SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |
Feb. 28, 2021 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business Estimates Business Concentration A significant portion of our UBAM division sales are facilitated through the use of social media collaboration platforms that allow our consultants to interact in real-time, or near real-time, with customers. Consultants use these platforms to invite potential customers to “online parties,” provide book recommendations, answer questions and provide links to other supporting online materials. When a customer is ready to purchase books from the online party, they are redirected from the social media platform to the consultant’s e-commerce site where the order can be placed. Cash and Cash Equivalents Accounts Receivable Management periodically reviews accounts receivable balances and, based on an assessment of historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, customers’ financial conditions and current economic trends, estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation account based on its assessment of the current status of the individual accounts. Balances which remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. Management has estimated an allowance for doubtful accounts of $331,900 and $237,400 as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. Included within this allowance is $93,900 of reserve for vendor discounts to sell remaining inventory as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020. Inventories The Company assumes title and responsibility for inventory purchased according to the contract language with our suppliers and the individual shipment terms for the order. The majority of Usborne orders pass title at FOB-Destination Port and most Kane Miller orders pass title at FOB-Shipping Point. The Company maintains insurance for the value of the inventory once the title has been passed until it is received at our warehouse (“inventory in transit”). Consultants that meet certain eligibility requirements may request and receive inventory on consignment. Consignment inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, less an estimated reserve for consignment inventory that is not expected to be sold or returned to the Company. The total cost of inventory on consignment, excluding the estimated reserve, with consultants was $1,114,100 and $1,519,600 at February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. The Company has reserved for consignment inventory not expected to be sold or returned of $478,600 and $239,800 as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. Inventories are presented net of a valuation allowance, which includes reserves for inventory obsolescence and consultant consignment inventory that is not expected to be sold or returned. Management estimates the allowance for both current and noncurrent inventory. The allowance is based on management’s identification of slow-moving inventory and estimated consignment inventory that will not be sold or returned. Property, Plant and Equipment Building 30 years Building improvements 5 – 15 years Machinery and equipment 3 – 15 years Capitalized software 4 years Furniture and fixtures 3 years Capitalized projects that are not placed in service are recorded as in progress and are not depreciated until the related assets are placed in service. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Income Taxes Revenue Recognition The majority of the UBAM's sales contracts have a single performance obligation and are short-term in nature. UBAM’s sales are generally collected at the time the product is ordered. Sales which have been paid for but not shipped are classified as deferred revenue on the balance sheets. Sales associated with consignment inventory are recognized when reported by the consignee and payment associated with the sale has been collected. Transportation revenue represents the amount billed to the customer for shipping the product and is recorded when the product is shipped. Certain UBAM sales contracts associated with the hostess award programs include sales incentives, such as discounted products. These incentives provide a separate performance obligation in the contract and material right to the customer. The transaction price is allocated to the material right based on its relative standalone selling price and is recognized in revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied, which occurs at shipping point or at the expiration of the material right. As the products included as sales incentives are shipped with the associated products ordered, there is no deferral required. Revenues allocated to the material right are recognized in gross sales, discounts and allowances and cost of goods sold in our statement of earnings. The majority of Publishing’s sales contracts have a single performance obligation and are short-term in nature. Publishing’s sales may be collected at the time the product is shipped or the customers may be given payment terms based primarily on their credit worthiness and payment history. Estimated allowances for sales returns, which reduce net revenues and costs of goods sold, are recorded as sales are recognized. Management uses a moving average calculation to estimate the allowance for sales returns. We are not responsible for product damaged in transit. Damaged returns are primarily from retail stores. These returns result from damage that occurs in the stores, not in shipping to the stores. It is industry practice to accept non-damaged returns from retail customers. Management has estimated sales returns of approximately $201,500 as of both February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, which is included in other current liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets. In addition, Management has recorded an asset for the expected value of non-damaged inventories to be returned. The estimated value of returned products of $100,800 is included in other current assets on the Company’s balance sheets as of both February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020. The Company generally expenses sales commissions in the same period that the revenue is recognized. These costs are recorded within operating expenses. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an unexpected length of one year or less. Advertising Costs Shipping and Handling Costs Interest Expense Earnings per Share The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS is shown below: Year Ended February 28 (29), 2021 2020 Earnings per share: Net earnings applicable to common shareholders $ 12,624,000 $ 5,645,100 Shares: Weighted average shares outstanding-basic 8,352,474 8,318,412 Assumed exercise of options and issuance of nonvested restricted shares 74,250 4,716 Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted 8,426,724 8,323,128 Diluted earnings per share: Basic $ 1.51 $ 0.68 Diluted $ 1.50 $ 0.68 Share-Based Compensation New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB published ASU 2019-12: Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. Topic 740 addresses a number of topics including but not limited to the removal of certain exceptions currently included in the standard related to intra-period allocation when there are losses, in addition to calculation of income taxes when current year-to-date losses exceed anticipated loss for the year. The amendment also simplifies accounting for certain franchise taxes and disclosure of the effect of enacted change in tax laws or rates. Topic 740 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The impact of the adoption is not expected to have a material impact to our financial statements and disclosures. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04: Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This ASU includes practical expedients for contract modifications due to reference rate reform. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination at the modification date. This ASU is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company’s debt agreements include the use of alternate rates when LIBOR is not available. We do not expect the change from LIBOR to an alternate rate will have a material impact to our financial statements and, to the extent we enter into modifications of agreements that are impacted by the LIBOR phase-out, we will apply such guidance to those contract modifications. |

