Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apyx and its wholly owned subsidiary, Apyx Bulgaria, EOOD, (collectively, the “Company” or “we”, “our” or “us”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company concluded that the divestiture of the Core business on August 30 th , 2018 met the criteria for discontinued operations set forth in FASB ASC Topic No. 205, " Presentation of Financial Statements. " The Company reclassified its discontinued operations for all periods presented and has excluded the results of its discontinued operations from continuing operations and from segment results for all periods presented. On August 30 th , 2018, we sold our Core business and discontinued those operations. All the information in the financial statements has been restated to reflect this disposition. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. Cash and Cash Equivalents Holdings of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Short-term Investments Our short-term investments principally consist of US Treasury Bills, which are classified available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value as of the balance sheet date. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. Short-term investments generally mature between three months and three years from the purchase date. Investments with maturities beyond one year are classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent investments readily available for current operations. Marketable securities less than or equal to 3 months are identified as cash equivalents while marketable securities with a maturity duration over 3 months are considered short term investments. The Treasury Bill investments accrue interest monthly, which is treated as interest income. Realized gains or losses are determined on the specific identification method and are reflected in other income. Net unrealized gains and losses are recorded on a quarterly basis. Fair Values of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk The carrying amounts of our financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature. Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consists primarily of short term investments and trade accounts receivable. With respect to cash, we frequently maintain cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. Derivative Financial Instruments We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market risks. However, certain financial instruments, such as warrants, which are indexed to our common stock, are classified as liabilities when either (a) the holder possesses rights to net-cash settlement or (b) physical or net-share settlement is not within our control. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial accounting and reporting purposes, even if the terms of the underlying contracts do not always provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments are initially recorded and continuously carried, at fair value. Determining the fair value of these instruments involves judgment and the use of certain relevant assumptions including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, historical volatility and stock price, estimated life of the derivative, anti-dilution provisions and conversion/redemption privileges. The use of different assumptions or changes in those assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our credit terms for our billings range from net 10 days to net 90 days, depending on the customer agreement. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due if payments are not made in accordance with such agreements and an allowance is generally recorded for accounts that become three months past due, or sooner if there are other indicators that the receivables may not be recovered. Customary collection efforts are initiated, and receivables are written off when we determine they are not collectible and abandon these collection efforts. We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for adequacy based upon our periodic review of the collectability of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to pay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Management believes that the allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017 , respectively, are, or were, adequate to provide for possible bad debts. Inventories and Repair Parts Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Factory overhead costs are allocated to inventory manufactured in-house based upon labor hours. We monitor usage reports to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the item and adjust the inventory for estimated obsolescence or unusable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventories consisted of the following: (In thousands) December 31, December 31, Raw materials $ 4,521 $ 5,163 Finished goods 1,130 1,024 Gross inventories 5,651 6,187 Less: reserve for obsolescence (439 ) (1,913 ) Net inventories of continuing operations 5,212 4,274 Finished goods of discontinued operations — 2,252 Net inventories of continuing and discontinued operations $ 5,212 $ 6,526 Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Betterments and large improvements, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized, whereas maintenance and repairs and small improvements are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives are: machinery and equipment, 3 - 10 years; buildings, 39 years; molds, 7 - 15 years and furniture and fixtures, 5 - 10 years. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of licenses and purchased technology. The licenses and purchased technology are being amortized by the straight-line method over a 5 - 17 year period commencing with the date they were placed in service. Goodwill of $0.2 million resulted from our acquisition of Apyx Bulgaria, EOOD. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets We review long-lived assets for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may have been impaired. This circumstance exists when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In those cases an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the assets’ carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Any impairment losses are not restored in the future if the fair value increases. At December 31, 2018 , we believe the remaining carrying values of our long-lived assets are recoverable. