1. Organization and summary of significant accounting policies | ' |
(a) Organization | |
Lattice Incorporated (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware May 1973 and commenced operations in July 1977. The Company began as a provider of specialized solutions to the telecom industry. Throughout its history Lattice has adapted to the changes in this industry by reinventing itself to be more responsive and open to the dynamic pace of change experienced in the broader converged communications industry of today. Currently Lattice provides advanced solutions for several vertical markets. The greatest change in operations is in the shift from being a component manufacturer to a solution provider focused on developing applications through software on its core platform technology. To further its strategy of becoming a solutions provider, the Company acquired a majority interest in “SMEI” in February 2005. In September 2006 the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Lattice Government Services, Inc., (“LGS”) (formerly Ricciardi Technologies Inc. (“RTI”)). LGS was founded in 1992 and provides software consulting and development services for the command and control of biological sensors and other Department of Defense requirements to United States federal governmental agencies either directly or through prime contractors of such governmental agencies. LGS’s proprietary products include SensorView, which provides clients with the capability to command, control and monitor multiple distributed chemical, biological, nuclear, explosive and hazardous material sensors. In December 2009 we changed RTI’s name to Lattice Government Services Inc. In January 2007, we changed our name from Science Dynamics Corporation to Lattice Incorporated. On May 16, 2011 we acquired 100% of the shares of Cummings Creek Capital, a holding Company which itself owns 100% of the shares of CLR Group Limited. (“CLR”). CLR is a government contractor which complements our Government Services business by expanding markets and service offerings. Together the SMEI, RTI and CLR acquisitions formed our federal government services business unit. Through 2013 we operated in two segments, our federal government services unit and our telecommunication services business. | |
As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on its higher growth potential communications business, the Company decided during the first quarter of 2013 to exit the Government services segment which derived its revenues mainly from contracts with federal government Dept of Defense agencies either as prime contractor or as a subcontractor to another prime contractor. On April 2, 2013, we entered an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Blackwatch International, Inc. (“Blackwatch”), a Virginia corporation, pursuant to which we primarily sold our government Dept. of Defense (DoD) contract vehicles for approximately $1.2 million. These assets essentially comprised our Federal Government services segment operations. The Company retained the residual assets and liabilities of Lattice Government services, Inc. We ceased operations of the federal government business back in April, 2013 coinciding with the sale of assets to Blackwatch. For the period ended March 31, 2013 the financial results of the government services business are being reported as discontinued operations. | |
On November 1, 2013 we purchased certain of assets with Innovisit, LLC. The assets mainly acquired included; awarded contracts, customer lists, and its intellectual property rights to the Video Visitation software assets. Under the agreement, the workforce and operating infrastructure supporting Innovisit’s business operations are being transferred to Lattice, including but not limited to certain employees, and leases. This acquisition complimented the product offering of our telecom services business. | |
(b) Basis of Presentation going concern | |
At March 31, 2014, our working capital deficiency was $3,612,000 which improved from a working capital deficiency of $4,490,000 at December 31, 2013. Cash from operations and available capacity on current credit facilities are insufficient to cover liabilities currently due and the liabilities which will mature over the next twelve months. Additionally, we are past due on payables with trade creditors. We have several payment arrangements in place but face continuing pressures with negotiating payment arrangements with trade creditors regarding overdue payables. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent upon our ability to improve our operating cash flow, maintain our credit lines and secure the full financing objective currently underway. Management is currently engaged in raising capital with a goal of raising approximately $3,600,000, the proceeds of which to be used to improve working capital and strengthen our balance sheet. Securing sufficient capital for our growth strategy may also reduce doubts about our ability to operate as a going concern. During the quarter ended March 31,2014, we have closed on approximately $1,063,000 of equity financing by issuing restricted common stock to accredited investors, have solicited interests for an additional $2,600,000 investment from various investors anticipated to close by June 2014 timeframe. There is no assurance, however, that we will succeed in raising this additional financing and obtain the capital sufficient to provide for all of our liquidity needs. In the event we fail to obtain the additional capital needed and/or restructure our existing debts with current creditors, we may be required to curtail our operations significantly. | |
Our current cash position, availability on our lines of credit and current level of operating cash flow is insufficient to support (i) current working capital requirements (ii) pay the interest costs and principal payments on maturing liabilities, and (iii) provide the additional capital for equipment purchases necessary to support our growth plans. In this regard, we are highly dependent on obtaining the remainder of the targeted financing investment for which we have has been soliciting interest. Also, we remain dependent upon maintaining and increasing our cash flow from operations and maintaining the continuing availability on our lines of credit. There can be no assurances that our businesses will generate sufficient forward operating cash flows, we will be able to obtain the balance of the financing sought, or that future borrowings under our line of credit facilities will be available in an amount sufficient to service our current indebtedness or to fund other liquidity needs. | |
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). | |
(c) Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | |
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair representation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. The consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year end December 31, 2013 appearing in Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014. | |
(d) Principles of consolidation | |
The condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For those consolidated subsidiaries where Company ownership is less than 100%, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as non-controlling interest. Investments in affiliates over which the Company has significant influence but not a controlling interest are carried on the equity basis. | |