We are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2017. Based upon a review of our income tax filing positions, we believe that our positions would be sustained upon an audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded. We classify interest and penalties associated with income taxes as a component of income tax expense on the statements of earnings. |

Retirement Benefits [Text Block] | 6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN The Company has created the Educational Development Corporation Employee 401(k) Plan (“EDC 401(k) Plan”) as a benefit plan for employees offering retirement investment options as well as profit sharing with its employees, in the form of matching contributions. This plan incorporates the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code that allow favorable tax treatments on investments. The EDC 401(k) Plan is available to all employees that meet specific age and length of service requirements. The Company’s matching contributions are discretionary and approved annually at a meeting of the EDC 401(k) Plan’s Trustees and Company’s management. Matching contributions made to the Plan by the Company totaled $126,800 and $146,600 during the fiscal years ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. The EDC 401(k) Plan includes, as an investment option, the ability to purchase shares of the Company’s stock. Employees that made contributions in this investment option historically purchased their shares directly from the Company. Sales of our treasury stock to the EDC 401(k) Plan totaled 40,559 shares in fiscal 2020. In fiscal year 2021, the EDC 401(k) Plan administrator began acquiring shares of the Company stock directly from the NASDAQ. |

Lessor, Operating Leases [Text Block] | 7. LEASES We have both lessee and lessor arrangements. Our leases are evaluated at inception or at any subsequent modification. Depending on the terms, leases are classified as either operating or finance leases if we are the lessee, or as operating, sales-type or direct financing leases if we are the lessor, as appropriate under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842 - Leases. Our lessee arrangement includes a rental agreement where we have the exclusive use of dedicated office space in San Diego, California, and qualifies as an operating lease. Our lessor arrangements include three rental agreements for warehouse and office space in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and each qualifies as an operating lease under ASC 842. In accordance with ASC 842, we have made an accounting policy election to not apply the new standard to lessee arrangements with a term of one year or less and no purchase option that is reasonably certain of exercise. We will continue to account for these short-term arrangements by recognizing payments and expenses as incurred, without recording a lease liability and right-of-use asset. We have also made an accounting policy election for both our lessee and lessor arrangements to combine lease and non-lease components. This election is applied to all of our lease arrangements as our non-lease components are not material and do not result in significant timing differences in the recognition of rental expenses or income. Operating Leases Lessee We recognize a lease liability, reported in other liabilities on the balance sheets, for each lease based on the present value of remaining minimum fixed rental payments (which includes payments under any renewal option that we are reasonably certain to exercise), using a discount rate that approximates the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term. We also recognize a right-of-use asset, reported in other assets on the balance sheets, for each lease, valued at the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid or accrued rent balances existing at the time of initial recognition. The lease liability and right-of-use asset are reduced over the term of the lease as payments are made and the assets are used. February 28 (29), 2021 2020 Operating lease assets: Right-of-use asset $ 34,100 $ 45,200 Operating lease liabilities: Current lease liability $ 13,700 $ 13,500 Long-term lease liability $ 20,400 $ 31,700 Remaining lease term (months) 31 43 Discount Rate 4.60 % 4.60 % Minimum fixed rental payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as costs and expenses in our statements of earnings.

