SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ' | |||
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||||
Nature of Business | ||||
Numerex Corp. (NASDAQ: NMRX) is a leading provider of interactive and on-demand machine-to-machine, (referred to as M2M), technology and service, offered on a subscription basis, used in the development and support of M2M solutions for the enterprise and government markets worldwide. The Company offers Numerex DNA® that may include hardware and smart Devices, cellular and satellite Network services, and software Applications that are delivered through Numerex FAST® (Foundation Application Software Technology). In addition, business services are offered to enable the development of efficient, reliable, and secure solutions while accelerating deployment. Numerex is ISO 27001 information security-certified, highlighting the Company’s focus on M2M data security, service reliability, and round-the-clock support of its customers’ M2M solutions. | ||||
Basis of Presentation | ||||
The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial position of Numerex and its wholly owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||
Discontinued Operations | ||||
Businesses to be divested are classified in the consolidated financial statements as either discontinued operations or held for sale. For businesses classified as discontinued operations, the balance sheet amounts and results of operations are reclassified from their historical presentation to assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheet and to discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, respectively, for all periods presented. The gains or losses associated with these divested businesses are also recorded in discontinued operations the consolidated statements of income. Additionally, the accompanying notes do not include the assets, liabilities, or operating results of businesses classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Management does not expect any significant continuing involvement with these businesses following their divestiture and these businesses are expected to be disposed of within one year from the initial classification as discontinued operations. | ||||
Use of Estimates | ||||
In preparing our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and accounts and financing receivables. We maintain our cash and overnight investment balances in financial institutions, which typically exceed federally insured limits. We had cash balances in excess of these limits of $25.4 million and $4.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts and financing receivables from customers is limited. We perform credit evaluations of prospective customers and we evaluate our trade receivables periodically. Our accounts and financing receivables are at risk to the extent that we may not be able to collect from some of our customers. See Notes D, E and Q for more information. | ||||
Revenue Recognition | ||||
Our revenue is generated from two primary sources, subscription fees and the sale of M2M devices and hardware. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the hardware or service has been delivered, fees and prices are fixed and determinable, collection is reasonably assured and all other significant obligations have been fulfilled. Revenue is recognized net of sales and any transactional taxes. | ||||
Subscription fees are based on the number of devices (subscriptions) on our integrated M2M horizontal platform network. Subscription fees are typically invoiced and recognized as revenue as we provide the services or process transactions in accordance with contractual performance standards. Customer contracts are generally recurring or multi-year agreements. Subscription fees also include volume-based excess message, network usage and other activity that are recognized as revenue as incurred, consistent with contractual terms. We may, under an appropriate agreement, bill subscription fees in advance for the network service to be provided. In these instances, we recognize the advance charge (even if nonrefundable) as deferred revenue and recognize the revenue over future periods in accordance with the contract term as the network service (time, data or minutes) is provided, delivered or performed. Subscription revenue may also include set-up fees which are typically deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the contract. Direct and incremental costs associated with deferred revenue are deferred, classified as deferred costs in prepaid expense and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets and recognized in the period revenue is recognized. Unbilled revenue consists of earned but unbilled revenue that results from non-calendar month billing cycles and the one-month lag time in billing related to certain of our services. | ||||
We recognize revenue from the sale of M2M devices and hardware at the time of shipment and passage of title. Provisions for rebates, promotions, product returns and discounts to customers are recorded as a reduction in revenue in the same period that the revenue is recognized. We offer customers the right to return hardware that does not function properly within a limited time after delivery. We continuously monitor and track such hardware returns and record a provision for the estimated amount of such future returns based on historical experience and any notification received of pending returns. While such returns have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same return rates that we have experienced in the past. Any significant increase in hardware failure rates and the resulting credit returns could have a material adverse impact on operating results for the period or periods in which such returns materialize. Shipping and handling fees received from customers is recorded with embedded device and hardware revenue and associated costs are recorded in cost of embedded hardware and devices. | ||||
On occasion we sell both hardware and monthly recurring services to the same customer. In such cases, we evaluate such arrangements to determine if a multiple-element arrangement exists. For multiple-element revenue arrangements, we allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all elements using the relative selling price method. The hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable includes (a) vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, (b) third-party evidence, if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available and (c) best estimated selling price, if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. In most cases, vendor-specific objective evidence is available for us, as the vast majority of our business is either selling hardware or service on a standalone basis. Certain judgments and estimates are made and used to determine revenue recognized in any accounting period. If estimates are revised, material differences may result in the amount and timing of revenues recognized for a given period. | ||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||
We consider all investments with an original maturity of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of overnight repurchase agreements and amounts on deposit in foreign banks. Cash of $0.2 million and $0.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively was held in foreign bank accounts. | ||||
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ||||
Trade accounts receivable are stated at gross invoiced amounts less discounts, other allowances and provision for uncollectible accounts. Trade accounts receivable include earned but unbilled revenue that results from non-calendar month billing cycles and lag time in billing related to certain of our services. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30-90 days. We maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based principally upon specifically identified amounts where collection is deemed doubtful. Additional non-specific allowances are recorded based on historical experience and our assessment of a variety of factors related to the general financial condition and business prospects of our customer base. We review the collectability of individual accounts and assess the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. | ||||