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when title has been transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or receipt by customer for FOB destination terms. The following policies apply to our major categories of revenue transactions: • The majority of our sales to customers are evidenced by firm purchase orders. Generally, title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer when the product is shipped. Payment by the customer is due under fixed payment terms. • Product returns are only accepted at our discretion and in accordance with our “Returned Goods Policy”. Historically, the level of product returns has not been significant. We accrue for sales returns, rebates and allowances based upon an analysis of historical customer returns and credits, rebates, discounts and current market conditions. • Our terms of sale to customers generally do not include any obligations to perform future services. Limited warranties are generally provided for sales and provisions for warranty are provided at the time of product sale based upon an analysis of historical data. • Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling charges are included in sales. Shipping and handling costs included in cost of sales were approximately $0.2 million , $0.2 million and $0.2 million in 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. ASU No. 2014-09 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2018, and we adopted the new accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. The modified retrospective transition approach recognized any changes from the beginning of the year of initial application through retained earnings with no restatement of comparative periods. We record revenue under ASC 606 at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer, which is consistent with past practice. We will continue to apply our current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. Based on the results of the evaluation, we have determined that the adoption of the new standard presents no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Application of the transition requirements of the new standard did not have a material impact and, as such, no entry was recorded to opening retained earnings. We have disaggregated revenue by segment and geography in Note 16 Geographic and Segment Information. Based on the current state of our business, management does not see a material reason to disaggregate further. Advertising Costs All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amounts of advertising costs were approximately $0.4 million , $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . FASB ASC 718 requires recognizing compensation costs for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based upon the awards’ grant date fair value. The standard covers employee stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards. For stock options, we use a trinomial lattice option-pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock option awards and recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting periods. Litigation Contingencies In accordance with authoritative guidance, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Net (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share We compute basic (loss) earnings attributable to common shareholders per share by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to common shareholders gives effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive shares is calculated using the treasury method which reduces the effective number of shares by the amount of shares we could purchase with the proceeds of assumed exercises. Research and Development Costs With the exception of development costs that are purchased from another enterprise and have alternative future use, research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. We have expended approximately $2.5 million and $1.9 million and $1.0 million for the years ended 2018 , 2017 and 2016 respectively. Research and Development Costs for Others For research and development activities that are partially or completely funded by other parties and when the obligation is incurred solely to perform contractual services, expenses are charged to cost of sales and all revenues resulting from such activities are shown as sales. Income Taxes The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes". Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis difference. A valuation allowances is recorded when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances the Company considers projected future taxable income and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset with finite lives. As a result of historical losses, exclusive of discontinued operations, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets beyond the 2018 tax year. The Company will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results of continuing operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable. As Management expects the Company to continue to generate losses in the foreseeable future after 2018, the Company will continue to record a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets balance as of December 31, 2018. We assess the financial statement impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. As of December 31, 2018, we have reserved $1.3 million of potential tax benefits in accrued expenses. |

DISPOSITION OF THE CORE BUSINESS | DISPOSITION OF THE CORE BUSINESS On August 30, 2018, we closed on a definitive asset purchase agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") with Specialty Surgical Instrumentation Inc., a Tennessee Corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Symmetry Surgical Inc. (“Symmetry”), pursuant to which the Company divested and sold the Company's electrosurgical "Core" business segment and related intellectual property, including the Bovie ® brand and trademarks, to Symmetry for gross proceeds of $97 million in cash. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, we entered into an Electro Surgical Disposables and Accessories, Cauteries and Other Products Supply Agreement with Symmetry for a four -year term, whereby we will manufacture certain Core products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Any revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are netted and reported in our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Other gains or (losses) in the amount of $(0.2) million for 2018. Core sales following the divestiture amounted to $1.5 million with cost of sales of $1.5 million and related operating expenses of $0.2 million . Additionally, in connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Manufacture and Supply Agreement with Symmetry for a ten -year term, whereby we will manufacture certain products and sell them to Symmetry at agreed upon prices. Revenue, costs and expenses resulting from this agreement are reported as a component in our Consolidated Statements as income or loss from operations of our OEM reporting segment. We concluded that the divestiture of the Core business met the criteria for discontinued operations set forth in FASB ASC Topic No. 205, " Presentation of Financial Statements" . Gross sales of the Core business prior to the divestiture during 2018 amounted to $19.6 million with a cost of sales of $10.5 million and related operating expenses of $2.8 million .