Term Loan #1 Tranche A, originally totaling $13.4 million, was part of the prior loan agreement. Term Loan #1 Tranche A has a fixed interest rate of 4.23% with principal and interest payable monthly and a stated maturity date of December 1, 2025. Term Loan #1 is secured by the primary office, warehouse and land. The outstanding borrowings on Term Loan #1 were $10,984,700 and $11,497,100 as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. The Loan Agreement also provides a $15.0 million revolving loan (“Line of credit”) through August 15, 2022 with interest payable monthly at the Bank-adjusted LIBOR Index plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, with a minimum rate of 2.75% (the effective rate was 2.75% at February 28, 2021). The Company had $5,245,300 of borrowings outstanding on the line of credit as of February 28, 2021. Available credit under the revolving credit agreement was $9,570,200 as of February 28, 2021. In addition, the Loan Agreement provides a $6.0 million Advancing Term Loan to be used to finance planned equipment purchases. The Advancing Term Loan requires interest-only payments through July 15, 2021, at which time it will convert to a 60-month amortizing term loan maturing July 15, 2026. The Advancing Term Loan accrues interest at the Bank-adjusted LIBOR Index plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, with a minimum rate of 2.75% (the effective rate was 2.75% at February 28, 2021). The Company had no borrowings under the Advancing Term Loan at February 28, 2021. The Company had three separate loans under the prior loan agreement with the Bank: Term Loan #1 Tranche B, Term Loan #2 and a revolving loan that were fully paid prior to executing the current Loan Agreement. The Tranche B Loan had interest payable monthly at the Bank-adjusted LIBOR Index plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, with a minimum rate of 2.75%. The outstanding borrowings on the Tranche B Loan was $4,293,500 as of February 29, 2020. Term Loan #2 had interest payable monthly at the Bank-adjusted LIBOR Index plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, with a minimum rate of 2.75%. Term Loan #2 was secured by our secondary warehouse and land. The outstanding borrowings on Term Loan #2 was $3,021,100 as of February 29, 2020. The prior loan agreement also provided a $10.0 million revolving loan with interest payable monthly at the Bank-adjusted LIBOR Index plus a tiered pricing rate based on the Company’s Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio, with a minimum rate of 2.75%. We had no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit at February 29, 2020. The Advancing Term Loan and the line of credit accrue interest at a tiered rate based on our Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio. The current pricing tier is as follows: Pricing Tier Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio LIBOR Margin (bps) I >2.00 300.00 II >1.50 but <2 275.00 III >1.00 but <1 250.00 IV <1 225.00 Adjusted Funded Debt is defined as all long-term and short-term bank debt less the outstanding balance of Term Loan #1. EBITDA is defined in the Loan Agreement as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation and amortization expenses. The Adjusted Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio includes Adjusted Funded Debt to trailing twelve month EBITDA, reduced by specific rental income received from a non-related third party, see Note 7. The $15.0 million line of credit is limited to advance rates on eligible receivables and eligible inventory levels. The Loan Agreement contains a provision for our use of the Bank’s letters of credit. The Bank agrees to issue or obtain issuance of commercial or stand-by letters of credit provided that no letters of credit will have an expiry date later than August 15, 2022, and that the sum of the line of credit plus the letters of credit would not exceed the borrowing base in effect at the time. We had no letters of credit outstanding as of February 28, 2021. The Loan Agreement also contains provisions that require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and limits any additional debt with other lenders. Additionally, the Loan Agreement places limitations on the amount of dividends that may be distributed and the total value of stock that can be repurchased using advances from the line of credit. On April 16, 2020, the Company entered into a loan with the Bank of approximately $1.4 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act.

