Description Of The Business And Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description Of The Business And Significant Accounting Policies	1. Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies
	Description of the Business
	ARI Network Services, Inc. (“ARI” or “the Company”) creates software-as-a-service (“SaaS”), data-as-a-service (“DaaS”) and other solutions that help equipment manufacturers, distributors and dealers in selected vertical markets to Sell More Stuff!™ – online and in-store. We remove the complexity of selling and servicing new and used inventory, parts, garments, and accessories (”PG&A”) for customers in the outdoor power equipment (“OPE”), powersports, automotive tire and wheel (“ATW”), home medical equipment (“HME”), marine, recreational vehicle (“RV”) and appliances industries.  Our innovative products are powered by a proprietary library of enriched original equipment and aftermarket content that spans more than 750,000 equipment models from over 1,500 manufacturers. More than 23,500 equipment dealers, 195 distributors and 3,360 brands worldwide leverage our web and eCatalog platforms to Sell More Stuff!
	We were incorporated in Wisconsin in 1981.  Our principal executive office and headquarters is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The office address is 10850 West Park Place, Suite 1200, Milwaukee, WI 53224, and our telephone number at that location is (414) 973-4300. Our principal website address is www.arinet.com.  ARI also maintains operations in Duluth, Minnesota; Cypress, California; Floyds Knobs, Indiana; Cookeville, Tennessee; Salt Lake City, Utah and Leiden, The Netherlands.
	Basis of Presentation
	These consolidated financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of ARI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ARI Europe B.V. and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  We eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.  All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.
	Fiscal Year
	Our fiscal year ends on July 31. References to fiscal 2015, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2015, and references to fiscal 2014 refer to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014.
	Revenue Recognition
	Revenues from subscription fees for use of our software, access to our catalog content, and software maintenance and support fees are all recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement. ARI considers all arrangements with payment terms extending beyond 12 months not to be fixed or determinable and evaluates other arrangements with payment terms longer than normal to determine whether the arrangement is fixed or determinable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. Arrangements that include acceptance terms beyond the standard terms are not recognized until acceptance has occurred. If collectability is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.
	For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.
	Revenues for professional services to customize complex features and functionality in a product’s base software code or develop complex interfaces within a customer’s environment are recognized as the services are performed if they are determined to have standalone value to the customer or if all of following conditions are met i) the customer has a contractual right to take possession of the software; ii) the customer will not incur significant penalty if it exercises this right; and iii) it is feasible for the customer to either run the software on its own hardware or contract with another unrelated party to host the software .  When the current estimates of total contract revenue for professional services and the total related costs indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made in the period the amount is determined.  Professional service revenues for set-up and integration of hosted websites, or other services considered essential to the functionality of other elements of the arrangement, are amortized over the term of the contract.
	Revenue for variable transaction fees, primarily for use of the shopping cart feature of our websites, is recognized as it is earned.
	Amounts received for shipping and handling fees are reflected in revenue.  Costs incurred for shipping and handling are reported in cost of revenue.
	Amounts invoiced to customers prior to recognition as revenue, as discussed above, are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as deferred revenue.
	No single customer accounted for 5% or more of ARI’s revenue during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014.
	Trade Receivables, Credit Policy and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
	Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due on normal trade terms, most of which require payment within thirty (30) days from the invoice date.  Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.
	The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.  Management individually reviews receivable balances that exceed ninety (90) days from the invoice date and, based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected.  The allowance for potential doubtful accounts is reflected as an offset to trade receivables in the accompanying balance sheets.
	Capitalized and Purchased Software Product Costs
	Certain software development and acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Capitalization of these costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the on-going assessment of recoverability of software costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, the determination of technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies.
	The amortization of software products is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product which currently runs from two to nine years. Amortization starts when the product is available for general release to customers.  The Company capitalizes software enhancements on an on-going basis and all other software development and support expenditures are charged to expense in the period incurred.