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | EARNINGS PER SHARE We compute basic earnings per share (“basic EPS”) by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share (“diluted EPS”) gives effect to all dilutive potential shares outstanding. The following table provides the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . The purpose of this ASU is to reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. It eliminates the need for entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under this ASU, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, however we have chosen not to do so. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash Flows provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, which are now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending cash amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. Using the retrospective transition method required under the standard, the Company has adjusted the presentation of its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 did not have any other impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table provides additional detail by financial statement line item of the ASU 2016-18 impact in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 : (In thousands) As Reported (Pre-Adoption) ASU 2016-18 Reported (Post Adoption) Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2018 Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 5,798 $ — $ 5,798 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 9,949 719 10,668 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 15,747 $ 719 $ 16,466 Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2017 Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ (4,507 ) $ (60 ) $ (4,567 ) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 14,456 779 15,235 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 9,949 $ 719 $ 10,668 ASU No. 2014-09 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2018, and we adopted the new accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. The modified retrospective transition approach recognized any changes from the beginning of the year of initial application through retained earnings with no restatement of comparative periods. We record revenue under ASC 606 at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer, which is consistent with past practice. We will continue to apply our current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. Based on the results of the evaluation, we have determined that the adoption of the new standard presents no material impact on our consolidated financial statements and thus no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded. We have disaggregated revenue by segment and geography in Note 13 Geographic and Segment Information. Based on the current state of our business, management does not see a material reason to disaggregate further. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months, as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 requires recognition in the statement of operations of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. ASU 2016-02 requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Disclosures are required to provide the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and does not believe it will have a material impact on the financial statement presentation. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
INCOME TAXES | INCOME TAXES On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2) bonus depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property; (3) creating a new limitation on deductible interest expense; (4) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized; (5) changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; and (6) limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation. The SEC issued guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. The Company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting is known. As a result of the reduction act in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% under the Tax Reform Act, the Company revalued its net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2017, resulting in an income tax benefits of $0.196 million included in the provision for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company has not made additional measurement window adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2018. Components of the provision for income taxes from 2018 continuing operations and 2017 and 2016 all operations are as follows: (In thousands) December 31, December 31, December 31, Current: Federal $ (3,073 ) $ — $ — State (754 ) 22 38 Foreign 20 17 26 (3,807 ) 39 64 Deferred: Federal 24 1,581 (2,505 ) State 63 (401 ) (277 ) Foreign — — — 87 1,180 (2,782 ) Valuation Allowance (57 ) (1,375 ) 2,782 Total Provision for Income Tax from continuing operations $ (3,777 ) $ (156 ) $ 64 The Company recognized tax expense of $1.20 million attributable to income from discontinued operations and $16.14 million attributable to the gain on sales of the Core business in the Income Statement in the year ended December 31, 2018. Below is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to our effective tax rate: Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2016 Federal tax provision 21.0 % 34.0 % 34.0 % State taxes (net of federal benefit) 5.6 % 4.8 % 3.7 % Warrant gains — % 0.4 % 31.4 % Valuation allowance 0.4 % 28.9 % (71.8 )% Change in federal tax rate — % (71.2 )% — % Other 1.9 % 6.2 % 1.5 % Total 28.9 % 3.1 % (1.2 )% Major components of the Company’s deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, are as follows: (In thousands) December 31, December 31, December 31, Deferred tax assets: Loss and credit carry-forwards $ — $ 7,722 $ 9,169 Stock-based compensation 636 549 519 Inventory Reserve 115 494 534 Intangibles 146 — — Other 744 178 263 Total deferred tax assets 1,641 8,943 10,485 Valuation allowance (1,491 ) (8,756 ) (10,185 ) Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 150 187 300 Deferred tax liabilities: State taxes (capital) — (17 ) (19 ) Property and equipment (150 ) (294 ) (459 ) Intangibles — (244 ) (386 ) Total deferred tax liabilities (150 ) (555 ) (864 ) Net deferred tax liabilities $ — $ (368 ) $ (564 ) We consider