Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |||||||||||
(a) | Description of Business | |||||||||||
KVH Industries, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company or KVH) designs, develops, manufactures and markets mobile communications products and services for the marine, and land mobile markets, and navigation, guidance, and stabilization products for both the defense and commercial markets. | ||||||||||||
KVH’s mobile communications products enable customers to receive voice and Internet services, and live digital television via satellite services in marine vessels, recreational vehicles, buses and automobiles. KVH’s CommBox offers a range of tools designed to increase communication efficiency, reduce costs, and manage network operations. KVH sells and leases its mobile communications products through an extensive international network of dealers and distributors. KVH also sells and leases products directly to end users. | ||||||||||||
KVH’s mobile communications service sales represent primarily sales earned from satellite voice and Internet airtime services. KVH provides, for monthly fixed and usage fees, satellite connectivity services, including broadband Internet, data and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, to its TracPhone V-series customers. Mobile communications services sales also include the distribution of commercially licensed entertainment, including news, sports, music, and movies to commercial and leisure customers in the maritime, hotel, and retail markets through KVH Media Group (acquired as Headland Media Limited), the media and entertainment service company that KVH acquired on May 11, 2013, and the distribution of training films and eLearning computer-based training courses to commercial customers in the maritime market through Super Dragon Limited and Videotel Marine Asia Limited (together referred to as Videotel), a maritime training services company that KVH acquired on July 2, 2014. KVH also earns monthly usage fees from third-party satellite connectivity services, including voice, data and Internet services, provided to its Inmarsat and Iridium customers who choose to activate their subscriptions with KVH. Mobile communications service sales also include engineering services provided under development contracts, sales from product repairs, and extended warranty sales. | ||||||||||||
KVH acquired Videotel for an aggregate purchase price of $47.4 million in cash. The purchase price was subject to a potential post-closing adjustment based on the value of the net assets delivered at the closing. We financed approximately $35.0 million of the purchase price through a new senior credit facility and paid the remaining portion of the purchase price from cash and cash equivalents. Revenue for the Videotel group companies was $10.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2014. The majority of Videotel’s services are invoiced in pounds sterling, which increases our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. | ||||||||||||
KVH also offers precision fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based systems that enable platform and optical stabilization, navigation, pointing and guidance. KVH’s guidance and stabilization products also include tactical navigation systems that provide uninterrupted access to navigation and pointing information in a variety of military vehicles, including tactical trucks and light armored vehicles. KVH’s guidance and stabilization products are sold directly to U.S. and foreign governments and government contractors, as well as through an international network of authorized independent sales representatives. In addition, KVH's guidance and stabilization products are used in numerous commercial products, such as navigation and positioning systems for various applications including precision mapping, dynamic surveying, autonomous vehicles, train location control and track geometry measurement systems, industrial robotics and optical stabilization. | ||||||||||||
KVH’s guidance and stabilization service sales include product repairs, engineering services provided under development contracts and extended warranty sales. | ||||||||||||
(b) | Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||||
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of KVH Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date of this filing. All of the operating expenses of the subsidiaries that serve as the Company’s European, Singaporean, Japanese, and Brazilian international distributors are reflected within sales, marketing, and support within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||||||
(c) | Significant Estimates and Assumptions | |||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, assumptions used to determine fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance, stock-based compensation, warranty and accounting for contingencies. | ||||||||||||
Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. | ||||||||||||
The Company has accounted for its $35,600 contract received in June 2012 from SANG to purchase TACNAV products and services under ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements. See section (e) of this note for estimates and assumptions related to multiple-element-arrangements and completed contract sales accounting. | ||||||||||||
The SANG total contract value associated with TACNAV products is $21,200, for which final shipments were completed in the second quarter of 2013. Revenue was recognized for these product sales after transfer of title and risk of loss and after inspection occurred. The total contract value associated with all services is $14,400, and services were completed in the third quarter of 2014. The revenue for these services is recognized using the proportional performance accounting method. The Company limits the amount of revenue recognized for delivered elements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services, future performance obligations, or subject to customer-specific return or refund privileges. Total revenue recognized on the SANG contract in 2014 and 2013 was approximately $1,300 and $19,600, respectively. | ||||||||||||
(d) | Concentration of Credit Risk and Single Source Suppliers | |||||||||||
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company is potentially subject to financial instrument concentration of credit risk through its cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities investments. To mitigate these risks the Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with reputable and nationally recognized financial institutions. As of December 31, 2014, $24,513 classified as marketable securities was held by Wells Fargo and substantially all of the cash and cash equivalents were held by Bank of America, N.A. See Note 2 for a description of marketable securities. | ||||||||||||
Trade accounts receivable. Concentrations of risk (see Note 12) with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across several geographic areas. Although the Company does not foresee credit risk associated with these receivables to deviate from historical experience, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of those individual customers. The Company establishes allowances for potential bad debts and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and its expectations for future collectability concerns. Activity within the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented is as follows: | ||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||
Beginning balance | $ | 1,705 | $ | 929 | $ | 623 | ||||||
Additions to sales allowance and bad debt expense | 1,610 | 1,305 | 536 | |||||||||
Deductions (write-offs/recoveries) from reserve | (592 | ) | (529 | ) | (230 | ) | ||||||
Ending balance | $ | 2,723 | $ | 1,705 | $ | 929 | ||||||
Certain components from third parties used in the Company’s products are procured from single sources of supply. The failure of a supplier, including a subcontractor, to deliver on schedule could delay or interrupt the Company’s delivery of products and thereby materially adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results. | ||||||||||||
(e) | Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||
Product sales. Product sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, goods are shipped, title has passed and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s standard sales terms require that: | ||||||||||||
• | All sales are final; | |||||||||||
• | Terms are generally Net 30; | |||||||||||
• | Shipments are tendered and shipped FOB (or as may be applicable, FCA, or EXW) the Company’s plant or warehouse; and | |||||||||||
• | Title and risk of loss or damage passes to the dealer or distributor at the point of shipment when delivery is made to the possession of the carrier. | |||||||||||
For certain guidance and stabilization product sales, customer acceptance or inspection may be required before title and risk of loss transfers. For those sales, revenue is recognized after transfer of title and risk of loss and after notification of customer acceptance. In certain circumstances customers may request a bill and hold arrangement. Under these bill and hold arrangements, revenue is recognized when the Company has fulfilled all of its performance obligations, the units are segregated and available for shipment in accordance with the defined contract delivery schedule, and the Company has received notification of customer acceptance which transfers title and risk of loss to the customer. | ||||||||||||
Under certain limited conditions, the Company, at its sole discretion, provides for the return of goods. No product is accepted for return and no credit is allowed on any returned product unless the Company has granted and confirmed prior written permission by means of appropriate authorization. The Company establishes reserves for potential sales returns, credits, and allowances, and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and expectations for the future. | ||||||||||||
Multiple-element revenue arrangements. Some of our sales involve multiple-element arrangements that include both hardware-related products and contracted service, or satellite connectivity that are accounted under ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements. | ||||||||||||