	Deferred Loan Fees and Debt Discounts
	Fees associated with securing debt are capitalized and included in prepaid expense and other and other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.  Common stock issued in connection with securing debt is recorded to debt discount, reducing the carrying amount of the debt on the consolidated balance sheet.  Deferred loan fees and debt discounts are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
	Deferred Income Taxes
	The tax effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the estimated tax benefit from tax net operating losses is reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. An assessment of the likelihood that net deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income is performed at each reporting date or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a change in the valuation allowance. Because the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets is highly subject to the outcome of future events, the amount established as valuation allowance is considered to be a significant estimate that is subject to change in the near term. To the extent a valuation allowance is established or there is a change in the allowance during a period, the change is reflected with a corresponding increase or decrease in the tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Legal Provisions
	ARI is periodically involved in legal proceedings arising from contracts, patents or other matters in the normal course of business. We reserve for any material estimated losses if the outcome is probable and reasonably estimable, in accordance with GAAP.   We had no provisions for legal proceedings during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014.

Basic And Diluted Net Income Per Share [Abstract]
Basic And Diluted Net Income Per Common Share	2. Basic and Diluted Net Income per Common Share
	Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and reflects the potential dilution that could occur if all of ARI’s outstanding stock options and warrants that are in the money were exercised (calculated using the treasury stock method).
	The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share (in thousands, except per share data):

Debt	3.     Debt
	Silicon Valley Bank
	On April 26, 2013, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), pursuant to which SVB extended to the Company credit facilities consisting of a $3,000,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of April 26, 2015 and a $4,500,000 term loan with a maturity date of April 26, 2018.  The Agreement replaced the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement with Fifth Third Bank.
	On September 30, 2014, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Tire Company Solutions, LLC (“TCS”), the Company entered into the First Loan Modification Agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with SVB, which contained substantial amendments to the terms of the Agreement.
	The Modification Agreement includes credit facilities consisting of a $3,000,000 revolving credit facility with a maturity date of September 30, 2016 and a $6,050,000 term loan with a maturity date of September 30, 2019.  This term loan is an amendment to the existing $4,500,000 term loan with an original maturity date of April 26, 2018.
	The term loan and any loans made under the SVB revolving credit facility accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to the Prime rate plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans set forth in the chart below determined based on the Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Modification Agreement.  The Company had $750,000 outstanding on the revolving credit facility and the effective interest rate was 3.75% at January 31, 2015.
			Applicable Margin			Applicable Margin
	Total Leverage Ratio		for Libor Loans			for Prime Rate Loans

	<=/font>1.75 to 1.00:		2.75	%		0.50	%
	Principal in respect of any loans made under the revolving facility is required to be paid in its entirety on or before September 30, 2016.  Principal in respect of the term loan is required to be paid in quarterly installments on the first day of each fiscal quarter of the Company as follows:  $151,250 commenced on November 1, 2014 through August 1, 2016; $226,875 commencing on November 1, 2016 through August 1, 2017; and $302,500 commencing on November 1, 2017 through August 1, 2019.  All remaining principal in respect of the term loan is due and payable on September 30, 2019.  The Company is permitted to prepay all of, but not less than all of, the outstanding principal amount of the term loan upon notice to SVB and, in certain circumstances, the payment of a prepayment penalty of up to $121,000.  Following July 31, 2015, the Modification Agreement requires the Company to make additional payments in the amount of 25% of excess cash flow until the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00.
	The Modification Agreement contains covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain conditions, the ability of the Company to permit a change of control, incur debt, create liens on its assets, make certain investments, enter into merger or acquisition transactions and make distributions to its shareholders. Financial covenants include the maintenance of a minimum Total Leverage Ratio equal to or less than 3.00 to 1.00 and the maintenance of a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Modification Agreement) equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.00. The Modification Agreement also contains customary events of default that, if triggered, could result in an acceleration of the Company’s obligations under the Modification Agreement.  The loans are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all assets of the Company.