Disclosure of Share-based Compensation Arrangements by Share-based Payment Award [Table Text Block] | 10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION The Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2002 Plan”) in June of 2002. The 2002 Plan also authorized us to grant up to 2,000,000 stock options. Options granted under the 2002 Plan vest at date of grant and are exercisable up to ten years from the date of grant. The exercise price on options granted is equal to the market price at the date of grant. There were no options outstanding during fiscal year 2021. The options outstanding at the beginning of fiscal year 2020 were exercised in December 2019. A summary of the status of our 2002 Plan as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, and changes during the years then ended is presented below: February 28 (29), 2021 2020 Weighted Weighted Average Average Exercise Exercise Shares Price Shares Price Outstanding at beginning of year - - 10,000 $ 2.63 Exercised - - 10,000 $ 2.63 Expired - - - - Outstanding at end of year - - - - In July 2018, our shareholders approved the Company’s 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2019 LTI Plan”). The 2019 LTI Plan established up to 600,000 shares of restricted stock to be granted to certain members of management based on exceeding specified net revenues and pre-tax performance metrics during fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Restricted shares granted under the 2019 LTI Plan “cliff vest” after five years. The restricted share awards granted under the 2019 LTI Plan contain both service and performance conditions. The Company recognizes share compensation expense only for the portion of the restricted share awards that are considered probable of vesting. Shares are considered granted, and the service inception date begins, when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions between the Company and the employee have been established. The fair value of these awards is determined based on the closing price of the shares on the grant date. The probability of restricted share awards granted with future performance conditions is evaluated at each reporting period and compensation expense is adjusted based on the probability assessment. During fiscal year 2019, the Company granted approximately 308,000 restricted shares under the 2019 LTI Plan with an average grant-date fair value of $9.94 per share. 5,000 restricted shares from fiscal year 2019 were forfeited during fiscal year 2021. The remaining compensation expense for fiscal year 2019 awards, totaling approximately $1,307,000, will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of approximately 24 months. No shares were granted during fiscal year 2020. During fiscal year 2021, the Company initially granted 151,000 restricted shares under the 2019 LTI Plan with an average grant-date fair value of $6.30 per share. 8,000 of these shares were granted, forfeited and re-granted to remaining participants in fiscal year 2021. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company increased the number of shares granted for fiscal year 2021 from 151,000 to 305,000 due to revised performance expectations for the year. The remaining compensation expense for these awards, totaling approximately $1,571,200, will be recognized ratably over the remaining vesting period of approximately 48 months. As of February 28, 2021, there are no restricted shares available for issuance as future awards under the 2019 LTI Plan. A summary of compensation expense recognized in connection with restricted share awards as follows: Year Ended February 28 (29), 2021 2020 Share-based compensation expense $ 938,600 $ 665,100 The following table summarizes stock award activity during fiscal year 2021 under the 2019 LTI Plan: Shares Weighted Average Fair Value (per share) Outstanding at February 29, 2020 308,000 $ 9.94 Granted 305,000 6.30 Vested - - Forfeited (13,000 ) (7.70 ) Outstanding at February 28, 2021 600,000 $ 8.14 As of February 28, 2021, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares was $2,878,200, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 37.1 months. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The valuation hierarchy included in U.S. GAAP considers the transparency of inputs used to value assets and liabilities as of the measurement date. A financial instrument's classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to its fair value measurement. The three levels of the valuation hierarchy and the classification of our financial assets and liabilities within the hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If an asset or liability has a specified term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. We do not report any assets or liabilities at fair value in the financial statements. However, the estimated fair value of our term notes payable is estimated by management to approximate $11,078,800 and $19,155,500 as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. Management's estimates are based on the obligations' characteristics, including floating interest rate, maturity, and collateral. Such valuation inputs are considered a Level 2 measurement in the fair value valuation hierarchy. |

Receivable [Policy Text Block] | Accounts Receivable Management periodically reviews accounts receivable balances and, based on an assessment of historical bad debts, current customer receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, customers’ financial conditions and current economic trends, estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation account based on its assessment of the current status of the individual accounts. Balances which remain outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. Management has estimated an allowance for doubtful accounts of $331,900 and $237,400 as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. Included within this allowance is $93,900 of reserve for vendor discounts to sell remaining inventory as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020. |
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Inventories The Company assumes title and responsibility for inventory purchased according to the contract language with our suppliers and the individual shipment terms for the order. The majority of Usborne orders pass title at FOB-Destination Port and most Kane Miller orders pass title at FOB-Shipping Point. The Company maintains insurance for the value of the inventory once the title has been passed until it is received at our warehouse (“inventory in transit”). Consultants that meet certain eligibility requirements may request and receive inventory on consignment. Consignment inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, less an estimated reserve for consignment inventory that is not expected to be sold or returned to the Company. The total cost of inventory on consignment, excluding the estimated reserve, with consultants was $1,114,100 and $1,519,600 at February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. The Company has reserved for consignment inventory not expected to be sold or returned of $478,600 and $239,800 as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, respectively. Inventories are presented net of a valuation allowance, which includes reserves for inventory obsolescence and consultant consignment inventory that is not expected to be sold or returned. Management estimates the allowance for both current and noncurrent inventory. The allowance is based on management’s identification of slow-moving inventory and estimated consignment inventory that will not be sold or returned. |