Multiple elements, arrangement consideration is allocated to each element based on the relative selling prices of all of the elements in the arrangement using the fair value hierarchy as required by “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2009-13). The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-13 as of January 1, 2010. ASU 2009-13 requires the Company establish VSOE of fair value based upon the price charged when the same element is sold separately or established by management having the relevant pricing authority. When VSOE exists it is used to determine the selling price of a deliverable. When VSOE is not established, the Company attempts to establish the selling price of each element based on TPE. When the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, the Company uses BESP in the allocation of arrangement consideration for the relevant deliverables. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if a product or service was sold on a stand-alone basis. The Company determines BESP for our products and certain services by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, overall market conditions, including geographic or regional-specific market factors and profit objectives for such deliverables. | ||||||||||||
Each deliverable within the Company's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting under the guidance of ASU 2009-13 if both of the following criteria are met: the delivered item or items have value to the customer on a standalone basis; and for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company. The Company considers a deliverable to have standalone value if the item is sold separately by the Company or another vendor or if the item could be resold by the customer. Further, the Company's revenue arrangements generally do not include a general right of return relative to delivered products. | ||||||||||||
Deliverables not meeting the criteria for being a separate unit of accounting are combined with a deliverable that does meet that criterion. The appropriate allocation of arrangement consideration and recognition of revenue is then determined for the combined unit of accounting. | ||||||||||||
Satellite connectivity and media content sales. Directly sold and re-sold satellite connectivity service for voice, data and Internet is recognized monthly based upon minutes or megabytes of traffic processed or contracted fixed fee schedules. Typically, all subscribers enter into a contracted one-year minimum service agreement. The Company records all satellite connectivity service sales to subscribers as gross sales, as the Company is the primary obligor in the contracted service arrangement. All associated regulatory service fees and costs are recorded net in the consolidated financial statements. Media content sales include the Company's distribution of commercially licensed news, sports, movies and music content for commercial and leisure customers in the maritime, hotel, and retail markets as well as training videos to the merchant marine market that are typically based on a contracted fixed fee schedule. The Company typically recognizes revenue from media content sales ratably over the period of the service contract. The accounting estimates related to the recognition of satellite connectivity and media content service sales in results of operations requires the Company to make assumptions about future billing adjustments for disputes with subscribers as well as unauthorized usage. | ||||||||||||
Lease financing. Lease financing consists of sales-type leases primarily of the TracPhone V-IP Series. The Company records the leases at a price typically equivalent to normal selling price and in excess of the cost or carrying amount. Upon delivery, the Company records the present value of all payments under these leases as revenues, and the related costs of the product are charged to cost of sales. Interest income is recognized throughout the lease term (typically three years) using an implicit interest rate. Through December 31, 2014, lease sales have not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. | ||||||||||||
Contracted service sales. The Company engages in contracts for development, production, and services activities related to standard product modification or enhancement, which it accounts for using the proportional performance method of revenue recognition. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. Customer and government-agency contracted engineering service and grant sales under development contracts are recognized primarily under the proportional performance method during the period in which the Company performs the service or development efforts in accordance with the agreement. Services performed under these types of contracts include engineering studies, surveys, building construction, prototype development, and program management. Performance is determined principally by comparing the accumulated costs incurred to date with management’s estimate of the total cost to complete the contracted work. The Company establishes billing terms at the time project deliverables and milestones are agreed. Unbilled revenue recognized in excess of the amounts invoiced to clients are classified within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in the caption “prepaid expenses and other assets.” | ||||||||||||
The use of contract accounting requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenues and costs, including assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the contract, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, and prices for subcontractor services and materials. The risk to the Company on a fixed-price contract is that if estimates to complete the contract change from one period to the next, profit levels will vary from period to period. The Company's estimates are based upon the professional knowledge and experience of its engineers, program managers and other personnel, who review each long-term contract monthly to assess the contract's schedule, performance, technical matters and estimated cost at completion. Changes in estimates are applied when adjustments in estimated contract costs are identified, such revisions may result in current period adjustments to earnings applicable to performance in prior periods. Any advance payments arising from such extended-term development contracts are recorded as deposits. If, in any period, estimated total costs under a contract indicate an expected loss, then such loss is provided for in that period. Through December 31, 2014, contracted service revenue has not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. | ||||||||||||
Product service sales. Product service sales other than under development contracts are recognized when completed services are provided to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company establishes reserves for potential sales returns, credit and allowances, and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and its expectations for the future. Through December 31, 2014, product service sales have not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. | ||||||||||||
Extended warranty sales. The Company sells extended warranty contracts on mobile communications and guidance and stabilization products. Sales under these contracts are recognized ratably over the contract term. Through December 31, 2014, warranty sales have not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. | ||||||||||||
(f) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s mortgage loan approximates fair value based on currently available quoted rates of similarly structured mortgage facilities. See Note 2 for more information on the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities. | ||||||||||||
(g) | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities | |||||||||||
In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, cash in excess of operational needs is invested in money market mutual funds, government agency bonds, United States treasuries, municipal bonds, corporate notes, and certificates of deposit, which are reflected within marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at each balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, all of the Company’s marketable securities have been designated as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | ||||||||||||
The Company reviews investments in debt securities for other than temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than amortized cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it intends to sell the security, whether it expects to recover the credit loss, and if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, compliance with the Company’s investment policy, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end and forecasted performance of the investee. The Company has reviewed its securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and has concluded that no other-than-temporary impairments exist. | ||||||||||||
(h) | Inventories | |||||||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in first-out costing method. The Company provides inventory reserves based on excess and obsolete inventory determined primarily by future demand forecasts. The Company records inventory charges to costs of product sales. | ||||||||||||
(i) | Property and Equipment | |||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The principal lives used in determining the depreciation rates of various assets are: buildings and improvements, 5-40 years; machinery, satellite hubs and equipment, and video-on-demand (VOD) units, 5-10 years; office and computer equipment, 3-7 years; and motor vehicles, 5 years. | ||||||||||||
(j) | Goodwill and Intangible Assets | |||||||||||
The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets are associated with the purchase of Virtek Communication (now known as KVH Industries Norway AS) in September 2010. Headland Media Limited (now known as the KVH Media Group) in May 2013, and Videotel in July 2014. | ||||||||||||
Goodwill is recorded when the consideration for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually, or if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model or other valuation models, such as comparative transactions and market multiples. The impairment test is performed through the application of a two-step process. The first step compares the carrying value of the Company’s reporting units to their estimated fair values as of the test date. If fair value is less than carrying value, a second step is performed to quantify the amount of the impairment, if any. As of August 31, 2014, the Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill at the reporting unit level and, after conducting the first step, determined that it was not necessary to conduct the second step as it concluded that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded their carrying value. Accordingly, the Company determined no adjustment to goodwill was necessary. There were no indicators of potential goodwill impairment noted as of December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||
Intangible assets are comprised of the following, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: | ||||||||||||
Estimated Useful Life | ||||||||||||
Virtek Communication (now KVH Industries Norway AS): | ||||||||||||
Intellectual property | 7 | |||||||||||

Intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. There are no events or changes in circumstances that indicated any of the carrying amounts of the Company’s intangible assets may not be recoverable during 2014. See Note 10 for further discussion of goodwill and intangible assets. | ||||||||||||
(k) | Other Non-Current Assets | |||||||||||
Other non-current assets are primarily comprised of long-term lease receivables, prepaid expenses, and deposits. | ||||||||||||
(l) | Product Warranty | |||||||||||
The Company’s products carry limited warranties that range from one to four years and vary by product. The warranty period begins on the date of retail purchase or lease by the original purchaser. The Company accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale and any additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold or leased, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair. Warranty and related costs are reflected within sales, marketing and support in the accompanying statements of operations. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had accrued product warranty costs of $1,853 and $1,269, respectively. The following table summarizes product warranty activity during 2014 and 2013: | ||||||||||||

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of sales. Billings for shipping and handling are reflected within net sales in the accompanying statements of operations. | ||||||||||||
(n) | Research and Development | |||||||||||
Expenditures for research and development, including customer-funded research and development, are expensed as incurred. Revenue and related development costs from customer-funded research and development are as follows: | ||||||||||||

Customer-funded service sales | $ | 3,806 | $ | 10,302 | $ | 5,470 | ||||||
Customer-funded costs included in costs of service sales | 2,633 | 2,387 | 3,424 | |||||||||
(o) | Advertising Costs | |||||||||||
Costs related to advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $2,825, $3,189, and $2,523 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, and is included in sales, marketing, and support expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. | ||||||||||||
(p) | Foreign Currency Translation | |||||||||||
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries located in Denmark and Singapore are maintained using the United States dollar as the functional currency. Exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction are used to record monetary assets and liabilities. Revenue and other expense elements are recorded at rates that approximate the rates in effect on the transaction dates. Realized foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses are recognized within “other (expense) income” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company experienced foreign currency losses of $126, $123, and $37, respectively. | ||||||||||||
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom, Brazil, Norway, Cyprus, Belgium, the Netherlands and Japan subsidiaries use the foreign subsidiaries’ respective local currencies as the functional currency. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect at year-end. Net sales, costs and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect during the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation are credited or charged to accumulated other comprehensive loss included in stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | ||||||||||||
(q) | Income Taxes | |||||||||||
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. | ||||||||||||
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If it is not more likely than not that a position will be sustained, no amount of the benefit attributable to the position is recognized. The tax benefit to be recognized of any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon resolution of the contingency. See Note 8 for further discussion of income taxes. | ||||||||||||
(r) | Net Income per Common Share | |||||||||||
Basic net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share incorporates the dilutive effect of common stock equivalent options, warrants and other convertible securities, if any, as determined in accordance with the treasury stock accounting method. Common stock equivalents related to options and restricted stock awards for 784,000, 545,000, and 862,000 shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, have been excluded from the fully diluted calculation of net income per share, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive. | ||||||||||||
A reconciliation of the basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding is as follows: | ||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||
Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic | 15,420 | 15,144 | 14,777 | |||||||||
Dilutive common shares issuable in connection with stock plans | 185 | 197 | 242 | |||||||||
Weighted average common shares outstanding—diluted | 15,605 | 15,341 | 15,019 | |||||||||
(s) | Contingent Liabilities | |||||||||||
The Company estimates the amount of potential exposure it may have with respect to claims, assessments and litigation in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was not party to any lawsuit or proceeding that, in management’s opinion, was likely to materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, as described in Note 17. It is not always possible to predict the outcome of litigation, as it is subject to many uncertainties. Additionally, it is not always possible for management to make a meaningful estimate of the potential loss or range of loss associated with such litigation. As of December 31, 2014, no losses have been accrued with respect to pending litigation. | ||||||||||||
(t) | Operating Segments | |||||||||||
The Company operates in a single segment. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the chief operating decision maker has made such decisions and assessed performance at the company level, as one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. | ||||||||||||
(u) Film Production Costs | ||||||||||||
The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the production of its training videos, such as writing, directing, narrating, casting, location rental, and editing. These film costs are classified as a non-current asset on its consolidated balance sheet and are placed into service upon the film title being released and available for customers' use. The Company’s sales model associated with training is subscription-based, in which fees from third parties are not directly attributable to the exhibition of a particular film but relate instead to access to the entire film library. Accordingly, management estimates that the straight line method is the most representative method for the amortization of film costs. Consistent with the period over which revenues are assessed (i.e. the subscription period), the film costs are amortized over four years. In the event that the film title is replaced or removed from the film library before the amortization period has expired, all unamortized costs are expensed immediately. | ||||||||||||
(v) Recently Issued Accounting Standards | ||||||||||||
Revenue | ||||||||||||
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), regarding ASC Topic 606 of the same nomenclature. ASU 2014-09 represents the culmination of efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to issue a common revenue standard. When effective, ASU 2014-09 will generally supersede the current revenue guidance included in ASC Topic 605 “Revenue” and its associated Subtopics. The ASU requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of a promised good or service to its customers in an amount that reflects consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such transfer. ASU 2014-09 also specifies accounting for certain costs incurred by an entity to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and provides for enhancements to revenue specific disclosures intended to allow users of the financial statements to clearly understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an Entity’s contracts with its customers. ASU 2014-09 becomes effective for public entities for annual periods, and interim periods within annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The ASU becomes effective for all other entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. | ||||||||||||
Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern | ||||||||||||
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), regarding ASC Topic 205-40 “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, including requiring an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, and requires certain disclosures when there is substantial doubt of the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, whether or not it is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans. ASU 2014-15 becomes effective for the Company for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company does not believe implementation of ASU 2014-15 will have an impact on its financial statement disclosures. | ||||||||||||
Extraordinary and Unusual Items | ||||||||||||
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items” (“ASU 2015-01”), which amends ASC 225-20 “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items” (ASC 225-20). ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from generally accepted accounting principles and also expands the disclosure requirements of items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently. Upon adopting this amended guidance, a material event or transaction that an entity considers to be unusual or infrequent, or both, may still be presented separately but would now be presented on a pretax basis within income from continuing operations or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2015-01 becomes effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe implementation of ASU 2015-01 will have an impact on its financial statement disclosures. |

