Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business:

Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”, and together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in June 2012. On August 21, 2012, Holdings consummated the transactions contemplated pursuant to that certain Contribution and Merger Agreement dated as of June 27, 2012, among Holdings, JWC Acquisition Corp., a publicly-held Delaware corporation (“JWCAC”), The Tile Shop, LLC, a privately-held Delaware limited liability company (“The Tile Shop”), and certain other parties. Through a series of transactions, The Tile Shop was contributed to and became a subsidiary of Holdings and Holdings effected a business combination with and became a successor issuer to JWCAC. These transactions are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”

The Company offers a wide selection of manufactured and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in retail locations across much of the United States. The Company’s assortment includes over 4,000 products from around the world that consist of natural stone, ceramic, porcelain, glass, and metal tiles. Natural stone products including marble, granite, quartz, sandstone, travertine, slate, and onyx tiles. The majority of the tile products are sold under the Company's proprietary Rush River and Fired Earth brands. The Company purchases tile products, accessories and tools directly from its network of vendors. The Company manufactures its own setting and maintenance materials, such as thinset, grout, and sealers under the Superior brand name. As of December 31, 2015, the Company operated 114 stores in 31 states, with an average size of approximately 21,800 square feet. The Company also sells products on its website.

Basis of Presentation:

The consolidated financial statements of Holdings include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities. See Note 11, “New Market Tax Credit,” for the discussion of financing arrangements involving certain entities that are variable interest entities that are included in these consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting practices of the United States (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The amount of assets and liabilities reported on the Company's balance sheets and the amounts of income and expenses reported for each of the periods presented are affected by estimates and assumptions, which are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for revenue recognition and related reserves for sales returns, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, determining impairment on long-lived assets, valuation of inventory, compensation expense on stock based compensation plans and income taxes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.3 million and $5.8 million at December 31, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company accepts a range of debit and credit cards, and these transactions are generally transmitted to a bank for reimbursement within 24 hours. The payments due from the banks for these debit and credit card transactions are generally received, or settle, within 24 to 48 hours of the transmission date. The Company considers all debit and credit card transactions that settle in less than seven days to be cash and cash equivalents. Amounts due from the banks for these transactions classified as cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.8 million and $1.9 million at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or are under the terms of certain contractual arrangements are included in the restricted balance on the balance sheet.

Trade Receivables:

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts on a specific identification basis as well as by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $113,500 and $69,500 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company does not accrue interest on accounts receivable.

Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined using the weighted average cost method) or market. Inventories consist primarily of merchandise held for sale. Inventories were comprised of the following at December 31, 2015 and 2014:

	(in thousands)
	2015		2014
Finished goods	$	59,503	$	58,323
Raw materials		2,681		2,356
Finished goods in transit		7,694		8,178
Total	$	69,878	$	68,857

The Company provides provisions for losses related to shrinkage and other amounts that are not otherwise expected to be fully recoverable. These provisions are calculated based on historical shrinkage, selling price, margin and current business trends.

Income Taxes:

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the degree to which tax assets and credit carry forwards will result in a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carry forwards is provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future periods. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets would be reduced.

The Company records interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions nor has the Company accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company recognizes sales at the time that the customer takes possession of the merchandise or when final delivery of the product has occurred. The Company recognizes service revenue, which consists primarily of freight charges for home delivery, when the service has been rendered. The Company is required to charge and collect sales and other taxes on sales to the Company's customers and remit these taxes back to government authorities. Total revenues do not include sales tax because the Company is a pass-through conduit for collecting and remitting sales tax. Sales are reduced by an allowance for anticipated sales returns that the Company estimates based on historical returns. The process to establish a sales return reserve contains uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate future returns and exchanges. The customer may receive a refund or exchange the original product for a replacement of equal or similar quality for a period of six months from the time of original purchase. Products received back under this policy are reconditioned pursuant to state laws and resold.

The Company generally requires customers to pay a deposit when purchasing inventory that is not regularly carried at the store location, or not currently in stock. These deposits are included in other accrued liabilities until the customer takes possession of the merchandise.