	TCS Promissory Notes
	In connection with the acquisition of TCS, on September 30, 2014, the Company issued two promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 to the former owners of TCS. In February 2015, the principal amount of the Notes was reduced by $66,575 as a result of post-closing adjustments to the valuation of the net assets acquired, pursuant to the terms of the asset purchase agreement.  The Notes initially will accrue interest on the outstanding unpaid principal balance at a rate per annum equal to 5.0%; however, if any amount payable under a Note is not paid when due, such overdue amount will bear interest at the default rate of 7.5% from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full. Accrued interest on the Notes will be due and payable quarterly commencing on December 29, 2014 and continuing on each 90th calendar day thereafter, until September 30, 2018, at which time all accrued interest and outstanding principal balance will be due and payable in full. The first four payments due and payable under the Notes will be interest only payments, and payments of principal and interest shall not commence until the payment due on December 29, 2015. The payments are subject to acceleration upon certain Events of Default, as defined in the Notes.
	The following table sets forth certain information related to the Company’s long-term debt as of January 31, 2015 and July 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combinations	4. Business Combinations
	On September 30, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of TCS, a leading provider of software, websites and digital marketing services designed exclusively for dealers, wholesalers, retreaders and manufacturers within the automotive tire and wheel industries. Consideration for the acquisition included (1) a cash payment equal to $4,200,000; (2) 618,744 shares of the Company's common stock; (3) the issuance of two promissory notes in aggregate principal amount of $2,933,000 (as adjusted) to the former owners of TCS; and (4) a contingent earn-out purchase price contingent upon the attainment of specific revenue goals over the first three years following the acquisition.
	The acquisition eliminated a direct competitor and increased the Company’s portfolio of automotive tire and wheel dealer websites by more than 30%.  The acquisition is expected to accelerate ARI’s opportunity to drive organic growth through the cross‐selling of new products.  It also provides solutions for the entire automotive tire and wheel supply chain, including wholesalers, retreaders and manufacturers.  TCS offers a business management solution for tire and wheel dealers as well as for auto repair shops.  The combined customer benefits and operational efficiencies are expected to result in a stronger organization that can create more value for our customers, shareholders and employees.
	The acquisition was funded from cash on hand, an increase in our SVB Term Loan, funds available on our revolving credit facility and seller financing.  The following tables show the preliminary allocation of the purchase price (in thousands):
				Purchase
				Price
		Cash		$	4,200
		Financed by note payable			2,933
		Issuance of common stock			1,980
		Contingent earn-out			711
		Purchase price		$	9,824
				Preliminary
				Purchase
				Allocation
		Trade receivables, less allowance for doubtful accounts of $260		$	594
		Prepaid expense and other			34
		Assumed liabilities			-628
		Furniture and equipment			120
		Software product costs			790
		Intangible assets			4,080
		Goodwill			4,834
		Purchase price allocation		$	9,824
	Estimated intangible assets include the fair value of tradenames, customer relationships, and non-competition agreements.  Estimated goodwill represents the additional benefits provided to the Company by the acquisition of TCS through operational synergies.  The Company cannot determine revenue and expenses specifically related to the TCS operation since the date of acquisition, as we have begun integration of the businesses.  The Company acquired approximately $5,200,000 of tax deductible goodwill related to the TCS acquisition.
	The final purchase price, as well as the purchase price allocation, is subject to the completion of the final valuation of the net assets acquired and contingent earn-out. The final valuation is expected to be completed as soon as is practicable but no later than September 30, 2015 and could have a material impact on the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed above.
	The following preliminary unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents the Company's results as if the Company had acquired TCS on August 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma information has been prepared with the following considerations:

	On November 1, 2013, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of DUO Web Solutions (“DUO”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 1, 2013.  DUO was a leading provider of social media and online marketing services for the powersports industry, which is in line with the Company’s strategy to grow the digital marketing services side of the business.  The Company determined that the DUO assets acquired did not constitute a business that is “significant” as defined in the applicable SEC regulations, nor did it have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
	On August 17, 2012, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Ready2Ride, Incorporated (“Ready2Ride”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 17, 2012.  Ready2Ride markets aftermarket fitment data to the powersports industry, which furthers ARI’s differentiated content strategy and expands ARI’s product offerings into aftermarket PG&A.