Term Note and Line of Credit | ||||||||
On July 1, 2014, the Company entered into (i) a five-year senior credit facility agreement (the Credit Agreement) with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the lenders named from time to time as parties thereto (the Lenders), for an aggregate amount of up to $80,000, including a revolving credit facility (the Revolver) of up to $15,000 and a term loan (Term Loan) of $65,000 to be used for general corporate purposes, including both (A) the refinancing of the Company’s $30,000 then-outstanding indebtedness under its previous credit facility and (B) permitted acquisitions, (ii) revolving credit notes (together, the Revolving Credit Note) to evidence the Revolver, (iii) term notes (together, the Term Note, and together with the Revolving Credit Note, the Notes) to evidence the Term Loan, (iv) a Security Agreement (the Security Agreement) required by the Lenders with respect to the grant by the Company of a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company in order to secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and the Notes, and (v) Pledge Agreements (the Pledge Agreements) required by the Lenders with respect to the grant by the Company of a security interest in 65% of the capital stock of each of KVH Industries A/S and KVH Industries U.K. Limited held by the Company in order to secure the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and the Notes. | ||||||||
The $65,000 Term Note was executed on July 1, 2014 in connection with the acquisition of Videotel. See Note 13 below for more information regarding the acquisition. Proceeds in the amount of $35,000 were applied toward the payment of a portion of the purchase price for the acquired shares of Videotel, and proceeds in the amount of approximately $30,000 were applied toward the refinancing of the then-outstanding balance of the Company’s previous credit facility. The Company must make principal repayments on the Term Loan in the amount of approximately $1,200 at the end of each of the first 8 three-month periods following the closing; thereafter, the Company must make principal repayments in the amount of approximately $1,600 for each succeeding three-month period until the maturity of the loan on July 1, 2019. The Company made the first payment on this debt in September 2014. On the maturity date, the entire remaining principal balance of the loan, including any future loans under the Revolver, is due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, penalties, and other amounts due and payable under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains provisions requiring the mandatory prepayment of amounts outstanding under the Term Loan and the Revolver under specified circumstances, including (i) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain dispositions to the extent not reinvested in the Company’s business within a stated period, (ii) 50% of the net cash proceeds from stated equity issuances and (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain receipts of more than $250 outside the ordinary course of business. The prepayments are first applied to the Term Loan, in inverse order of maturity, and then to the Revolver. In the discretion of the Administrative Agent, certain mandatory prepayments made on the Revolver can permanently reduce the amount of credit available under the Revolver. | ||||||||
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at varying rates determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Each LIBOR Rate Loan, as defined in the Credit Agreement, bears interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate or LIBOR Monthly Floating Rate, each as defined in the Credit Agreement, as applicable, plus the Applicable Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and each Base Rate Loan, as defined in the Credit Agreement, bears interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus the Applicable Rate. The Applicable Rate ranges from 1.50% to 2.25%, depending on the Company’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The highest Applicable Rate applies when the Consolidated Leverage Ratio exceeds 2.00:1.00. Upon certain defaults, including failure to make payments when due, interest becomes payable at a higher default rate. | ||||||||
Borrowings under the Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of numerous conditions precedent at the time of each borrowing, including the continued accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties and the absence of any default under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolver. | ||||||||
The Credit Agreement contains two financial covenants, a Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio and a Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, each as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio was initially 2.25:1.00, declined to 1.50:1.00 on December 31, 2014, and declines to 1.00:1.00 on September 30, 2015. The Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.25:1.00 at any time after December 31, 2014. The Company was in compliance with these financial ratio debt covenants as of December 31, 2014. The Credit Agreement imposes certain other affirmative and negative covenants, including without limitation covenants with respect to the payment of taxes and other obligations, compliance with laws, entry into material contracts, creation of liens, incurrence of indebtedness, investments, dispositions, fundamental changes, restricted payments, changes in the nature of the Company’s business, transactions with affiliates, corporate and accounting changes, and sale and leaseback arrangements. | ||||||||
The Company’s obligation to repay loans under the Credit Agreement could be accelerated upon a default or event of default under the terms of the Credit Agreement, including certain failures to pay principal or interest when due, certain breaches of representations and warranties, the failure to comply with the Company’s affirmative and negative covenants under the Credit Agreement, a change of control of the Company, certain defaults in payment relating to other indebtedness, the acceleration of payment of certain other indebtedness, certain events relating to the liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership of the Company, the entry of certain judgments against the Company, certain events relating to the impairment of collateral or the Lenders' security interest therein, and any other material adverse change with respect to the Company. | ||||||||
Mortgage Loan | ||||||||
On April 6, 2009, the Company entered into a mortgage loan in the amount of $4,000 related to its headquarters facility in Middletown, Rhode Island. On June 9, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the mortgage loan. The loan term is ten years, with a principal amortization of 20 years, and the interest rate will be a rate per year adjusted periodically based on a defined interest period equal to the BBA LIBOR Rate plus 2.00 percentage points. Land, building and improvements with an approximate carrying value of $5,000 as of December 31, 2014 secure the mortgage loan. The monthly mortgage payment is approximately $12 plus interest and increases in increments of approximately $1 each year throughout the life of the mortgage. Due to the difference in the term of the loan and amortization of the principal, a balloon payment of $2,551 is due on April 1, 2019. The loan contains one financial covenant, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, which applies in the event that the Company’s consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance falls below $25,000 at any time. As the Company’s consolidated cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance was above the minimum threshold throughout the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio did not apply. Under the mortgage loan, the Company may prepay its outstanding loan balance subject to certain early termination charges as defined in the mortgage loan agreement. If the Company were to default on its mortgage loan, the land, building and improvements would be used as collateral. As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, effective April 1, 2010, in order to reduce the volatility of cash outflows that arise from changes in interest rates, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements that are intended to hedge its mortgage interest obligations by fixing the interest rates specified in the mortgage loan to 5.91% for half of the principal amount outstanding and 6.07% for the remaining half of the principal amount outstanding as of April 1, 2010 until the mortgage loan expires on April 16, 2019. | ||||||||
Equipment Loan | ||||||||
On January 30, 2013, the Company borrowed $4,700 from a bank and pledged as collateral six satellite hubs and related equipment, including three hubs purchased in 2012. The term of the equipment loan is five years, and the loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.76% per annum. The monthly payment is approximately $83, including interest expense. On December 30, 2013, the Company borrowed $1,200 from a bank and pledged as collateral one satellite hub and related equipment. The term of the equipment loan is five years, and the loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.08% per annum. The monthly payment is approximately $21, including interest expense. | ||||||||