(e) Use of estimates | |
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to impairment of goodwill and equity investments, revenue recognition, recoverability of inventory and receivables, the useful lives, long lived assets such as property and equipment, the future realization of deferred income tax benefits and the recording of various accruals. The ultimate outcome and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. | |
(f) Share-based payments | |
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718-10, Accounting for Share-based payment , to account for compensation costs under its stock option plans and other share-based arrangements. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. | |
For purposes of estimating fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, there was approximately $648,000 and $706,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted under the equity compensation plans which do not include the effect of future grants of equity compensation, if any. The $648,000 will be amortized over the weighted average remaining service period. | |
(g) Revenue Recognition | |
Revenues related to collect and prepaid calling services generated by the communication services segment are recognized during the period in which the calls are made. In addition, during the same period, the Company records the related telecommunication costs for validating, transmitting, billing and collection, and line and long distance charges, along with commissions payable to the facilities and allowances for uncollectible calls, based on historical experience. | |
Government claims: Unapproved claims relate to contracts where costs have exceeded the customer’s funded value of the task ordered on our cost reimbursement type contract vehicles. The unapproved claims are considered to be probable of collection and have been recognized as revenue in previous years. Unapproved claims included as a component of our Accounts Receivable totaled approximately $1,244,000 and $1,244,000 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Consistent with industry practice, we classify assets and liabilities related to these claims as current, even though some of these amounts may not be realized within one year. | |
Revenues recognition for Innovisit | |
Revenues from construction contracts are included in contract revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and are recognized under the percentage-of-completion accounting method. The percent complete is measured by the cost incurred to date compared to the estimated total cost of each project. This method is used as management considers expended cost to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts, the majority of which are completed within one year, but may occasionally extend beyond one year. Inherent uncertainties in estimating costs make it at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term and over the life of the contracts. | |
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance and completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. | |
Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which they are determined. An amount equal to contract costs incurred that are attributable to claims is included in revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. | |
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are comprised principally of revenue recognized on contracts (on the percentage-of-completion method) for which billings had not been presented to customers because the amount were not billable under the contract terms at the balance sheet date. In accordance with the contract terms, the unbilled receivables at December 31, 2013 will be billed in 2014. Amounts are billed based on contractual terms. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represent billings in excess of revenues recognized. | |
Service Revenues are recorded when the service is provided and when collection can be reasonably assured | |
(h) Segment Reporting | |
FASB ASC 280-10-50, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company had operated in two segments prior to 2013 but with the decision to focus on the communications business and exit the federal government services business, the Company now operates in one segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014. | |
(i) Depreciation, amortization and long-lived assets: | |
Long-lived assets include: | |
Property, plant and equipment - These assets are recorded at original cost. The Company depreciates the cost evenly over the assets’ estimated useful lives. For tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods are used as allowed by tax laws. | |
Identifiable intangible assets - The Company amortizes the cost of other intangibles over their useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; however, they are tested annually for impairment and written down to fair value as required. | |
(j) Fair Value Disclosures | |
Management believes that the carrying values of financial instruments, including, cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value as a result of the short-term maturities of these instruments. As discussed in Note 1(m), below, derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value. | |
The carrying values of the Company’s long term debts approximates their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rates and terms of such debt to the rates and terms of debt currently available to the Company. | |
(k) Recent accounting pronouncements | |
In July, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), or ASU 2013-11. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions, in which case such an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-11 do not require new recurring disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-11 are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | |
We do not believe there would have been a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements had any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards been adopted in the current period. | |

(a) Bank Line-of-Credit | |||||||||
On July 17, 2009, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lattice Government Services (formally “RTI”), entered into a Financing and Security Agreement (the “Action Agreement”) with Action Capital Corporation (“Action Capital”). | |||||||||
Pursuant to the terms of the Action Agreement, Action Capital agreed to provide the Company with advances of up to 90% of the net amount of certain acceptable account receivables of the Company (the “Acceptable Accounts”). The maximum amount eligible to be advanced to the Company by Action Capital under the Action Agreement is $3,000,000. The Company will pay Action Capital interest on the advances outstanding under the Action Agreement equal to the prime rate in effect on the last business day of the prior month plus 1%. In addition, the Company will pay a monthly fee to Action Capital equal to 0.75% of the total outstanding balance at the end of each month. | |||||||||
