Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation | |||
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Otelco Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, all of which are either directly or indirectly wholly owned. These include: Otelco Telecommunications LLC (“OTC”); Otelco Telephone LLC (“OTP”); Hopper Telecommunications LLC (“HTC”); Brindlee Mountain Telephone LLC (“BMTC”); Blountsville Telephone LLC (“BTC”); Otelco Mid-Missouri LLC (“MMT”) and its wholly owned subsidiary I-Land Internet Services LLC; Mid-Maine Telecom LLC (“MMTI”); Mid-Maine TelPlus LLC (“MMTP”); Granby Telephone LLC (“GTT”); War Telephone LLC (“WT”); Pine Tree Telephone LLC (“PTT”); Saco River Telephone LLC (“SRT”); Shoreham Telephone LLC (“ST”); and CRC Communications LLC (“CRC”). | |||
On August 31, 2013, the Company’s former subsidiary, Communications Design Acquisition LLC, was merged with and into CRC, with CRC being the surviving entity in the merger. | |||
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of the aforesaid subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany balances and transactions. The unaudited operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or any other period. | |||
The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The interim consolidated financial information herein is unaudited. The information reflects all adjustments and bankruptcy transactions, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods included in the report. | |||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU requires that an entity 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. This ASU also provides a more robust framework for revenue issues and improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across industries. This ASU was the product of a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017. | |||
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Account for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this ASU provide explicit guidance on whether to treat a performance target as a performance condition that affects vesting or as a non-vesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of an award. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. | |||
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update should help reduce the diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. | |||
Reorganization | |||
On March 24, 2013, the Company and each of its then direct and indirect subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization (the “Reorganization Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) in order to effectuate their prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). On May 6, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan. On May 24, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), the Company substantially consummated its reorganization through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan, and the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms. On August 22, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final decree closing the Reorganization Cases. | |||
When the Plan became effective, the following transactions occurred, among other things: | |||
● | the $162.0 million of outstanding principal term loan obligations under the Company’s credit facility was reduced to $133.3 million through a cash payment of $28.7 million; | ||
● | the maturity of the outstanding principal term loan obligations and any revolving loan obligations under the Company’s credit facility was extended to April 30, 2016; | ||
● | the holders of the outstanding principal term loan obligations under the Company’s credit facility, which outstanding obligations totaled $162.0 million, received their pro rata share of the Company’s new Class B common stock, which new Class B common stock represented 7.5% of the Company’s total economic and voting interests immediately following the effectiveness of the Plan; | ||
● | certain revolving loan commitments under the Company’s credit facility were reinstated, with availability of up to $5 million; | ||
● | the Company’s outstanding senior subordinated notes (“Notes”), which had an aggregate principal amount, including premium, of $109.0 million, were cancelled and the holders of outstanding Notes received their pro rata share of the Company’s new Class A common stock, which new Class A common stock represented 92.5% of the Company’s total economic and voting interests immediately following the effectiveness of the Plan; and | ||
● | the outstanding shares of the Company’s old common stock were cancelled. | ||
As of the Effective Date, a total of 2,870,948 shares of the Company’s new Class A common stock and 232,780 shares of the Company’s new Class B common stock were issued and outstanding, and 232,780 shares of the Company’s new Class A common stock were reserved for the future issuance upon the conversion of the Company’s new Class B common stock. | |||
The Company’s emergence from bankruptcy did not qualify for fresh-start accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 852, Reorganization, as immediately following the effectiveness of the Plan, more than 50% of the Company’s new Class A common stock was held by persons who also held the Company’s old common stock. | |||

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no U.S. federal or state net operating loss carryforwards or alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards. The Company’s U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards available as of December 31, 2013 were $594 thousand and $19.8 million, respectively. Due to the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy during the 2013 tax year, these net operating losses were reduced to zero on January 1, 2014 according to the tax attribute reduction required under Internal Revenue Code §108(b). Additionally, the alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of $769 thousand that was available as of December 31, 2013 was reduced to zero on January 1, 2014 according to the tax attribute reduction required under Internal Revenue Code §108(b). The Company establishes valuation allowances when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no valuation allowance recorded. The valuation allowance recorded during 2013 was reversed on January 1, 2014 when the related tax attributes were reduced to zero. During 2013, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $0.5 million related to the deferred tax asset associated with the federal and state loss carryforwards and a valuation allowance of $0.8 million related to the deferred tax asset associated with the alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards which were not utilized during the tax year ended December 31, 2013. | ||
The effective income tax rate as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 was 5.5% and 38.5%, respectively. The cancellation of debt income in 2013 is non-taxable, and is the primary difference between the 35% federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |||
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This ASU requires that an entity 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. This ASU also provides a more robust framework for revenue issues and improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across industries. This ASU was the product of a joint project between the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017. | |||
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Account for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The amendments in this ASU provide explicit guidance on whether to treat a performance target as a performance condition that affects vesting or as a non-vesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of an award. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. | |||
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update should help reduce the diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. | |||

Reorganization | |||
On March 24, 2013, the Company and each of its then direct and indirect subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization (the “Reorganization Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) in order to effectuate their prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). On May 6, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan. On May 24, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), the Company substantially consummated its reorganization through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan, and the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms. On August 22, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final decree closing the Reorganization Cases. | |||
When the Plan became effective, the following transactions occurred, among other things: | |||
● | the $162.0 million of outstanding principal term loan obligations under the Company’s credit facility was reduced to $133.3 million through a cash payment of $28.7 million; | ||
● | the maturity of the outstanding principal term loan obligations and any revolving loan obligations under the Company’s credit facility was extended to April 30, 2016; | ||
● | the holders of the outstanding principal term loan obligations under the Company’s credit facility, which outstanding obligations totaled $162.0 million, received their pro rata share of the Company’s new Class B common stock, which new Class B common stock represented 7.5% of the Company’s total economic and voting interests immediately following the effectiveness of the Plan; | ||
● | certain revolving loan commitments under the Company’s credit facility were reinstated, with availability of up to $5 million; | ||
● | the Company’s outstanding senior subordinated notes (“Notes”), which had an aggregate principal amount, including premium, of $109.0 million, were cancelled and the holders of outstanding Notes received their pro rata share of the Company’s new Class A common stock, which new Class A common stock represented 92.5% of the Company’s total economic and voting interests immediately following the effectiveness of the Plan; and | ||
● | the outstanding shares of the Company’s old common stock were cancelled. | ||
As of the Effective Date, a total of 2,870,948 shares of the Company’s new Class A common stock and 232,780 shares of the Company’s new Class B common stock were issued and outstanding, and 232,780 shares of the Company’s new Class A common stock were reserved for the future issuance upon the conversion of the Company’s new Class B common stock. | |||
The Company’s emergence from bankruptcy did not qualify for fresh-start accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 852, Reorganization, as immediately following the effectiveness of the Plan, more than 50% of the Company’s new Class A common stock was held by persons who also held the Company’s old common stock. | |||