(a) | Employee Stock Options | ||||||||||||
Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and generally vest in equal annual amounts over four years beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. No options are exercisable for periods of more than five years after date of grant. Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, each share issued under awards other than options will reduce the number of shares reserved for issuance by two shares. Shares issued under options will reduce the shares reserved for issuance on a share-for-share basis. All plans were approved by the Company’s shareholders, pursuant to which 9,415,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance. As of December 31, 2014, 7,392,732 options and awards to purchase shares of common stock had been issued, net of expired, canceled or forfeited options, and 2,022,268 were available for future grants. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors administers the plan, approves the individuals to whom options will be granted and determines the number of shares and exercise price of each option. Outstanding options under the plan at December 31, 2014 expire from November 2015 through October 2019. None of the Company’s outstanding options includes performance-based or market-based vesting conditions as of December 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||
The Company has estimated the fair value of each option grant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected volatility assumption is based on the historical daily price data of the Company’s common stock over a period equivalent to the weighted average expected life of the Company’s options. The expected term of options granted is derived using assumed exercise rates based on historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate is based on the actual U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates for bonds matching the expected term of the option as of the option grant date. The dividend yield of zero is based upon the fact that the Company has not historically declared or paid cash dividends, and does not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future. | |||||||||||||
The per share weighted-average fair values of stock options granted during 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $4.71, $5.45, and $4.97, respectively. The weighted-average assumptions used to value options as of their grant date were as follows: | |||||||||||||

As of December 31, 2014, there was $2,492 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.33 years. In 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company recorded compensation charges of $1,368, $1,438, and $1,130, respectively, related to stock options. Compensation costs for options subject only to service conditions that vest ratably are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. During 2014, 2013, and 2012, cash received under stock option plans for exercises was $471, $1,344 and $689, respectively. | |||||||||||||
(b) | Restricted Stock | ||||||||||||
The Company granted 265,380, 265,625, and 43,340 restricted stock awards to employees under the terms of the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The restricted stock awards vest annually over four years from the date of grant subject to the recipient remaining an employee through the applicable vesting dates. Compensation expense for restricted stock awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares granted and the quoted market closing price of the Company’s common stock. Such value is recognized as expense over the vesting period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of restricted stock granted during 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $13.57, $13.61, and $12.53 per share, respectively. | |||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, there was $4,034 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.46 years. Compensation costs for awards subject only to service conditions that vest ratably are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Compensation cost for awards initially subject to certain performance conditions are recognized on a ratable basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. In 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company recorded compensation charges of $2,317, $2,613, and $2,495, respectively, related to restricted stock awards. | |||||||||||||

(c) | Employee Stock Purchase Plan | ||||||||||||
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), the Company is authorized to issue up to 650,000 shares of common stock, of which 46,575 shares remain available as of December 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||
The ESPP covers all of the Company’s employees. Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees can elect to have up to six percent of their pre-tax compensation withheld to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on a semi-annual basis. The ESPP allows eligible employees the right to purchase the Company’s common stock on a semi-annual basis at 85% of the market price at the end of each purchase period. During 2014, 2013, and 2012, 12,398, 27,027, and 27,308 shares, respectively, were issued under this plan. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of these discounted purchases. The fair value of the 15% discount is recognized as compensation expense over the purchase period. The Company applies a graded vesting approach because the ESPP provides for multiple purchase periods and is, in substance, a series of linked awards. In 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company recorded compensation charges of $55, $73, and $54, respectively, related to the ESPP. During 2014, 2013, and 2012, cash received under the ESPP was $138, $308, and $270, respectively. |

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had foreign net operating loss carry-forwards available to offset future foreign income of $6,000. The foreign net operating loss carry-forwards have no expiration. | ||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had federal research and development tax credit carry-forwards in the amount of $3,379 that expire in years 2026 through 2034, and foreign tax credit carry-forwards in the amount of $762 that expire in years 2018 through 2024. The Company also had alternative minimum tax credits of $132 that have no expiration date. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had state research and development tax credit carry-forwards in the amount of $3,367 that expire in years 2015 through 2021. The Company also had other state tax credit carry-forwards of $256 available to reduce future state tax expense that expire in years 2015 through 2021. The tax benefit related to $1,702 of federal and state tax credits would result in a credit to additional paid-in capital when these deferred tax assets reduce taxes payable. | ||||||||||||
The Company’s ability to utilize these net operating loss carry-forwards and tax credit carry-forwards may be limited in the future if the Company experiences an ownership change pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. An ownership change occurs when the ownership percentages of 5% or greater stockholders change by more than 50% over a three-year period. | ||||||||||||
In assessing the reliability of its net deferred tax assets, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2014, the Company concluded that a net increase of $1,457 of the valuation allowance was appropriate. As part of the Company’s analysis, the Company evaluated, among other factors, its recent history of generating taxable income and its near-term forecasts of future taxable income. The net increase in valuation allowance of $1,457 is composed of expense of $1,665, a decrease of $223 related to the expiration of previously reserved state tax credit carry-forwards, and an increase of $15 related to the use of net operating loss and credit carryforwards attributed to tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation expense from employee stock compensation awards that existed as of the adoption of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. $1,243 of the valuation allowance is attributable to tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost from employee stock compensation awards that existed as of the adoption of ASC 718. The Company will recognize the net deferred tax asset and corresponding benefit to additional paid-in capital for these windfall tax benefits once such amounts reduce income taxes payable, in accordance with the requirements of ASC 718. | ||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, the Company has not provided for U.S. deferred income taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries of approximately $3,464 since these earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Upon distribution of those earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company will be subject to additional U.S. and state income taxes (less foreign tax credits), as well as withholding taxes in its foreign locations. The amount of taxes attributable to the undistributed earnings is not practicably determinable. | ||||||||||||
The Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions based on management’s assessment of exposure associated with tax deductions, permanent tax differences, and tax credits. The tax reserves are analyzed periodically and adjustments are made as events occur to warrant adjustment to the reserve. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. | ||||||||||||
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the aggregate changes in the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits are summarized as follows: | ||||||||||||

The Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $2,487, $0, and $0 as of December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012. At December 31, 2014, $1,172 represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in a reduction of the Company's effective tax rate. | ||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, the combined amount of accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our tax returns and included in non-current income taxes payable was approximately $1,067. | ||||||||||||
The timing of any resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, as are the amounts and timing of any settlement payment. These events could cause fluctuations in the balance sheet classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities. The Company expects a reduction of approximately $2,684 of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. $2,473 of the expected decrease is attributable to tax positions related to the Videotel acquisition that the Company anticipates will be resolved with taxing authorities during 2015. $211 of the expected decrease is related to temporary differences that the Company anticipates will reverse during 2015. | ||||||||||||
The Company’s tax jurisdictions include the United States, the UK, Denmark, Cyprus, Norway, Brazil, Singapore, Belgium, Bermuda, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Japan. In general, the statute of limitations with respect to the Company's United States federal income taxes has expired for years prior to 2011, and the relevant state and foreign statutes vary. However, preceding years remain open to examination by United States federal and state and foreign taxing authorities to the extent of future utilization of net operating losses and research and development tax credits generated in each preceding year. |

On July 2, 2014, KVH Media Group Limited (KMG UK), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of KVH, entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Nigel Cleave to acquire all of the issued share capital of Super Dragon Limited and Videotel Marine Asia Limited, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $47,446, which excluded $1,719 of cash consideration that was considered deferred compensation in purchase accounting. The Company expensed approximately $400 related to the deferred compensation during the year ended December 31, 2014. Videotel is a maritime training services company headquartered in London that produces and distributes training films and eLearning computer-based training courses to commercial customers in the maritime market. Videotel also has sales offices in Hong Kong and Singapore. The acquisition was consummated on the same day.