In addition, pursuant to the Action Agreement, the Company granted Action Capital a security interest in certain assets of the Company including all, accounts receivable, contract rights, rebates and books and records pertaining to the foregoing (the “Action Lien”). On June 11, 2010, Action Capital and an accredited investor entered into an agreement under which $1,250,000 of the collateral otherwise securing advances covered by the Action Agreement are subordinated to a new security interest securing an additional loan from the accredited investor. During November 2011, $268,345 of the collateral was collected by Action, escrowed and paid directly to the accredited investor reducing the collateral and outstanding balance on the loan to $981,655 at September 30, 2013. See (c) below. | |||||||||
The outstanding balance owed on the line at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $0 and $0 respectively. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 our interest rate was approximately 13.25%. | |||||||||

Organization | ' |
Lattice Incorporated (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware May 1973 and commenced operations in July 1977. The Company began as a provider of specialized solutions to the telecom industry. Throughout its history Lattice has adapted to the changes in this industry by reinventing itself to be more responsive and open to the dynamic pace of change experienced in the broader converged communications industry of today. Currently Lattice provides advanced solutions for several vertical markets. The greatest change in operations is in the shift from being a component manufacturer to a solution provider focused on developing applications through software on its core platform technology. To further its strategy of becoming a solutions provider, the Company acquired a majority interest in “SMEI” in February 2005. In September 2006 the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of Lattice Government Services, Inc., (“LGS”) (formerly Ricciardi Technologies Inc. (“RTI”)). LGS was founded in 1992 and provides software consulting and development services for the command and control of biological sensors and other Department of Defense requirements to United States federal governmental agencies either directly or through prime contractors of such governmental agencies. LGS’s proprietary products include SensorView, which provides clients with the capability to command, control and monitor multiple distributed chemical, biological, nuclear, explosive and hazardous material sensors. In December 2009 we changed RTI’s name to Lattice Government Services Inc. In January 2007, we changed our name from Science Dynamics Corporation to Lattice Incorporated. On May 16, 2011 we acquired 100% of the shares of Cummings Creek Capital, a holding Company which itself owns 100% of the shares of CLR Group Limited. (“CLR”). CLR is a government contractor which complements our Government Services business by expanding markets and service offerings. Together the SMEI, RTI and CLR acquisitions formed our federal government services business unit. Through 2013 we operated in two segments, our federal government services unit and our telecommunication services business. | |
As part of the Company’s strategy to focus on its higher growth potential communications business, the Company decided during the first quarter of 2013 to exit the Government services segment which derived its revenues mainly from contracts with federal government Dept of Defense agencies either as prime contractor or as a subcontractor to another prime contractor. On April 2, 2013, we entered an Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Blackwatch International, Inc. (“Blackwatch”), a Virginia corporation, pursuant to which we primarily sold our government Dept. of Defense (DoD) contract vehicles for approximately $1.2 million. These assets essentially comprised our Federal Government services segment operations. The Company retained the residual assets and liabilities of Lattice Government services, Inc. We ceased operations of the federal government business back in April, 2013 coinciding with the sale of assets to Blackwatch. For the period ended March 31, 2013 the financial results of the government services business are being reported as discontinued operations. | |
On November 1, 2013 we purchased certain of assets with Innovisit, LLC. The assets mainly acquired included; awarded contracts, customer lists, and its intellectual property rights to the Video Visitation software assets. Under the agreement, the workforce and operating infrastructure supporting Innovisit’s business operations are being transferred to Lattice, including but not limited to certain employees, and leases. This acquisition complimented the product offering of our telecom services business. | |
Basis of Presentation going concern | ' |
At March 31, 2014, our working capital deficiency was $3,612,000 which improved from a working capital deficiency of $4,490,000 at December 31, 2013. Cash from operations and available capacity on current credit facilities are insufficient to cover liabilities currently due and the liabilities which will mature over the next twelve months. Additionally, we are past due on payables with trade creditors. We have several payment arrangements in place but face continuing pressures with negotiating payment arrangements with trade creditors regarding overdue payables. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent upon our ability to improve our operating cash flow, maintain our credit lines and secure the full financing objective currently underway. Management is currently engaged in raising capital with a goal of raising approximately $3,600,000, the proceeds of which to be used to improve working capital and strengthen our balance sheet. Securing sufficient capital for our growth strategy may also reduce doubts about our ability to operate as a going concern. During the quarter ended March 31,2014, we have closed on approximately $1,063,000 of equity financing by issuing restricted common stock to accredited investors, have solicited interests for an additional $2,600,000 investment from various investors anticipated to close by June 2014 timeframe. There is no assurance, however, that we will succeed in raising this additional financing and obtain the capital sufficient to provide for all of our liquidity needs. In the event we fail to obtain the additional capital needed and/or restructure our existing debts with current creditors, we may be required to curtail our operations significantly. | |
Our current cash position, availability on our lines of credit and current level of operating cash flow is insufficient to support (i) current working capital requirements (ii) pay the interest costs and principal payments on maturing liabilities, and (iii) provide the additional capital for equipment purchases necessary to support our growth plans. In this regard, we are highly dependent on obtaining the remainder of the targeted financing investment for which we have has been soliciting interest. Also, we remain dependent upon maintaining and increasing our cash flow from operations and maintaining the continuing availability on our lines of credit. There can be no assurances that our businesses will generate sufficient forward operating cash flows, we will be able to obtain the balance of the financing sought, or that future borrowings under our line of credit facilities will be available in an amount sufficient to service our current indebtedness or to fund other liquidity needs. | |