Sales Return Reserve

Customers may return purchased items for an exchange or refund. The Company records a reserve for estimated product returns, net of cost of sales based on historical return trends together with current product sales performance. A summary of activity in the Company's sales returns reserve are as follows (in thousands):

	2015			2014			2013
Balance at beginning of year	$	3,292		$	2,850		$	1,815
Additions for sales returns		26,522			28,517			25,387
Deductions from reserve		(27,033	)		(28,075	)		(24,352	)
Balance at end of year	$	2,781		$	3,292		$	2,850

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The following table illustrates the primary costs classified in each major expense category:

Cost of Sales

● Cost of product sold;

● Freight expenses to bring products into the Company's distribution centers;

● Custom and duty expenses;

● Customer shipping and handling expenses;

● Physical inventory losses;

● Costs incurred at distribution centers in connection with the receiving process;

● Labor and overhead costs incurred to manufacture inventory

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses (SG&A)

● All other payroll and benefit costs for retail, corporate and distribution employees;

● Occupancy, utilities and maintenance costs of retail and corporate facilities;

● Freight expenses to move inventory from the Company's distribution centers to the Company's stores;

● Depreciation and amortization;

● Advertising costs

Stock Based Compensation:

The Company recognizes expense for its stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the awards that are granted. Compensation expense is recognized only for those awards expected to vest, with forfeitures estimated at the date of grant based on historical experience and future expectations. The Company may issue incentive awards in the form of stock options, restricted stock awards and other equity awards to employees and non-employee directors. Compensation cost is recognized ratably over the requisite service period of the related stock-based compensation award.

Concentration of Risk:

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits. By their nature, all such instruments involve risks including credit risks of non-performance by counterparties. A substantial portion of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and bank deposits are invested with banks with high investment grade credit ratings.

Segments:

The Company’s operations consist primarily of retail sales of manufactured and natural stone tiles, setting and maintenance materials, and related accessories in stores located in the United States and through its website. The Company’s chief operating decision maker only reviews the consolidated results of the Company and accordingly, the Company has concluded it has one reportable segment.

Advertising Costs:

Advertising costs were $6.5 million, $5.7 million and $6.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s advertising consists primarily of digital media, direct marketing, event and traditional print media that is expensed at the time the media is distributed. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were $0.6 million and $0.1 million in advertising costs included in the consolidated balance sheets under other current assets, respectively.

Pre-opening costs:

The Company’s pre-opening costs are those typically associated with the opening of a new store and generally include rent expense, payroll costs and promotional costs. The Company expenses pre-opening costs as incurred which are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company reported pre-opening costs of $0.5 million, $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment:

Property, plant equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are charged to selling, general and administrative expenses when incurred. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over each asset’s estimated useful life. Leasehold improvements and fixtures at leased locations are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term (including renewal terms) or the estimated useful life of the asset. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss thereon is included in other income and expense.

	Asset life (in years)
Buildings and building improvements			40
Leasehold improvements		8	-	26
Furniture and fixtures		2	-	7
Machinery and equipment		5	-	10
Computer equipment and software		3	-	7
Vehicles			5

Internal Use Software:

The Company capitalizes software development costs incurred during the application development stage related to new software or major enhancements to the functionality of existing software that is developed solely to meet the Company’s internal operational needs and when there are no plans to market the software externally. Costs capitalized include external direct costs of materials and services and internal payroll and payroll-related costs. Any costs during the preliminary project stage or related to training or maintenance are expensed as incurred. Capitalization ceases when the software project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. The capitalization and ongoing assessment of recoverability of development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological and economic feasibility, and estimated economic life. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, $1.7 million was included in computer equipment and software. The majority of the costs capitalized relate to amounts invoiced by external consultants. The costs are amortized over estimated useful lives of three to five years. There was $0.5 million, $0.3 million and $0 depreciation expense related to capitalized software during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Leases:

The Company leases its store and corporate headquarters locations. Assets held under capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment and amortization is included in depreciation expense. Operating lease rentals are expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning on the date the Company takes possession of the property. Tenant improvement allowances are amounts received from a lessor for improvements to leased properties and are amortized against rent expense over the life of the respective leases. At lease inception, the Company determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of those renewal options that are reasonably assured. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The lease term is used to determine whether a lease is capital or operating and is used to calculate straight-line rent expense. Additionally, the depreciable life of leased assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term. Rent expense is included in SG&A expenses. Certain leases require the Company to pay real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses associated with the leased premises. These expenses are also classified in SG&A expenses.

