets. The change in accounting standard has been applied retrospectively by adjusting the consolidated balance sheets for the prior periods presented. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this update were issued as part of the FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The areas for simplification in this update involve several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. In addition, the amendments in this update eliminate the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017, which did not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Upon adoption, The Company has elected to continue incorporating an estimate for forfeitures for share-based compensation with a service condition. Accounting standards not yet adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this update supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14. The amendments in this update defer the effective date of Update 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method but plan to select a transition method no later than the fourth quarter of 2017. We are currently assessing our contracts with customers and related financial disclosures to evaluate the impact of the amended guidance on our existing revenue recognition policies and procedures. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This Update clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in the new revenue recognition standard. The Update includes targeted improvements based on input the Board received from the Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition and other stakeholders. The Update seeks to proactively address areas in which diversity in practice potentially could arise, as well as to reduce the cost and complexity of applying certain aspects of the guidance both at implementation and on an ongoing basis. The amendments in this update are effective at the same time as ASU 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provides narrow scope improvements and practical expedients related to ASU 2014-09: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The purpose of ASU 2016-12 is to clarify certain narrow aspects of Topic 606 such as assessing the collectability criterion, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications at transition, completed contracts at transition, and technical correction. The standard has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09. Public business entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans should apply the guidance in update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amendments in this Update will require lessees to recognize (with the exception of short-term leases) a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted for all entities upon issuance. We have not yet determined the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, addressing eight specific cash flow issues in an effort to reduce diversity in practice. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2017, and for interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. |
