Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, American Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the development, marketing, and support activities of a broad range of computer business application software products. The Company’s operations are principally in the computer software industry, and its products and services are used by customers within the United States and certain international markets. We provide our software solutions through three major business segments, which are further broken down into a total of four major product and service groups. The three business segments are (1) Supply Chain Management (SCM), (2) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and (3) Information Technology (IT) Consulting. • The SCM segment consists of Logility, Inc. (see Note 9), which provides collaborative supply chain solutions to streamline and optimize the production, distribution and management of products between trading partners, and DMI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Logility. • The ERP segment consists of (1) American Software USA, Inc., which provides purchasing and materials management, customer order processing, financial, e-commerce, Flow Manufacturing and traditional manufacturing solutions, and (2) NGC, which provides industry specific business software to both retailers and manufacturers primarily in the apparel, sewn products and furniture industries. • The IT Consulting segment consists of The Proven Method, Inc., an IT staffing and consulting services firm. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform within these footnotes to current period presentation. (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Software, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue The Company recognizes revenue predominately in accordance with the Software Revenue Recognition Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). License. Maintenance. Services. , Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenues include fees for the right to use the software for a limited period of time in a hosted environment by the Company or by a third party and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-needed basis over the Internet or via a dedicated line; however, the customer has no ability to take delivery of the software. The underlying arrangements typically include a single fee for the service that is billed monthly, quarterly or annually. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription (which is included in Services Revenue) over the committed services period once the services commence. Indirect Channel Revenue. Deferred Revenue. Sales Taxes. . Unbilled Accounts Receivable. (d) Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues for licenses includes amortization of capitalized computer software development costs, salaries and benefits and value-added reseller (VAR) commissions. Costs for maintenance and services revenues include the cost of personnel to conduct implementations, customer support and consulting, and other personnel-related expenses as well as agent commission expenses related to maintenance revenues generated by the indirect channel. Commission costs for maintenance are deferred and amortized over the related maintenance term. (e) Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents of $62.6 million and $46.0 million at April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, consist of overnight repurchase agreements and money market deposit accounts. The Company considers all such investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows. (f) Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments with various financial institutions. The Company’s sales are primarily to companies located in North America and Europe. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are due principally from companies under stated contract terms. (g) Returns and Allowances The Company has not experienced significant returns or warranty claims to date and, as a result, the allowance for the cost of returns and product warranty claims at April 30, 2017 or 2016 is not significant. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the historical experience of write-offs and a detailed assessment of accounts receivable. The total amounts of expense/(recovery) to operations were approximately $39,000, $0, and $178,000 for 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the age of the accounts receivable, the Company’s historical write-offs, and the credit worthiness of the customer, among other factors. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change accordingly, which could affect the level of the Company’s future provision for doubtful accounts. Uncollectible accounts are written off when it is determined that the specific balance is not collectible. (h) Investments Investments consist of commercial paper, corporate bonds, government securities, certificates of deposits and marketable equity securities. The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with the Investments—Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company has classified its investment portfolio as “trading.” “Trading” securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in the determination of net earnings. For the purposes of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. Investments with maturities less than one year as of the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments and those that mature greater than one year are classified as long-term investments. (i) Furniture, Equipment, and Purchased Computer Software Furniture, equipment and purchased computer software are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of buildings, computer equipment, purchased computer software, office furniture and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets (three years for computer equipment and software, seven years for office furniture and equipment and thirty years for buildings). Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease term, whichever is shorter. Depreciation and amortization expense on buildings, furniture, equipment and purchased computer software was $731,000, $807,000, and $1,193,000 in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. (j) Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with the FASB ASC Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed Topic. Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers. The Company makes ongoing evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the net amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized computer software development costs are amortized ratably based on the projected revenues associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization. Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs is included in the cost of license revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Total Expenditures and Amortization. Years ended April 30, 2017 2016 2015 (in thousands) Total capitalized computer software development costs $ 3,724 $ 3,246 $ 2,747 Total research and development expense 11,889 11,248 11,088 Total research and development expense and capitalized computer software-development costs $ 15,613 $ 14,494 $ 13,835 Total amortization of capitalized computer software development costs $ 4,250 $ 3,921 $ 3,663 Capitalized computer software development costs consist of the following at April 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands): 2017 2016 Capitalized computer software development costs $ 29,037 $ 25,313 Accumulated amortization (20,423 ) (16,173 ) $ 8,614 $ 9,140 Of the Company’s capitalized software projects that are currently completed and being amortized, the Company expects amortization expense for the next three years to be as follows (in thousands): 2018 $ 3,123 2019 2,864 2020 2,246 $ 8,233 (k) Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets (exclusive of Logility’s treasury stock repurchases) Acquisition-related intangible assets are stated at historical cost and include acquired software and certain other intangible assets with definite lives. The intangible assets are being amortized over a period ranging from one to eight years. For 2017, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $1,659,000, with $1,041,000 included in operating expense and $618,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For 2016, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $890,000, with $272,000 included in operating expense and $618,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For 2015, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $970,000, with $394,000 included in operating expense and $576,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets consist of the following at April 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands): Weighted 2017 2016 Current technology 3 $ 4,872 $ 1,972 Customer relationships 8 1,400 1,400 Non-compete 3 390 290 Trademarks 3 200 0 6,862 3,662 Accumulated amortization (3,463 ) (1,804 ) $ 3,399 $ 1,858 The Company expects amortization expense for the next five years to be as follows based on intangible assets as of April 30, 2017 (in thousands): 2018 $ 1,320 2019 1,232 2020 482 2021 175 2022 175 Thereafter 15 $ 3,399 (l) Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether the goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company identifies the reporting unit on a basis that is similar to its method for identifying operating segments as defined by the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. This evaluation is applied annually on each impairment testing date (April 30) unless there is a triggering event present during an interim period. For the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company performed a qualitative assessment based on economic, industry and company-specific factors as the initial step in the annual goodwill impairment test for all reporting units. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, companies are only required to perform Step 1 of the annual impairment test for a reporting unit if the company concludes that it is more likely than not that the unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. To the extent the Company concludes it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying amount, the two-step approach is applied. The first step would require a comparison of each reporting unit’s fair value to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company did not identify any macroeconomic or industry conditions as of April 30, 2017, that would indicate the fair value of the reporting units were more likely than not to be less than their respective carrying values. If circumstances change or events occur to indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting units have fallen below their carrying value, the Company would test such reporting unit for impairment. For fiscal 2015, the Company used the Income and Market approaches to test for goodwill impairment as of the Valuation Date. The methodology utilized to implement the Income approach was the discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology. The methodologies utilized to implement the Market approach were the comparable company methodology (CCM) and the comparable transaction methodology (CTM). The valuation approaches we utilize in determining the fair value for each reporting unit were weighted 50%, 15%, and 35%, for the DCF, CTM, and CCM, respectively. In order to determine the proper weight given to each approach, the Company considers the methodologies utilized to implement each approach and the overall and industry-specific economic conditions and assumptions, which could affect the quality of the underlying data supporting each analysis. The Company considers the following valuation factors in connection with performing annual impairment testing: • The nature of the business or entity, the risks to which it is subject, and its historical patterns of growth; • The general economic outlook, the position of the industry in the existing economy, and the position of the business or entity within its industry; • The book value and general financial condition of the business or entity; • The earnings history and earnings capacity of the business or entity; • The dividend-paying capacity of the business or entity; • The market prices of stocks of businesses engaged in related activities, where such stocks are traded on an exchange or over-the-counter; • Any recent sales of the common stock of the business and the size of the block of stock to be valued; • The existence of undervalued tangible and intangible assets; and • Other special factors and circumstances of the business or entity that can be judged as important to the overall value. As noted above, the DCF methodology was given the most weight. The material assumptions utilized within this methodology were the long-term growth rate, weighted average cost of capital, financial projections, projected debt free cash flow and tax rate. The assumptions used by the Company have not changed materially from the prior year. In the event of impairment, the loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company performed its periodic review of this goodwill for impairment as of April 30, 2015 and did not identify any goodwill impairment as a result of the review. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC. Goodwill consisted of the following by segment (in thousands): Enterprise Resource Supply Chain IT Total Balance at April 30, 2015 $ 1,812 $ 16,937 $ — $ 18,749 Balance at April 30, 2016 1,812 16,937 — 18,749 Goodwill related to the AdapChain Acquisition — 800 — 800 Balance at April 30, 2017 $ 1,812 $ 17,737 $ — $ 19,549 * Goodwill related to New Generation Computing, Inc. ** Goodwill related to Logility, Inc., Demand Management, Inc. and their acquisitions Intangible Assets (including Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets) consisted of the following by segment (in thousands): Enterprise Resource Supply Chain IT Total Balance at April 30, 2015 $ — $ 2,748 $ — $ 2,748 Amortization expense — (890 ) — (890 ) Balance at April 30, 2016 — 1,858 — 1,858 Intangibles related to the AdapChain Acquisition — 3,200 — 3,200 Amortization expense — (1,659 ) — (1,659 ) Balance at April 30, 2017 $ — $ 3,399 $ — $ 3,399 (m) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. (n) Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to those related to collectability, capitalized software costs, goodwill, intangible asset impairment, income taxes, allocation of fair values in acquisitions and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. (o) Stock-Based Compensation The Company has four stock-based employee compensation plans under which options to purchase common stock of the Company were outstanding as of April 30, 2017. Those plans are described more fully in Note 7. In addition to two American Software plans, effective July 9, 2009, the Company adopted the Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan and Logility, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan as equity plans of the Company in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of the shares of Logility common stock it did not previously own. The Company recorded stock option compensation cost of approximately $1,428,000, $1,593,000 and $1,530,000 and related income tax benefits of approximately $528,000, $586,000 and $542,000 for the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense on current year grants is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award directly to additional paid-in capital. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, cash flows resulting from the tax benefits generated by tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows. During the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company realized tax benefits from stock options generated in previous and current periods resulting in approximately $384,000 of gross excess tax benefits which are included as a component of cash flows from financing activities in the accompanying 2015 consolidated statement of cash flows. (p) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet. (q) Comprehensive Income The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB ASC establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. The Company did not have any other comprehensive income items for 2017, 2016, or 2015. (r) Earnings per Common Share The Company has two classes of common stock of which Class B common shares are convertible into Class A common shares at any time, on a one-for-one basis. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, if dividends are declared, holders of Class A common shares shall receive a $.05 dividend per share prior to the Class B common shares receiving any dividend and holders of Class A common shares shall receive a dividend at least equal to Class B common shares dividends on a per share basis. As a result, the Company has computed the earnings per share in compliance with the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC, which requires companies that have multiple classes of equity securities to use the “two-class” method in computing earnings per share. For the Company’s basic earnings per share calculation, the Company uses the “two-class” method. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to each class of common stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. All undistributed earnings are allocated evenly between Class A and B common shares in the earnings per share calculation to the extent that earnings equal or exceed $.05 per share. This allocation is based on management’s judgment after considering the dividend rights of the two-classes of common stock, the control of the Class B shareholders and the convertibility rights of the Class B shares to Class A shares. If Class B shares convert to Class A shares during the period, the distributed net earnings for Class B shares is calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of options issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans. For the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation for Class A shares, the Company uses the “if-converted” method. This calculation assumes that all Class B common shares are converted into Class A common shares and, as a result, assumes there are no holders of Class B common shares to participate in undistributed earnings. For the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation for Class B shares, the Company uses the “two-class” method. This calculation does not assume that all Class B common shares are converted into Class A common shares. In addition, this method assumes the dilutive effect of Class A stock options were converted to Class A shares and the undistributed earnings are allocated evenly to both Class A and B shares including Class A shares issued pursuant to those converted stock options. This allocation is based on management’s judgment after considering the dividend rights of the two-classes of common stock, the control of the Class B shareholders and the convertibility rights of the Class B shares into Class A shares. The following tables set forth the computation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands except for per share amounts), see Note 7 for total stock options outstanding and potentially dilutive: Basic earnings per common share: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Class A Class B Class A Class B Class A Class B Distributed earnings per share $ 0.44 $ 0.44 $ 0.40 $ 0.40 $ 0.40 $ 0.40 Undistributed earnings/(loss) per share 0.06 0.06 (0.04 ) (0.04 ) (0.11 ) (0.11 ) Total per share $ 0.50 $ 0.50 $ 0.36 $ 0.36 $ 0.29 $ 0.29 Distributed earnings $ 11,845 $ 1,066 $ 10,479 $ 1,025 $ 10,301 $ 1,035 Undistributed earnings/(loss) 1,568 142 (1,148 ) (114 ) (2,914 ) (294 ) Total $ 13,413 $ 1,208 $ 9,331 $ 911 $ 7,387 $ 741 Basic weighted average common shares 26,793 2,439 26,143 2,584 25,696 2,587 Diluted EPS for Class A common shares using the If-Converted Method Year Ended April 30, 2017 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 13,413 26,793 $ 0.50 Common stock equivalents — 335 13,413 27,128 0.49 Class B conversion 1,208 2,439 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 14,621 29,567 $ 0.49 Year Ended April 30, 2016 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 9,331 26,143 $ 0.36 Common stock equivalents — 278 9,331 26,421 0.35 Class B conversion 911 2,584 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 10,242 29,005 $ 0.35 Year Ended April 30, 2015 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 7,387 25,696 $ 0.29 Common stock equivalents — 331 7,387 26,027 0.28 Class B conversion 741 2,587 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 8,128 28,614 $ 0.28 Diluted EPS for Class B common shares using the Two-Class Method Year Ended April 30, 2017 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 1,208 2,439 $ 0.50 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares (2 ) — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 1,206 2,439 $ 0.49 Year Ended April 30, 2016 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 911 2,584 $ 0.35 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares 2 — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 913 2,584 $ 0.35 Year Ended April 30, 2015 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 741 2,587 $ 0.29 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares 4 — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 745 2,587 $ 0.29 * Amounts adjusted for rounding (s) Advertising All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses, which are included within sales and marketing expenses, were $2.0 million, $2.1 million and $2.1 million in fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. (t) Guarantees and Indemnifications The Company accounts for guarantees in accordance with the Guarantee Topic of the FASB ASC . The Company warrants to its customers that its software products will perform in all material respects in accordance with the standard published specifications in effect at the time of delivery of the licensed products to the customer generally for 90 days after delivery of the licensed products. Additionally, the Company warrants to its customers that services will be performed consistent with generally accepted industry standards or specific service levels through completion of the agreed upon services. If necessary, the Company will provide for the estimated cost of product and service warranties based on specific warranty claims and claim history. However, the Company has not incurred significant recurring expense under product or service warranties. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of April 30, 2017 or 2016. (u) Industry Segments The Company operates and manages its business in three reportable segments. See Note 9 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | (3) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company measures its investments based on a fair value hierarchy disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. A number of factors affect market price observability including the type of asset or liability and its characteristics. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. • Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. • Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The following is a general description of the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. Cash Equivalents Marketable Securities The following table presents our assets that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques we utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands): April 30, 2017 April 30, 2016 Quoted Prices Significant Significant Total Quoted Prices Significant Significant Total Cash equivalents $ 62,647 $ — $ — $ 62,647 $ 45,977 $ — $ — $ 45,977 Marketable securities 8,984 14,803 — 23,787 7,374 21,487 — 28,861 Total $ 71,631 $ 14,803 $ — $ 86,434 $ 53,351 $ 21,487 $ — $ 74,838 The carrying amounts of cash, trade accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued compensation and related costs, and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | (5) Acquisitions We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based upon management’s estimates of current fair values as of the acquisition date. The estimation process includes analyses based on income and market approaches. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets. The goodwill generated is due in part to the synergies that are not included in the fair value of identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill recorded in an acquisition is assigned to applicable reporting units based on expected revenues. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Amortization of current technology is recorded in cost of revenues-license and amortization of all other intangible assets is recorded in amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other costs, are expensed in general and administrative expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date. Effective August 23, 2016, the Company acquired certain assets of AdapChain, Inc. (“AdapChain”), a privately-held Pennsylvania corporation and a provider of high-quality modular integration technology, pursuant to the terms of an asset purchase agreement, dated as of August 23, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”). This acquisition will expand and complement the products and services offered by Logility. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the assets for a purchase price of $4,000,000 in cash plus a post-closing working capital adjustment of $385,000 and $102,000 in purchase price adjustments related to the fair value of deferred revenue. Additional consideration is payable at the end of each three month period in the 36-month period following the Closing Date (such 36-month period being the “Earnout Period”) from the license fee revenues contracted for and recorded as revenue in accordance with GAAP by either AdapChain or the Company from the sale of AdapChain software during such three month period, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2.0 million over the Earnout Period. This additional consideration will be accounted for as post-combination services and, therefore, will be expensed as incurred, since the previous shareholders of AdapChain must remain employed by the Company in order to receive these earnout payments. The cumulative earnout paid as of April 30, 2017 was $203,000. The Company incurred acquisition costs of approximately $139,400 during year ended April 30, 2017, respectively. The operating results of AdapChain are not material for pro forma disclosure. We allocated $800,000 of the total purchase price to goodwill, which has been assigned to the Supply Chain Management segment and is deductible for income tax purposes. The following preliminary allocation of the total purchase price reflects the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of August 23, 2016 (in thousands): Useful Life Cash $ 46 Accounts receivable, net 510 Other current assets 66 Property and equipment, net 16 Goodwill 800 Non-compete 100 1-3 years Trade name 200 3 years Current technology 2,900 3 years Total Assets Acquired 4,638 Current liabilities (135 ) Long-term liabilities (16 ) Total liabilities assumed (151 ) Net assets acquired $ 4,487 Non-compete agreements, trade name and current technology are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated economic life of the assets, including the period being reported. The fair value of deferred revenues in a business combination is considered to be an assumed liability (which must arise from a legal performance obligation) and, accordingly, is estimated based on the direct cost of fulfilling the obligation plus a normal profit margin, which approximates fair value. Also, in practice, the normal profit margin is limited to the profit margin on the costs to provide the product or service (that is, the fulfillment effort). |

Income Taxes | ) Income Taxes Income tax expense consisted of the following: Years ended April 30, 2017 2016 2015 (In thousands) Current: Federal $ 5,643 $ 4,105 $ 2,506 State 676 665 501 Years ended April 30, 2017 2016 2015 (In thousands) 6,319 4,770 3,007 Deferred: Federal 558 (299 ) (697 ) State 117 (13 ) (36 ) 675 (312 ) (733 ) $ 6,994 $ 4,458 $ 2,274 The Company’s actual income tax expense differs from the “expected” income tax expense calculated by applying the Federal statutory rate of 35% for fiscal years 2017, 2016 and 2015, to earnings before income taxes as follows: Years ended April 30, 2017 2016 2015 (In thousands) Computed “expected” income tax expense $ 7,565 $ 5,145 $ 3,641 Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal income tax effect 592 435 269 Research and development credits (520 ) (694 ) (516 ) Change in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (293 ) (2 ) (5 ) Tax contingencies (42 ) (13 ) (955 ) Other, net, including permanent items (308 ) (413 ) (160 ) $ 6,994 $ 4,458 $ 2,274 Our effective income tax rates were 32%, 30% and 22% in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our effective income tax rate takes into account the source of taxable income, by state, and available income tax credits. The provision for income taxes in 2015 excludes approximately $420,000 of tax benefits realized from the recognition of stock option deductions, which has been recorded in additional paid-in capital. The provision for income taxes in 2017 and 2016 includes approximately $253,000 and $247,000, respectively, in income tax benefits related to the tax benefits realized from stock option deductions. The significant components of deferred income tax (benefit) expense attributable to income from continuing operations before income taxes for the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015 are as follows: Years ended April 30, 2017 2016 2015 (In thousands) Deferred tax expense/(benefit) $ 968 $ (310 ) $ (728 ) Decrease in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets (293 ) (2 ) (5 ) $ 675 $ (312 ) $ (733 ) The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at April 30, 2017 and 2016 are presented as follows: 2017 2016 (In thousands) Deferred tax assets: Accruals and expenses not deducted for tax purposes $ 461 $ 1,008 State net operating loss carryforwards 295 333 Fixed asset basis differences 1,384 1,515 2017 2017 (In thousands) Nonqualified stock options 1,679 1,870 Deferred revenue 234 96 Total gross deferred tax assets 4,054 4,822 Less valuation allowance 166 459 Net deferred tax assets 3,887 4,363 Deferred tax liabilities: Capitalized computer software development costs (3,298 ) (3,500 ) Net gains/losses on trading securities (1,019 ) (673 ) Goodwill and intangible assets basis differences (939 ) (957 ) Deferred agent commissions (625 ) (553 ) Total gross deferred tax liabilities (5,881 ) (5,682 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ (1,994 ) $ (1,319 ) At April 30, 2017, the Company has approximately $9.0 million of various state net operating loss carryforwards which are available to offset future state taxable income, if any, through 2035. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon reversal of deferred tax liabilities and expected future profitability, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances, at April 30, 2017. The Company applies the accounting provisions which require us to prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribution for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken within an income tax return. As of April 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we have recorded approximately $57,000, $101,000, and $115,000, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties, all of which would impact our effective tax rate if recognized. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits is recorded net of any federal tax benefit that would result from payment. During the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company recognized $973,000 of income tax benefits due to the reversal of a reserve for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of statutes of limitations. We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, we had recorded a liability for potential penalties and interest of approximately $24,000 and $47,000, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows, excluding interest and penalties (in thousands): 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of the period $ 54 $ 61 Decreases as a result of positions taken during prior periods (25 ) (11 ) Increases as a result of positions taken during the current period 4 4 Balance at April 30, $ 33 $ 54 We conduct business globally and, as a result, file consolidated income tax returns in the United States Federal jurisdiction and in many state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years prior to 2000. We are no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examination for years prior to 2011. During the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded research and development state tax credits against payroll taxes of approximately $436,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, which reduced general and administrative expenses by the same amount. |

Shareholders' Equity | (7) Shareholders’ Equity Except for the election or removal of Directors and class votes as required by law or the Articles of Incorporation, holders of both classes of common stock vote as a single class on all matters with each Class A common share entitled to cast one-tenth vote per share and each Class B common share entitled to cast one vote per share. Neither class has cumulative voting rights. Holders of Class A common shares, as a class, are entitled to elect 25% of the board of directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number of Directors) if the number of outstanding Class A common shares is at least 10% of the number of outstanding shares of both classes of common stock. No cash or property dividend may be paid to holders of Class B common shares during any fiscal year of the Company unless a dividend of $0.05 per share has been paid in such year on each outstanding Class A common share. This $0.05 per share annual dividend preference is noncumulative. Dividends per Class B common share during any fiscal year may not exceed dividends paid per Class A common share during each year. Each Class B common share is convertible at any time into one Class A common share at the option of the shareholder. Stock Option Plans As of April 30, 2017, the Company has outstanding stock options granted pursuant to four stock option plans. The 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Option Plan”) became effective on September 1, 2000. This Plan was terminated and replaced by the 2011 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2011 Option Plan”) effective May 17, 2010. Options outstanding under the 2001 Option Plan remain in effect, but no new options may be granted under the plan. Effective July 9, 2009, we adopted the Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan and the Logility, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan as equity