Self-Insurance:

The Company is self-insured for certain employee health benefit and workers compensation claims. The Company estimates a liability for aggregate losses below stop-loss coverage limits based on estimates of the ultimate costs to be incurred to settle known claims and claims not reported as of the balance sheet date. The estimated liability is not discounted and is based on a number of assumptions and factors including historical trends, and economic conditions. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, an accrual of $0.5 million and $0.3 million related to estimated employee health benefit claims was included in other current liabilities, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, an accrual of $0.6 million and $0.4 million related to estimated workers compensation claims was included in other current liabilities, respectively.

The Company has a standby letter of credit outstanding realated to the Company's worker's compensation insurance policy. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the standby letter of credit totaled $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard sets forth a single comprehensive model for recognizing and reporting revenue. The new standard is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2018, and permits the use of either a retrospective or a cumulative effect transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued a standard requiring an entity’s management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements. The guidance also sets forth a series of disclosures that are required in the event the entity’s management concludes that there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard becomes effective for the Company in fiscal 2016 and requires an ongoing evaluation at each interim and annual period thereafter. The Company has determined that the adoption of this new guidance will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that will modify current consolidation guidance. The standard makes changes to both the variable interest entity model and the voting interest entity model, including modifying the evaluation of whether limited partnerships or similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities and amending the guidance for assessing how relationships of related parties affect the consolidation analysis of VIEs. The standard is effective for the Company in fiscal 2016. The Company is currently assessing the impact of implementing the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued a standard that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance is effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2016 and requires retrospective application. The Company anticipates reclassifying $2.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs from other asset accounts to be net against debt upon adopting this standard in the first quarter of 2016.

In July 2015, the FASB issued a standard which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory. Currently, an entity is required to measure its inventory at the lower of cost or market, whereby market can be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The changes require that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby eliminating the use of the other two market methodologies. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Currently, the Company applies the net realizable value market option to measure inventories at the lower of cost or market. These changes become effective for the Company in fiscal 2017. The Company has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued a standard which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. The guidance provides presentation requirements to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company early adopted this standard effective December 31, 2015, retrospectively. Adoption of this standard resulted in a $4.2 million and $3.9 million decrease in current deferred tax assets and a $4.2 million and $3.9 million increase in long-term deferred tax assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Adoption had no impact on the Company’s results of operations.

On June 2, 2015, the Company and its operating subsidiary, The Tile Shop, LLC, entered into a credit agreement with Fifth Third Bank, Bank of America, N.A., and Huntington National Bank (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a $125.0 million senior secured credit facility, comprised of a five-year $50.0 million term loan and a $75.0 million revolving line of credit. The Credit Agreement is secured by virtually all of the assets of the Company, including but not limited to, inventory, receivables, equipment and real property. Borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement bear interest at either a base rate or a LIBOR-based rate, at the option of the Company. The LIBOR-based rate will range from LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.00%, depending on The Tile Shop’s leverage ratio. The base rate is equal to the greatest of: (a) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the Fifth Third Bank “prime rate,” and (c) the Eurodollar rate plus 1.00%, in each case plus 0.50% to 1.00% depending on The Tile Shop’s leverage ratio. At December 31, 2015 the base interest rate was 4.25% and the LIBOR-based interest rate was 2.18%. Borrowings outstanding consisted of $8.0 million on the revolving line of credit and $47.5 million on the term loan as of December 31, 2015. Additional borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement may be used to support the Company’s growth and for working capital purposes. The Company incurred $1.0 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Credit Agreement. These costs were capitalized as other current and other noncurrent assets, and will be amortized over the five-year life of the Credit Agreement. The term loan requires quarterly principal payments as follows (in thousands):

Period
December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2017	$	1,250
September 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018		1,875
September 30, 2018 to March 31, 2020		2,500

The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, conditions to borrowings, and restrictive covenants, including restrictions on the Company’s ability to dispose of assets, make acquisitions, incur additional debt, incur liens, make investments, or enter into transactions with affiliates on other than terms that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction. The Credit Agreement also includes financial and other covenants including covenants to maintain certain fixed charge coverage ratios and rent adjusted leverage ratios. In addition, except with respect to pro rata payments made by The Tile Shop or other subsidiaries to the Company or any other equity owner of such entity, the Credit Agreement prohibits the payments of cash dividends. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of December 31, 2015.