	Consideration for the Ready2Ride acquisition included $500,000 in cash, 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and assumed liabilities totaling approximately $419,000, a contingent hold-back purchase price of up to $250,000 and a contingent earn-out purchase price ranging from, in aggregate, $0 to $1,500,000.
	On October 22, 2013, the Company amended the Ready2Ride Asset Purchase Agreement in relation to the earn-out payments as follows: (i) the first earn-out payment was composed of $125,000 paid in October 2013 and 10,000 shares of common stock issued in November 2013; (ii) the second earn-out payment of $125,000, was paid in September 2014 and 15,000 shares of common stock were issued in September 2014; and (iii) the third earn-out payment is composed of $125,000 and 15,000 shares of common stock payable in September 2015.
	The contingent holdback and earn-out payable was initially measured at fair value on a recurring basis calculated using the present value of future estimated revenue over the next three years, which was originally estimated at $750,000. Prior to the amendment, because the contingent earn-out payable had no comparable market data or significant observable inputs to determine fair value, it was classified as a Level 3 measurement.  Because the amended Asset Purchase Agreement defines the future payments based on cash and Company stock actively traded, and the payments are no longer contingent on future events, the earn-out is now classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement.  Unrealized gains and losses for changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.
	The Company recorded a gain on change in fair value of the estimated contingent earn-out payable of approximately $26,000 or $0.00 per basic and diluted share as a result of the amendment in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
	The remaining estimated contingent payments due as of January 31, 2015 related to the Ready2Ride and TCS acquisitions are as follows (in thousands):
	2016		$	679

Disposition Of A Component Of An Entity	5.     Disposition of a Component of an Entity
	On March 1, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Globalrange Corporation (“Globalrange”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company sold to Globalrange certain rights and assets relating to our electronic data interchange business for the agricultural chemicals industry (the “AgChem EDI Business”).  Because the AgChem EDI Business was not a separate entity or reportable segment, the transaction was recorded as a disposition of a component of an entity.
	As part of the purchase price for the AgChem EDI Business, Globalrange agreed to assume certain liabilities of ARI relating to the AgChem EDI Business, primarily consisting of unearned revenue (as defined in the Agreement).  Globalrange is making earn-out payments to ARI annually over a four-year period following the closing date, with an initial pre-payment of $80,000.  The amounts of such earn-out payments are determined based on collections received by Globalrange relating to the AgChem EDI Business during such period, and are subject to a floor and cap, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
	The contingent earn-out receivable is measured at fair value on a recurring basis calculated using the present value of future estimated revenue. Unrealized gains and losses for changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Because the contingent earn-out receivable has no comparable market data or significant observable inputs to determine fair value, it is classified as Level 3 measurement.  The primary factors used to determine the fair value include: (i) the estimated future revenue related to the business recognized by the buyer; and (ii) the estimated risk free interest rate of a market participant.  Increases in the estimated future revenue related to the business sold, which has the most impact on the fair value of the contingent earn-out receivable, would cause the fair value of the earn-out to increase.
	The amount of the earn-out receivable was originally estimated at $580,000 less an imputed discount of $97,000, based on the present value of the estimated earn-out payments (the “earn-out receivable”), discounted at 14%, which was the prevailing rate of interest charged on the Company’s debt at the time of the sale.  The discount is amortized to interest income, which is included in other income on the consolidated statements of income, over the life of the earn-out.
	An assessment of the expected future cash flows of the Earn-out Receivable is performed annually in the third fiscal quarter based on historical receipts over the previous twelve month period.  Changes in estimate and cash received in excess of expected cash receipts are recorded as a gain or loss in other expense (income).