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). | |
Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements | ' |
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, such condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair representation of the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations. The consolidated results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year end December 31, 2013 appearing in Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014. | |
Principles of consolidation | ' |
The condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For those consolidated subsidiaries where Company ownership is less than 100%, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as non-controlling interest. Investments in affiliates over which the Company has significant influence but not a controlling interest are carried on the equity basis. | |
Use of estimates | ' |
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments made about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to impairment of goodwill and equity investments, revenue recognition, recoverability of inventory and receivables, the useful lives, long lived assets such as property and equipment, the future realization of deferred income tax benefits and the recording of various accruals. The ultimate outcome and actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used. | |
Share-based payments | ' |
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 718-10, Accounting for Share-based payment , to account for compensation costs under its stock option plans and other share-based arrangements. ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. | |
For purposes of estimating fair value of stock options, we use the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, there was approximately $648,000 and $706,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted under the equity compensation plans which do not include the effect of future grants of equity compensation, if any. The $648,000 will be amortized over the weighted average remaining service period. | |

Revenues related to collect and prepaid calling services generated by the communication services segment are recognized during the period in which the calls are made. In addition, during the same period, the Company records the related telecommunication costs for validating, transmitting, billing and collection, and line and long distance charges, along with commissions payable to the facilities and allowances for uncollectible calls, based on historical experience. | |
Government claims: Unapproved claims relate to contracts where costs have exceeded the customer’s funded value of the task ordered on our cost reimbursement type contract vehicles. The unapproved claims are considered to be probable of collection and have been recognized as revenue in previous years. Unapproved claims included as a component of our Accounts Receivable totaled approximately $1,244,000 and $1,244,000 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Consistent with industry practice, we classify assets and liabilities related to these claims as current, even though some of these amounts may not be realized within one year. | |
Revenues recognition for Innovisit | |
Revenues from construction contracts are included in contract revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and are recognized under the percentage-of-completion accounting method. The percent complete is measured by the cost incurred to date compared to the estimated total cost of each project. This method is used as management considers expended cost to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts, the majority of which are completed within one year, but may occasionally extend beyond one year. Inherent uncertainties in estimating costs make it at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term and over the life of the contracts. | |
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance and completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. | |
Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which they are determined. An amount equal to contract costs incurred that are attributable to claims is included in revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. | |
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are comprised principally of revenue recognized on contracts (on the percentage-of-completion method) for which billings had not been presented to customers because the amount were not billable under the contract terms at the balance sheet date. In accordance with the contract terms, the unbilled receivables at December 31, 2013 will be billed in 2014. Amounts are billed based on contractual terms. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represent billings in excess of revenues recognized. | |
Service Revenues are recorded when the service is provided and when collection can be reasonably assured | |
Segment Reporting | ' |
FASB ASC 280-10-50, “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company had operated in two segments prior to 2013 but with the decision to focus on the communications business and exit the federal government services business, the Company now operates in one segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014. | |
Depreciation, amortization and long-lived assets | ' |
Long-lived assets include: | |
Property, plant and equipment - These assets are recorded at original cost. The Company depreciates the cost evenly over the assets’ estimated useful lives. For tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods are used as allowed by tax laws. | |
Identifiable intangible assets - The Company amortizes the cost of other intangibles over their useful lives unless such lives are deemed indefinite. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized; however, they are tested annually for impairment and written down to fair value as required. | |
Fair value disclosures | ' |
Management believes that the carrying values of financial instruments, including, cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value as a result of the short-term maturities of these instruments. As discussed in Note 1(m), below, derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value. | |
The carrying values of the Company’s long term debts approximates their fair values based upon a comparison of the interest rates and terms of such debt to the rates and terms of debt currently available to the Company. | |
Recent accounting pronouncements | ' |
In July, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), or ASU 2013-11. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with certain exceptions, in which case such an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-11 do not require new recurring disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendments in ASU No. 2013-11 are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. | |
We do not believe there would have been a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements had any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards been adopted in the current period. |
