Business Description and Basis of Presentation [Text Block]

1.	Preparation of Interim Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Hooker Furniture Corporation and subsidiaries (referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “Hooker” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results of all interim periods reported herein. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as indicated in Note 2, below. Certain information and footnote disclosures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) are condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate for a fair presentation of our results of operations and financial position. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2018 (“2018 Annual Report”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect both the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from our estimates. Operating results for the interim periods reported herein may not be indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.

The Shenandoah acquisition closed during the third quarter in the 2018 fiscal year. Consequently, Shenandoah’s prior year results are not included in the results discussed in this quarterly report.

The financial statements contained herein are being filed as part of a quarterly report on Form 10-Q covering the thirteen-week period (also referred to as “three months,” “three-month period,” “quarter,” “first quarter” or “quarterly period”) that began January 29, 2018 and ended April 29, 2018. These financial statements also include the thirteen-week period that began January 30, 2017 and ended April 30, 2017.

References in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company to:

§	the 2019 fiscal year and comparable terminology mean the fiscal year that began January 29, 2018 and will end February 3, 2019; and

§	the 2018 fiscal year and comparable terminology mean the fiscal year that began January 30, 2017 and ended January 28, 2018.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Text Block]

2. Recently Adopted Accounting Policies

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. ASU 2017-09 was issued to provide clarity and reduce diversity in practice, cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. Essentially, an entity will not have to account for the effects of a modification if: (a) the fair value of the modified award is the same immediately before and after the modification; (b) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same immediately before and after the modification; and (c) the classification of the modified award as either an equity instrument or liability instrument is the same immediately before and after the modification. We adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-09 as of the beginning of our 2019 fiscal year on January 29, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact upon our financial condition or results of operations.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07)”. Currently, net benefit cost is reported as an employee cost within operating income. The amendment requires the bifurcation of net benefit cost. The service cost component will be presented with the other employee compensation costs in operating income. The other components will be reported separately outside of operations, and will not be eligible for capitalization. The amendment is effective for public entities for the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2017. The guidance is required to be applied on a retrospective basis for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost (including gains and losses on curtailments and settlements, and termination benefits paid through plans), and on a prospective basis for the capitalization of only the service cost component of net benefit cost. Amounts capitalized into assets prior to the date of adoption should not be adjusted through a cumulative effect adjustment, but should continue to be recognized in the normal course, as for example, inventory is sold or fixed assets are depreciated. We adopted ASU 2017-17 as of the beginning of our 2019 fiscal year on January 29, 2018. Please see Note 9 Employee Benefit Plans for the impact on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) does not constitute a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This screen reduces the number of transactions that need to be further evaluated. If the screen is not met, the amendments in ASU 2017-01 (a) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (b) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 apply prospectively and became effective for us at the beginning of our 2019 fiscal year on January 29, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our 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. ASU 2016-15 addresses how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Its objective is to reduce existing diversity in practice with respect to these items. Among the types of cash flows addressed are payments for costs related to debt prepayments or extinguishments, payments representing accreted interest on discounted debt, payments of contingent consideration after a business combination, proceeds from insurance claims and company-owned life insurance and distributions from equity method investees, among others. We adopted ASU 2016-15 as of the beginning of our 2019 fiscal year on January 29, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact upon our financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The new guidance allows the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. ASU 2018-02 was issued in response to concerns regarding current accounting guidance that requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates with the effect included in income from continuing operations in the reporting period that includes the enactment date, even in situations in which the related income tax effects of items in accumulated other comprehensive income were originally recognized in other comprehensive income, rather than net income. Consequently, the stranded tax effects would not reflect the appropriate tax rate. The amendments of this ASU allow an entity to make a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects, which is the difference between the historical federal corporate income tax rate of 35.0% and the newly enacted corporate income tax rate of 21.0%. We adopted ASU 2018-02 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoption resulted in the reclassification of $111,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This new standard replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP and codified guidance under FASB Topic 606. The underlying principle of this new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

We adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 29, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. As a result of adopting ASC 606, we recorded an increase to retained earnings of approximately $210,000, net of tax, as of January 29, 2018, due to the cumulative effect related to the change in accounting for shipments with synthetic FOB destination shipping terms. Results for the reporting period beginning after January 29, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting practices under previous guidance. However, given the nature of our products and our sales terms and conditions, with the exception of sales with synthetic FOB destination shipping terms which are immaterial, the timing and amount of revenue recognized based on the underlying principles of ASU No. 2014-09 are consistent with our revenue recognition policy under previous guidance.

In accordance with the new guidance, we recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to our customers. Our policy is to record revenue when control of the goods transfers to the customer. We have a present right to payment at the time of shipment as customers are invoiced at that time. We believe the customer obtains control of goods at the time of shipment, which is typically when title passes. While the customer may not enjoy immediate physical possession of the products, the customers’ right to re-direct shipment indicates control.

