| Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| Fiscal Period | QuickLogic’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. Fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017 ended on December 29, 2019, December 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. |
| Liquidity | Liquidity The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through sale of common stock, capital and operating leases, a revolving line of credit and cash flows from operations. As of December 29, 2019, the Company’s principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $21.5 million including $15.0 million drawn down from its line of credit, or Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank of Commerce, or Heritage Bank. The Company’s prior line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which matured on September 24, 2018 was fully paid off in July 2018. On September 28, 2018, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or the Loan Agreement with Heritage Bank. The Loan Agreement provided for, among other things, a revolving line of credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with aggregate commitments of $9,000,000 On December 21, 2018, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Heritage Bank to replace in its entirety the Loan Agreement. The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement increases the Revolving Facility from $9,000,000 to $15,000,000. On November 6, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank to extend the maturity date for one year through September 28, 2021. Under this amendment the Revolving Facility advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) one half of one percentage point (0.50%) above the Prime Rate, or (ii) five and one half of one percentage points (5.50%). The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants as of the end of the current reporting period. As of December 29, 2019, the Company had $15.0 million of outstanding revolving line of credit with an interest rate of 5.50%. On June 21, 2019, the Company closed its underwritten public offering of 1.3 million shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share at a price of $7.00 per share, which included 171,429 shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $8.0 million, after deducting underwriting commissions and other offering-related expenses. See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the details. In May 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 965,251 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 386,100 shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering. The common stock and warrants were issued in units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase 0.40 of a share of common stock, at a combined price of $16.10 per Unit. The Company received total net proceeds from the offering of $13.9 million, net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses of $1.6 million. The common stock warrants are exercisable any time for a period of 60 months from the date of issuance on May 29, 2018, and are exercisable at a price of $19.32 per share. The estimated grant date fair value of the common stock warrants was $7.98 per warrant and was calculated based on the following assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model: expected term of 5 years, risk-free interest rate of 2.58%, expected volatility of 52.75% and expected dividend of zero. The Company currently uses its cash to fund its working capital, to accelerate the development of next generation products and for general corporate purposes. Based on past performance and current expectations, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months. The Company’s Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank will expire in September 2021 and the Company would need to renew this Revolving Facility or find an alternative lender prior to the expiration date. Further, any violations of debt covenants will restrict the Company’s access to any additional cash draws from the Revolving Facility, and may require immediate repayment of the outstanding debt amounts. Management believes that it is probable that the Company will be able to either renew the Revolving Facility or obtain alternative financing on the acceptable terms. Various factors affect the Company’s liquidity, including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products including solutions based on its ArcticLink ® ® Over the longer term, the Company anticipates that sales generated from its new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank, assuming renewal of the Revolving Facility or the Company entering into a new debt agreement with an alternative lender prior to the expiration of the revolving line of credit in September 2021, and its ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability of the Company to generate sufficient sales from its new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition, including its ability to maintain compliance with its lender’s financial covenants. |
| Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in the United States of America or US GAAP, and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and include the accounts of QuickLogic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. |
| Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency The functional currency of the Company’s non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the statements of operations. Foreign Currency Transactions All of the Company’s sales and cost of manufacturing are transacted in U.S. dollars. The Company conducts a portion of its research and development activities in India and has sales and marketing activities in various countries outside of the United States. Most of these international expenses are incurred in local currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which are not significant, are included in interest income and other expense, net, as they occur. Operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 19%, 27% and 25% of total operating expenses in 2019, 2018 and 2017 respectively. The Company incurred a majority of these foreign currency expenses in India, the United Kingdom, China, Taiwan and Korea in 2019, 2018 and 2017. The Company has not used derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency and, therefore, is susceptible to fluctuations in foreign exchange gains or losses in its results of operations in future reporting periods. |
| Uses of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly in relation to revenue recognition; the allowance for doubtful accounts; sales returns; valuation of long-lived assets including mask sets; valuation of goodwill; capitalized internal-use software and related amortizable lives and intangibles related to the acquisition of SensiML, including the estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets, valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence; measurement of stock-based compensation awards; accounting for income taxes and estimating accrued liabilities. Contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Judgment is required to determine the Stand-alone Selling Price, or SSP, for each distinct performance obligation. The Company uses a range of amounts to estimate SSP when each of the products and services are sold separately and determines the discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services when products and services sold are bundled. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, it determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers. In these instances, the Company may use information such as the size of the customer, customer tier, type of the technology used, customer demographics, geographic region and other factors in determining the SSP. |