The Share Purchase Agreement provides that 10% of the purchase price shall be held in escrow for a period of approximately 21 months after the closing in order to satisfy valid indemnification claims that KMG UK may assert for specified breaches of representations, warranties and covenants. The escrow and holdback amounts of approximately $6,000 were not funded as of December 31, 2014, which have been accrued for in accrued other on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||

The Company's fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is pending completion of several elements, including the finalization of valuations of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and final review by the Company's management. Included in the liabilities is an uncertain tax position liability of approximately $3,800 which was held on Videotel’s balance sheet as of the acquisition date and which the Company is continuing to evaluate. The final determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be based on the established fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. The final determination of the purchase price, fair values and resulting goodwill may differ significantly from what is reflected in the foregoing table. | |||||||||

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||||||||
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: | ||||||||||||||||||
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets are investments in money market mutual funds, government agency bonds, United States treasuries, corporate notes, and certificates of deposit. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2: | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; or observable prices that are based on observable market data, based on directly or indirectly market-corroborated inputs. The Company’s Level 2 assets are investments in municipal bonds and its Level 2 liabilities are interest rate swaps. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, and are developed based on the best information available given the circumstances. The Company has no Level 3 assets. | |||||||||||||||||
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based the valuation techniques identified in the table below. The valuation techniques are: | ||||||||||||||||||
(a) | Market approach—prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. | |||||||||||||||||
(b) | The valuations of the interest rate swaps intended to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk are determined with the assistance of a third-party financial institution using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and interest rate volatility, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity. | |||||||||||||||||
(c) | The valuations of foreign currency forward contracts are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis utilizes observable market-based inputs, including commodity forward curves, and reflects the contractual terms of these instruments, including the period to maturity. | |||||||||||||||||
(d) | The valuations of municipal bonds are determined utilizing standard pricing procedures of the Company’s investment brokerage firm, which include various third-party pricing services. These procedures also require specific price monitoring practices as well as pricing review reports, valuation oversight, and pricing challenge procedures to maintain an accurate representation of investment fair market value. | |||||||||||||||||
The following tables present financial assets and liabilities at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for which the Company measures fair value on a recurring basis, by level, within the fair value hierarchy: | ||||||||||||||||||

Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company's non-financial assets and liabilities, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets resulting from business combinations, are measured at fair value using income approach valuation methodologies at the date of acquisition and subsequently re-measured if there are indicators of impairment. There were no indicators of impairment identified during the year ended December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any other non-financial assets and liabilities that were carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements or for which a fair value measurement was required. |

These interest rate swap agreements are intended to hedge the Company’s mortgage loan related to its headquarters facility in Middletown, Rhode Island by fixing the interest rates specified in the mortgage loan to 5.9% for half of the principal amount outstanding and 6.1% for the remaining half of the principal amount outstanding as of April 1, 2010 until the mortgage loan expires on April 16, 2019. | ||||||||||||||||
As required by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of the derivatives is included in other accrued liabilities and the unrealized loss is included in other comprehensive loss. | ||||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk: | ||||||||||||||||