all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, including past operating results and future sources of taxable income. For the period ended December 31, 2018, it is expected that the gain from the sale of the Core business segment to Symmetry will substantially utilize all of the historical Federal net operating loss carryover of $23.8 million and state(s) net operating loss carryover of $19.1 million . As a result, the valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets as well as other deferred tax assets was released during the year ended December 31, 2018 and the Company recorded a tax benefit from discontinued operations of $7.32 million from the release of the valuation allowance. We assess the financial statement impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. As of December 31, 2018, we have reserved $1.3 million of potential tax benefits. The following is a roll-forward of the Company's total gross unrecognized tax benefits, not including interest and penalties, for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Property and Rental Agreements In March 2014, we signed a lease for offices located in Purchase, New York. In December 2017, we decided to consolidate operations in the Purchase, NY office with the facility in Clearwater, Florida. Based on this, we determined the office in Purchase, NY was no longer necessary and decided to cease all activity at the location. In August 2018, we negotiated a termination of the remainder of the lease, releasing us from any future obligation. In October 2015, pursuant to our acquisition of Apyx Bulgaria, we are obligated to pay a lease of approximately $6,000 per month, expiring in December 2021, for approximately 20,000 square feet of office, research and manufacturing space in Sofia, Bulgaria. The following is a schedule of approximate future minimum lease payments under operating leases as of December 31, 2018 : (In thousands) 2019 $ 70 2020 70 2021 70 Total $ 210 On August 30, 2018, the Company paid the remaining mortgage balance related to the Clearwater, FL, facility, releasing us from any and all obligations to the Bank of Tampa. Litigation The medical device industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, and we are and may become subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business, including claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors, and with respect to our products and product liability claims, lawsuits and proceedings. We are involved in a number of legal actions relating to the use of our J-Plasma technology. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within our complete control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses, and such claims are adequately covered by insurance, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on our financial condition. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of our policy or if our insurance carriers disclaim coverage, we believe it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows. In accordance with authoritative guidance, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. Purchase Commitments At December 31, 2018 , we had purchase commitments for inventories totaling approximately $3.0 million , substantially all of which is expected to be purchased by the end of 2019 . Severance Jay D. Ewers, the Chief Financial Officer, resigned as an officer of the Company effective December 31, 2018, although he continued on as an employee during the first quarter of 2019.

Except for the increase in the number of shares covered by the Plan, the Plan remained otherwise unchanged. In 2001, the Board of Directors adopted the 2001 Executive and Employee Stock Option Plan which reserved for issuance 1.2 million stock options. Stock options typically have a ten -year life and currently vest over a seven year period. In July of 2012, the stockholders approved the 2012 Share Incentive Plan covering a total of 750,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options to be granted under the plan. At December 31, 2018 approximately 70,000 remain to be issued in this plan. In July of 2015, the stockholders approved the 2015 Executive and Employee Stock Option Plan covering a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options to be granted under the plan. At December 31, 2018 approximately 326,000 remain to be issued in this plan. In August of 2017, the stockholders approved the 2017 Executive and Employee Stock Option Plan covering a total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options to be granted under the plan. At December 31, 2018 approximately 1,783,000 remain to be issued in this plan. The status of our stock options and stock awards are summarized as follows: Number of options Weighted average exercise price Outstanding at December 31, 2015 3,131,447 $ 3.38 Granted 810,762 1.87 Exercised (36,250 ) 3.62 Canceled and forfeited (153,750 ) 3.69 Outstanding at December 31, 2016 3,752,209 $ 3.04 Granted 1,728,000 3.09 Exercised (176,750 ) 2.41 Canceled and forfeited (443,302 ) 3.95 Outstanding at December 31, 2017 4,860,157 $ 3.00 Granted 225,000 2.40 Exercised (1,378,615 ) 2.43 Canceled and forfeited (225,841 ) 2.10 Outstanding at December 31, 2018 3,480,701 $ 3.10 Exercisable at December 31, 2018 2,129,581 $ 3.20 Number of options Weighted average grant date fair value Non-vested at December 31, 2017 2,232,435 $ 1.40 Granted 225,000 2.40 Vested (880,474 ) 1.63 Forfeited (225,841 ) 2.10 Non-vested at December 31, 2018 1,351,120 $ 1.48 Common shares required to be issued upon the exercise of stock options and warrants would be issued from our authorized and unissued shares. We calculated the fair value of issued options utilizing a trinomial lattice with an expected life calculated via the simplified method as we do not have sufficient history to determine actual expected life. 2018 Grants 2017 Grants 2016 Grants Option value $1.46 - $3.04 $1.73 - $2.34 $0.80 - $0.91 Risk-free rate 1.9% - 2.5% 1.5% - 1.9% 1.5% 1.8% Expected dividend yield —% —% —% Expected volatility 60.9% - 68.8% 62.1% - 68.0% 49.5% - 50.3% Expected term (in years) 6 6 6 As of December 31, 2018 , the aggregate intrinsic value of all stock options outstanding and expected to vest was approximately $11,954,354 and the aggregate intrinsic value of currently exercisable stock options was approximately $6,976,636 . The intrinsic value of each option share is the difference between the fair market value of our common stock and the exercise price of such option share to the extent it is “in-the-money”. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had they exercised their options on the last trading day of the year and sold the underlying shares at the closing stock price on such day. The intrinsic value calculation is based on the $6.48 closing stock price of our common stock on December 31, 2018 , the last trading day of 2018 . The total number of in-the-money options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2018 ,was approximately 5,310,711 . As of December 31, 2017 , the aggregate intrinsic value of all stock options outstanding and expected to vest was approximately $1,306,791 and the aggregate intrinsic value of currently exercisable stock options was approximately $768,706 . The intrinsic value calculation is based on the $2.60 closing stock price of our common stock on December 31, 2017 , the last trading day of 2017 . The total number of in-the-money options outstanding and exercisable as of December 31, 2017 , was approximately 2,318,887 . The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 ,was approximately $4,460,842 , $223,340 and $119,026 , respectively. Intrinsic value of exercised shares is the total value of such shares on the date of exercise less the cash received from the option holder to exercise the options. The total cash proceeds received from the exercise of stock options was approximately $202,575 , $0 , and $12,300 for the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. The total fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , was approximately $540,000 , $3,144,960 and $1,516,125 , respectively. The total fair value of option shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 , was approximately $1,435,173 , $805,747 and $612,464 , respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018 , we issued 808,272 common shares in exchange for 1,378,615 non-employee stock options and 570,343 common shares (via stock swaps). During the year ended December 31, 2017 , we issued 47,372 common shares in exchange for 176,750 non-employee stock options and 129,378 common shares (via stock swaps).

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION | GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION Operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments only if they exhibit similar economic characteristics. In addition to similar economic characteristics, we also consider the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to our chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. Our reportable segments are disclosed as principally organized and managed as two operating segments: Advanced Energy and OEM. "Corporate & Other" includes certain unallocated corporate and administrative costs which were not specifically attributed to any reportable segment. Net assets are shared, therefore, not allocated to the reportable segments. The OEM segment is primarily development and manufacturing contract and product driven, all related expenses are recorded as cost of sales, therefore no segment specific operating expenses are incurred. Summarized financial information with respect to reportable segments is as follows: Year ended December 31, 2018 (In thousands) Advanced Energy OEM Corporate (Other) Total Sales $ 13,068 $ 3,618 $ — 16,686 Income (loss) from operations (6,326 ) 1,795 (9,069 ) (13,600 ) Severance and related expense — — 741 741 Interest income — — 616 616 Interest expense — — (104 ) (104 ) Income tax benefit — — (3,777 ) (3,777 ) Year ended December 31, 2017 (In thousands) Advanced Energy OEM Corporate (Other) Total Sales $ 7,636 $ 2,598 $ — $ 10,234 Income (loss) from operations (3,957 ) 1,353 (11,281 ) (13,885 ) Severance and related expense — — 1,524 1,524 Interest income — — — — Interest expense — — (136 ) (136 ) Income tax benefit — — (156 ) (156 ) Year ended December 31, 2016 (In thousands) Advanced Energy OEM Corporate (Other) Total Sales $ 3,491 $ 5,328 $ — $ 8,819 Income (loss) from operations (4,812 ) 3,045 (9,625 ) (11,392 ) Severance and related expense — — — — Interest income — — — — Interest expense — — (158 ) (158 ) Income tax expense — — 64 64 International sales in 2018, 2017 and 2016 were 22.9% , 13.2% and 3.9% of sales, respectively.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Consolidated Financial Statements | The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apyx and its wholly owned subsidiary, Apyx Bulgaria, EOOD, (collectively, the “Company” or “we”, “our” or “us”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company concluded that the divestiture of the Core business on August 30 th , 2018 met the criteria for discontinued operations set forth in FASB ASC Topic No. 205, " Presentation of Financial Statements. " The Company reclassified its discontinued operations for all periods presented and has excluded the results of its discontinued operations from continuing operations and from segment results for all periods presented. On August 30 th , 2018, we sold our Core business and discontinued those operations. All the information in the financial statements has been restated to reflect this disposition. |
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Holdings of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. |
Short-term Investments | Our short-term investments principally consist of US Treasury Bills, which are classified available-for-sale and are carried at their fair value as of the balance sheet date. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. Short-term investments generally mature between three months and three years from the purchase date. Investments with maturities beyond one year are classified as short-term based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent investments readily available for current operations. Marketable securities less than or equal to 3 months are identified as cash equivalents while marketable securities with a maturity duration over 3 months are considered short term investments. The Treasury Bill investments accrue interest monthly, which is treated as interest income. Realized gains or losses are determined on the specific identification method and are reflected in other income. Net unrealized gains and losses are recorded on a quarterly basis. |