Financing Receivables | ||||
Financing receivables are due in installments. We evaluate the credit quality of our financing receivables on an ongoing basis utilizing an aging of the accounts and write-offs, customer collection experience, the customer’s financial condition, known risk characteristics impacting the respective customer base, and other available economic conditions, to determine the appropriate allowance. Similar to accounts receivable, we typically do not require collateral. All amounts due at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were deemed fully collectible and an allowance was not necessary. | ||||
Inventories and Reserves for Excess, Slow-Moving and Obsolete Inventory | ||||
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and consist of (1) security devices and (2) cellular M2M Modems and Modules and (3) satellite M2M Modems. Cost is generally determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inbound freight costs, including raw material freight costs to contract manufacturers is recorded in inventory and these costs are recognized in cost of sales when the product is sold. Lower of cost or market value of inventory is determined at the operating unit level and evaluated quarterly. Estimated reserves for obsolescence or slow moving inventory are maintained based on current economic conditions, historical sales quantities and patterns and, in some cases, the specific risk of loss on specifically identified inventories. Such inventories are recorded at estimated realizable value net of the costs of disposal. | ||||
Property and Equipment | ||||
Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. Property and equipment under capital leases are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or over the service lives of the assets for those leases and leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter. Depreciation and amortization for property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives: | ||||
● | Machinery and equipment | 4-10 years | ||
● | Furniture, fixtures and fittings | 3-10 years | ||
● | Leasehold improvements | up to 10 years | ||
Capitalized Software | ||||
We capitalize software both for internal use and for inclusion in our products. For internal use software, costs incurred in the preliminary project stage of developing or acquiring internal use software are expensed as incurred. After the preliminary project stage is completed, management has approved the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose, we capitalize certain internal and external costs incurred to acquire or create internal use software, principally related to software coding, designing system interfaces and installation and testing of the software. We amortize capitalized internal use software costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years. | ||||
We capitalize software development costs for software embedded in our products when technological feasibility is established and conclude capitalization when the hardware is ready for release. We amortize capitalized costs for software to be sold using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life based on anticipated revenue streams of the software, generally three years. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred as engineering and development. | ||||
Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill | ||||
Intangible assets consist of patents and acquired intellectual property, trademarks, customer relationships and goodwill. These assets, except for goodwill, are amortized over their expected useful lives. Patents and acquired intellectual property are amortized using the straight-line method over 7 to 16 years, representing the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the period until the patent renews. Costs to maintain patents are expensed as incurred while costs to renew patents are capitalized and amortized over the remaining estimated useful lives. Customer relationships are amortized using the straight-line method over four to seven years. | ||||
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test, and more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would indicate a potential decline in its fair value. An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount. The annual assessment of goodwill for impairment includes comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to the carrying value, referred to as step one. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is necessary. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second test is performed, referred to as step two, to measure the amount of impairment to goodwill, if any. To measure the amount of any impairment, we determine the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if we were acquiring the affected reporting unit in a business combination. Specifically, we allocate the fair value of the affected reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical calculation that would yield the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the goodwill recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, an impairment charge for the difference is recorded. | ||||
We base the impairment analysis of goodwill on estimated fair values. The assumptions, inputs and judgments used in performing the valuation analysis are inherently subjective and reflect estimates based on known facts and circumstances at the time the valuation is performed. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, discount rates, terminal growth rates, projected revenues and costs, projected cash flows, and capital expenditure forecasts. | ||||
We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, absent any impairment indicators or other changes that may cause more frequent analysis. We did not identify any impairment as a result of our annual assessment. In addition, we assess on a quarterly basis whether any events have occurred or circumstances have changed that would indicate an impairment could exist. | ||||
We elected to change our annual goodwill impairment testing measurement date from December 31 to October 1 effective October 1, 2013, primarily to correspond to our annual strategic, financial planning and budgeting processes. The change in annual testing dates did not affect our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2013 or any interim or prior periods. Furthermore, the change did not impact the evaluation of goodwill as there have been no events or circumstances that have occurred subsequent to October 1, 2013 that would raise concern that the conclusion that would have been reached when evaluating goodwill as of December 31, 2013 would be different than the conclusion reached when evaluating goodwill as of October 1, 2013. | ||||
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | ||||
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed 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 which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. | ||||
Income Taxes | ||||
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applied to taxable income. 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. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. | ||||
We conduct business globally and file income tax returns in the United States and in many state and certain foreign jurisdictions. We are subject to state and local income tax examinations for years after and including 1998. These tax years remain open due to the net operating losses generated in these years that have not been utilized as of the year ended December 31, 2013. Likewise, the existence of net operating losses from earlier periods could subject us to United States federal income tax examination for years including and after 2001, since such net operating losses have not been utilized as of the year ended December 31, 2013. Our 2007 U.S. federal return was audited by the Internal Revenue Service and the examination was concluded in March 2010 with a minor increase to the federal alternative minimum tax liability. | ||||
Treasury Stock | ||||