	The remaining earn-out receivable totals $22,000 in prepaid expenses and other on the consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2015, with estimated receivables as follows (in thousands):
	Total estimated current payments receivable	$	24
	Less imputed interest		-2

Stock-Based Compensation Plans	6 Months Ended
	Jan. 31, 2015
Stock-Based Compensation Plans [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation Plans	7.     Stock-based Compensation Plans
	The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value stock options granted. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the United States Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant.
	Stock options granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plans typically vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant and 25% on the one year anniversary of each of the three following years.   Stock options granted to non-employee directors under the Company’s stock option plans typically vest 50% on the first anniversary of the grant and 50% on the next one year anniversary.  The Company recognizes stock option expense over the vesting period for each vesting tranche.
	As recognizing stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of recognized expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures based on the Company’s historical experience. Total stock option compensation expense recognized by the Company was approximately $40,000 and $12,000 during the three month periods ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately $69,000 and $48,000 during the six month periods ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. There was approximately $234,000 and $326,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans as of January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost will be adjusted for any future changes in estimated and actual forfeitures. There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs during the periods presented.
	The following table shows the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of options granted:
			Three months ended January 31							Six months ended January 31

	2000 Stock Option Plan
	The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) had 1,950,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance.  Each incentive stock option that was granted under the 2000 Plan is exercisable for a period of not more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of a participant who is a 10% shareholder of the Company, unless the stock options are nonqualified), or such shorter period as determined by the Compensation Committee, and shall lapse upon the expiration of said period, or earlier upon termination of the participant’s employment with the Company. The 2000 Plan expired on December 13, 2010, at which time it was terminated except for outstanding options.  While options previously granted under the 2000 Plan will continue to be effective through the remainder of their terms, no new options may be granted under the 2000 Plan.
	Changes in option shares under the 2000 Plan during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and fiscal 2014 were as follows:

2010 Equity Incentive Plan
The Board of Directors adopted the ARI Network Services, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2010 Plan”) on November 9, 2010.  The plan was approved by the Company's shareholders in December 2010, and amendments to the 2010 Plan were approved by the Company’s shareholders in January 2014.  The 2010 Plan is the successor to the Company’s 2000 Plan.  There are 1,850,000 shares of Company common stock authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan.  Potential awards under the 2010 Plan include incentive stock options (“ISOs’’) and non-statutory stock options (“NSOs”), shares of restricted stock or restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs), and shares of common stock.  Up to 1,525,000 of the shares authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan may be used for common stock, restricted stock or restricted stock unit awards.
The exercise price for options and stock appreciation rights under the 2010 Plan cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise prices for options and stock appreciation rights cannot be repriced without shareholder approval, except to reflect changes to the capital structure of the Company as described in the 2010 Plan.  The maximum term of options and stock appreciation rights under the 2010 Plan is 10 years.  The 2010 Plan does not have liberal share counting provisions (such as provisions that would permit shares withheld for payment of taxes or the exercise price of stock options to be re-granted under the plan).
Changes in option shares under the 2010 Plan during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

The Compensation Committee adopted the Long-Term Executive Bonus Plan (“LTEB”) for eligible executive officers of the Company effective beginning in fiscal 2013.  The amount of the award is determined after the close of the fiscal year based on subjective performance criteria.  Except as otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, awards will consist of (i) restricted stock based on a percentage of base salary and the number of shares granted will be based upon the closing price of the shares at the time the Committee determines the amount of the Award, which will be the same as the grant date of the restricted stock and (ii) cash to cover the minimum withholding taxes on the Award. The restricted stock will be granted under the ARI 2010 Equity Incentive Plan and will vest in four installments, beginning on the date of issuance and the next three anniversaries of the date of issuance.  Awards under the LTEB are expensed over the requisite service period plus the vesting period.  The Company expensed $43,000 and $70,000 during the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $86,000 and $100,000 during the six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the LTEB. A portion of this expense relates to the amortization of restricted shares issued and expensed over their vesting period and a portion relates to bonus expense accrued, but unissued, recognized over the requisite service period.
