Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Company Description Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as Replidyne, Inc. (“Replidyne”) in Delaware in 2000 . On February 25, 2009, Replidyne completed its business combination with Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of November 3, 2008. At the effective time of the merger, Replidyne changed its name to Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. The Company develops, manufactures and markets devices for the treatment of vascular diseases. The Company’s peripheral arterial disease (“PAD”) products, the Diamondback 360 ® Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System (“OAS”) and the Stealth 360° ® Peripheral OAS, are catheter-based platforms capable of treating a broad range of plaque types, including calcified plaque, in leg arteries both above and below the knee, and address many of the limitations associated with other surgical, catheter and pharmacological treatment alternatives. These devices use smaller access sheaths that can provide procedural benefits and allow physicians to treat PAD patients in a variety of vessel sizes, including the small and tortuous vessels located below the knee through alternative access sites in the ankle and foot as well as in the groin. In October 2013, the Company received premarket approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to market the Diamondback 360 ® Coronary OAS as a treatment for severely calcified coronary arteries. In March 2017, the Company received approval from the FDA to market the Diamondback 360 ® Coronary OAS Micro Crown. The Coronary OAS Micro Crown is the only atherectomy device designed to treat both pilot tight, calcific lesions and treat 2.5 to 4mm vessels with a single device. The Company is currently selling only in the United States. In November 2016, the Company signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Medikit Co., Ltd. (“Medikit”) to sell its Diamondback 360 ® Coronary and Peripheral OAS in Japan. In March 2017, the Company received approval from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare for its Diamondback 360 ® Coronary OAS Micro Crown. Pending reimbursement approval, Japan would become the first international market for any of the Company’s products. The Company is currently evaluating options for additional international markets to expand the coronary and peripheral opportunities. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, after elimination of all intercompany transactions and accounts. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all money market funds and other investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Customer credit terms are established prior to shipment with the general standard being net 30 days. Collateral or any other security to support payment of these receivables generally is not required. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is an estimate regularly evaluated by the Company for adequacy by taking into consideration factors such as past experience, credit quality of the customer base, age of the receivable balances, both individually and in the aggregate, and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay. Provisions for the allowance for doubtful accounts attributed to bad debt are recorded in general and administrative expenses. The following table shows the allowance for doubtful accounts activity: Amount Balances at June 30, 2014 $ 451 Provision for doubtful accounts 1,121 Write-offs (135 ) Balance at June 30, 2015 1,437 Provision for doubtful accounts 375 Write-offs (1,100 ) Balance at June 30, 2016 712 Provision for doubtful accounts 465 Write-offs (313 ) Balance at June 30, 2017 $ 864 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a first-in, first-out method of valuation. The establishment of inventory allowances for excess and obsolete inventories is based on estimated exposure on specific inventory items. We write down our inventories as we become aware of any situation where the carrying amount exceeds the estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future demands and market conditions. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 40 years for the building; five to seven years for production equipment and furniture and fixtures; three years for computer equipment and software; and the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease term for leasehold improvements. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals and betterments that do not extend or improve the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. All other expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. The assets and related depreciation accounts are adjusted for property retirements and disposals with the resulting gains or losses included in the consolidated statement of operations. Patents The capitalized costs incurred to obtain patents are amortized using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated lives. Patent amortization begins at the time of patent application approval, and does not exceed 20 years. The recoverability of capitalized patent costs is dependent upon the Company’s ability to derive revenue-producing products from such patents or the ultimate sale or licensing of such patent rights. Patent recoverability is regularly reviewed and any patents that are abandoned are written off at the time of abandonment. Long-Lived Assets The Company regularly evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or that the remaining estimated useful life should be changed. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the anticipated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss to be recorded, if any, is calculated by the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Operating Leases The Company leases its Texas manufacturing facilities under an operating lease agreement. The lease contains rent escalation clauses for which the lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Rent expense that is recognized but not yet paid is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Financing Obligation In March 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to lease the Minnesota facility. The Lease Agreement has an initial term of fifteen years, with four consecutive renewal options of five years each at the Company's option. As the lease terms resulted in a capital lease classification, the Company accounted for the sale and leaseback of the Minnesota facility as a financing transaction where the assets remain on the Company's balance sheet and a financing obligation was recorded for $20,944. As lease payments are made, they will be allocated between interest expense and a reduction of the financing obligation, resulting in a value of the financing obligation that is equivalent to the net book value of the assets at the end of the lease term. At the end of the lease (including any renewal option terms), the Company will remove the assets and financing obligation from its balance sheet. Revenue Recognition The Company sells the majority of its products via direct shipment to hospitals or clinics. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred; the sales price is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue recognition may occur upon shipment or upon delivery to the customer site, based on the contract terms. The Company records estimated sales returns, discounts and rebates as a reduction of net sales. Costs related to products delivered are recognized in the period the revenue is recognized. Cost of goods sold consists primarily of raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Warranty Costs The Company provides its customers with the right to receive a replacement if a product is determined to be defective at the time of shipment. Warranty reserve provisions are estimated based on Company experience, volume, and expected warranty claims. Warranty reserve, provisions and claims were as follows: Amount Balances at June 30, 2014 $ 116 Provision 377 Claims (367 ) Balance at June 30, 2015 126 Provision 490 Claims (471 ) Balance at June 30, 2016 145 Provision 1,733 Claims (1,361 ) Balance at June 30, 2017 $ 517 Pump Recall In April 2017, the Company initiated a voluntary recall of one type of its saline infusion pumps. The Company is in the process of recalling and replacing approximately 900 units in customer inventory and recorded a reserve for approximately $1,535 of expenses during the year ended June 30, 2017, that included $1,378 of estimated costs related to the recall and replacement of all affected saline infusion pumps, accrued consulting fees, as well as an inventory reserve for pumps held in its inventory. Litigation and Contingent Liabilities The Company and its operations from time to time are, and in the future may be, parties to or targets of lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, which are handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When a single amount cannot be reasonably estimated but the cost can be estimated within a range, the Company accrues an amount based on management’s best estimate considering all facts and circumstances. The Company expenses legal costs, including those expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency, as incurred. Medical Device Excise Tax The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 imposed a medical device excise tax on medical device manufacturers on their sales in the U.S. of certain devices, which was effective January 1, 2013. The excise tax is 2.3% of the taxable base and applies to a substantial majority of the Company’s sales. Effective January 1, 2016, the excise tax was suspended until the end of 2017. For the years ended June 30, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , the Company incurred $0 , $1,273 , and $2,731 of expense, respectively. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Developing a provision for income taxes, including the effective tax rate and the analysis of potential tax exposure items, if any, requires significant judgment and expertise in federal and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred tax assets. The Company’s judgment and tax strategies are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. Accounting guidance requires that accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is recognized in the financial statements. The guidance provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. The guidance also provides rules on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses include costs associated with the design, development, testing, enhancement and regulatory approval of the Company’s products. Research and development expenses include employee compensation (including stock-based compensation), supplies and materials, consulting expenses, patent amortization, travel and facilities overhead. The Company also incurs significant expenses to operate clinical trials, including trial design, third-party fees, clinical site reimbursement, data management and travel expenses. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Expenses associated with patent applications are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over their remaining estimated lives. Patent amortization begins at the time of patent application approval, and does not exceed 20 years . Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash balances primarily with one financial institution. These balances exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes that the credit risk related to marketable securities is limited due to the adherence to an investment policy and that credit risk related to accounts receivable is limited due to a large customer base. Marketable Securities The Company’s marketable securities consist solely of available-for-sale securities and were valued in accordance with the fair value measurement guidance discussed below. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Realized gains and losses, if any, are calculated on the specific identification method and are included in interest and other, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Available-for-sale securities are reviewed for possible impairment at least quarterly, or more frequently if circumstances arise that may indicate impairment. When the fair value of the securities declines below the amortized cost basis, impairment is indicated and it must be determined whether it is other than temporary. Impairment is considered to be other than temporary if the Company: (i) intends to sell the security, (ii) will more likely than not be forced to sell the security before recovering its cost, or (iii) does not expect to recover the security’s amortized cost basis. If the decline in fair value is considered other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is adjusted to its fair market value and the realized loss is reported in earnings. Subsequent increases or decreases in fair value are reported in equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Fair Value Measurements Under the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and financial liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels defined as follows: Level 1 Inputs — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities Level 2 Inputs — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities Level 3 Inputs — unobservable inputs As of June 30, 2017 , the Company believes that the carrying amounts of its other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. See Note 4 for additional information. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and these differences could be material. Stock-Based Compensation The Company has stock-based compensation plans, which include stock options, nonvested share awards, and an employee stock purchase plan. Fair value of option awards is determined using option-pricing models, fair value of nonvested share awards with market conditions is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation, and fair value of nonvested share awards that vest based upon performance or service conditions is determined by the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period for the awards expected to vest. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended revenue recognition guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for the transfer of goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company is working through an adoption plan which will include a review of customer contracts, applying the five-step model of the new standard to the customer contracts and comparing the results to the Company’s current accounting. As part of this, the Company is evaluating the method of adoption and assessing changes that might be necessary to information technology systems, processes, and internal controls to capture new data and address changes in financial reporting. Effective July 1, 2018, the Company will be revising its revenue recognition accounting policy and expanding revenue disclosures to reflect the requirements of the amended revenue recognition guidance. Because of the nature of the work that remains, at this time the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” The guidance requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of the ASU at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is effective for the Company on July 1, 2017. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes.” The guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is effective for the Company on July 1, 2017. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” The guidance requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods, and should be applied using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is effective for the Company on July 1, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the timing, method of adoption and impact of the new lease guidance on its financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation.” The guidance simplifies several aspects related to the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, classification on the statement of cash flows, forfeitures, and statutory withholding requirements. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted and transition requirements vary based on the amendments adopted. The guidance is effective for the Company on July 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the stock compensation guidance on its financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which revises guidance for the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments within its scope. The new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments and modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The guidance is effective for the Company on July 1, 2020. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Scope of Modification Accounting” which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. The new guidance will reduce diversity in practice and result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as modifications. ASU 2017-09 will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not anticipate a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption. |