We account for treasury stock under the cost method. When treasury stock is re-issued at a higher price than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital to the extent that there are gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in additional paid-in capital, the losses are recorded as a component of accumulated deficit. | ||||
Foreign Currency Translation | ||||
The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the period end spot exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at estimated average exchange rates for each period. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Foreign operations are not significant to us for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011. | ||||
Engineering and Development | ||||
Engineering and development expenses that are not capitalizable as software development costs are charged to operations in the period in which they are incurred. Engineering and development costs consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, bonuses, and third-party services. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, engineering and development costs recorded in operations were $4.9 million, $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. | ||||
Advertising Expenses | ||||
Advertising expenses are charged to operations in the period in which they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, advertising costs were approximately $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. | ||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||
The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, as follows: | ||||
Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. | ||||
Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. | ||||
Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. | ||||
The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value, principally because of the short-term, maturity of those items. The fair value of our capitalized lease obligation approximates carrying value based on the short-term maturity of the obligation. The fair value of our long-term financing receivables and note payable approximates carrying value based on their effective interest rates compared to current market rates and similar type borrowing arrangements. | ||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ||||
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. We will comply with the presentation requirements of this guidance for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2014. Because the guidance only affects presentation, we do not expect adoption to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. | ||||
In March 2013, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards to clarify the applicable guidance for a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. | ||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have any impact on our financial conditions or results of operations. |

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the decision was made to exit certain businesses and related products that are not core to future business plans. These non-core businesses include BNI Solutions, Inc. (BNI), Digilog, Inc. and DCX Systems, Inc. These businesses were previously reported in our consolidated financial statements as a separate segment, “Other Services”. The related products and services include video conferencing hardware and installation of telecommunications equipment, all of which are unrelated to our core M2M communication products and services. We anticipate the disposal of the discontinued operations to be completed within one year from the initial classification as discontinued operations. | |||||||||||||
All assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations have been reclassified into two line items, assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, and classified as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All revenue and expense of the discontinued operations have been reclassified and presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as results of discontinued operations, net of income taxes, after income from continuing operations, net of income tax benefit and before net income. Similarly, all cash flows of the discontinued operations have been reclassified and presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from discontinued operations. | |||||||||||||

Discontinued operations include $0.9 million for the impairment of historical BNI goodwill, $0.6 million additional reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable and less than $0.1 million estimated costs to sell the discontinued operations. The carrying value of BNI goodwill was reevaluated for impairment in conjunction with our decision to exit these non-core businesses. We will not be pursuing new sales of BNI products and services and do not anticipate significant recurring sales to existing customers. These qualitative factors were indicators that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the BNI reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. We estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using a discounted cash flow model, resulting in the estimated fair value being less than carrying value of the reporting unit. To measure the amount of any impairment, we determined the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if we were acquiring the reporting unit in a business combination. Specifically, we allocated the fair value of the reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical calculation. Based on this calculation, we determined that the associated goodwill was fully impaired. | |||||||||||||

On February 1, 2013, we acquired substantially all of the assets and business of a small technology company that provided products and services for environmental monitoring, wireless remote control and monitoring, wireless sensor networks, and connected device consulting. We acquired the company’s assets to expand our technical capabilities and the markets we serve. Total consideration was $1.1 million, comprised of $0.2 million in cash and 73,587 shares of our common stock having a fair value at the time of issuance of $0.9 million and the assumption of certain liabilities. The issued shares of common stock are subject to various time-based selling restrictions. | |||||||||

The allocation to intangible assets is preliminary, pending completion of our final determination of their fair value. | |||||||||
The total purchase consideration for both of the 2013 acquisitions was allocated to identifiable assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on fair value. The fair values of intangible assets other than goodwill acquired in the two acquisitions were estimated using common valuation techniques. The fair value of acquired software was estimated using a cost approach based on assumptions of our historical software development costs. The fair value of trademarks was based on an income approach with key assumptions including estimated royalty rates to license the trademarks from a third party. The valuation of customer relationships utilized an income approach and discounted cash flows taking into consideration the number of customer relationships acquired and estimated customer turnover. Amortization expense related to the two acquisitions was less than $0.3 million from the date of their respective acquisitions. | |||||||||
No portion of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill in the February 2013 acquisition. The $1.5 million excess of the total consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired in December 2013 was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents expected synergies between us and the acquired business and the value that the acquisition provides to support and widen our M2M platform capabilities in the supply chain and remote monitoring markets. Goodwill is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. | |||||||||
The results of operations and cash flows are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and include $0.4 million of revenue and approximately $0.2 million net loss before income taxes. Each of the 2013 acquisitions included the addition of five employees.

