Basis of Presentation and Consolidation —The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim periods, under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and on a basis substantially consistent with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods reported and of the Company’s financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional information relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim period or for the entire year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those entities in which it has a controlling interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Tomax Corporation’s results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since January 12, 2015, the date of acquisition (see Note 4, Business Combination, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016). The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016. Changes in Presentation —Changes have been made to the prior period presentation in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. Amounts previously classified as changes in other current liabilities are now included in changes in accrued expenses. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements —In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” ("ASU 2014-09"). The comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance will also require that certain contract costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract, such as sales commissions, be capitalized as an asset and amortized as revenue is recognized. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations” ("ASU 2016-08"), which amends ASU 2014-09 to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. Adoption of the new rules under both ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-08 could affect the timing of both revenue recognition and recognition of contract costs for certain transactions and the presentation of revenue within the financial statements. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption and disclosure of results under the previous standard. For the Company, the new standard will be effective January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption and the implementation approach to be used. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). The updated standard aims to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” ("ASU 2016-09"), which simplifies 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. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement” (“ASU 2015-05”). This standard provides guidance on internal use software to clarify how customers in cloud computing arrangements should determine whether the arrangement includes a software license, which would be accounted for under the Accounting Standards Codification No. 350-40, “Internal-Use Software”. The adoption of ASU 2015-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”). This standard requires an acquirer to recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU 2015-16 also requires separate presentation on the face of the income statement, or disclosure in the notes, of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amount had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The adoption of ASU 2015-16 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