Fair Values of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk | The carrying amounts of our financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature. Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consists primarily of short term investments and trade accounts receivable. With respect to cash, we frequently maintain cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market risks. However, certain financial instruments, such as warrants, which are indexed to our common stock, are classified as liabilities when either (a) the holder possesses rights to net-cash settlement or (b) physical or net-share settlement is not within our control. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial accounting and reporting purposes, even if the terms of the underlying contracts do not always provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments are initially recorded and continuously carried, at fair value. Determining the fair value of these instruments involves judgment and the use of certain relevant assumptions including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, historical volatility and stock price, estimated life of the derivative, anti-dilution provisions and conversion/redemption privileges. The use of different assumptions or changes in those assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Our credit terms for our billings range from net 10 days to net 90 days, depending on the customer agreement. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due if payments are not made in accordance with such agreements and an allowance is generally recorded for accounts that become three months past due, or sooner if there are other indicators that the receivables may not be recovered. Customary collection efforts are initiated, and receivables are written off when we determine they are not collectible and abandon these collection efforts. We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for adequacy based upon our periodic review of the collectability of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to pay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. |
Inventories and Repair Parts | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Factory overhead costs are allocated to inventory manufactured in-house based upon labor hours. We monitor usage reports to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the item and adjust the inventory for estimated obsolescence or unusable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. |
Property and Equipment | Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Betterments and large improvements, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized, whereas maintenance and repairs and small improvements are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives are: machinery and equipment, 3 - 10 years; buildings, 39 years; molds, 7 - 15 years and furniture and fixtures, 5 - 10 years. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible assets consist of licenses and purchased technology. The licenses and purchased technology are being amortized by the straight-line method over a 5 - 17 year period commencing with the date they were placed in service. |
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets | We review long-lived assets for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may have been impaired. This circumstance exists when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In those cases an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the assets’ carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Any impairment losses are not restored in the future if the fair value increases. At December 31, 2018 , we believe the remaining carrying values of our long-lived assets are recoverable. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue is recognized when title has been transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or receipt by customer for FOB destination terms. The following policies apply to our major categories of revenue transactions: • The majority of our sales to customers are evidenced by firm purchase orders. Generally, title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer when the product is shipped. Payment by the customer is due under fixed payment terms. • Product returns are only accepted at our discretion and in accordance with our “Returned Goods Policy”. Historically, the level of product returns has not been significant. We accrue for sales returns, rebates and allowances based upon an analysis of historical customer returns and credits, rebates, discounts and current market conditions. • Our terms of sale to customers generally do not include any obligations to perform future services. Limited warranties are generally provided for sales and provisions for warranty are provided at the time of product sale based upon an analysis of historical data. • Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling charges are included in sales. Shipping and handling costs included in cost of sales were approximately $0.2 million , $0.2 million and $0.2 million in 2018 , 2017 and 2016 , respectively. ASU No. 2014-09 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2018, and we adopted the new accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. The modified retrospective transition approach recognized any changes from the beginning of the year of initial application through retained earnings with no restatement of comparative periods. We record revenue under ASC 606 at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer, which is consistent with past practice. We will continue to apply our current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. Based on the results of the evaluation, we have determined that the adoption of the new standard presents no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Application of the transition requirements of the new standard did not have a material impact and, as such, no entry was recorded to opening retained earnings. We have disaggregated revenue by segment and geography in Note 16 Geographic and Segment Information. Based on the current state of our business, management does not see a material reason to disaggregate further. |
Advertising Costs | All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. |