2012 Acquisition | |||||||||
On October 1, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets of a small technology business. The acquired assets consisted primarily of technology and intellectual property, including a portfolio of patents. The acquisition supports and widens our M2M platform capabilities in real-time monitoring of critical assets and events. Total consideration was $4.4 million, comprised of $2.0 million in cash, $1.9 million promissory note payable to the sellers, 41,521 shares of our common stock having a fair value at the time of issuance of $0.5 million and the assumption of certain liabilities. | |||||||||

We lease certain hardware devices to a small number of hardware distributors under sales-type leases expiring in various years through 2018. These receivables typically have terms ranging from two to four years and bear interest at 2%. Because the devices are not functional on our network without an active service agreement with us, we can de-activate devices for non-payment, and have therefore established a history of successfully collecting amounts due under the original payment terms without making concessions to customers. In addition, our long-standing relationship with these high credit quality customers supports our assertion that revenues are fixed and determinable and probable of collection. Financing receivables also include leases acquired in a recent business combination. The acquired leases are also with high credit quality customers and have terms ranging from 4 to 5 years and bear interest at 7% to 8%. See Note C. | |||||||||

Our financing receivables are comprised of a single portfolio segment because of the small number of customers and the similar nature of the sales-type leasing arrangements. We evaluate the credit quality of financing receivables based on a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, customer collection experience, economic conditions, the customer’s financial condition and known risk characteristics impacting the respective end users of our customers. In addition to specific account identification, we utilize historical collection experience from our population of similar customers to establish any allowance for credit losses. Financing receivables are placed in non-accrual status after 60 days of nonpayment and written off only after we have exhausted all collection efforts. We have been successful collecting financing receivables and consider the credit quality of such arrangements to be good, especially as the underlying service is required for functionality and can be deactivated for non-payment. We have not experienced any credit losses for any period in the three years ended December 31, 2013. | |||||||||
Customer payments are considered past due if a scheduled payment is not received within contractually agreed upon terms. As of December 31, 2013, there were no financing receivables past due more than 30 days. |

During 2011, we purchased and installed telecommunication infrastructure equipment and related equipment to improve the capacity and functionality of our devices operating on one of our carrier networks. To comply with the needs of one of our carriers and in exchange for more favorable carrier fees, we transferred the legal right to the equipment to the vendor. Thus, our existing agreement with this vendor was amended to provide for the new carrier fees and the legal transfer of the equipment. We accounted for this transaction as a non-monetary exchange. The $2.2 million cost of the equipment was determined to be its fair value and we recorded this transaction by transferring the equipment cost to prepaid carrier fees. The prepaid expense is being amortized in cost of sales for subscription revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, which is ten years. | |||||||||
Cost method investments include our minority interests of less than 20% in two privately-held businesses. In October 2013, we completed the sale of a cost method investment in a privately-held M2M solutions company based in the United Kingdom. The carrying value of our investment was $0.3 million and we sold it for net proceeds of $0.6 million resulting in a gain of $0.3 million. | |||||||||
Our investments did not provide us the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entities. Since the entities were not publicly traded, no established market for the securities existed. Our cost-method investment is carried at historical cost in our consolidated financial statements and assessed for impairment when indicators of impairment exist. We have not recorded any impairment charges for the cost-method investments for any period during the three years ended December 31, 2013. |

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a deferred income tax benefit of $2.4 million primarily consisting of a tax accounting method change allowing a one-time acceleration and catch-up of depreciation and amortization. The tax accounting method change related to our 2003 acquisition of our former joint venture partner’s interest in our Cellemetry LLC subsidiary. | |||||||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we determined that it would be more likely than not that the cumulative federal net operating losses and certain other deferred tax assets would be recoverable. This determination was based on our sustained profitable operating performance over the past three years and continued expectations for future income. Accordingly, we released our valuation allowance against these items. We have maintained a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets that we determined we will likely not utilize before expiration. These deferred tax assets consist of certain state net operating losses, tax credits, and foreign net operating losses. As a result of the release of the valuation allowance we recognized a deferred tax benefit of $4.8 million. | |||||||||||||