plans of American Software, although we will not grant any additional stock options under these plans. Under the 2011 Option Plan, options to purchase Class A common shares are granted in the form of both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The number of options granted under this plan is determined with each grant. By resolution of the Board of Directors, non-employee directors receive grants of non-qualified options to purchase 5,000 shares upon election and 3,000 shares at the end of each fiscal quarter. The price of such grants is equal to the closing market price of the shares on the date of grant. Options are exercisable based on the terms of such options, but no more than 6 years after the date of grant (or five years for incentive stock options granted to any person who owns 10% or more of the combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the Company at the time of grant). A total of 5,000,000 shares are authorized for issuance pursuant to options granted under this Plan. Incentive and nonqualified options exercisable at April 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 totaled 1,365,586, 1,468,257, and 1,203,369, respectively. Options available for grant at April 30, 2017, for the 2011 Option Plan are 1,577,543 shares. At the 2016 Annual Meeting, the shareholders voted on increasing the shares authorized under the 2011 Option Plan from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000. At the 2017 Annual Meeting, the shareholders will vote on increasing the shares authorized under the 2011 Option Plan from 6,000,000 to 7,000,000. When stock options are exercised, it is the Company’s policy to issue stock from authorized shares rather than treasury shares. A summary of changes in outstanding options for the year ended April 30, 2017 is as follows: Number of Weighted Weighted Aggregate Outstanding at May 1, 2016 3,489,857 $ 8.58 Granted 360,000 10.08 Exercised (754,811 ) 7.57 Forfeited (15,900 ) 9.09 Outstanding at April 30, 2017 3,079,146 $ 9.00 3.2 $ 6,073,168 Exercisable at April 30, 2017 1,365,586 $ 8.82 2.2 $ 2,941,982 The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015 are $1.96, $1.60, and $2.04 per share, respectively. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015: 2017 2016 2015 Dividend yield 4.0 % 4.9 % 4.0 % Expected volatility 32.7 % 33.6 % 34.5 % Risk-free interest rate 1.2 % 1.5 % 1.7 % Expected term 5.0 years 5.0 years 5.0 years The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility and implied volatility. The Company uses historical data to estimate stock option exercise and forfeiture rates. The expected term represents the period over which the share-based awards are expected to be outstanding. Beginning after December 31, 2007, the expected term was estimated using historical data. The dividend yield is an estimate of the expected dividend yield on the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the time of the grant for the expected term of the stock options. Options issued after May 1, 2007 with graded vesting are valued as a single award. The total value of the award is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with the amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equal to the portion of the grant date value of the award that is vested at that date. During the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, we issued 754,811, 306,848 and 490,912 shares of common stock, respectively, resulting from the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 based on market value at the exercise dates was $2,280,650, $1,219,406 and $2,100,295 respectively. The fair value of grants vested during the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $1,550,190, $1,495,065 and $1,625,742, respectively. As of April 30, 2017, unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock option awards approximated $2.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. Stock Repurchases On August 19, 2002, our Board of Directors approved a resolution authorizing the repurchase of up to 2.0 million shares of our Class A common stock. These repurchases have been and will be made through open market purchases at prevailing market prices. The timing of any repurchases will depend upon market conditions, the market price of our common stock and management’s assessment of our liquidity and cash flow needs. For this repurchase plan, through April 30, 2017, we have repurchased 1,053,679 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $6.2 million. Under all repurchase plans as of April 30, 2017, we have repurchased 4,588,632 shares of common stock at a cost of approximately $25.6 million. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | (8) Commitments and Contingencies (a) Leases The Company leases office facilities and equipment under various operating leases. Rental expense for these leases approximated $1.1 million, $1.0 million, and $931,000 for the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The Company leased several floors of its headquarters in Atlanta, GA under various operating leases. Rental income for these leases approximated $538,000, $723,000 and $687,000 for the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, the Company owned other properties leased under various operating leases. Rental income for these leases approximated $236,000, $309,000 and $270,000 for the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively. On February 23, 2017, the Company divested the property to which these leases were associated. The rental income is included as a component of Other Income, Net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of April 30, 2017 are as follows (existence of renewal or escalation clauses) (in thousands): Years ended April 30: 2018 $ 994 2019 866 2020 375 2021 352 2022 292 Thereafter 97 $ 2,976 Future minimum lease rentals receivable under noncancelable operating leases (with initial or remaining lease terms in excess of one year) as of April 30, 2017 are as follows (already included or prorated at the Company’s occupied building) (in thousands): Years ended April 30: 2018 $ 261 2019 209 2020 10 2021 0 2022 0 Thereafter 0 $ 480 (b) 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan Employees are offered the opportunity to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the 401(k) Plan), which is intended to be a tax-qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the 401(k) Plan, employees are eligible to participate on the first day of the month following the date of hire. Eligible employees may contribute up to 60% of pretax income to the 401(k) Plan. Subject to certain limitations, the Company may make a discretionary profit sharing contribution at an amount determined by the board of directors of the Company. The Company did not make profit sharing contributions for 2017, 2016, or 2015. (c) Contingencies The Company more often than not indemnifies its customers against damages and costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright, or trademark infringement associated with use of the Company’s products. The Company has historically not been required to make any payments under such indemnifications. However, the Company continues to monitor the conditions that are subject to the indemnifications to identify whether it is probable that a loss has occurred, and would recognize any such losses under the indemnifications when those losses are estimable. In addition, the Company warrants to customers that the Company’s products operate substantially in accordance with the software product’s specifications. Historically, no costs have been incurred related to software product warranties and none are expected in the future, and as such no accruals for software product warranty costs have been made. Additionally, the Company is involved in various claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | (9) Segment Information The Company provides our software solutions through three major business segments, which are further broken down into a total of four major product and service groups. The three business segments are (1) SCM, (2) ERP, and (3) IT Consulting. The SCM segment consists of Logility, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, as well as its subsidiary, DMI, which provides collaborative supply chain solutions to streamline and optimize the forecasting, production, distribution and management of products between trading partners. The ERP segment consists of (1) NGC, which provides industry-specific business software to both retailers and manufacturers in the apparel, sewn products and furniture industries, and (2) American Software ERP, which provides purchasing and materials management, customer order processing, financial, e-commerce and traditional manufacturing solutions. The IT Consulting segment consists of The Proven