Restricted Stock
Up to 1,525,000 of the shares authorized for issuance under the 2010 Plan may be granted in the form of shares of common stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units.  The Company grants restricted stock to its directors as an annual retainer, its officers under the LTEB and from time to time to directors, officers or employees as incentive compensation or as discretionary compensation in place of cash.  The Company recognized compensation expense, exclusive of amounts related to LTEB expense disclosed above, of $42,000 and $40,000 during the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $86,000 and $76,000 during the six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively,  related to restricted stock expensed over the vesting period.
Changes in unvested restricted shares of common stock under the 2010 Plan during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:
		Three months ended January 31						Six months ended January 31
		2015				2014		2015		2014

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	8.     Income Taxes
	The unaudited provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 is composed of the following (in thousands):
			Three months ended January 31						Six months ended January 31
			2015		2014						2015				2014
		Current:
		Federal	$	-9	$		—				$	-11			$	—
		State		-19			—					-36				-6
		Change in valuation allowance		17			32					17				32
		Deferred, net		-263			194					-333				116
		Income tax benefit (expense)	$	-274	$		226				$	-363			$	142
	The provision for income taxes is based on taxes payable under currently enacted tax laws and an analysis of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities, including various accruals, allowances, depreciation and amortization, and does not represent current taxes due.  The tax effect of these temporary differences and the estimated benefit from tax net operating losses are reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.  We have unused net operating loss carry forwards ("NOLs") for federal income tax purposes, and as a result, we generally only incur alternative minimum taxes at the federal level.
	The Company also has NOLs related to tax losses incurred by its Netherlands operation.  Under tax laws in the Netherlands, NOLs are able to be carried forward for a period of nine years.  The Company has determined that, consistent with prior periods, it is not likely that the net operating losses will be utilized by the Company.  This conclusion was primarily based on the negative evidence of a history of losses and expired NOLs related to this entity.  In the opinion of the company, there is not enough positive evidence to overcome this negative evidence.  Therefore, a full valuation allowance is recorded, resulting in $0 net deferred tax assets related to the Netherlands operation at January 31, 2015 and 2014.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, management reclassified the net deferred tax assets to show the gross deferred tax assets related to the Netherlands NOLs of approximately $761,000 and the related full valuation allowance.
	As of January 31, 2015, the Company had accumulated NOLs for federal, state and international tax purposes of approximately $5,834,000, $3,207,000 and $2,985,000, respectively, which expire as follows (in thousands):
		Twelve months ended July 31,					Federal			State		International

		2030						946			-		-
							$	5,834		$	3,207	$	2,985
	* Years not shown have no amounts that expire.
	An assessment is performed periodically of the likelihood that the Company’s net deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income.  To the extent management believes it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established.  This assessment is based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, in evaluating the likelihood of realizability.  Issues considered in the assessment include future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, estimates of future taxable income (exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards) and prudent tax planning strategies available in future periods.  Because the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets is highly subject to the outcome of future events, the amount established as a valuation allowance is considered to be a significant estimate that is subject to change in the near term.  To the extent a valuation allowance is established or there is a change in the allowance during a period, the change is reflected with a corresponding increase or decrease in the tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations.
	A reconciliation between income tax expense and income taxes computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34%, the state rate of approximately 3% to U.S. based income (loss) before income taxes for the three and six months ended January 31 is as follows (in thousands):
			Three months ended January 31						Six months ended January 31
			2015		2014				2015				2014
		Computed federal and state income taxes at 37%	$	-235	$	218			$	-332			$	154
		Permanent items		-78		-9				-24				-32
		Change in estimated valuation allowance		—		32				—				32
		Other		39		-15				-7				-12
		Income tax (expense) benefit	$	-274	$	226			$	-363			$	142			-
	We perform an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense on an annual basis.  We determined that ARI did not have any significant risk related to income tax expense and therefore no amounts were reserved for uncertain tax positions as of January 31, 2015 and 2014.  We will accrue and recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense if it becomes necessary.  Fiscal years subsequent to 2010 remain open and subject to examination by state tax jurisdictions and the United States federal tax authorities.