The Credit Agreement superseded and replaced in its entirety the Company’s senior secured credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. dated October 3, 2012, as amended on April 30, 2013, July 8, 2013, March 26, 2014 and September 29, 2014. The Company used the $50.0 million term loan and $23.0 million drawn on the line of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement to refinance all of the existing indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s prior credit facility in the amount of approximately $73.0 million, which consisted of $72.8 million in unpaid principal and approximately $0.2 million in accrued and unpaid interest and fees. The Company also recorded a $0.2 million charge in interest expense to write-off of the unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the October 3, 2012 credit facility as of the date of the termination.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had accrued $0.1 million and $0.4 million of interest expense, respectively. Accrued interest is included in other current liabilities.

Capital Leases:

The Company has several leases for store facilities that are accounted for as capital leases. These leases expire at various dates through 2022. Assets acquired under capital leases are included in property, plant and equipment.

Operating leases:

The Company leases buildings and office space under various operating lease agreements. In addition to rent, most leases require payments of real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. The leases generally have an initial lease term of ten to fifteen years and contain renewal options and escalation clauses. For leases that contain fixed escalation of the minimum rent or rent holidays, rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis through the end of the lease term including assumed renewals. The difference between the straight-line rent amounts and amounts payable under the leases is recorded as deferred rent. For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, rent expense was $27.2 million, $25.2 million, and $19.5 million, respectively.

Legal proceedings:

The Company, two of its former executive officers, five of its outside directors, and certain companies affiliated with the directors, are defendants in a consolidated class action brought under the federal securities laws and now pending in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota under the caption Beaver County Employees’ Retirement Fund, et al. v. Tile Shop Holdings, Inc., et al. Several related actions were filed in 2013, and then consolidated. The plaintiffs are three investors who seek to represent a class or classes consisting of (1) all purchasers of Tile Shop common stock between August 22, 2012 and January 28, 2014 (the “alleged class period”), seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (2) all purchasers of Tile Shop common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s December 2012 registration statements, seeking to pursue remedies under the Securities Act of 1933. Six firms who were underwriters in the December 2012 secondary public offering are also named as defendants. In their consolidated amended complaint (the “complaint”), the plaintiffs allege that during the alleged class period, certain defendants made false or misleading statements of material fact in press releases and SEC filings about the Company’s relationships with its vendors, its gross margins, and its supply chain and producer relationships, and that defendants failed to disclose certain related party transactions. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 11, 12(a)(2), and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, and under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition to attorney’s fees and costs, the plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of the members of the purported classes. The defendants are vigorously defending the matter. The matter is now in discovery.

The Company also is a Defendant in a consolidated action brought derivatively on behalf of the Company by two shareholders of the Company. One action was first filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, and then voluntarily dismissed and re-filed in the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (“Delaware Chancery Court”). The second action was filed in Delaware Chancery Court. The two actions have since been consolidated by the Delaware Chancery Court under the caption In re Tile Shop Holdings, Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation. On July 31, 2015, the plaintiff-shareholders filed their Verified Consolidated Stockholder Derivative Complaint (“complaint”). The complaint names as defendants six members of the Company’s Board of Directors, and a former employee of the Company. The complaint tracks many of the same factual allegations as have been made in the above-described federal securities class action. It alleges that the defendant-directors breached their fiduciary duties by failing to adopt adequate internal controls for the Company, by approving false and misleading statements issued by the Company, by causing the Company to violate generally accepted accounting principles and SEC regulations, by engaging in or approving alleged insider trading, and by permitting the Company’s primary product to contain illegal amounts of lead. The complaint also alleges claims for insider trading and unjust enrichment. The complaint seeks damages, disgorgement, an award of attorneys’ fees and other expenses, and an order compelling changes to the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures. On November 2, 2015, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the derivative action, or in the alternative, to stay it pending resolution of the Beaver County Employees’ Retirement Fund action described above. Subsequently, the parties entered into a stipulation, and the Court entered an Order, staying the derivative action until resolution of the Beaver County Employees’ Retirement Fund action described above, or until a mutually agreeable resolution of the derivative action.

Given the uncertainty of litigation and the preliminary stage of these cases, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result from these actions. The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance policies that may reduce the Company’s exposure, if any. In the event the Company incurs a loss, the Company will pursue recoveries to the maximum extent available under these policies.

