Our consolidated balance sheets include cash held for customers and a liability for the same amount. Cash held for customers and the related customer account liabilities arise from certain payment transactions we process on behalf of customers where we collect and hold customer funds for a short transient period before disbursing the cash and settling the liability. Cash we hold on behalf of customers is segregated from our other corporate cash accounts and is not available for use by us.
Defined Benefit Plan Expenses:In March 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that changes the income statement presentation of defined benefit plan expense by requiring separation between operating expense (the service cost component) andnon-operating expense (all other components of net periodic defined benefit cost). Under the revised standard, the service cost component is classified consistently with other compensation costs, while all other components are reported in other income and expense. We adopted this standard retrospectively on July 1, 2018 and reclassified approximately $0.2 million from income from operations to other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2017 in our consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted
Leases:In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires balance sheet recognition of a lease liability and a correspondingright-of-use asset for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. The pattern of recognition of lease related revenue and expenses will be dependent on its classification. The updated standard requires additional financial statement disclosures. We will adopt this standard on July 1, 2019. We anticipate that the standard will have a material impact to our consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities and additional disclosures. We are able to adopt the standard using either a modified retrospective method or recording a cumulative effect of adoption on the adoption date (July 1, 2019).
Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that introduces a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate historical information, current information and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This standard also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This standard is effective for us on July 1, 2020, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the anticipated impact of this standard on our financial statements as well as timing of adoption.
Goodwill Impairment:In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to simplify the test for goodwill impairment which removes step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the revised standard, an entity will perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard is effective for us on July 1, 2020 on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017. We do not currently intend to early adopt this standard and we do not currently expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Share-Based Compensation—Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting:In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees. Under the revised standard, measurement of nonemployee awards will be fixed at the grant date by estimating the fair value of the equity instruments to be issued. Additionally, during the vesting period, nonemployee awards that contain a performance condition that affects the quantity or other terms of the award are measured based on the probable outcome. Upon adoption, entities must recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the annual period of adoption for equity-classified nonemployee awards for which a measurement date has not been established and liability-classified nonemployee awards that have not been settled. This standard is effective for us on July 1, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our financial statements.
Note 3—Revenue Recognition
Significant Accounting Policy
Effective July 1, 2018, we adopted a new accounting standard related to revenue recognition on a modified retrospective basis to all open contracts. Other than changes in our accounting policies for revenue recognition and deferred contract costs due to the adoption of this standard, there have been no significant changes to our accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenue from the sale of SaaS or cloud based services inclusive of both fixed and usage-based fees, perpetual and term software licenses, professional services such as consulting and implementation services, software support and maintenance and, to a lesser extent, through the sale of hardware and supplies. We recognize revenue as we transfer goods and services to customers, at amounts we expect to receive as consideration under enforceable contractual arrangements. Revenue is recognized as we satisfy contractual performance obligations, which can occur either at a point in time or over time. For perpetual and term software licenses that do not involve significant customization and for equipment and supplies sales, we normally record revenue at a point in time. For professional services, support and maintenance, stand-ready performance obligations with respect to our hosted or SaaS solutions and for software licenses that are dependent on significant customization by us we normally record revenue over time.