	We were incorporated in Wisconsin in 1981.  Our principal executive office and headquarters is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The office address is 10850 West Park Place, Suite 1200, Milwaukee, WI 53224, and our telephone number at that location is (414) 973-4300. Our principal website address is www.arinet.com.  ARI also maintains operations in Duluth, Minnesota; Cypress, California; Floyds Knobs, Indiana; Cookeville, Tennessee; Salt Lake City, Utah and Leiden, The Netherlands.
Basis Of Presentation		Basis of Presentation
		These consolidated financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of ARI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ARI Europe B.V. and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).  We eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.  All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year
	Our fiscal year ends on July 31. References to fiscal 2015, for example, refer to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2015, and references to fiscal 2014 refer to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014.
Revenue Recognition		Revenue Recognition
		Revenues from subscription fees for use of our software, access to our catalog content, and software maintenance and support fees are all recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement. ARI considers all arrangements with payment terms extending beyond 12 months not to be fixed or determinable and evaluates other arrangements with payment terms longer than normal to determine whether the arrangement is fixed or determinable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. Arrangements that include acceptance terms beyond the standard terms are not recognized until acceptance has occurred. If collectability is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.
		For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.
		Revenues for professional services to customize complex features and functionality in a product’s base software code or develop complex interfaces within a customer’s environment are recognized as the services are performed if they are determined to have standalone value to the customer or if all of following conditions are met i) the customer has a contractual right to take possession of the software; ii) the customer will not incur significant penalty if it exercises this right; and iii) it is feasible for the customer to either run the software on its own hardware or contract with another unrelated party to host the software .  When the current estimates of total contract revenue for professional services and the total related costs indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made in the period the amount is determined.  Professional service revenues for set-up and integration of hosted websites, or other services considered essential to the functionality of other elements of the arrangement, are amortized over the term of the contract.
		Revenue for variable transaction fees, primarily for use of the shopping cart feature of our websites, is recognized as it is earned.
		Amounts received for shipping and handling fees are reflected in revenue.  Costs incurred for shipping and handling are reported in cost of revenue.
		Amounts invoiced to customers prior to recognition as revenue, as discussed above, are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as deferred revenue.
		No single customer accounted for 5% or more of ARI’s revenue during the three and six months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014.
Trade Receivables, Credit Policy And Allowance For Doubtful Accounts		Trade Receivables, Credit Policy and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
		Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due on normal trade terms, most of which require payment within thirty (30) days from the invoice date.  Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.
		The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.  Management individually reviews receivable balances that exceed ninety (90) days from the invoice date and, based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected.  The allowance for potential doubtful accounts is reflected as an offset to trade receivables in the accompanying balance sheets.
Capitalized And Purchased Software Product Costs		Capitalized and Purchased Software Product Costs
		Certain software development and acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Capitalization of these costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the on-going assessment of recoverability of software costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, the determination of technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies.
		The amortization of software products is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product which currently runs from two to nine years. Amortization starts when the product is available for general release to customers.  The Company capitalizes software enhancements on an on-going basis and all other software development and support expenditures are charged to expense in the period incurred.
Deferred Loan Fees and Debt Discounts	Deferred Loan Fees and Debt Discounts
	Fees associated with securing debt are capitalized and included in prepaid expense and other and other long term assets on the consolidated balance sheet.  Common stock issued in connection with securing debt is recorded to debt discount, reducing the carrying amount of the debt on the consolidated balance sheet.  Deferred loan fees and debt discounts are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
	Deferred Income Taxes
	The tax effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the estimated tax benefit from tax net operating losses is reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. An assessment of the likelihood that net deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income is performed at each reporting date or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a change in the valuation allowance. Because the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets is highly subject to the outcome of future events, the amount established as valuation allowance is considered to be a significant estimate that is subject to change in the near term. To the extent a valuation allowance is established or there is a change in the allowance during a period, the change is reflected with a corresponding increase or decrease in the tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations.
