The Company deems the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate method for determining the estimated fair value of stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes method of valuation requires several assumptions: (1) the expected term of the stock-based award; (2) the expected future stock volatility over the expected term; (3) a risk-free interest rate; and (4) the expected dividend yield. The expected term represents the expected period of time that the Company believes the options will be outstanding based on historical information. Estimates of expected future stock price volatility are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s common stock and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Zero-Bond rate. The expected dividend yield is based on the assumption that the Company would continue paying dividends on its common stock at the same rate for the foreseeable future. | ||||||||||||||
There were no options granted in the three or six month periods ended September 30, 2013 or September 30, 2012. | ||||||||||||||
As of September 30, 2013, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to options granted. Non-vested common stock options are subject to the risk of forfeiture until the fulfillment of specified conditions. | ||||||||||||||
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units | ||||||||||||||
The Company has instituted long-term incentive plans for certain key employees. These plans call for the issuance of restricted stock, restricted stock units, restricted stock options, and/or cash incentives which vest or are paid upon the achievement of certain performance-based goals as well as service time incurred. Restricted stock and restricted stock units may also be granted to other employees with vesting periods that range from one to three years. In addition, annually the non-employee directors are granted restricted stock. Restricted stock shares granted to our non-employee directors vest on a pro-rata basis on service time performed over a one-year period. The fair values of the restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards are equal to the market price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. | ||||||||||||||
Non-vested restricted stock and stock unit awards are subject to the risk of forfeiture until the fulfillment of specified conditions. As of September 30, 2013, there was $1,117,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested restricted stock and stock unit awards granted under the Company’s stock plans. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of less than one year. | ||||||||||||||

Inventories consist of material, labor and manufacturing overhead and are recorded at the lower of cost, using the weighted average cost method, or net realizable value. Excess manufacturing overhead costs attributable to idle facility expenses, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) attributable to abnormally low production volumes (levels that materially differ from budgeted production plans due primarily to changes in customer demand) are excluded from inventory and recorded as an expense in the period incurred. | ||||||||

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive impact of options and restricted stock units using the average share price of the Company’s common stock for the period. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, common stock equivalents of 181,000 and 191,000 shares, respectively, are excluded from diluted earnings per share, as their effect is anti-dilutive. For the six months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, common stock equivalents of 181,000 and 190,000 shares, respectively, are excluded from diluted earnings per share, as their effect is anti-dilutive. | ||||||||||||||

5. LETTERS OF CREDIT | |
In the normal course of business, the Company may provide certain customers and potential customers with performance guarantees, which are generally backed by standby letters of credit. In general, the Company would only be liable for the amount of these guarantees in the event of default in the performance of its obligations, the probability of which management believes is low. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding $27,737,000 in standby letters of credit. These outstanding standby letters of credit are cash-secured at amounts ranging from 52% to 76% of the outstanding letters of credit, resulting in restricted cash and investments balance of $14,739,000 at September 30, 2013, of which $861,000 was considered long-term restricted cash and investments due to the expiration date of the underlying letters of credit. | |

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | ||||||||||||||
The Company has categorized its financial assets, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. If the inputs used to measure a financial instrument fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization of such financial asset is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of such instrument. | ||||||||||||||
Financial assets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1 - Financial assets whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date (examples include actively exchange-traded equity securities, listed derivatives, and most U.S. government and agency securities). | ||||||||||||||
Level 2 - Financial assets whose values are based on quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently or whose values are based on quoted prices of instruments with similar attributes in active markets. Level 2 inputs include the following: | ||||||||||||||
· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; | ||||||||||||||
· Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and | ||||||||||||||
· Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||
Level 3 - Financial assets whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company currently does not have any Level 3 financial assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||

7. INCOME TAXES | |
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, and recognizes deferred income taxes based on the expected future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be reflected in the tax return. The Company evaluates the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at period end based upon its three year cumulative income and its projections of future income, and records a valuation allowance against any net deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. | |
The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ending March 31, 2010 through 2012 and by various state taxing authorities for the years ending March 31, 2010 through 2012. The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended March 31, 2011. Management does not believe that the examination will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. | |
In April 2013, the Company received an outstanding refund from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue for tax years ending March 31, 2006 through 2008 related to its sales apportionment methodology. The Company received proceeds of approximately $1,500,000 related to this settlement which had been recorded as a receivable at March 31, 2013. | |

9. LEASE COMMITMENTS | |
In March 2005, the Company renewed its lease agreement for its corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities in Billerica, Massachusetts. As part of the lease agreement, the Company’s landlord agreed to certain renovations to the Billerica facility including the construction of additional high bay manufacturing space. The Company was responsible for a portion of the construction costs and was deemed to be the owner of the building during the construction period under FASB ASC 840, Leases. In January 2007, the Company amended this lease agreement to expand its lease to include the remaining available space in the building. A total of $7,182,000 was capitalized to record the facility on its books with an offsetting credit to the lease financing liability. In addition, amounts paid for construction were capitalized to fixed assets and the landlord construction allowances of $6,009,000 were recorded as additional lease financing liability. | |
At the completion of the construction of the initial renovations in February 2006, the lease was reviewed for potential sale-leaseback treatment in accordance with FASB ASC 840-40, Leases — Sale-Leaseback Transactions. Based on this review, it was determined that the lease did not qualify for sale-leaseback treatment in accordance with FASB ASC 840-40. As a result, the building and tenant improvement and associated lease financing liabilities remain on the Company’s books. The lease financing liability is being amortized over the lease term based on the payments designated in the agreement and the building and tenant improvement assets are being depreciated on a straight line basis over the lesser of their useful lives or the lease term. |

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Science and Engineering, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. | ||||||||||||||
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all disclosures required by Form 10-K. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, or fiscal 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2013. | ||||||||||||||
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all necessary adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The Company develops, manufactures, markets, and sells X-ray inspection and other detection products for homeland security and other targeted markets. The Company provides maintenance, warranty, engineering, and training services related to these products. The Company has one reporting segment, X-ray screening products. | ||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | |||||||||||||
For systems that are produced in a standard manufacturing operation and have shorter order to delivery cycles, the Company recognizes sales when title passes and when other revenue recognition criteria (such as transfer of risk and customer acceptance) are met. Revenues on cost reimbursable and custom long-term fixed price contracts are generally recorded as costs are incurred using the percentage of completion method. | ||||||||||||||
Occasionally, the Company receives requests from customers to hold product being purchased for a valid business purpose. The Company recognizes revenue for such arrangements provided the transaction meets, at a minimum, the following criteria: a valid business purpose for the arrangement exists; risk of ownership of the purchased product has transferred to the buyer; there is a fixed delivery date that is reasonable and consistent with the buyer’s business purpose; the product is ready for shipment; the Company has no continuing performance obligation in regards to the product and the product has been segregated from the Company’s inventories and cannot be used to fill other orders received. There was no product being held under such arrangements at September 30, 2013 or March 31, 2013. | ||||||||||||||