| Concentrations of Credit and Suppliers | Concentration of Risk The Company’s accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. See Note 14 for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable and revenue. Concentrations of Credit and Suppliers Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with high quality institutions. The Company’s accounts receivables are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. See Note 14 for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable. The Company depends on a limited number of contract manufacturers, subcontractors, and suppliers for wafer fabrication, assembly, programming and test of its devices, and for the supply of programming equipment, and these services are typically provided by one supplier for each of the Company’s devices. The Company generally purchases these single or limited source services through standard purchase orders. Because the Company relies on independent subcontractors to perform these services, it cannot directly control its product delivery schedules, costs or quality levels. The Company’s future success also depends on the financial viability of its independent subcontractors. |
| Reverse Stock Split | Reverse Stock Split On December 6, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 1-for-14 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which became effective on December 23, 2019. The reverse stock split was previously approved by the Company’s shareholders in a special meeting held on November 26, 2019. At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 14 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to fractional shares of common stock as a result of the reverse stock split received a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares. All share, equity awards, and per share amounts contained in this Form 10-K and the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all prior periods presented. Warrants issued in connection with the May 2018 stock issuance were also adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented. |
| Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with an original or a remaining maturity at purchase of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s investment portfolio included in cash equivalents is generally comprised of investments that meet high credit quality standards. The Company’s investment portfolio consists of money market accounts and funds. Restricted cash represents amounts pledged as cash security related to the use of credit cards. |
| Fair Value | Fair Value The guidance for the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities provides companies the irrevocable option to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings or equity. The Company has not elected to measure any financial assets or liabilities at fair value that were not previously required to be measured at fair value. |
| Inventories | Inventories In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB Accounting Standards Update, or ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory The Company’s semiconductor products have historically had an unusually long product life cycle and obsolescence has not been a significant factor in the valuation of inventories. However, as the Company pursues opportunities in the mobile market and continues to develop new solutions and products, the Company believes its product life cycle will be shorter which could increase the potential for obsolescence. A significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in excess inventory on hand. Although the Company makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or frequent new product developments could have a significant impact on the value of its inventory and its results of operations. |
| Property and Equipment and Long-Lived Assets | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally one to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally one to seven years. Capitalized Internal-Use Software The Company capitalizes costs related to development of hosted services that the Company provides to its customers and internal use of enterprise-level business and finance software in support of the Company’s operational needs. Costs incurred in the application development phase are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, which are generally three to five years. Costs related to planning and other preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred. The Company tests these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact their recoverability. Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, annually and when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value, and the carrying value of the related assets is reduced by this difference. The measurement of impairment requires management to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets. During 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company wrote-off equipment with a net book value of $4,000, $5,000 and $12,000, respectively. |
| Licensed Intellectual Property | Licensed Intellectual Property The Company licenses intellectual property that is incorporated into its products. Costs incurred under license agreements prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are included in research and development expense as incurred. Costs incurred for intellectual property once technological feasibility has been established and that can be used in multiple products are capitalized as a long-term asset. Once a product incorporating licensed intellectual property has production sales, the amount is amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally up to five years. |
| Revenue Recognition after adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 606 | Revenue Recognition after adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 606 The Company adopted ASC Topic No. 606 and related ASUs, which provide supplementary guidance, and clarifications, effective January 1, 2018. The Company adopted using the modified retrospective approach. As a result, the Company is required to disclose the accounting policies in effect prior to January 1, 2018, as well as the policies it has applied starting January 1, 2018. The results for the reporting period beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with the new standard, although comparative information for the prior year has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards and policies in effect for those periods. Adoption of the new standard did not have a significant impact on the current period revenues or on the prior year Consolidated Financial Statements. No transition adjustment was required to be recorded as of January 1, 2018. Under the new standard revenue is recognized as follows: Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
•
Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;