We evaluate liabilities for uncertain tax positions and, as of December 31, 2013, we recorded a net decrease to the liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $0.1 million in income tax benefit. This amount is comprised of tax benefits recognized on the settlement of certain prior period state tax matters and the corresponding accrual of estimated penalties and interest. Our total unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 were approximately $0.1 million including estimated penalties and interest. We anticipate a decrease to the balance of total unrecognized tax benefits of less than $0.1 million within the next 12 months. Our effective tax rate will be favorably affected if we are able to recognize these tax benefits. | |||||||||||||

At December 31, 2013, debt included $1.1 million due on a seller-financed note payable from a 2012 business acquisition and no outstanding balance or letters of credit on our combined $15.0 million credit facility further described below. | ||||||
On May 4, 2010, we and our subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (Loan Agreement) with Silicon Valley Bank (Bank). On April 25, 2011, we, our subsidiaries and the Bank entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement in order to, among other things, increase the revolving line of credit from $5.0 million to $10.0 million. On November 5, 2012, we further amended our Loan and Security Agreement (Amended Loan Agreement) with the Bank. This amendment created a total loan facility of $19.8 million (Credit Facility) which included a $10.0 million acquisition line of credit (Acquisition Line); a $5.0 million revolving line of credit and the conversion of existing borrowings from the Bank to a $4.8 million Term Loan. The revolving line of credit and the Term Loan are for working capital and general business requirements. The Acquisition Line is to finance permitted acquisitions which are defined as a similar line of business as us or a reasonable extension thereof. | ||||||
The amount available to us under the revolving line of credit and the acquisition line at any given time is the lesser of (a) $15.0 million or (b) the amount available under its borrowing base (two and half times Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Loan Agreement), measured on a 12 month trailing average) minus (1) the dollar equivalent amount of all outstanding letters of credit plus an amount equal to the letter of credit reserve amount (as set forth in the Amended Loan Agreement), (2) 10% of each outstanding foreign exchange contract and (3) any amounts used for cash management service. We are obligated to repay the principal amount of the Term Loan in consecutive quarterly installments of $300,000 each. We must also repay 5% of the principal amount outstanding under the Acquisition Line on the first day of each calendar quarter. | ||||||
Our obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries. In addition, we are required to meet certain financial and other restrictive covenants customary with this type of facility, including maintaining a senior leverage ratio, a fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum liquidity availability. We are also prohibited from paying dividends. The Amended Loan Agreement contains customary events of default. If a default occurs and is not cured within any applicable cure period or is not waived, any outstanding obligations under the Credit Facility may be accelerated. We were in compliance with all of the Bank’s financial covenants at December 31, 2013. | ||||||
In connection with our acquisition of a small technology business in October 2012, we entered into a Promissory Note of $1.9 million payable to the sellers of the business. This Promissory Note bears interest at the greater of prime plus 1% or 4.25% (4.25% as of December 31, 2013) and is payable in monthly installments through September 2015. As of December 31, 2013, the balance outstanding on the Promissory Note was $1.1 million and future maturities are summarized as follows (in thousands). | ||||||

We record leases in which we have substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership as capital leases and all other leases as operating leases. For leases determined to be capital leases, we record the assets held under capital lease and related obligations at lesser of the present value of aggregate future minimum lease payments or the fair value of the assets held under capital lease. We amortize the underlying assets over the expected life of the assets if we will retain title to the assets at the end of the lease term; otherwise we amortize the asset over the term of the lease. | ||||||
During 2013, we entered into a sale leaseback arrangement for computer and network equipment having a value of $0.7 million and expiring in 2015. The arrangement was recorded as a capital lease because we retained the risks and benefits of the underlying assets.

