The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on March 27, 2003. Unaudited Interim Financial Statements The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (‘‘GAAP’’) on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017, or any other future interim or annual period. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 15, 2017. The December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Basis of Presentation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Segment Reporting 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, the Chief Executive Officer, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as one operating segment. Concentrations of Risk The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from revenue earned from its worldwide network of independent dealers and distributors. The Company’s sales to dealers and distributors located outside the United States are generally denominated in U.S. dollars, except for sales to dealers and distributors located in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and the European Union, which are generally denominated in pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, and euros, respectively. There were no individual account balances greater than 10% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. No dealer or distributor accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. While the Company partners with many manufacturers, in many cases one manufacturer is our sole source for a particular product or product family. A significant disruption in the operations of one of these manufacturers would impact the production of the Company’s products for a substantial period of time, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Geographic Information The Company’s revenue includes amounts earned through sales to dealers and distributors located outside of the United States. There was no single foreign country that accounted for more than 10% of total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. The following table sets forth revenue from U.S., Canadian and all other international dealers and distributors combined (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Revenue-United States $ 44,839 $ 39,670 $ 122,993 $ 108,506 Revenue-Canada 5,403 4,246 14,911 11,355 Revenue-all other international sources 14,500 11,269 38,482 31,574 Total revenue $ 64,742 $ 55,185 $ 176,386 $ 151,435 International revenue (excluding Canada) as a percent of total revenue % % % % Use of Accounting Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, sales returns, provisions for doubtful accounts, product warranty, inventory obsolescence, litigation, determination of fair value of stock options, deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income taxes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Limited Product Warranties The Company provides its customers a limited product warranty of two, three, or ten years depending on product type and brand. The limited product warranties require the Company, at its option, to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer or refund the purchase price. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred to replace, repair or issue a refund for defective products and records a reserve at the time revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the cost of the products sold, the Company’s historical experience, and management’s judgment regarding anticipated rates of product warranty returns, net of refurbished products. The Company assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability each period and makes adjustments to the liability as necessary. Warranty costs accrued include amounts accrued for products at the time of shipment, adjustments for changes in estimated costs for warranties on products shipped in the period, and changes in estimated costs for warranties on products shipped in prior periods. It is not practicable for the Company to determine the amounts applicable to each of these components. The following table presents the changes in the product warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (in thousands): Warranty Liability Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 1,945 Warranty costs accrued 2,854 Warranty claims (2,509) Balance at September 30, 2017 $ 2,290 Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period that have a dilutive effect on net income per share. Potentially dilutive common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and settlement of restricted stock units. The following table presents the reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Numerator: Net income $ 5,185 $ 1,777 $ 9,921 $ 8,940 Denominator: Weighted average common stock outstanding for basic net income per common share 25,050 23,424 24,551 23,307 Effect of dilutive securities—stock options and restricted stock units 2,072 1,106 1,842 842 Weighted average common shares and dilutive securities outstanding 27,122 24,530 26,393 24,149 Potentially dilutive securities, including common equivalent shares, in which the assumed proceeds exceed the average market price of common stock for the applicable period, were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive. The following weighted-average common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Options to purchase common stock 23 2,221 881 2,490 Restricted stock units — — 6 23 Total 23 2,221 887 2,513 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “ Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. The amendments in this update simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. This update is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing after January 1, 2017. The Company notes that this guidance applies to its reporting requirements and will implement the new guidance accordingly in performing goodwill impairment testing; however, the Company does not believe this update will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “ Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, ” which narrows the definition of a business. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance will impact the Company’s acquisitions beginning January 1, 2018 and could cause fewer acquired sets of assets to be identified as a business. In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash ,” which provides amendments to current guidance to address the classifications and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The effective date for the standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. Upon the adoption of this standard, the Company will combine restricted cash with unrestricted cash and cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory .” The amendments in this update will require recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “ Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ,” which clarifies how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance must be applied using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)” which introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments within its scope. The new guidance introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. For trade receivables, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019, including interim periods within those years. Early application of the guidance is permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including the interim periods within those fiscal years. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting . ” The amendments in this update simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2017. The primary impact of adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes rather than paid-in capital of $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. However, as the Company has a full valuation allowance against its domestic net deferred tax asset, a corresponding adjustment was recorded to increase the valuation allowance by $9.6 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $20.6 million and $17.6 million of gross federal and state net operating losses (“NOLs”), respectively, attributable to excess windfall benefits from share-based compensation. As a result of the adoption of this new standard, on January 1, 2017, the Company increased its net deferred tax asset for NOL carryforwards, with an offsetting cumulative effect of adoption adjustment to accumulated deficit, in the amount of $7.7 million. A corresponding adjustment was recorded to increase the valuation allowance by $7.7 million with an offsetting adjustment to accumulated deficit, resulting in no net impact to the financial statements. In addition, the Company has elected to apply the presentation requirements for cash flows related to excess tax benefits retrospectively which had no impact on the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Further, under the provisions of ASU 2016-09, the Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur to determine the amount of compensation cost to be recognized in each period. This resulted in an increase of $0.3 million to accumulated deficit with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital on January 1, 2017. The amendment related to the accounting for minimum statutory withholding requirements had no impact on retained earnings as of January 1, 2017. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “ Leases (Topic 842 ) ,” which supersedes the guidance in ASC 840, “Leases .” The purpose of the new standard is to improve transparency and comparability related to the accounting and reporting of leasing arrangements. The guidance will require balance sheet recognition for assets and liabilities associated with rights and obligations created by leases with terms greater than twelve months. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Modified retrospective application is required. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which amends the guidance in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, deferring the effective date of this standard for one year, and it is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company does not plan to early adopt, and accordingly, will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method). The Company plans to adopt the standard using the full retrospective method to restate each prior reporting period presented. The Company’s ability to adopt using the full retrospective method is dependent on completion of the analysis of information necessary to restate prior period financial statements. The Company has reached conclusions on key provisions of this standard as it relates to the sale of the Company’s products to dealers, retailers and distributors. The Company is in the process of finalizing revenue recognition policies under the new standard and will be calculating the expected impact during the final quarter of 2017. The Company is making progress on its assessment of the impact of this new standard as it relates to other ancillary revenue streams such as software licenses, subscription services, and third-party products sold through an online dealer portal. As these revenue streams represented less than 5% of overall revenue in 2016, the results of this assessment are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