Stock-Based Compensation | We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . FASB ASC 718 requires recognizing compensation costs for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based upon the awards’ grant date fair value. The standard covers employee stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards. For stock options, we use a trinomial lattice option-pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock option awards and recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting periods. |
Litigation Contingencies | In accordance with authoritative guidance, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded. |
Net (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share | We compute basic (loss) earnings attributable to common shareholders per share by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to common shareholders gives effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive shares is calculated using the treasury method which reduces the effective number of shares by the amount of shares we could purchase with the proceeds of assumed exercises. |
Research and Development Costs | With the exception of development costs that are purchased from another enterprise and have alternative future use, research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. |
Research and Development Costs for Others | For research and development activities that are partially or completely funded by other parties and when the obligation is incurred solely to perform contractual services, expenses are charged to cost of sales and all revenues resulting from such activities are shown as sales. |
Income Taxes | The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes". Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis difference. A valuation allowances is recorded when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances the Company considers projected future taxable income and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset with finite lives. As a result of historical losses, exclusive of discontinued operations, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset and does not anticipate recording an income tax benefit related to these deferred tax assets beyond the 2018 tax year. The Company will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results of continuing operations improve and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realizable. As Management expects the Company to continue to generate losses in the foreseeable future after 2018, the Company will continue to record a valuation allowance on the remaining deferred tax assets balance as of December 31, 2018. We assess the financial statement impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. As of December 31, 2018, we have reserved $1.3 million of potential tax benefits in accrued expenses. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . The purpose of this ASU is to reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating goodwill for impairment. It eliminates the need for entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under this ASU, an entity will perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, however we have chosen not to do so. The amendment is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash Flows provides guidance on the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, which are now included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending cash amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. Using the retrospective transition method required under the standard, the Company has adjusted the presentation of its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-18 did not have any other impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table provides additional detail by financial statement line item of the ASU 2016-18 impact in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 : (In thousands) As Reported (Pre-Adoption) ASU 2016-18 Reported (Post Adoption) Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2018 Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 5,798 $ — $ 5,798 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 9,949 719 10,668 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 15,747 $ 719 $ 16,466 Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2017 Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ (4,507 ) $ (60 ) $ (4,567 ) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period 14,456 779 15,235 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period $ 9,949 $ 719 $ 10,668 ASU No. 2014-09 (ASC 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers became effective for us beginning with the first quarter of 2018, and we adopted the new accounting standard using the modified retrospective transition approach. The modified retrospective transition approach recognized any changes from the beginning of the year of initial application through retained earnings with no restatement of comparative periods. We record revenue under ASC 606 at a single point in time, when control is transferred to the customer, which is consistent with past practice. We will continue to apply our current business processes, policies, systems and controls to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. Based on the results of the evaluation, we have determined that the adoption of the new standard presents no material impact on our consolidated financial statements and thus no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded. We have disaggregated revenue by segment and geography in Note 13 Geographic and Segment Information. Based on the current state of our business, management does not see a material reason to disaggregate further. In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months, as well as the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 requires recognition in the statement of operations of a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. ASU 2016-02 requires classification of all cash payments within operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Disclosures are required to provide the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and does not believe it will have a material impact on the financial statement presentation. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures. |