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation | |||||||||||
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of KVH Industries, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date of this filing. All of the operating expenses of the subsidiaries that serve as the Company’s European, Singaporean, Japanese, and Brazilian international distributors are reflected within sales, marketing, and support within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||||||
Significant Estimates and Assumptions | Significant Estimates and Assumptions | |||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect the Company’s revenue recognition, valuation of accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, assumptions used to determine fair value of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance, stock-based compensation, warranty and accounting for contingencies. | ||||||||||||
Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. | ||||||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk and Single Source Suppliers | Concentration of Credit Risk and Single Source Suppliers | |||||||||||
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The Company is potentially subject to financial instrument concentration of credit risk through its cash, cash equivalent and marketable securities investments. To mitigate these risks the Company maintains cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities with reputable and nationally recognized financial institutions. As of December 31, 2014, $24,513 classified as marketable securities was held by Wells Fargo and substantially all of the cash and cash equivalents were held by Bank of America, N.A. See Note 2 for a description of marketable securities. | ||||||||||||
Trade accounts receivable. Concentrations of risk (see Note 12) with respect to trade accounts receivable are generally limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across several geographic areas. Although the Company does not foresee credit risk associated with these receivables to deviate from historical experience, repayment is dependent upon the financial stability of those individual customers. The Company establishes allowances for potential bad debts and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and its expectations for future collectability concerns. Activity within the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts for the periods presented is as follows: | ||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||||||
Beginning balance | $ | 1,705 | $ | 929 | $ | 623 | ||||||
Additions to sales allowance and bad debt expense | 1,610 | 1,305 | 536 | |||||||||
Deductions (write-offs/recoveries) from reserve | (592 | ) | (529 | ) | (230 | ) | ||||||
Ending balance | $ | 2,723 | $ | 1,705 | $ | 929 | ||||||
Certain components from third parties used in the Company’s products are procured from single sources of supply. The failure of a supplier, including a subcontractor, to deliver on schedule could delay or interrupt the Company’s delivery of products and thereby materially adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results. | ||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||
Product sales. Product sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, goods are shipped, title has passed and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s standard sales terms require that: | ||||||||||||
• | All sales are final; | |||||||||||
• | Terms are generally Net 30; | |||||||||||
• | Shipments are tendered and shipped FOB (or as may be applicable, FCA, or EXW) the Company’s plant or warehouse; and | |||||||||||
• | Title and risk of loss or damage passes to the dealer or distributor at the point of shipment when delivery is made to the possession of the carrier. | |||||||||||
For certain guidance and stabilization product sales, customer acceptance or inspection may be required before title and risk of loss transfers. For those sales, revenue is recognized after transfer of title and risk of loss and after notification of customer acceptance. In certain circumstances customers may request a bill and hold arrangement. Under these bill and hold arrangements, revenue is recognized when the Company has fulfilled all of its performance obligations, the units are segregated and available for shipment in accordance with the defined contract delivery schedule, and the Company has received notification of customer acceptance which transfers title and risk of loss to the customer. | ||||||||||||
Under certain limited conditions, the Company, at its sole discretion, provides for the return of goods. No product is accepted for return and no credit is allowed on any returned product unless the Company has granted and confirmed prior written permission by means of appropriate authorization. The Company establishes reserves for potential sales returns, credits, and allowances, and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and expectations for the future. | ||||||||||||
Multiple-element revenue arrangements. Some of our sales involve multiple-element arrangements that include both hardware-related products and contracted service, or satellite connectivity that are accounted under ASC 605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements. | ||||||||||||
Multiple elements, arrangement consideration is allocated to each element based on the relative selling prices of all of the elements in the arrangement using the fair value hierarchy as required by “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements,” (Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2009-13). The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2009-13 as of January 1, 2010. ASU 2009-13 requires the Company establish VSOE of fair value based upon the price charged when the same element is sold separately or established by management having the relevant pricing authority. When VSOE exists it is used to determine the selling price of a deliverable. When VSOE is not established, the Company attempts to establish the selling price of each element based on TPE. When the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, the Company uses BESP in the allocation of arrangement consideration for the relevant deliverables. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if a product or service was sold on a stand-alone basis. The Company determines BESP for our products and certain services by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, overall market conditions, including geographic or regional-specific market factors and profit objectives for such deliverables. | ||||||||||||
Each deliverable within the Company's multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting under the guidance of ASU 2009-13 if both of the following criteria are met: the delivered item or items have value to the customer on a standalone basis; and for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company. The Company considers a deliverable to have standalone value if the item is sold separately by the Company or another vendor or if the item could be resold by the customer. Further, the Company's revenue arrangements generally do not include a general right of return relative to delivered products. | ||||||||||||
Deliverables not meeting the criteria for being a separate unit of accounting are combined with a deliverable that does meet that criterion. The appropriate allocation of arrangement consideration and recognition of revenue is then determined for the combined unit of accounting. | ||||||||||||
Satellite connectivity and media content sales. Directly sold and re-sold satellite connectivity service for voice, data and Internet is recognized monthly based upon minutes or megabytes of traffic processed or contracted fixed fee schedules. Typically, all subscribers enter into a contracted one-year minimum service agreement. The Company records all satellite connectivity service sales to subscribers as gross sales, as the Company is the primary obligor in the contracted service arrangement. All associated regulatory service fees and costs are recorded net in the consolidated financial statements. Media content sales include the Company's distribution of commercially licensed news, sports, movies and music content for commercial and leisure customers in the maritime, hotel, and retail markets as well as training videos to the merchant marine market that are typically based on a contracted fixed fee schedule. The Company typically recognizes revenue from media content sales ratably over the period of the service contract. The accounting estimates related to the recognition of satellite connectivity and media content service sales in results of operations requires the Company to make assumptions about future billing adjustments for disputes with subscribers as well as unauthorized usage. | ||||||||||||
Lease financing. Lease financing consists of sales-type leases primarily of the TracPhone V-IP Series. The Company records the leases at a price typically equivalent to normal selling price and in excess of the cost or carrying amount. Upon delivery, the Company records the present value of all payments under these leases as revenues, and the related costs of the product are charged to cost of sales. Interest income is recognized throughout the lease term (typically three years) using an implicit interest rate. Through December 31, 2014, lease sales have not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. | ||||||||||||
Contracted service sales. The Company engages in contracts for development, production, and services activities related to standard product modification or enhancement, which it accounts for using the proportional performance method of revenue recognition. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. Customer and government-agency contracted engineering service and grant sales under development contracts are recognized primarily under the proportional performance method during the period in which the Company performs the service or development efforts in accordance with the agreement. Services performed under these types of contracts include engineering studies, surveys, building construction, prototype development, and program management. Performance is determined principally by comparing the accumulated costs incurred to date with management’s estimate of the total cost to complete the contracted work. The Company establishes billing terms at the time project deliverables and milestones are agreed. Unbilled revenue recognized in excess of the amounts invoiced to clients are classified within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in the caption “prepaid expenses and other assets.” | ||||||||||||
The use of contract accounting requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenues and costs, including assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the contract, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, and prices for subcontractor services and materials. The risk to the Company on a fixed-price contract is that if estimates to complete the contract change from one period to the next, profit levels will vary from period to period. The Company's estimates are based upon the professional knowledge and experience of its engineers, program managers and other personnel, who review each long-term contract monthly to assess the contract's schedule, performance, technical matters and estimated cost at completion. Changes in estimates are applied when adjustments in estimated contract costs are identified, such revisions may result in current period adjustments to earnings applicable to performance in prior periods. Any advance payments arising from such extended-term development contracts are recorded as deposits. If, in any period, estimated total costs under a contract indicate an expected loss, then such loss is provided for in that period. Through December 31, 2014, contracted service revenue has not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. | ||||||||||||
Product service sales. Product service sales other than under development contracts are recognized when completed services are provided to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company establishes reserves for potential sales returns, credit and allowances, and evaluates, on a monthly basis, the adequacy of those reserves based upon historical experience and its expectations for the future. Through December 31, 2014, product service sales have not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. | ||||||||||||
Extended warranty sales. The Company sells extended warranty contracts on mobile communications and guidance and stabilization products. Sales under these contracts are recognized ratably over the contract term. Through December 31, 2014, warranty sales have not been a significant portion of the Company’s total sales. | ||||||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s mortgage loan approximates fair value based on currently available quoted rates of similarly structured mortgage facilities. See Note 2 for more information on the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities. | ||||||||||||
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities | |||||||||||
In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, cash in excess of operational needs is invested in money market mutual funds, government agency bonds, United States treasuries, municipal bonds, corporate notes, and certificates of deposit, which are reflected within marketable securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at each balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, all of the Company’s marketable securities have been designated as available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | ||||||||||||
The Company reviews investments in debt securities for other than temporary impairment whenever the fair value of an investment is less than amortized cost and evidence indicates that an investment’s carrying amount is not recoverable within a reasonable period of time. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers whether it intends to sell the security, whether it expects to recover the credit loss, and if it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, compliance with the Company’s investment policy, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year-end and forecasted performance of the investee. The Company has reviewed its securities with unrealized losses as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and has concluded that no other-than-temporary impairments exist. | ||||||||||||
Inventories | Inventories | |||||||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in first-out costing method. The Company provides inventory reserves based on excess and obsolete inventory determined primarily by future demand forecasts. The Company records inventory charges to costs of product sales. | ||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment | |||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The principal lives used in determining the depreciation rates of various assets are: buildings and improvements, 5-40 years; machinery, satellite hubs and equipment, and video-on-demand (VOD) units, 5-10 years; office and computer equipment, 3-7 years; and motor vehicles, 5 years. | ||||||||||||
Goodwill and Long-lived Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets | |||||||||||
The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets are associated with the purchase of Virtek Communication (now known as KVH Industries Norway AS) in September 2010. Headland Media Limited (now known as the KVH Media Group) in May 2013, and Videotel in July 2014. | ||||||||||||
Goodwill is recorded when the consideration for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment at least annually, or if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company estimates the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model or other valuation models, such as comparative transactions and market multiples. The impairment test is performed through the application of a two-step process. The first step compares the carrying value of the Company’s reporting units to their estimated fair values as of the test date. If fair value is less than carrying value, a second step is performed to quantify the amount of the impairment, if any. As of August 31, 2014, the Company performed its annual impairment test for goodwill at the reporting unit level and, after conducting the first step, determined that it was not necessary to conduct the second step as it concluded that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded their carrying value. Accordingly, the Company determined no adjustment to goodwill was necessary. There were no indicators of potential goodwill impairment noted as of December 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||
Intangible assets are comprised of the following, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives: | ||||||||||||
Estimated Useful Life | ||||||||||||
Virtek Communication (now KVH Industries Norway AS): | ||||||||||||
Intellectual property | 7 | |||||||||||