Net sales are comprised of gross revenues from sales of home furnishings and hospitality furniture products less trade discounts and customer allowances. Other revenues, primarily royalties, are immaterial to our overall results. Payment is typically due within 30-60 days of shipment for customers qualifying for payment terms. Collectability is reasonably assured since we extend credit to customers for whom we have performed credit evaluations and/or from whom we have received a down payment or deposit. Due to the highly-customized nature of our hospitality products, we typically require substantial prepayments on these orders, with the balance due within 30 days of delivery.

We regularly review and revise accounts receivable for doubtful accounts and customer allowances based upon historical bad debts and customer allowances and any agreements with specific customers. If the financial condition of a customer or customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional bad debt allowances may be required. Orders are generally non-cancellable once loaded into a shipping trailer or container. Physical product returns are very rare due to the high probability of damages to our products in return transit.

The transaction price for each contract is the stated price of the product, reduced by any stated discounts or allowances at that point in time. We do not engage in sales of products that attach a future material right which could result in a separate performance obligation for the purchase of goods in the future at a material discount. The implicit contract with the customer, as reflected in the order acknowledgement and invoice, states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each product purchased. The transaction price reflects the amount of estimated consideration to which we expect to be entitled. This amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price, and measurement of net sales, is included in net sales only to the extent that it is probable that there will be no significant reversal in a future period.

In the very limited instances when products are sold under consignment arrangements, we do not recognize revenue until control over such products has transferred to the end consumer.

We record contract liabilities when we receive partial or full payment prior to fulfilling a performance obligation. Contract liabilities related to revenues are recorded in “Customer Deposits” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We had contract liabilities of $4.3 million as of April 29, 2018.

As part of our adoption of ASC 606, we elected the following practical expedients and policy elections:

§	Sales taxes collected are presented on a net basis, consistent with our policy prior to the adoption of Topic 606. Therefore, this will not affect our financial statements or results of operations;

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, namely sales and designer commissions, are recorded as an expense when incurred in selling, general and administrative expenses, since contracts are on an order to order basis and are therefore short-term in nature. This accounting treatment is consistent with our policy prior to the adoption of Topic 606. Therefore, this will not affect our financial statements or results of operations; and

Shipping and handling activities are accounted for as fulfillment activities whether they occur before or after the customer obtains control of the goods. This practice is consistent with our policy prior to the adoption of Topic 606. Therefore, this will not affect our financial statements or results of operations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

6. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid upon the transfer of a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the applicable measurement date. We use a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

§	Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

§	Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

§	Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of April 29, 2018 and January 28, 2018, Company-owned life insurance was measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the Company-owned life insurance is determined by inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. Additionally, the fair value of the Company-owned life insurance is marked to market each reporting period and any change in fair value is reflected in income for that period.

As of January 28, 2018, the assets of the Home Meridian segment’s legacy Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) were measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on Level 1 inputs. Pension Plan assets, held in a trust account by the Plan’s trustee, primarily consist of a wide-range of mutual fund asset classes, including domestic and international equities, fixed income securities such as corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, real estate investments and U.S. Treasuries. As of January 31, 2018, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, Pension Plan assets were netted against the Plan’s Projected Benefit Obligation (“PBO”) on that date to determine the Pension Plan’s funded status. Since the PBO exceeded the market value of the Pension Plan’s assets, the funded status is recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as a net liability. As of April 29, 2018, the net liability for this plan was $2.3 million shown on the “Pension Plan” line of our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The market value of pension plan assets shown below are as of January 31, 2018. See Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans for additional information about the Plan.

Our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at April 29, 2018 and January 28, 2018, were as follows:

	Fair value at April 29, 2018								Fair value at January 28, 2018

Long-term Debt [Text Block]	8. Long-Term Debt We made an unscheduled $10 million payment during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 towards the amounts outstanding under the New Unsecured Term Loan. Consequently, we wrote off $6,000 in capitalized debt issuance costs to interest expense. As of April 29, 2018, there were unamortized loan costs of $101,000 netted against the carrying value of our term loans on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

9. Employee Benefit Plans

We maintain three retirement plans for the benefit of certain former and current employees, including a supplemental retirement income plan (“SRIP”) for certain former and current employees of Hooker Furniture Corporation, as well as two plans for the benefit of certain and former employees of Pulaski Furniture Corporation, one of two entities combined to form Home Meridian International. These legacy pension plan obligations include:

§	the Pulaski Furniture Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for certain former executives. The SERP is an unfunded plan and all benefits are paid solely out of our general assets; and

§	the Pulaski Furniture Corporation Pension Plan (the “Pension Plan”) for former Pulaski Furniture Corporation employees.

The SRIP, SERP and Pension Plan are all “frozen” and we do not expect to add additional participants to any of these plans in the future. Pension Plan assets include a range of mutual fund asset classes and are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs, which are quoted prices in active markets.

We adopted ASU 2017-07 as of the beginning of our 2019 fiscal year on January 29, 2018. Components of net periodic benefit cost other than the Service cost for the SRIP, SERP and the Pension Plan are included in the line item “Other income, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Service cost is included in our condensed consolidated statements of income under selling and administrative expenses. The adoption resulted in the reclassification of $131,000 in expense from Selling and administrative expenses to Other income, net in our fiscal 2018 first quarter condensed consolidated statements of income.