The leases also have options to renew for 60-65 months at the end of their terms.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | ' | ||||||||||||
EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION | ' | ||||||||||||
NOTE O – EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION | |||||||||||||
Compensation cost is recognized for all equity-based payments granted and expected to vest and is based on the grant-date fair value estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and a lattice model for awards with market conditions. Our determination of fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using the option-pricing model is affected by our share price and our valuation assumptions. These primary variables include our expected share price volatility over the estimated life of the awards and actual and projected exercise behaviors. | |||||||||||||
As employees vest in their awards, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period with an offsetting credit to additional paid-in capital. Equity-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures are expected to differ from those estimates. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, equity-based compensation expense was $1.9 million, $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. | |||||||||||||
We have outstanding awards granted pursuant to two shareholder approved equity-based compensation plans: the Long Term Incentive Plan (1999 Plan) and the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (2006 Plan). The 1999 Plan was terminated and replaced by the 2006 Plan. Equity-based awards outstanding under the 1999 Plan remain in effect, but no new awards may be granted under that plan. A total of 3.0 million shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance through the plans. Stock options and equity-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs) are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of grant; the awards generally vest over four years of continuous service and have a contractual term of ten years. Grants of non-vested restricted stock awards to employees generally vest over four years of continuous service and grants to non-employee directors generally vest over one year. Certain awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the plans). | |||||||||||||
The recipient of a SAR is generally entitled to receive, upon exercise and without payment to us (but subject to required tax withholdings), that number of shares having an aggregate fair market value as of the date of exercise multiplied by an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value per share on the date of exercise over the fair market value per share at the date of the grant. | |||||||||||||
The fair value of stock options and SARs is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Certain grants to executives require achievement of market conditions before the grant may be exercised. The fair value of awards with market exercise conditions is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice model with a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of all awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. | |||||||||||||
Use of a valuation model requires us to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Changes in these input variables would affect the amount of expense associated with equity-based compensation. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common shares over the expected term of the stock option or SAR. Expected term is based on historical exercise and employee termination data and represents the period of time that options and SARs are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates corresponding to the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Dividend yield is zero as there are no payments of dividends made or expected. The fair value of non-vested restricted stock awards is based on the fair market value of the shares awarded at the date of grant multiplied by the number of shares awarded. | |||||||||||||
The assumptions to estimate the grant date fair value of stock options and SARs, including those with market conditions, are summarized as follows: | |||||||||||||

Basic earnings per common share available to common shareholders is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excluding the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended | |||
Dec. 31, 2013 | ||||
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | |||
Basis of Presentation | ' | |||
Basis of Presentation | ||||
The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial position of Numerex and its wholly owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||
Discontinued Operations | ' | |||
Discontinued Operations | ||||
Businesses to be divested are classified in the consolidated financial statements as either discontinued operations or held for sale. For businesses classified as discontinued operations, the balance sheet amounts and results of operations are reclassified from their historical presentation to assets and liabilities of discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheet and to discontinued operations on the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows, respectively, for all periods presented. The gains or losses associated with these divested businesses are also recorded in discontinued operations the consolidated statements of income. Additionally, the accompanying notes do not include the assets, liabilities, or operating results of businesses classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Management does not expect any significant continuing involvement with these businesses following their divestiture and these businesses are expected to be disposed of within one year from the initial classification as discontinued operations. | ||||
Use of Estimates | ' | |||
Use of Estimates | ||||
In preparing our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those related to revenue recognition, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, goodwill and intangible assets and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' | |||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments and accounts and financing receivables. We maintain our cash and overnight investment balances in financial institutions, which typically exceed federally insured limits. We had cash balances in excess of these limits of $25.4 million and $4.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts and financing receivables from customers is limited. We perform credit evaluations of prospective customers and we evaluate our trade receivables periodically. Our accounts and financing receivables are at risk to the extent that we may not be able to collect from some of our customers. See Notes D, E and Q for more information. | ||||
Revenue Recognition | ' | |||
Revenue Recognition | ||||
Our revenue is generated from two primary sources, subscription fees and the sale of M2M devices and hardware. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the hardware or service has been delivered, fees and prices are fixed and determinable, collection is reasonably assured and all other significant obligations have been fulfilled. Revenue is recognized net of sales and any transactional taxes. | ||||
Subscription fees are based on the number of devices (subscriptions) on our integrated M2M horizontal platform network. Subscription fees are typically invoiced and recognized as revenue as we provide the services or process transactions in accordance with contractual performance standards. Customer contracts are generally recurring or multi-year agreements. Subscription fees also include volume-based excess message, network usage and other activity that are recognized as revenue as incurred, consistent with contractual terms. We may, under an appropriate agreement, bill subscription fees in advance for the network service to be provided. In these instances, we recognize the advance charge (even if nonrefundable) as deferred revenue and recognize the revenue over future periods in accordance with the contract term as the network service (time, data or minutes) is provided, delivered or performed. Subscription revenue may also include set-up fees which are typically deferred and recognized ratably over the life of the contract. Direct and incremental costs associated with deferred revenue are deferred, classified as deferred costs in prepaid expense and other assets in our consolidated balance sheets and recognized in the period revenue is recognized. Unbilled revenue consists of earned but unbilled revenue that results from non-calendar month billing cycles and the one-month lag time in billing related to certain of our services. | ||||