•
Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
•
Determination of the transaction price;
•
Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
•
Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. As part of its assessment of each contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay, or credit risk. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the price stated on the purchase order is typically fixed and represents the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, and therefore there is no variable consideration. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected, as a practical expedient, to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative standalone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the standalone selling price as it is an observable source that depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances. Product Revenue The Company generates most of its revenue by supplying standard hardware products, which must be programmed before they can be used in an application. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally for product only, and do not include other performance obligations such as services, extended warranties or other material rights. The Company recognizes hardware product revenue at the point of time when control of products is transferred to the customers, when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, which typically occurs upon shipment from the Company’s manufacturing site or its headquarters. Intellectual Property and Software License Revenue The Company also generates revenue from licensing their intellectual property or IP, software tools and royalty from licensing its technology. The Company recognizes IP and Software License revenue at the point of time when the control of IP or software license has been transferred. Some of the IP and Software Licensing contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. We determine the standalone selling prices based on our overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of our contracts, type of the customer, customer tier, type of the technology used, customer demographics, geographic locations, and other factors. Software as a Service Revenue, or SaaS Revenue Software products that are offered to customers with a right to use the hosted software over the contract period without taking the possession of it are billed on a subscription basis. Revenue that are billed on a subscription basis is recognized ratably over the contract period. Maintenance Revenue The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance contract term. Renewals of maintenance contracts create new performance obligations that are satisfied over the term with the revenues recognized ratably over the term. Royalty Revenue The Company recognizes royalty revenue when the later of the following events occurs: (a) The subsequent sale or usage occurs. (b) The performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied. Deferred Revenue Receivables are recognized in the period the Company ships the product. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are based on contractual terms with each customer. When the Company receives consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, the Company records deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. The Company recognizes deferred revenue as net sales once control of goods and/or services have been transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met and any constraints have been resolved. The Company defers the product costs until recognition of the related revenue occurs. Assets Recognized from Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has concluded that none of the costs it has incurred to obtain and fulfill its ASC 606 contracts meet the capitalization criteria, and as such, there are no costs deferred and recognized as assets on the consolidated balance sheet at December 29, 2019. Practical expedients and exemptions (i) Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities and that are related to the sales of the Company’s products are excluded from revenues. (ii) Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. (iii) The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with original expected lengths of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for the services performed. The Company records allowance for sales returns. Amounts recorded for sales returns for the year ended December 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018 were $60,000 and $156,000 respectively. Revenue Recognition Prior to the Adoption of ASC Topic No. 606 on January 1, 2018 The Company supplies standard products which must be programmed before they can be used in an application. The Company’s products may be programmed by us, distributors, end-customers or third parties. The Company recognizes revenue as products are shipped if evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured and product returns are reasonably estimable. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of programmed and unprogrammed parts to both OEM customers and distributors, provided that legal title and risk of ownership have transferred. Parts held by distributors may be returned for quality reasons only under its standard warranty policy. The Company records allowance for sales returns. Amounts recorded for sales returns were not material for the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company accounts for its Intellectual Property or IP license revenues and related services in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board or FASB Accounting Standards Codification or ASC No. 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition Cost of Revenue The Company records all costs associated with its product sales in cost of revenue. These costs include the cost of materials, contract manufacturing fees, shipping costs and quality assurance. Cost of revenue also includes indirect costs such as warranty, excess and obsolete inventory charges, general overhead costs and depreciation. |
| Accounts Receivable Allowance | Accounts Receivable Allowance The Company estimates the amount of uncollectible accounts receivable at the end of each reporting period based on the aging of the receivable balance, current and historical customer trends, and communications with its customers. Amounts are written off only after considerable collection efforts have been made and the amounts are determined to be uncollectible. |
| Warranty Costs | Warranty Costs The Company warrants finished goods against defects in material and workmanship under normal use for twelve months from the date of shipment. The Company’s liability is limited to the cost of repair or replacement of the defective part. The Company does not consider activities related to such warranties to be a separate performance obligation under ASC 606. The terms and conditions of sale generally do not allow for refunds or product returns other than for warranty repairs. The Company does not have significant product warranty related costs or liabilities. |