Method, Inc., an IT staffing and consulting services firm. We also provide support for our software products, such as software enhancements, documentation, updates, customer education, consulting, systems integration services, and maintenance. Our chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. While the CEO is apprised of a variety of financial metrics and information, we manage our business primarily on a segment basis, with the CEO evaluating performance based upon segment operating profit or loss that includes an allocation of common expenses, but excludes certain unallocated expenses, which are included in the ERP segment. All of our revenues are derived from external customers. We do not have any inter-segment revenue. Our income taxes and dividends are paid at a consolidated level. Consequently, it is not practical to show these items by operating segment. Following is information related to each segment as of and for the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015: 2017 2016 2015 Revenues: Enterprise Resource Planning $ 11,828 $ 13,647 $ 11,363 Supply Chain Management 74,825 76,329 66,066 IT Consulting 19,633 23,913 25,444 $ 106,286 $ 113,889 $ 102,873 Operating income/(loss) before intersegment eliminations: Enterprise Resource Planning $ (5,388 ) $ (4,104 ) $ (5,285 ) Supply Chain Management 12,264 16,304 12,399 IT Consulting 890 1,327 2,228 $ 7,766 $ 13,527 $ 9,342 Intersegment eliminations: Enterprise Resource Planning $ (3,372 ) $ (3,015 ) $ (2,127 ) Supply Chain Management 3,406 2,910 2,020 IT Consulting (34 ) 105 107 $ — $ — $ — Operating income/(loss) after intersegment eliminations: Enterprise Resource Planning $ (8,760 ) $ (7,119 ) $ (7,412 ) Supply Chain Management 15,670 19,214 14,419 IT Consulting 856 1,432 2,335 $ 7,766 $ 13,527 $ 9,342 Capital expenditures: Enterprise Resource Planning $ 408 $ 423 $ 791 Supply Chain Management 321 232 229 IT Consulting 2 — 8 $ 731 $ 655 $ 1,028 Capitalized software: Enterprise Resource Planning $ — $ — $ — Supply Chain Management 3,724 3,246 2,747 IT Consulting — — — $ 3,724 $ 3,246 $ 2,747 Depreciation and amortization: Enterprise Resource Planning $ 492 $ 587 $ 925 Supply Chain Management 6,141 5,021 4,896 IT Consulting 7 10 12 $ 6,640 $ 5,618 $ 5,833 Interest income: Enterprise Resource Planning $ 440 $ 376 $ 421 Supply Chain Management 817 970 808 IT Consulting — — — $ 1,257 $ 1,346 $ 1,229 2017 2016 2015 Earnings/(loss) before income taxes: Enterprise Resource Planning $ 8,515 $ (2,771 ) $ (3,815 ) Supply Chain Management 12,210 16,144 11,989 IT Consulting 890 1,327 2,228 $ 21,615 $ 14,700 $ 10,402 April 30, April 30, April 30, Total Consolidated Assets: Enterprise Resource Planning $ 49,333 $ 33,555 $ 32,435 Supply Chain Management 95,385 98,650 97,101 IT Consulting 4,056 4,519 4,730 $ 148,774 $ 136,724 $ 134,266 International Revenue and Significant Customer International revenues approximated $18.8 million or 18%, $19.8 million or 17% and $16.3 million or 16%, of consolidated revenues for the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, and were derived primarily from customers in Canada and Europe.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | (a) Basis of Presentation Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, American Software, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the development, marketing, and support activities of a broad range of computer business application software products. The Company’s operations are principally in the computer software industry, and its products and services are used by customers within the United States and certain international markets. We provide our software solutions through three major business segments, which are further broken down into a total of four major product and service groups. The three business segments are (1) Supply Chain Management (SCM), (2) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and (3) Information Technology (IT) Consulting. • The SCM segment consists of Logility, Inc. (see Note 9), which provides collaborative supply chain solutions to streamline and optimize the production, distribution and management of products between trading partners, and DMI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Logility. • The ERP segment consists of (1) American Software USA, Inc., which provides purchasing and materials management, customer order processing, financial, e-commerce, Flow Manufacturing and traditional manufacturing solutions, and (2) NGC, which provides industry specific business software to both retailers and manufacturers primarily in the apparel, sewn products and furniture industries. • The IT Consulting segment consists of The Proven Method, Inc., an IT staffing and consulting services firm. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform within these footnotes to current period presentation. |
Principles of Consolidation | (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Software, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue | (c) Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue The Company recognizes revenue predominately in accordance with the Software Revenue Recognition Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). License. Maintenance. Services. , Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenues include fees for the right to use the software for a limited period of time in a hosted environment by the Company or by a third party and the customer accesses and uses the software on an as-needed basis over the Internet or via a dedicated line; however, the customer has no ability to take delivery of the software. The underlying arrangements typically include a single fee for the service that is billed monthly, quarterly or annually. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) revenues are recognized ratably over the subscription (which is included in Services Revenue) over the committed services period once the services commence. Indirect Channel Revenue. Deferred Revenue. Sales Taxes. . Unbilled Accounts Receivable. |
Cost of Revenues | (d) Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues for licenses includes amortization of capitalized computer software development costs, salaries and benefits and value-added reseller (VAR) commissions. Costs for maintenance and services revenues include the cost of personnel to conduct implementations, customer support and consulting, and other personnel-related expenses as well as agent commission expenses related to maintenance revenues generated by the indirect channel. Commission costs for maintenance are deferred and amortized over the related maintenance term. |
Cash Equivalents | (e) Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents of $62.6 million and $46.0 million at April 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, consist of overnight repurchase agreements and money market deposit accounts. The Company considers all such investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents for purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | (f) Concentrations of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short- and long-term investments with various financial institutions. The Company’s sales are primarily to companies located in North America and Europe. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are due principally from companies under stated contract terms. |
Returns and Allowances | (g) Returns and Allowances The Company has not experienced significant returns or warranty claims to date and, as a result, the allowance for the cost of returns and product warranty claims at April 30, 2017 or 2016 is not significant. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the historical experience of write-offs and a detailed assessment of accounts receivable. The total amounts of expense/(recovery) to operations were approximately $39,000, $0, and $178,000 for 2017, 2016, and 2015, respectively, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts, management considers the age of the accounts receivable, the Company’s historical write-offs, and the credit worthiness of the customer, among other factors. Should any of these factors change, the estimates made by management will also change accordingly, which could affect the level of the Company’s future provision for doubtful accounts. Uncollectible accounts are written off when it is determined that the specific balance is not collectible. |