Revenue [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition The majority of the UBAM's sales contracts have a single performance obligation and are short-term in nature. UBAM’s sales are generally collected at the time the product is ordered. Sales which have been paid for but not shipped are classified as deferred revenue on the balance sheets. Sales associated with consignment inventory are recognized when reported by the consignee and payment associated with the sale has been collected. Transportation revenue represents the amount billed to the customer for shipping the product and is recorded when the product is shipped. Certain UBAM sales contracts associated with the hostess award programs include sales incentives, such as discounted products. These incentives provide a separate performance obligation in the contract and material right to the customer. The transaction price is allocated to the material right based on its relative standalone selling price and is recognized in revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied, which occurs at shipping point or at the expiration of the material right. As the products included as sales incentives are shipped with the associated products ordered, there is no deferral required. Revenues allocated to the material right are recognized in gross sales, discounts and allowances and cost of goods sold in our statement of earnings. The majority of Publishing’s sales contracts have a single performance obligation and are short-term in nature. Publishing’s sales may be collected at the time the product is shipped or the customers may be given payment terms based primarily on their credit worthiness and payment history. Estimated allowances for sales returns, which reduce net revenues and costs of goods sold, are recorded as sales are recognized. Management uses a moving average calculation to estimate the allowance for sales returns. We are not responsible for product damaged in transit. Damaged returns are primarily from retail stores. These returns result from damage that occurs in the stores, not in shipping to the stores. It is industry practice to accept non-damaged returns from retail customers. Management has estimated sales returns of approximately $201,500 as of both February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, which is included in other current liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets. In addition, Management has recorded an asset for the expected value of non-damaged inventories to be returned. The estimated value of returned products of $100,800 is included in other current assets on the Company’s balance sheets as of both February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020. The Company generally expenses sales commissions in the same period that the revenue is recognized. These costs are recorded within operating expenses. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an unexpected length of one year or less. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements In December 2019, the FASB published ASU 2019-12: Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes. Topic 740 addresses a number of topics including but not limited to the removal of certain exceptions currently included in the standard related to intra-period allocation when there are losses, in addition to calculation of income taxes when current year-to-date losses exceed anticipated loss for the year. The amendment also simplifies accounting for certain franchise taxes and disclosure of the effect of enacted change in tax laws or rates. Topic 740 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The impact of the adoption is not expected to have a material impact to our financial statements and disclosures. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04: Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease potential accounting impacts associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This ASU includes practical expedients for contract modifications due to reference rate reform. Generally, contract modifications related to reference rate reform may be considered an event that does not require remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination at the modification date. This ASU is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company’s debt agreements include the use of alternate rates when LIBOR is not available. We do not expect the change from LIBOR to an alternate rate will have a material impact to our financial statements and, to the extent we enter into modifications of agreements that are impacted by the LIBOR phase-out, we will apply such guidance to those contract modifications. |

We also recognize a right-of-use asset, reported in other assets on the balance sheets, for each lease, valued at the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid or accrued rent balances existing at the time of initial recognition. The lease liability and right-of-use asset are reduced over the term of the lease as payments are made and the assets are used.

Share-based Compensation Arrangement by Share-based Payment Award, Description | The 2019 LTI Plan established up to 600,000 shares of restricted stock to be granted to certain members of management based on exceeding specified net revenues and pre-tax performance metrics during fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021. Restricted shares granted under the 2019 LTI Plan “cliff vest” after five years.The restricted share awards granted under the 2019 LTI Plan contain both service and performance conditions. The Company recognizes share compensation expense only for the portion of the restricted share awards that are considered probable of vesting. Shares are considered granted, and the service inception date begins, when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions between the Company and the employee have been established. The fair value of these awards is determined based on the closing price of the shares on the grant date. The probability of restricted share awards granted with future performance conditions is evaluated at each reporting period and compensation expense is adjusted based on the probability assessment. | |||