| Leases | Leases The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . Under Topic 842, all significant lease arrangements are generally recognized at lease commencement. Operating lease right-of-use, or ROU, assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. A ROU asset and corresponding lease liability is not recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short term leases) and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases as incurred over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the reasonably certain lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company primarily uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments related to initial direct cost and prepayments and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. In accordance with ASU No. 2016-02, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of approximately $975,000 and lease liabilities of approximately $939,000 on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019, with no material impact to its Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 29, 2019, the Company’s right-of-use assets was approximately $2.4 million and lease liability was approximately $2.3 million as presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details. |
| Business Combinations | Business Combinations The Company recognizes assets acquired (including goodwill and identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed at fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of such assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized in earnings, after the expiration of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Acquisition-related expenses and acquisition-related restructuring costs are recognized in earnings in the period in which they are incurred. |
| Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. The carrying value of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized but are annually tested for impairment and more often if there is an indicator of impairment. In the first quarter of 2019, the Company recognized Goodwill of $282,000 due to tax benefits that arised from intangible assets acquired in the SensiML acquisition. Goodwill was trued-up to $185,000 during the measurement period, which is 12 months from the date of acquisition and therefore the change was accounted for as acquisition accounting. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods benefited. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company's ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets. No impairment has been recognized to-date. |
| Restricted cash | Restricted cash Restricted cash represents amounts pledged as cash security related to the Company’s credit cards. |
| Advertising | Advertising Costs related to advertising and promotion expenditures are charged to “Selling, general and administrative” expense in the consolidated statements of operations as incurred. Costs related to advertising and promotion expenditures were $146,000 in 2019, $93,000 in 2018, and $95,000 in 2017. |
| Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of the amended authoritative guidance, and related interpretations which require the measurement and recognition of expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards. The fair value of stock-based compensation awards is measured at the grant date and re-measured upon modification, as appropriate. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under the Company’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, consistent with the provisions of the amended authoritative guidance. The fair value of restricted stock awards, or RSAs, and restricted stock units, or RSUs, is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Equity compensation awards which vest with service are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Service based performance awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. If performance conditions are other than service, an accelerated method of amortization is used, which treats each vesting tranche as a separate award over the expected life of the unit. The Company regularly reviews the assumptions used to compute the fair value of its stock-based awards and it will revise its assumptions as appropriate. In the event that assumptions used to compute the fair value of its stock-based awards are later determined to be inaccurate or if the Company changes its assumptions significantly in future periods, stock-based compensation expense and the results of operations could be materially impacted. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. |
| Accounting for Income Taxes | Accounting for Income Taxes The Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. This process involves estimating the Company’s actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different tax and accounting treatment of items, such as deferred revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, the impact of equity awards, depreciation and amortization and employee related accruals. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included on the Company’s balance sheets. The Company must then assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely, it must establish a valuation allowance. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets. The Company’s deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards, amounted to $58 million tax effected as of the end of 2019. The Company has also recorded a valuation allowance of $58 million, tax effected, as of the end of 2019 due to uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to utilize its U.S. deferred tax assets before they expire. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, ability to project future taxable income, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax assets valuation allowance, which would reduce its provision for income taxes. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes using a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. The Company classifies the liability for unrecognized tax benefits as current to the extent that it anticipates payment (or receipt) of cash within one year. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in the provision for income taxes. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. |
| Comprehensive Income (Loss) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes all temporary changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. The Company’s comprehensive loss equaled to net loss for all periods presented. |
| Recently Adopted New Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted New Accounting Pronouncements: In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment G The guidance will be applied prospectively, and is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. st In February 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income. In March 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 , Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting . Currently, share-based payments to nonemployees are accounted for under Subtopic 505-50, which significantly differs from the guidance for share-based payments to employees under Topic 718. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50 by expanding the scope of Topic 718 to include nonemployee awards and generally aligning the accounting for nonemployee awards with the accounting for employee awards.

| Net Loss Per Share | Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net loss per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants. |
