Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business Qumu Corporation ("Qumu" or the "Company") provides the tools to create, manage, secure, distribute and measure the success of live and on-demand video for the enterprise. The Qumu platform enables global organizations to drive employee engagement, increase access to video, and modernize the workplace by providing a more efficient and effective way to share knowledge. The world’s largest organizations leverage the Qumu platform for a variety of cloud-based, on premise and hybrid use cases including self-service webcasting, sales enablement, internal communications, product training, regulatory compliance and customer engagement. The Company markets its products to customers primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. The Company views its operations and manages its business as one segment and one reporting unit. Factors used to identify the Company's single operating segment and reporting unit include the financial information available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions about how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company manages the marketing of its products and services through regional sales representatives and independent distributors in the United States and international markets. The Company previously conducted its operations through two businesses consisting of 1) its enterprise video content management software business and 2) its disc publishing business. On June 27, 2014, the Company's shareholders approved the sale of the disc publishing assets and on July 1, 2014, the sale was completed. As a result, effective June 27, 2014, the disc publishing business was classified as held for sale and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations effective with the reporting of the Company's financial results for the second quarter of 2014. Accordingly, effective June 27, 2014, the Company had one remaining reportable segment, the enterprise video content management software business. The operational results of the disc publishing business are presented in the “Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” line item on the consolidated statements of operations. All remaining amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes reflect the financial results and financial position of the Company's continuing enterprise video content management software business, other than consolidated amounts reflecting operating results and balances for both the continuing and discontinued operations. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Liquidity The Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities and, during the fourth quarter of 2017, it was difficult for management to reliably project future compliance with certain covenants in its credit agreement with Hale Capital Partners, LP under certain financial scenarios. If the Company is not able to maintain compliance with its covenants that results in an Event of Default, a lender may accelerate the repayment of outstanding principal, which could negatively impact the Company’s ability to fund its working capital requirements, capital expenditures and general corporate expenses. Subsequent to year end, the Company replaced its credit agreement, as described in Note 4–"Commitments and Contingencies," and is projecting future compliance with its covenants with an operating plan that, when combined with its expense reduction program, further aligns spending with revenue. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, for which the current carrying amounts approximate fair market values based on quoted market prices or net asset value; the warrant liability, for which the fair value is based on the Company's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the liability; and the term loan, for which the fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate and the contractual terms of the loan. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue through the sale of enterprise video content management software solutions, hardware, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. Software sales may take the form of a perpetual software license, a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS) or a term software license. Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses and hardware. Service revenue includes term software licenses, SaaS, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. The Company commences revenue recognition when all of the following conditions are met: there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; the product has been delivered or the services have been provided to the customer; the collection of the fees is reasonably assured; and the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. More specifically: • Revenue from perpetual software licenses and hardware are generally recognized when the product has been delivered. • Revenue from subscription, maintenance and support, which includes term software licenses, cloud-hosted software as a service and maintenance and support, are generally recognized ratably over the contract term beginning on the commencement date of each contract, which is the date the Company’s product has been delivered or service is made available to customers. • Revenue from professional and other services, which are not essential to the functionality of the software, are generally recognized as the services are provided to customers. The Company allocates revenue to the software-related and non-software elements under one arrangement based on the relative selling price. In such circumstances, the selling price for a deliverable is based on the following hierarchy: i) vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, ii) third-party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available, or iii) estimated selling price (“ESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company determines VSOE of the selling price for software-related elements, including professional services and software maintenance and support contracts, based on the price charged for the deliverable when sold separately. After the arrangement consideration has been allocated to the software-related and non-software related elements, the Company accounts for each respective element as follows: • Revenue for each of the non-software elements is allocated based on the selling price hierarchy and recognized as noted above provided all other criteria required for revenue recognition have been met. • Revenue for each of the software-related elements is allocated based on the VSOE of each element and recognized as noted above provided all other criteria required for revenue recognition have been met. In software-related arrangements for which the Company does not have the VSOE of the fair value for all elements, revenue is deferred until the earlier of when the VSOE is determined for the undelivered elements (residual method) or when all elements for which the Company does not have the VSOE of the fair value have been delivered, unless the only undelivered element is maintenance and support, in which case the entire amount of revenue is recognized over the maintenance and support period. Other items relating to charges collected from customers: • Shipping and handling charges collected from customers as part of the Company's sales transactions are included in revenues and the associated costs are included in cost of revenues. • Sales taxes charged to and collected from customers as part of the Company’s sales transactions are excluded from revenues and recorded as a liability to the applicable governmental taxing authority. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as the revenue recognition criteria are met. The deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of annual or multi-year, non-cancelable subscription agreements. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period is recorded as current deferred revenue, and the remaining portion is recorded as non-current deferred revenue. Deferred Commissions Sales commissions represent the direct incremental costs related to the acquisition of customer contracts. The Company recognizes commissions as sales and marketing expense at the time the associated product revenue is recognized, requiring establishment of a deferred cost in the event a commission is paid prior to recognition of revenue. The deferred commission amounts are recoverable through the related future revenue streams under non-cancelable customer contracts and also commission clawback provisions in the Company's sales compensation plans. Deferred commission costs included in prepaid expenses and other assets were $309,000 and $411,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Deferred commission costs in other assets, non-current were $46,000 and $148,000 at December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value. As of December 31, 2017, cash and cash equivalents include certain funds required to be segregated for debt repayment, as described in Note 4–“Commitments and Contingencies.” Such funds were under the Company’s control as of December 31, 2017 and were subsequently released from such requirement upon the Company’s refinancing of its term loan on January 12, 2018. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are initially recorded at a selling price, which approximates fair value upon the sale of goods or services to customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect accounts receivable at net realizable value. In judging the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers multiple factors, including historical bad debt experience, the general economic environment, the need for specific client reserves and the aging of the Company’s receivables. A portion of this provision is included in operating expenses as a general and administrative expense and a portion of this provision is included as a reduction of license revenue. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing these factors. If the factors utilized in determining the allowance do not reflect future performance, then a change in the allowance for doubtful accounts would be necessary in the period such determination has been made, which would impact future results of operations. Changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts consisted of the following (in thousands): Year Ended December 31, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: 2017 2016 2015 Balance at beginning of year $ 34 $ 24 $ 55 Write-offs (11 ) (11 ) — Change in provision (2 ) 21 (31 ) Balance at end of year $ 21 $ 34 $ 24 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company records provisions for potential excess, obsolete and slow-moving inventory. Results could be different if demand for the Company’s products decreased because of economic or competitive conditions, or if products became obsolete because of technical advancements in the industry or by the Company. Inventory included in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $227,000 and $204,000 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from one to seven years for most assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the property’s useful life or the term of the underlying lease. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred. The asset cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are adjusted for asset retirement or disposal, with the resulting gain or loss, if any, credited or charged to results of operations. Long-lived Assets The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that carrying amounts of its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through their undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Goodwill The Company records goodwill when consideration paid in a purchase acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net tangible assets and the identified intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant a review. The Company has determined that there is a single reporting unit for the purpose of goodwill impairment tests. For purposes of assessing the impairment of goodwill, the Company annually, at its fiscal year end, estimates the fair value of the reporting unit and compares this amount to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the Company determines that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. As of December 31, 2017 , the Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill. Based upon that evaluation, the Company determined that its goodwill was not impaired. See Note 3–"Intangible Assets and Goodwill." Investment in Nonconsolidated Company As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 , the Company held an investment totaling $3.1 million in convertible preferred stock of BriefCam, Ltd. ("BriefCam") a privately-held Israeli company that develops video synopsis technology to augment security and surveillance systems to facilitate review of surveillance video. The investment is included in other non-current assets. Qumu's ownership interest is less than 20% . Qumu accounts for this equity investment using the cost method. Equity securities accounted for under the cost method are reviewed quarterly for changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events that suggest the Company’s investment may not be fully recoverable. If an unrealized loss for the investment is considered to be other-than-temporary, the loss will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the determination is made. Qumu monitors BriefCam's results of operations, business plan and capital raising activities and is not aware of any events or circumstances that would indicate a decline in the fair value below the carrying value of its investment. Derivative Liability In conjunction with debt financing completed in October 2016, the Company issued a warrant for the purchase of up to 314,286 shares of the Company's common stock, the entire portion of which remained unexercised and outstanding at December 31, 2017 . The Company accounts for the warrant, a derivative financial instrument issued in conjunction with the Company's 2016 debt financing, as a current liability based upon the characteristics and provisions of the instrument. The warrant was determined to be ineligible for equity classification because of provisions that allow the holder under certain circumstances, essentially the sale of the Company as defined in the warrant agreement, to elect to receive a minimum cash payment in lieu of the Company's common shares. The warrant liability was recorded in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at its fair value on the date of issuance and is revalued on each subsequent balance sheet date until such instrument is exercised or expires, with any changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded as other income or expense. The Company estimates the fair value of this liability using an option pricing model that is based on the individual characteristics of the warrant on the valuation date, which includes assumptions for expected volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate, as well as the present value of the minimum cash payment component of the instrument. Changes in the assumptions used could have a material impact on the resulting fair value. The primary inputs affecting the value of the warrant liability are the Company’s stock price and volatility in the Company's stock price. Increases in the fair value of the underlying stock or increases in the volatility of the stock price generally result in a corresponding increase in the fair value of the warrant liability; conversely, decreases in the fair value of the underlying stock or decreases in the volatility of the stock price generally result in a corresponding decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award at the date of grant. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Compensation cost is recognized for all awards over the vesting period to the extent the requisite service requirements are met, whether or not the award is ultimately exercised. Conversely, when the requisite service requirements are not met and the award is forfeited prior to vesting, any compensation expense previously recognized for the award is reversed. Research and Development Costs Costs related to research, design and development of products are charged to research and development expense as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized beginning when a product’s technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. The Company uses the working model approach to determine technological feasibility. The Company’s products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. As a result, the Company has not capitalized any software development costs because such costs have not been significant. Royalties for Third-Party Technology Royalties for third-party technology are either paid in advance and capitalized as prepaid royalties or are accrued as incurred and subsequently paid. These royalties are generally expensed to cost of revenue at the greater of a rate based on the contractual or estimated term or an effective royalty rate based on the total projected net revenue for contracts with guaranteed minimums. Each quarter, the Company also evaluates the expected future realization of its prepaid royalties, as well as any minimum commitments not yet paid to determine amounts it deems unlikely to be realized through product sales. Any impairments or losses determined before the launch of a product are generally charged to general and administrative expense, and any impairments or losses determined post-launch are charged to cost of revenue. Unrecognized minimum royalty-based commitments are accounted for as executory contracts and, therefore, any losses on these commitments are recognized when the underlying intellectual property is abandoned (i.e., cease use) or the contractual rights to use the intellectual property are terminated. During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a loss relating to a third-party license agreement of $1.2 million to general and administration expense which included the write-off of a $606,000 prepaid royalty and the accrual of the remaining $606,000 minimum royalty payments. Income Taxes The Company provides for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some component or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period such changes are enacted. Foreign Currency Translation The functional currency for each of the Company’s international subsidiaries is the respective local currency. The Company translates its financial statements of consolidated entities whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar into U.S. dollars. The Company translates its assets and liabilities at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date and translates statement of operations accounts using the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate differences resulting from translation adjustments are accounted for as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses, whether realized or unrealized, due to transactions in foreign currencies are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations under the line item other income (expense). The net gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions for the year ended December 31, 2017 , 2016 and 2015 were $(356,000) , $162,000 and $(131,000) , respectively, and are included in other income (expenses) in the consolidated statements of operations. Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by adjusting both the numerator (net loss) and the denominator (weighted-average number of shares outstanding), giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares from the warrant, options and restricted stock units. The treasury stock method is used for computing potentially dilutive common shares. Under this method, consideration that would be received upon exercise (as well as remaining compensation cost to be recognized for awards not yet vested) is assumed to be used to repurchase shares of stock in the market, with the net number of shares assumed to be issued added to the denominator. In addition, the numerator is adjusted to exclude the changes in the fair value of the warrants that are classified as a liability, but may be settled in shares. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported diluted net loss as the impact of excluding the warrant income and related potentially dilutive shares was dilutive. Basic and diluted net loss per common share was the same for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2015 as the impact of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was anti-dilutive. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income and items defined as other comprehensive income, such as unrealized gains and losses on certain marketable securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. Such items are reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). New Accounting Pronouncements In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . The purpose of the amendment is to simplify how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not believe the impact of adopting this standard will be material to its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will supersede the existing lease guidance and will require all leases with a term greater than 12 months to be recognized in the statements of financial position and eliminate current real estate-specific lease guidance, while maintaining substantially similar classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements of adopting this standard, which will require right-of-use assets and lease liabilities be recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for operating leases. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall , which requires entities to measure equity instruments at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income (loss). Entities may estimate the fair value of certain equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair value or may choose a practical expedient. If the practical expedient is elected, these investments would be recorded at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. The guidance also updates certain presentation and disclosure requirements. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard, which could be material to its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The FASB has issued numerous amendments to ASU 2014-09 from August 2015 through January 2018, which provide supplemental and clarifying guidance, as well as amend the effective date of the new standard. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The new revenue standard may be applied using either of the following transition methods: a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standard recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective (cumulative effect) method. Such method provides that the cumulative effect from prior periods upon applying the new guidance is recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of the date of adoption, including an adjustment to retained earnings. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of this new standard, it currently believes the most significant impacts relate to the accounting for the timing of revenue recognition of subscription, or term-based, software license arrangements. Specifically, under the new standard: • Software revenue associated with non-cancellable subscription or, term-based, software license arrangements will generally be recognized upon delivery of the license. Historically, these arrangements have been material, and the Company currently recognizes this revenue ratably over the term of the software license; and • The Company expects that the accounting for software revenue derived from perpetual based licensing arrangements and associated services revenues will not be materially impacted. At the date of adoption of this new guidance, the Company expects to record a cumulative adjustment to the Company's consolidated balance sheet, including an adjustment to retained earnings, to adjust for the aggregate impact of these revenue items, as calculated under the new guidance. The Company currently estimates the amount of such adjustment to retained earnings to be approximately $1.1 million , or 4% of its annual 2017 revenues. Such estimate is preliminary and subject to change as the Company finalizes its implementation process. The adoption of the standard required the implementation of enhanced accounting systems and processes, including an advanced revenue module to the Company's ERP system to assist in maintaining multi-books (i.e., ASC 606 and ASC 605) to aid in monitoring and reporting on the cumulative impact of the adoption on a going forward basis. This implementation will impact the Company's internal controls over revenue recognition and financial reporting. The Company has implemented revised controls in anticipation adopting the new standard January 1, 2018. The Company's analysis and evaluation of the new standard will continue through the filing of its first quarter 2018 consolidated financial statements. |