We recognize revenue from the sale of M2M devices and hardware at the time of shipment and passage of title. Provisions for rebates, promotions, product returns and discounts to customers are recorded as a reduction in revenue in the same period that the revenue is recognized. We offer customers the right to return hardware that does not function properly within a limited time after delivery. We continuously monitor and track such hardware returns and record a provision for the estimated amount of such future returns based on historical experience and any notification received of pending returns. While such returns have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same return rates that we have experienced in the past. Any significant increase in hardware failure rates and the resulting credit returns could have a material adverse impact on operating results for the period or periods in which such returns materialize. Shipping and handling fees received from customers is recorded with embedded device and hardware revenue and associated costs are recorded in cost of embedded hardware and devices. | ||||
On occasion we sell both hardware and monthly recurring services to the same customer. In such cases, we evaluate such arrangements to determine if a multiple-element arrangement exists. For multiple-element revenue arrangements, we allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all elements using the relative selling price method. The hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable includes (a) vendor-specific objective evidence, if available, (b) third-party evidence, if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available and (c) best estimated selling price, if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available. In most cases, vendor-specific objective evidence is available for us, as the vast majority of our business is either selling hardware or service on a standalone basis. Certain judgments and estimates are made and used to determine revenue recognized in any accounting period. If estimates are revised, material differences may result in the amount and timing of revenues recognized for a given period. | ||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' | |||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||
We consider all investments with an original maturity of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of overnight repurchase agreements and amounts on deposit in foreign banks. Cash of $0.2 million and $0.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively was held in foreign bank accounts. | ||||
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ' | |||
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ||||
Trade accounts receivable are stated at gross invoiced amounts less discounts, other allowances and provision for uncollectible accounts. Trade accounts receivable include earned but unbilled revenue that results from non-calendar month billing cycles and lag time in billing related to certain of our services. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are generally due within 30-90 days. We maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based principally upon specifically identified amounts where collection is deemed doubtful. Additional non-specific allowances are recorded based on historical experience and our assessment of a variety of factors related to the general financial condition and business prospects of our customer base. We review the collectability of individual accounts and assess the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts quarterly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. | ||||
Financing Receivables | ' | |||
Financing Receivables | ||||
Financing receivables are due in installments. We evaluate the credit quality of our financing receivables on an ongoing basis utilizing an aging of the accounts and write-offs, customer collection experience, the customer’s financial condition, known risk characteristics impacting the respective customer base, and other available economic conditions, to determine the appropriate allowance. Similar to accounts receivable, we typically do not require collateral. All amounts due at December 31, 2013 and 2012 were deemed fully collectible and an allowance was not necessary. | ||||
Inventories and Reserves for Excess, Slow-Moving and Obsolete Inventory | ' | |||
Inventories and Reserves for Excess, Slow-Moving and Obsolete Inventory | ||||
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and consist of (1) security devices and (2) cellular M2M Modems and Modules and (3) satellite M2M Modems. Cost is generally determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inbound freight costs, including raw material freight costs to contract manufacturers is recorded in inventory and these costs are recognized in cost of sales when the product is sold. Lower of cost or market value of inventory is determined at the operating unit level and evaluated quarterly. Estimated reserves for obsolescence or slow moving inventory are maintained based on current economic conditions, historical sales quantities and patterns and, in some cases, the specific risk of loss on specifically identified inventories. Such inventories are recorded at estimated realizable value net of the costs of disposal. | ||||
Property and Equipment | ' | |||
Property and Equipment | ||||
Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. Property and equipment under capital leases are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or over the service lives of the assets for those leases and leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter. Depreciation and amortization for property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives: | ||||
● | Machinery and equipment | 4-10 years | ||
● | Furniture, fixtures and fittings | 3-10 years | ||
● | Leasehold improvements | up to 10 years | ||
Capitalized Software | ' | |||
Capitalized Software | ||||
We capitalize software both for internal use and for inclusion in our products. For internal use software, costs incurred in the preliminary project stage of developing or acquiring internal use software are expensed as incurred. After the preliminary project stage is completed, management has approved the project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose, we capitalize certain internal and external costs incurred to acquire or create internal use software, principally related to software coding, designing system interfaces and installation and testing of the software. We amortize capitalized internal use software costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, generally three years. | ||||
We capitalize software development costs for software embedded in our products when technological feasibility is established and conclude capitalization when the hardware is ready for release. We amortize capitalized costs for software to be sold using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life based on anticipated revenue streams of the software, generally three years. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred as engineering and development. | ||||
Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill | ' | |||
Intangible Assets, Including Goodwill | ||||
