Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s fiscal 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2016. Basis of consolidation and presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly‑owned subsidiaries, Xplore Technologies Corporation of America and Xplore Technologies International Corp. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Estimates are deemed critical when a different estimate could have reasonably been used or where changes in the estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, and would materially impact the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the estimates, including those related to its revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, warranty reserves, tooling amortization, financial instruments, stock‑based compensation and income taxes. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions. Motion Acquisition On April 16, 2015, Xplore Technologies Corporation of America, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Foreclosure Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with Motion Computing, Inc., Motion Computing Pty, Ltd., Motion Computing Holding Company, Inc. (collectively “Motion”) and Square 1 Bank, Motion’s senior secured lender (“Square 1”), pursuant to which the Company’s subsidiary agreed to purchase certain of the assets of Motion, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, personal property and other assets of Motion for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9 million in cash, plus the assumption of approximately $6 million in certain liabilities, net of current assets, subject to the terms and conditions thereof (the “Motion Acquisition”). The assumed liabilities include certain accounts payable and obligations for service contracts and product warranties. The closing of the Motion Acquisition occurred on April 17, 2015. The Motion Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic No. 805 Business Combinations (ASC 805). The total purchase price for the Motion assets was approximately $9 million and was comprised of cash consideration paid by the Company to Square 1. Under the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, the total estimated purchase price of the acquired company is allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The Company has made significant estimates and assumptions in determining the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. The preliminary allocation of purchase consideration is subject to change based on further review of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table is the final allocation of the purchase price (in thousands, except years): Fair Value Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (In Years) Cash and cash equivalents $ 653 Accounts receivable 7,383 Inventory 6,101 Other assets 7 Fixed assets 470 3 Goodwill 15,159 Identifiable intangible assets 2,130 6 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (14,092 ) Deferred revenue (8,732 ) Total purchase price $ 9,079 Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration given over the fair value of the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination and the potential synergy of combining the operations of the Company and Motion. The Company expects the entire amount of goodwill recorded in this acquisition will be deducted for tax purposes ratably over a 15 year period. The identified intangible assets consist of trademarks, copyrights, and developed technology, including patents. The estimated fair values of the trademark, copyrights and developed technology were determined using the “Relief from Royalty” method. Trademark, developed technology, non-compete and customer relationship will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company expects the amortization of acquired intangibles will be approximately $400 per year for the remaining estimated useful lives. Goodwill and other intangible assets Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets received attributable to business acquisitions and combinations. Goodwill and other intangible assets are measured for impairment at least annually and/or whenever events and circumstances arise that indicate impairment may exist, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate. In assessing the value of goodwill, assets and liabilities are assigned to the reporting units and the appropriate valuation methodologies are used to determine fair value at the reporting unit level. Identified intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives which are estimated to be between three and seven years. Long-lived asset impairment Long-lived assets include property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets. Definite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade names and non-compete agreements. Long-lived assets are measured for impairment at least annually and/or whenever events and circumstances arise that indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Cash and cash equivalents and liquidity At June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,418, working capital of approximately $15,820 and total equity of approximately $29,616. The Company’s management believes that it has adequate cash and cash equivalents on hand and projected cash flow from operations to finance its operations for at least 12 months. Foreign Currency Transactions The Company does enter into transactions that are settled in a foreign currency. The transactions are recorded in U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate in effect at the time a transaction is initiated. When a transaction is settled, the foreign currency received to settle the transaction is converted to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate in effect at the time of settlement. A realized foreign currency exchange gain or loss is recorded based on the difference in the exchange rate in effect when a transaction is initiated, and the exchange rate in effect when a transaction is settled. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 the Company reported a loss in foreign currency transactions of $83 and a gain in foreign currency transactions of $76, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended the existing accounting standards for employee share-based payment arrangements. The amendments require all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with share-based payments to be recognized as income tax expense or income tax benefit, respectively, rather than as additional paid-in capital. The amendments also increase the amount an employer can withhold in order to cover income taxes on awards, allows companies to recognize forfeitures of awards as they occur, and requires companies to present excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of these amendments on its Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. In February 2016, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for leases. The amendments require lessees to record, at lease inception, a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on their balance sheets. Lessees may elect to not recognize lease liabilities and ROU assets for most leases with terms of 12 months or less. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The ROU asset will be based on the liability, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, and the lessee's initial direct costs. For finance leases, lease expense will be the sum of interest on the lease obligation and amortization of the ROU asset, resulting in a front-loaded expense pattern. For operating leases, lease expense will generally be recognized on a straight-line basis. The amended lessor accounting model is similar to the current model, updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue standard. The current sale-leaseback guidance, including guidance applicable to real estate, is also replaced with a new model for both lessees and lessors. The Company is required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and the impact of these amendments on its Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. |