Favorable lease | 5 | |||||||||||
Intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets with estimated lives and other long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If these comparisons indicate that an asset is not recoverable, the Company will recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the related estimated fair value. Estimated fair value is based on either discounted future operating cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. There are no events or changes in circumstances that indicated any of the carrying amounts of the Company’s intangible assets may not be recoverable during 2014. See Note 10 for further discussion of goodwill and intangible assets. | ||||||||||||
Other Non-Current Assets | Other Non-Current Assets | |||||||||||
Other non-current assets are primarily comprised of long-term lease receivables, prepaid expenses, and deposits. | ||||||||||||
Product Warranty | Product Warranty | |||||||||||
The Company’s products carry limited warranties that range from one to four years and vary by product. The warranty period begins on the date of retail purchase or lease by the original purchaser. The Company accrues estimated product warranty costs at the time of sale and any additional amounts are recorded when such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold or leased, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs and the cost per repair. Warranty and related costs are reflected within sales, marketing and support in the accompanying statements of operations. | ||||||||||||
Shipping and Handling Cost | Shipping and Handling Costs | |||||||||||
Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and included in cost of sales. Billings for shipping and handling are reflected within net sales in the accompanying statements of operations. | ||||||||||||
Research and Development | Research and Development | |||||||||||
Expenditures for research and development, including customer-funded research and development, are expensed as incurred. | ||||||||||||
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs | |||||||||||
Costs related to advertising are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $2,825, $3,189, and $2,523 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, and is included in sales, marketing, and support expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. | ||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Translations | Foreign Currency Translation | |||||||||||
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries located in Denmark and Singapore are maintained using the United States dollar as the functional currency. Exchange rates in effect on the date of the transaction are used to record monetary assets and liabilities. Revenue and other expense elements are recorded at rates that approximate the rates in effect on the transaction dates. Realized foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses are recognized within “other (expense) income” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company experienced foreign currency losses of $126, $123, and $37, respectively. | ||||||||||||
The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom, Brazil, Norway, Cyprus, Belgium, the Netherlands and Japan subsidiaries use the foreign subsidiaries’ respective local currencies as the functional currency. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries at the exchange rates in effect at year-end. Net sales, costs and expenses are translated using average exchange rates in effect during the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation are credited or charged to accumulated other comprehensive loss included in stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | ||||||||||||
Income Tax | Income Taxes | |||||||||||
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. | ||||||||||||
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records valuation allowances to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. If it is not more likely than not that a position will be sustained, no amount of the benefit attributable to the position is recognized. The tax benefit to be recognized of any tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon resolution of the contingency. See Note 8 for further discussion of income taxes. | ||||||||||||
Net Income (Loss) per Common Share | Net Income per Common Share | |||||||||||
Basic net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share incorporates the dilutive effect of common stock equivalent options, warrants and other convertible securities, if any, as determined in accordance with the treasury stock accounting method. | ||||||||||||
Contingent Liabilities | Contingent Liabilities | |||||||||||
The Company estimates the amount of potential exposure it may have with respect to claims, assessments and litigation in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was not party to any lawsuit or proceeding that, in management’s opinion, was likely to materially harm the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows, as described in Note 17. It is not always possible to predict the outcome of litigation, as it is subject to many uncertainties. Additionally, it is not always possible for management to make a meaningful estimate of the potential loss or range of loss associated with such litigation. As of December 31, 2014, no losses have been accrued with respect to pending litigation | ||||||||||||
Operating Segments | Operating Segments | |||||||||||
The Company operates in a single segment. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the chief operating decision maker has made such decisions and assessed performance at the company level, as one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. | ||||||||||||
Film Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block] | (u) Film Production Costs | |||||||||||
The Company capitalizes direct costs incurred in the production of its training videos, such as writing, directing, narrating, casting, location rental, and editing. These film costs are classified as a non-current asset on its consolidated balance sheet and are placed into service upon the film title being released and available for customers' use. The Company’s sales model associated with training is subscription-based, in which fees from third parties are not directly attributable to the exhibition of a particular film but relate instead to access to the entire film library. Accordingly, management estimates that the straight line method is the most representative method for the amortization of film costs. Consistent with the period over which revenues are assessed (i.e. the subscription period), the film costs are amortized over four years. In the event that the film title is replaced or removed from the film library before the amortization period has expired, all unamortized costs are expensed immediately | ||||||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Standards | |||||||||||
Revenue | ||||||||||||
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), regarding ASC Topic 606 of the same nomenclature. ASU 2014-09 represents the culmination of efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) to issue a common revenue standard. When effective, ASU 2014-09 will generally supersede the current revenue guidance included in ASC Topic 605 “Revenue” and its associated Subtopics. The ASU requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of a promised good or service to its customers in an amount that reflects consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for such transfer. ASU 2014-09 also specifies accounting for certain costs incurred by an entity to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and provides for enhancements to revenue specific disclosures intended to allow users of the financial statements to clearly understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an Entity’s contracts with its customers. ASU 2014-09 becomes effective for public entities for annual periods, and interim periods within annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The ASU becomes effective for all other entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. | ||||||||||||

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”), regarding ASC Topic 205-40 “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, including requiring an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, and requires certain disclosures when there is substantial doubt of the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, whether or not it is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans. ASU 2014-15 becomes effective for the Company for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early application permitted. The Company does not believe implementation of ASU 2014-15 will have an impact on its financial statement disclosures. | ||||||||||||
Extraordinary and Unusual Items | ||||||||||||
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items” (“ASU 2015-01”), which amends ASC 225-20 “Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items” (ASC 225-20). ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from generally accepted accounting principles and also expands the disclosure requirements of items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently. Upon adopting this amended guidance, a material event or transaction that an entity considers to be unusual or infrequent, or both, may still be presented separately but would now be presented on a pretax basis within income from continuing operations or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2015-01 becomes effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and may be applied retrospectively or prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe implementation of ASU 2015-01 will have an impact on its financial statement disclosures. |