The Company is also, from time to time, subject to claims and disputes arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, while the outcome of such claims and disputes cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s ultimate liability in connection with these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

Note 6: Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The consolidated financial statements include the following financial instruments: cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital leases, notes payable and debt. At December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings and capital lease obligation approximates fair value based upon the market interest rates available to the Company for debt and capital lease obligations with similar risk and maturities.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell 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 on the measurement date. To measure fair value, the Company uses a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and non-observable inputs:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

	■	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

	■	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;

	■	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

	■	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment.

These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

Note 8: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, after taking into consideration all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share was calculated as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

	2015		2014		2013

Note 9: Equity Incentive Plans

2012 Plan:

Under the 2012 Omnibus Award Plan (the “2012 Plan”), 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were initially reserved for issuance pursuant to a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, and restricted stock awards. The number of shares initially reserved for issuance or transfer pursuant to awards under the 2012 Plan was to be increased on the first day of each calendar year beginning in 2013 and ending in 2022, in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) 2,500,000 shares, (B) six percent (6%) of the shares of common stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis) on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (C) such smaller number of shares of stock as determined by the Company’s board of directors. During 2013, (i) 2,500,000 shares of common stock were added to the 2012 Plan reserve effective January 1, 2013 in accordance with the automatic share increase provision of the 2012 Plan, (ii) the 2012 Plan was amended to eliminate the automatic share increase for subsequent years, and (iii) the 2012 Plan was amended to authorize grants of performance-based awards, which may be paid in cash or equity. The amendments to the 2012 Plan were approved by the Company’s stockholders in July 2013.

Stock Options:

During the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company granted stock options to its employees that included service condition requirements. The options provide for certain acceleration of vesting and cancellation of options under different circumstances, such as a change in control, death, disability and termination of service. The Company recognizes compensation expense net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For the portion of the options that contain both a market and service condition, the Company recognizes compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, using graded vesting over the requisite service period.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used in the option valuation models are outlined in the following table:

	2015				2014				2013
Risk-free interest rate		0.90%	-	1.07%		0.78%	-	1.05%		0.81%	-	1.6%
Expected life (in years)			5				5				7
Expected volatility		52%	-	53%			52%			45%	-	46%

The computation of the expected volatility assumptions used in the option valuation models was based on historical volatilities of the Company. The Company used the “simplified” method for an expected life as prescribed in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110, for companies that do not have adequate historical data. The risk-free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield was zero based on the fact the company has not paid dividends, nor does it intend to pay dividends in the future. To the extent that actual outcomes differ from the Company's assumptions, the Company is not required to true up grant-date fair value-based expense to final intrinsic values. The weighted average fair value of stock options granted was $5.00, $5.13, and $11.12 during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Stock based compensation related to options for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $3.6 million, $2.8 million, and $3.3 million, respectively, and was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2015, the total future compensation cost related to non-vested options not yet recognized in the consolidated statement of operations was $5.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

The following table summarizes stock option activity:

Note 10: Income Taxes

As a result of the Business Combination, beginning August 21, 2012, the Company’s results of operations are taxed as a C Corporation. Prior to the Business Combination, The Tile Shop’s operations were taxed as a limited liability company, whereby The Tile Shop elected to be taxed as a partnership and the income or loss was required to be reported by each respective member on their separate income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes was provided in the consolidated financial statements for periods prior to August 21, 2012. The following amounts represent the determination of the deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized in the Business Combination. The change in status to a taxable entity and the transactions consummated as part of the Business Combination resulted in the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of The Tile Shop’s assets and liabilities at the date of the Business Combination including the following: (i) historical outside basis difference at December 31, 2011, (ii) outside basis differences occurring in 2012 prior to the Business Combination, and (iii) the tax basis increase of The Tile Shop membership interests directly held by Holdings related to the Business Combination. At December 31, 2013, outside basis differences originating prior to the Business Combination related primarily to temporary basis differences in inventory, fixed assets, accruals, and Section 743, totaled $6.4 million, which have been tax-effected at a 40% combined federal and state rate. Deferred tax assets of $0 and $0.6 million were recognized and included in the tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, deferred tax assets of $0 and $0.4 million, during the periods ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, were recognized in connection with the Business Combination transactions (related to item (iii) above), which enables the Company to realize future tax deductions for the step-up in basis of the Tile Shop member ownership interests that have been contributed to the Company. These basis differences were credited directly to additional paid in capital as of the closing of the Business Combination.