The expected long-term rate of return on Pension Plan assets is 6.9% as of the Pension Plan’s most recent valuation date of January 28, 2018.

We contributed $110,000 in required contributions to the Pension Plan in the fiscal 2019 first quarter and expect to contribute an additional total of $584,000 in required contributions to the Pension Plan during fiscal 2019. The SRIP and SERP plans are unfunded plans. Consequently, we expect to pay a total of approximately $524,000 in benefit payments from our general assets during the remainder of fiscal 2019 to fund SRIP and SERP payments.

10. Earnings Per Share

We refer you to the discussion of Earnings Per Share in Note 1-Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the financial statements included in our 2018 Annual Report, for additional information concerning the calculation of earnings per share.

We have issued restricted stock awards to non-employee members of the board of directors since 2006 and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to certain senior executives since fiscal 2012 under the Company’s Stock Incentive Plan. Each RSU entitles an executive to receive one share of the Company’s common stock if the executive remains continuously employed with the Company through the end of a three-year service period. The RSUs may be paid in shares of our common stock, cash or both at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our board of directors. We expect to continue to grant these types of awards annually in the future. The following table sets forth the number of outstanding restricted stock awards and RSUs, net of forfeitures and vested shares, as of the fiscal period-end dates indicated:

	April 29,		January 28,
	2018		2018

Restricted shares		12		16
Restricted stock units		14		19
		26		35

All restricted shares and RSUs awarded that have not yet vested are considered when computing diluted earnings per share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	11. Income Taxes We recorded income tax expense of $1.8 million for the fiscal 2019 first quarter compared to $2.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The effective tax rates for the fiscal 2019 and 2018 first quarters were 20.5% and 33.0%, respectively. Our effective tax rate was lower in the fiscal 2019 first quarter as a result of the Tax Cuts and Job Act. We adopted ASU 2014-09 and 2018-02 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The adoptions resulted in the reclassification of $120,000 from federal tax payable and $111,000 from accumulated other comprehensive income, both to retained earnings. The net unrecognized tax benefits as of April 29, 2018 and January 28, 2018, which, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate are $80,000. Tax years ending February 1, 2015 through January 28, 2018 remain subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

12. Segment Information

As a public reporting entity, we are required to present disaggregated information by segment using the management approach. The objective of this approach is to allow users of our financial statements to see our business through the eyes of management based upon the way management reviews performance and makes decisions. The management approach requires segment information to be reported based on how management internally evaluates the operating performance of the company’s business units or segments. The objective of this approach is to meet the basic principles of segment reporting as outlined in ASC 280 Segments (“ASC 280”), which are to allow the users of our financial statements to:

§	better understand our performance;

§	better assess our prospects for future net cash flows; and

§	make more informed judgments about us as a whole.

We define our segments as those operations our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews to analyze performance and allocate resources. We measure the results of our segments using, among other measures, each segment’s net sales, gross profit and operating income, as determined by the information regularly reviewed by the CODM.

We continually monitor our reportable segments for changes in facts and circumstances to determine whether changes in the identification or aggregation of operating segments are necessary. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, we updated our reportable segments as follows: Hooker Upholstery was aggregated with Hooker Casegoods and reported as the Hooker Branded segment. The domestic upholstery operations of Shenandoah Furniture, Sam Moore and Bradington-Young were moved into All Other with the Company’s H Contract business and the remains of the Company’s Homeware division, which was shuttered earlier in fiscal 2018. The Home Meridian segment remains unchanged. Therefore, for financial reporting purposes, we are organized into two reportable segments and “All Other”, which includes the remainder of our businesses:

§	Hooker Branded, consisting of the operations of our imported Hooker Casegoods and Hooker Upholstery businesses;

§	Home Meridian, a business acquired at the beginning of fiscal 2017, is a stand-alone, mostly autonomous business that serves a different type or class of customer than do our other operating segments and at much lower margins; and

All Other, which includes the domestic upholstery manufacturing operations of Bradington-Young, Sam Moore and Shenandoah Furniture and H Contract and Homeware, two businesses started in 2013. None of these operating segments met the ASC 280 aggregation criteria nor were individually reportable; therefore, we combined them in “All Other” in accordance with ASC 280. We note that Homeware failed to reach critical mass and its operations were wound down during the fiscal 2018 second quarter.

Subsequent Events [Text Block]	13. Subsequent Events Dividends On June 4, 2018, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share, payable on June 29, 2018 to shareholders of record at June 15, 2018. Casualty Loss On May 18, 2018, the Martinsville/Henry County, Va. area experienced torrential rains. Two of our warehouse facilities were damaged as a result. Based on current estimates, we believe that the costs associated with the recovery efforts will exceed our insurance deductible of $500,000. Consequently, we expect to record a casualty loss of $500,000 during the fiscal 2019 second quarter. We expect that amounts in excess of our deductible will be fully covered by the insurance policy in force at the time of the loss. The casualty loss has caused only a nominal disruption in our ability to fulfill and ship orders.