Investments | (h) Investments Investments consist of commercial paper, corporate bonds, government securities, certificates of deposits and marketable equity securities. The Company accounts for its investments in accordance with the Investments—Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company has classified its investment portfolio as “trading.” “Trading” securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term and are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in the determination of net earnings. For the purposes of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. Investments with maturities less than one year as of the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments and those that mature greater than one year are classified as long-term investments. |
Furniture, Equipment, and Purchased Computer Software | (i) Furniture, Equipment, and Purchased Computer Software Furniture, equipment and purchased computer software are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of buildings, computer equipment, purchased computer software, office furniture and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets (three years for computer equipment and software, seven years for office furniture and equipment and thirty years for buildings). Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the related lease term, whichever is shorter. Depreciation and amortization expense on buildings, furniture, equipment and purchased computer software was $731,000, $807,000, and $1,193,000 in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs | (j) Capitalized Computer Software Development Costs The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs in accordance with the FASB ASC Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed Topic. Costs incurred internally to create a computer software product or to develop an enhancement to an existing product are charged to expense when incurred as research and development expense until technological feasibility for the respective product is established. Thereafter, software development costs are capitalized and reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalization ceases when the product or enhancement is available for general release to customers. The Company makes ongoing evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized software projects by comparing the net amount capitalized for each product to the estimated net realizable value of the product. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized software development costs exceed the net realizable value, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized software development costs exceed net realizable value. Capitalized computer software development costs are amortized ratably based on the projected revenues associated with the related software or on a straight-line basis over three years, whichever method results in a higher level of amortization. Amortization of capitalized computer software development costs is included in the cost of license revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Total Expenditures and Amortization. Years ended April 30, 2017 2016 2015 (in thousands) Total capitalized computer software development costs $ 3,724 $ 3,246 $ 2,747 Total research and development expense 11,889 11,248 11,088 Total research and development expense and capitalized computer software-development costs $ 15,613 $ 14,494 $ 13,835 Total amortization of capitalized computer software development costs $ 4,250 $ 3,921 $ 3,663 Capitalized computer software development costs consist of the following at April 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands): 2017 2016 Capitalized computer software development costs $ 29,037 $ 25,313 Accumulated amortization (20,423 ) (16,173 ) $ 8,614 $ 9,140 Of the Company’s capitalized software projects that are currently completed and being amortized, the Company expects amortization expense for the next three years to be as follows (in thousands): 2018 $ 3,123 2019 2,864 2020 2,246 $ 8,233 |
Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets (exclusive of Logility's treasury stock repurchases) | (k) Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets (exclusive of Logility’s treasury stock repurchases) Acquisition-related intangible assets are stated at historical cost and include acquired software and certain other intangible assets with definite lives. The intangible assets are being amortized over a period ranging from one to eight years. For 2017, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $1,659,000, with $1,041,000 included in operating expense and $618,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For 2016, total amortization expense related to acquisition-related intangible assets was approximately $890,000, with $272,000 included in operating expense and $618,000 included in cost of license fees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles | (l) Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB ASC. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to, (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether the goodwill is impaired, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company identifies the reporting unit on a basis that is similar to its method for identifying operating segments as defined by the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. This evaluation is applied annually on each impairment testing date (April 30) unless there is a triggering event present during an interim period. For the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company performed a qualitative assessment based on economic, industry and company-specific factors as the initial step in the annual goodwill impairment test for all reporting units. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, companies are only required to perform Step 1 of the annual impairment test for a reporting unit if the company concludes that it is more likely than not that the unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. To the extent the Company concludes it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s estimated fair value is less than its carrying amount, the two-step approach is applied. The first step would require a comparison of each reporting unit’s fair value to the respective carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The Company did not identify any macroeconomic or industry conditions as of April 30, 2017, that would indicate the fair value of the reporting units were more likely than not to be less than their respective carrying values. If circumstances change or events occur to indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting units have fallen below their carrying value, the Company would test such reporting unit for impairment. For fiscal 2015, the Company used the Income and Market approaches to test for goodwill impairment as of the Valuation Date. The methodology utilized to implement the Income approach was the discounted cash flow (DCF) methodology. The methodologies utilized to implement the Market approach were the comparable company methodology (CCM) and the comparable transaction methodology (CTM). The valuation approaches we utilize in determining the fair value for each reporting unit were weighted 50%, 15%, and 35%, for the DCF, CTM, and CCM, respectively. In order to determine the proper weight given to each approach, the Company considers the methodologies utilized to implement each approach and the overall and industry-specific economic conditions and assumptions, which could affect the quality of the underlying data supporting each analysis. The Company considers the following valuation factors in connection with performing annual impairment testing: • The nature of the business or entity, the risks to which it is subject, and its historical patterns of growth; • The general economic outlook, the position of the industry in the existing economy, and the position of the business or entity within its industry; • The book value and general financial condition of the business or entity; • The earnings history and earnings capacity of the business or entity; • The dividend-paying capacity of the business or entity; • The market prices of stocks of businesses engaged in related activities, where such stocks are traded on an exchange or over-the-counter; • Any recent sales of the common stock of the business and the size of the block of stock to be valued; • The existence of undervalued tangible and intangible assets; and • Other special factors and circumstances of the business or entity that can be judged as important to the overall value. As noted above, the DCF methodology was given the most weight. The material assumptions utilized within this methodology were the long-term growth rate, weighted average cost of capital, financial projections, projected debt free cash flow and tax rate. The assumptions used by the Company have not changed materially from the prior year. In the event of impairment, the loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill to its carrying amount. In calculating the implied fair value of goodwill, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the other assets and liabilities of that unit based on their fair values. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amount assigned to its other assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The Company performed its periodic review of this goodwill for impairment as of April 30, 2015 and did not identify any goodwill impairment as a result of the review. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC. Goodwill consisted of the following by segment (in thousands): Enterprise Resource Supply Chain IT Total Balance at April 30, 2015 $ 1,812 $ 16,937 $ — $ 18,749 Balance at April 30, 2016 1,812 16,937 — 18,749 Goodwill related to the AdapChain Acquisition — 800 — 800 Balance at April 30, 2017 $ 1,812 $ 17,737 $ — $ 19,549 * Goodwill related to New Generation Computing, Inc. ** Goodwill related to Logility, Inc., Demand Management, Inc. and their acquisitions Intangible Assets (including Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets) consisted of the following by segment (in thousands): Enterprise Resource Supply Chain IT Total Balance at April 30, 2015 $ — $ 2,748 $ — $ 2,748 Amortization expense — (890 ) — (890 ) Balance at April 30, 2016 — 1,858 — 1,858 Intangibles related to the AdapChain Acquisition — 3,200 — 3,200 Amortization expense — (1,659 ) — (1,659 ) Balance at April 30, 2017 $ — $ 3,399 $ — $ 3,399 |
Income Taxes | (m) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. |
Use of Estimates | (n) Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to those related to collectability, capitalized software costs, goodwill, intangible asset impairment, income taxes, allocation of fair values in acquisitions and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Stock Compensation Plans | (o) Stock-Based Compensation The Company has four stock-based employee compensation plans under which options to purchase common stock of the Company were outstanding as of April 30, 2017. Those plans are described more fully in Note 7. In addition to two American Software plans, effective July 9, 2009, the Company adopted the Logility, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan and Logility, Inc. 2007 Stock Plan as equity plans of the Company in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of the shares of Logility common stock it did not previously own. The Company recorded stock option compensation cost of approximately $1,428,000, $1,593,000 and $1,530,000 and related income tax benefits of approximately $528,000, $586,000 and $542,000 for the years ended April 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense on current year grants is recorded on a straight-line basis over the vesting period for the entire award directly to additional paid-in capital. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, cash flows resulting from the tax benefits generated by tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows. During the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company realized tax benefits from stock options generated in previous and current periods resulting in approximately $384,000 of gross excess tax benefits which are included as a component of cash flows from financing activities in the accompanying 2015 consolidated statement of cash flows. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | (p) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as property, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet. |
Comprehensive Income | (q) Comprehensive Income The Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB ASC establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. The Company did not have any other comprehensive income items for 2017, 2016, or 2015. |
Earnings per Common Share | (r) Earnings per Common Share The Company has two classes of common stock of which Class B common shares are convertible into Class A common shares at any time, on a one-for-one basis. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, if dividends are declared, holders of Class A common shares shall receive a $.05 dividend per share prior to the Class B common shares receiving any dividend and holders of Class A common shares shall receive a dividend at least equal to Class B common shares dividends on a per share basis. As a result, the Company has computed the earnings per share in compliance with the Earnings Per Share Topic of the FASB ASC, which requires companies that have multiple classes of equity securities to use the “two-class” method in computing earnings per share. For the Company’s basic earnings per share calculation, the Company uses the “two-class” method. Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to each class of common stock by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. All undistributed earnings are allocated evenly between Class A and B common shares in the earnings per share calculation to the extent that earnings equal or exceed $.05 per share. This allocation is based on management’s judgment after considering the dividend rights of the two-classes of common stock, the control of the Class B shareholders and the convertibility rights of the Class B shares to Class A shares. If Class B shares convert to Class A shares during the period, the distributed net earnings for Class B shares is calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of options issuable under the Company’s stock incentive plans. For the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation for Class A shares, the Company uses the “if-converted” method. This calculation assumes that all Class B common shares are converted into Class A common shares and, as a result, assumes there are no holders of Class B common shares to participate in undistributed earnings. For the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation for Class B shares, the Company uses the “two-class” method. This calculation does not assume that all Class B common shares are converted into Class A common shares. In addition, this method assumes the dilutive effect of Class A stock options were converted to Class A shares and the undistributed earnings are allocated evenly to both Class A and B shares including Class A shares issued pursuant to those converted stock options. This allocation is based on management’s judgment after considering the dividend rights of the two-classes of common stock, the control of the Class B shareholders and the convertibility rights of the Class B shares into Class A shares. The following tables set forth the computation of basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share (in thousands except for per share amounts), see Note 7 for total stock options outstanding and potentially dilutive: Basic earnings per common share: Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended Class A Class B Class A Class B Class A Class B Distributed earnings per share $ 0.44 $ 0.44 $ 0.40 $ 0.40 $ 0.40 $ 0.40 Undistributed earnings/(loss) per share 0.06 0.06 (0.04 ) (0.04 ) (0.11 ) (0.11 ) Total per share $ 0.50 $ 0.50 $ 0.36 $ 0.36 $ 0.29 $ 0.29 Distributed earnings $ 11,845 $ 1,066 $ 10,479 $ 1,025 $ 10,301 $ 1,035 Undistributed earnings/(loss) 1,568 142 (1,148 ) (114 ) (2,914 ) (294 ) Total $ 13,413 $ 1,208 $ 9,331 $ 911 $ 7,387 $ 741 Basic weighted average common shares 26,793 2,439 26,143 2,584 25,696 2,587 Diluted EPS for Class A common shares using the If-Converted Method Year Ended April 30, 2017 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 13,413 26,793 $ 0.50 Common stock equivalents — 335 13,413 27,128 0.49 Class B conversion 1,208 2,439 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 14,621 29,567 $ 0.49 Year Ended April 30, 2016 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 9,331 26,143 $ 0.36 Common stock equivalents — 278 9,331 26,421 0.35 Class B conversion 911 2,584 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 10,242 29,005 $ 0.35 Year Ended April 30, 2015 Undistributed and Class A EPS* Per basic $ 7,387 25,696 $ 0.29 Common stock equivalents — 331 7,387 26,027 0.28 Class B conversion 741 2,587 Diluted EPS for Class A $ 8,128 28,614 $ 0.28 Diluted EPS for Class B common shares using the Two-Class Method Year Ended April 30, 2017 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 1,208 2,439 $ 0.50 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares (2 ) — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 1,206 2,439 $ 0.49 Year Ended April 30, 2016 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 911 2,584 $ 0.35 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares 2 — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 913 2,584 $ 0.35 Year Ended April 30, 2015 Undistributed and Class B EPS* Per basic $ 741 2,587 $ 0.29 Reallocation of undistributed earnings from Class A shares to Class B shares 4 — Diluted EPS for Class B $ 745 2,587 $ 0.29 * Amounts adjusted for rounding |