The Tile Shop, LLC tax returns for periods 2010 through the Business Combination on August 21, 2012 are subject to examination by the IRS however, these tax liabilities are the responsibility of the former The Tile Shop members. The Company’s federal and state tax returns for the periods ended December 31, 2012, December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2014 remain subject to examination.

In accordance with ASC 740-10, the Company records interest and penalties through income tax relating to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions nor has the Company accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The components of the provision for income taxes consist of the following (in thousands):

Note 11 - New Market Tax Credit	12 Months Ended
Note 11 - New Market Tax Credit	Dec. 31, 2015
Notes to Financial Statements
Investment Holdings [Text Block]	Note 11: New Market Tax Credit In July 2013 the Company entered into a financing transaction with Chase Community Equity (“Chase”), and U.S. Bank Community, LLC (“U.S. Bank”, and, collectively with Chase, the “investors”) related to a $19.1 million acquisition, rehabilitation and construction of the Company’s new distribution and manufacturing center in Durant, Oklahoma. The investors made a capital contribution to, and Tile Shop Lending made a loan to, Chase New Market Tax Credit, The Tile Shop of Oklahoma Investment Fund, LLC, and The Tile Shop Investment Fund LLC (the “Investment Funds”) under a qualified New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) program. The NMTC program was provided for in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act of 2000 (the “Act”) and is intended to induce capital investment in qualified lower income communities. The Act permits taxpayers to claim credits against their Federal income taxes for up to 39% of qualified investments in the equity of community development entities (“CDEs”). CDEs are privately managed investment institutions that are certified to make qualified low-income community investments. In July 2013 Tile Shop Lending loaned $13.5 million to the Investment Funds at an interest rate of 1.35% per year and with a maturity of September 30, 2043. The Investment Funds then contributed the loan to certain CDEs, which, in turn, loaned the funds on similar terms to Tile Shop of Oklahoma, LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The proceeds of the loans from the CDEs (including loans representing the capital contribution made by the investors, net of syndication fees) were used to partially fund the new manufacturing and distribution center project. In July 2013, the investors also contributed $5.6 million to the Investment Funds and, by virtue of such contribution, are entitled to substantially all of the tax benefits derived from the NMTCs, while the Company effectively received net loan proceeds equal to investor’s contributions to the Investment Fund. This transaction includes a put/call provision whereby the Company may be obligated or entitled to repurchase the investors’ interest. The Company believes that the investors will exercise the put option in September 2020 at the end of the recapture period. The value attributed to the put/call is de minimis. The NMTC is subject to 100% recapture for a period of seven years as provided in the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is required to be in compliance with various regulations and contractual provisions that apply to the NMTC arrangement. Non-compliance with applicable requirements could result in projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, could require the Company to indemnify the investors for any loss or recapture of NMTCs related to the financing until such time as the obligation to deliver tax benefits is relieved. The Company does not anticipate any credit recaptures will be required in connection with this arrangement. The Company has determined that the financing arrangement with the Investment Funds and CDEs contains a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The ongoing activities of the Investment Funds – collecting and remitting interest and fees and NMTC compliance – were all considered in the initial design and are not expected to significantly affect economic performance throughout the life of the Investment Funds. Management considered the contractual arrangements that obligate the Company to deliver tax benefits and provide various other guarantees to the structure; Chase’s and U.S. Bank’s lack of a material interest in the underling economics of the project; and the fact that the Company is obligated to absorb losses of the Investment Funds. The Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and consolidated the Investment Funds, as a VIE, in accordance with the accounting standards for consolidation. Chase’s and U.S. Bank’s contributions of $4.4 million, net of syndication fees, are included in cash, restricted cash, and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The benefit of this net $4.4 million contribution will be recognized as a decrease in depreciation expense as the Company amortizes the contribution liability over the seven-year compliance period as it is being earned through the on-going compliance with the conditions of the NMTC program. Direct costs of $1.0 million incurred in structuring the financing arrangement are deferred and will be recognized as expense over the forty-year term of the loans. Incremental costs to maintain the structure during the compliance period are recognized as incurred.