Intangible assets consist of patents and acquired intellectual property, trademarks, customer relationships and goodwill. These assets, except for goodwill, are amortized over their expected useful lives. Patents and acquired intellectual property are amortized using the straight-line method over 7 to 16 years, representing the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the period until the patent renews. Costs to maintain patents are expensed as incurred while costs to renew patents are capitalized and amortized over the remaining estimated useful lives. Customer relationships are amortized using the straight-line method over four to seven years. | ||||
Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to an annual impairment test, and more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would indicate a potential decline in its fair value. An impairment charge will be recognized only when the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount. The annual assessment of goodwill for impairment includes comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to the carrying value, referred to as step one. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is necessary. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second test is performed, referred to as step two, to measure the amount of impairment to goodwill, if any. To measure the amount of any impairment, we determine the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if we were acquiring the affected reporting unit in a business combination. Specifically, we allocate the fair value of the affected reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical calculation that would yield the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the goodwill recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, an impairment charge for the difference is recorded. | ||||
We base the impairment analysis of goodwill on estimated fair values. The assumptions, inputs and judgments used in performing the valuation analysis are inherently subjective and reflect estimates based on known facts and circumstances at the time the valuation is performed. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, discount rates, terminal growth rates, projected revenues and costs, projected cash flows, and capital expenditure forecasts. | ||||
We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, absent any impairment indicators or other changes that may cause more frequent analysis. We did not identify any impairment as a result of our annual assessment. In addition, we assess on a quarterly basis whether any events have occurred or circumstances have changed that would indicate an impairment could exist. | ||||
We elected to change our annual goodwill impairment testing measurement date from December 31 to October 1 effective October 1, 2013, primarily to correspond to our annual strategic, financial planning and budgeting processes. The change in annual testing dates did not affect our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2013 or any interim or prior periods. Furthermore, the change did not impact the evaluation of goodwill as there have been no events or circumstances that have occurred subsequent to October 1, 2013 that would raise concern that the conclusion that would have been reached when evaluating goodwill as of December 31, 2013 would be different than the conclusion reached when evaluating goodwill as of October 1, 2013. | ||||
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | ' | |||
Impairment of Long-lived Assets | ||||
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed 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 which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. | ||||
Income Taxes | ' | |||
Income Taxes | ||||
We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates applied to taxable income. 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. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized. | ||||
We conduct business globally and file income tax returns in the United States and in many state and certain foreign jurisdictions. We are subject to state and local income tax examinations for years after and including 1998. These tax years remain open due to the net operating losses generated in these years that have not been utilized as of the year ended December 31, 2013. Likewise, the existence of net operating losses from earlier periods could subject us to United States federal income tax examination for years including and after 2001, since such net operating losses have not been utilized as of the year ended December 31, 2013. Our 2007 U.S. federal return was audited by the Internal Revenue Service and the examination was concluded in March 2010 with a minor increase to the federal alternative minimum tax liability. | ||||
Treasury Stock | ' | |||
Treasury Stock | ||||
We account for treasury stock under the cost method. When treasury stock is re-issued at a higher price than its cost, the difference is recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital to the extent that there are gains to offset the losses. If there are no treasury stock gains in additional paid-in capital, the losses are recorded as a component of accumulated deficit. | ||||
Foreign Currency Translation | ' | |||
Foreign Currency Translation | ||||
The assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the period end spot exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at estimated average exchange rates for each period. Resulting translation adjustments are reflected as other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Foreign operations are not significant to us for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 or 2011. | ||||
Engineering and Development | ' | |||
Engineering and Development | ||||
Engineering and development expenses that are not capitalizable as software development costs are charged to operations in the period in which they are incurred. Engineering and development costs consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, bonuses, and third-party services. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, engineering and development costs recorded in operations were $4.9 million, $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. | ||||
Advertising Expenses | ' | |||
Advertising Expenses | ||||
Advertising expenses are charged to operations in the period in which they are incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, advertising costs were approximately $0.7 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. | ||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' | |||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||
The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, as follows: | ||||
Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. | ||||
Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. | ||||
Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. | ||||
The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value, principally because of the short-term, maturity of those items. The fair value of our capitalized lease obligation approximates carrying value based on the short-term maturity of the obligation. The fair value of our long-term financing receivables and note payable approximates carrying value based on their effective interest rates compared to current market rates and similar type borrowing arrangements. | ||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' | |||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ||||
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This guidance is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. We will comply with the presentation requirements of this guidance for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2014. Because the guidance only affects presentation, we do not expect adoption to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. | ||||
In March 2013, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards to clarify the applicable guidance for a parent company’s accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. Adoption is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. | ||||
In February 2013, the FASB issued an update to the accounting standards to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2013 and the adoption did not have any impact on our financial conditions or results of operations. |
