Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business. Cogentix Medical, Inc., headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, with additional operations in New York, Massachusetts, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, is a global medical device company. We design, develop, manufacture and market innovative proprietary technologies serving the urology, urogynecology/gyn, ENT (ear, nose and throat) and gastrointestinal markets. The Urgent® PC Neuromodulation System delivers percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) which has FDA clearance for the office-based treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) and has regulatory approvals for the treatment of OAB and fecal incontinence (FI) in various international markets. The FDA-cleared and CE marked PrimeSight Endoscopy Systems and EndoSheath Protective Barrier combine state-of-the-art endoscopic technology with a sterile, disposable microbial barrier, providing practitioners and healthcare facilities with a solution to meet the growing need for safe, efficient and cost-effective flexible endoscopy. The Company also offers Macroplastique®, a urethral bulking agent for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Outside the U.S., the Company markets additional bulking agents: PTQ ® ® The Company is the result of the Merger effective as of March 31, 2015, of two medical device companies, Uroplasty, Inc. (“UPI”) and Vision-Sciences, Inc. (“VSCI”). On the effective date of the Merger, the two companies completed an all-stock merger, pursuant to which UPI merged with and into Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of VSCI. Merger Sub was the surviving company from the Merger, and changed its name to Uroplasty, LLC. VSCI continued to be the sole member of the surviving company. After the merger, VSCI and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the surviving company, operate under the name Cogentix Medical, Inc. Upon closing of the Merger, the former UPI stockholders owned approximately 62.5% and the VSCI shareholders retained approximately 37.5% of the Company. Accordingly, while VSCI was the legal acquirer and issued its shares in the Merger, UPI is the acquiring company in the Merger for accounting purposes and the Merger has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. As a result, the financial statements of the Company prior to the effective date of the Merger are the historical financial statements of UPI, whereas the financial statements of the Company after the effective date of the Merger reflect the results of the operations of UPI and VSCI on a combined basis. See additional disclosure provided in Note 2. All share amounts and price per share amounts for all periods presented relate to VSCI shares with UPI shares and price per share converted to VSCI amounts based on the conversion ratio in the acquisition agreement and the one for five reverse stock split. Change in Fiscal Year. On December 10, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that, in accordance with its bylaws and upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Company’s fiscal year shall begin on January 1 and end on December 31 of each year starting on January 1, 2016. The required transition period of April 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 is included in this Form 10-K Transition Report. Amounts included in this report for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 are unaudited. Liquidity and Capital Resources. We have incurred substantial operating losses since our inception. During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company generated its first ever cash operating profit. This performance is the result of increased sales and reduced expenses. Management will continue to press for improvements in operating performance during calendar 2016 although there can be no assurance these efforts will continue to generate cash operating profits. As of December 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $2.0 million. On September 18, 2015, we entered into a $7.0 million line of credit with Venture Bank to provide non-dilutive resources to execute management’s growth strategies for the PrimeSight and Urgent PC product lines and for general corporate purposes. Note 6 contains further information regarding the line of credit. If operations do not generate sufficient cash in the future, and if we were to seek additional financing, there can be no assurance that any such additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If required, we believe we would be able to reduce our expenses to a sufficient level to continue to operate as a going concern. Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cogentix Medical, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all intercompany accounts and transactions in consolidation. We have reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to the current year’s presentation. Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 (Topic 605, Revenue Recognition . 1. persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; 2. delivery has occurred or services were rendered; 3. the fee is fixed and determinable; and 4. collectability is reasonably assured We recognize revenue when title passes to the customer, generally upon shipment of our products F.O.B. shipping point. Revenue for service repairs of equipment is recognized after service has been completed, and service contract revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. We review our service contracts to determine if multiple element arrangements exist. If there are multiple elements, we allocate revenue to all elements based on the stand-alone selling prices by applying the relative stand-alone selling price methodology. Deferred revenue represents the selling price of any deliverables of the arrangement for which the customer has provided consideration, but the revenue recognition requirements have not been satisfied. We include shipping and handling charges billed to customers in net sales, and include related costs incurred by us in cost of goods sold. Typically our agreements contain no customer acceptance provisions or clauses. We sell our products to end users and to distributors. Payment terms range from prepayment to 120 days. Sales to distributors are not contingent on the distributor selling the product to end users. Customers do not have the right to return products except for warranty claims. We offer customary product warranties. We present our sales in our statement of operations net of taxes, such as sales, use, value-added and certain excise taxes, collected from the customers and remitted to governmental authorities. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires us 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 these estimates. Our significant accounting policies and estimates include revenue recognition, accounts receivable, valuation of inventory, foreign currency translation/transactions, purchase price allocations on acquisition, the determination of recoverability of long-lived assets and liabilities and intangible assets, long-term incentive plans, share-based compensation, defined benefit pension plans, and income taxes. Advertising Expenses. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs incurred were approximately $383,000 in the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2015, $325,000 in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014 and $437,000 and $595,000 in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Research and Development Expenses. Costs of research, new product development, and product redesign are charged to expense as incurred. Share-Based Compensation. We account for share-based compensation costs under ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. We recognize the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions, including grants of employee stock options and restricted shares, in our financial statements. We measure that cost based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Long-Term Incentive Plan and Awards. We have a long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). Awards under the LTIP are accounted for as liability awards as the awards are based on the performance of our common stock and are expected to be settled in cash. The fair value of the awards is calculated on a quarterly basis using a Monte Carlo valuation model and is recognized over the derived service period. Vesting of the awards is based on meeting the stock price criteria, the probability of which is considered in determining the estimated fair value. Defined Benefit Pension Plans. We have a liability attributed to defined benefit pension plans we offered to certain former and current employees of our subsidiaries in the UK and the Netherlands. The liability is dependent upon numerous factors, assumptions and estimates, and the continued benefit costs we incur may be significantly affected by changes in key actuarial assumptions such as the discount rate, mortality, compensation rates, or retirement dates used to determine the projected benefit obligation. Additionally, changes made to the provisions of the plans may impact current and future benefit costs. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits”, changes in benefit obligations associated with these factors may not be immediately recognized as costs in the statement of operations, but are recognized in future years over the expected average future service of the active employees or the average remaining life expectancies of inactive employees. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Estimates of fair value for financial assets and liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The framework prioritizes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following three broad levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value under the fair value hierarchy: · Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. · Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. · Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one of the different levels described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. During the reporting periods presented, the only asset or liability carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis was the long-term incentive plan accrual. The estimated fair value as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 was $130,000 and $730,000, respectively, which are considered level 3 measurements. The long-term incentive plan began on October 2, 2014 and is described in Note 5. The estimated fair value of the accrual is calculated on a quarterly basis using a Monte Carlo valuation model. Vesting is based on the probability of meeting the stock price criteria, the probability of which is considered in determining the estimated fair value. Remeasurements to fair value on a nonrecurring basis relate primarily to our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and occur when the derived fair value is below their carrying value on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We had no remeasurements of such assets to fair value in any of the periods covered in this report. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and convertible debt-related party approximate fair market value. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities. We consider all cash on-hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. We classify marketable securities having original maturities of more than three months when purchased and remaining maturities of one year or less as short-term investments and marketable securities with remaining maturities of more than one year as long-term investments. We further classify marketable securities as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. We classify marketable securities as held-to-maturity when we believe we have the ability and intent to hold such securities to their scheduled maturity dates. All other marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale. We have not designated any of our marketable securities as trading securities. We carry held-to-maturity marketable securities at their amortized cost and available-for-sale marketable securities at their fair value and report any unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of available-for-sale marketable securities in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We monitor our investment portfolio for any decline in fair value that is other-than-temporary and record any such impairment as an impairment loss. We recorded no impairment losses for other-than-temporary declines in the fair value of marketable securities in any of the periods covered in this report. Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid money market funds and debt securities with original maturities of three months or less totaling $2.0 million and $9.3 million at December 31 2015, and March 31, 2015, respectively. Money market funds present negligible risk of changes in value due to changes in interest rates, and their cost approximates their fair market value. We maintain cash in bank accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. Cash and cash equivalents held in foreign bank accounts totaled $507,000 and $896,000 at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Accounts Receivable. We grant credit to our customers in the normal course of business and, generally, do not require collateral or any other security to support amounts due. If necessary, we have an outside party assist us with performing credit and reference checks and establishing credit limits for the customer. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable relates to certain domestic and international customers to whom we make substantial sales. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our customers and, when appropriate, we obtain advance payments for our international sales. As a consequence, we believe that our accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Historically we have not experienced any significant credit losses related to any individual customer or group of customers in any particular industry or geographic area. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms, are considered past due. We carry our accounts receivable at the original invoice amount less an estimated allowance for doubtful receivables based on a periodic review of all outstanding amounts. We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the customer’s financial health, and both historical and expected credit loss experience. We write off our accounts receivable when we deem them uncollectible. We record recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off when received. We are not always able to timely anticipate changes in the financial condition of our customers and if circumstances related to these customers deteriorate, our estimates of the recoverability of accounts receivable could be materially affected and we may be required to record additional allowances. Alternatively, if more allowances are provided than are ultimately required, we may reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods based on the actual collection experience. Historically, the accounts receivable balances we have written off have generally been within our expectations. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $68,000 and $33,000 at December 31, 2015, and March 31, 2015, respectively. Inventories. We state inventories at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method. We value at lower of cost or market the slow moving and obsolete inventories based upon current and expected future product sales and the expected impact of product transitions or modifications. Historically, the inventory write-offs have generally been within our expectations. Inventories consist of the following: 12/31/15 3/31/15 Raw materials $ 2,385,000 $ 3,156,000 Work-in-process 793,000 527,000 Finished goods 1,407,000 1,143,000 $ 4,585,000 $ 4,826,000 Inventories acquired in a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair value less profit for sales efforts and expensed in cost of sales as that inventory is sold. As of March 31, 2015, the purchase accounting adjustment of $240,000 related to VSCI inventory was recorded in cost of goods sold over approximately the first four months of the transition period ended December 31, 2015. Property, Plant and Equipment. We carry property, plant and equipment, including leasehold improvements, at cost, less accumulated depreciation or fair value if acquired in a business combination, which consists of the following balances: 12/31/15 3/31/15 Land $ 133,000 $ 133,000 Building 610,000 606,000 Leasehold improvements 1,222,000 807,000 Internal use software 782,000 749,000 Equipment 3,042,000 6,888,000 $ 5,789,000 $ 9,183,000 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (3,234,000 ) (7,370,000 ) $ 2,555,000 $ 1,813,000 We provide for depreciation using the straight-line method over useful lives of three to seven years for equipment and 40 years for the building. Certain products used as sales demonstration and service loaner equipment are transferred from inventory to machinery and equipment and are depreciated over 3 years. We charge maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred. We capitalize improvements and amortize them over the shorter of their estimated useful service lives or the remaining lease term. We recognized depreciation expense of approximately $672,000 in the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2015, $183,000 in the nine-months ended December 31, 2014 and $249,000 and $323,000 in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We capitalized internal use software and web site development costs of approximately $34,000 in the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2015, $66,000 in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014, and $185,000 and $25,000 in fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. These costs are amortized over a three-year period. The net book value of our capitalized software for internal use was approximately $183,000 and $183,000 at December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Goodwill. Goodwill results from the Merger and represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets. Annually on November 30 or if conditions indicate an additional review is necessary, the Company assesses qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and if it is necessary to perform the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company performs the quantitative test, it compares the carrying value of the reporting unit to an estimate of the reporting unit’s fair value to identify potential impairment. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow model. Where available, and as appropriate, comparable market multiples are also used to corroborate the results of the discounted cash flow models. In determining the estimated future cash flow, the Company considers and applies certain estimates and judgments, including current and projected future levels of income based on management’s plans, business trends, prospects and market and economic conditions and market-participant considerations. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to determine the amount of the potential goodwill impairment. If impaired, goodwill is written down to its estimated implied fair value. For the November 30, 2015 annual impairment test, the Company performed step one of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of the step one analysis, the Company concluded that the fair value of its reporting unit was substantially in excess of the carrying value. There was no goodwill impairment loss for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2015. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or business circumstances indicate that we may not recover the carrying amount of an asset. We measure recoverability of assets held and used from a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows we expect to generate by the asset. If we consider such assets impaired, we measure the impairment recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. We completed our impairment analysis and concluded there were no impairments in any of the periods covered in this report. Product Warranty. We warrant our products to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of twelve months after the date of sale. Under the terms of these warranties, we repair or replace products we deem defective due to material or workmanship. The following table summarizes changes in our warranty reserve: 12/31/15 3/31/15 Warranty reserve at beginning of period $ 146,000 $ 9,000 Warranties accrued during the period 50,000 1,000 Warranties settled during the period (50,000 ) - Warranty reserve for VSCI - 136,000 Warranty reserve at end of period $ 146,000 $ 146,000 Other Liabilities. Other liabilities consist of the following: 12/31/15 3/31/15 Investment banking fee payable - 1,750,000 Sales tax and VAT payable 243,000 261,000 Accrued legal and accounting fees 69,000 189,000 Deferred rent - 148,000 Deferred revenue 308,000 - Other accrued expenses 329,000 102,000 $ 949,000 $ 2,450,000 Foreign Currency Translation. We translate all assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries using period-end exchange rates. We translate statements of operations items using average exchange rates for the period. We record the resulting translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive loss, a separate component of shareholders’ equity. We recognize foreign currency transaction gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations, including unrealized gains and losses on short-term intercompany obligations using period-end exchange rates. We recognize foreign currency transaction gains and losses primarily as a result of fluctuations in currency rates between the U.S. dollar (the functional reporting currency) and the Euro and British pound (currencies of our subsidiaries), as well as their effect on the dollar denominated intercompany obligations between us and our foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany balances are revolving in nature and we do not deem any portion of them to be long-term. We recognized foreign currency transaction gains and losses of approximately $(14,000) in the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2015, $(3,000) in the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and $(4,000) and $(5,000) in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Income Taxes. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recorded based on the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. We reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, when we believe it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. ASC 740, “ Accounting for Income Taxes Under our accounting policies we recognize interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within income tax expense. Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share. We calculate basic net loss per common share amounts by dividing net loss by the weighted-average common shares outstanding, excluding outstanding shares contingently subject to forfeiture. For calculating diluted net loss per common share amounts, we add additional shares to the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares, if dilutive. Because we have had net losses, the following options and warrants outstanding and unvested restricted stock to purchase shares of our common stock were excluded from diluted net loss per common share because of their anti-dilutive effect, and therefore, basic net loss per common share equals dilutive net loss per common share: Number of options, warrants and unvested restricted stock Range of exercise prices Period ended: Nine-months December 31, 2015 3,637,000 $1.64 - $24.40 Nine-months December 31, 2014 2,285,000 $2.84 - $24.40 March 31, 2015 2,569,000 $2.70 - $24.40 March 31, 2014 2,476,000 $1.06 - $24.40 March 31, 2013 2,196,000 $1.06 - $24.40 Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In 2015, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. The Company adopted this standard in conjunction with obtaining its new loan facility. There was no impact of the retrospective adoption to prior periods. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-2, Leases, under which lessees will recognize most leases on-balance sheet. This will generally increase reported assets and liabilities. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-2 mandates a modified retrospective transition method for all entities. The Company will begin the process of determining the impact this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805).” The amendments in this update require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Under the new guidance, the acquirer should record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. On the face of the income statement or in the notes, the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods need to be reflected as if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-16 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-12, “Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 815).” Under the new guidance, plans are no longer required to measure fully benefit-responsive investment contracts (FBRICs) at fair value, disaggregate investments by nature, risks and characteristics, disclose individual investments that represent five percent or more of net assets available for benefits, or disclose net appreciation or depreciation for investments by general price. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-12 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and earlier adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating whether or not this update is applicable to our business. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330).” Under the current guidance (i.e., ASC 330-10-352 before the ASU), an entity subsequently measures inventory at the lower of cost or market, with market defined as replacement cost, net realizable value (NRV), or NRV less a normal profit margin. An entity uses current replacement cost provided that it is not above NRV (i.e., the ceiling) or below NRV less an “approximately normal profit margin” (i.e., the floor). The new guidance requires entities to measure most inventory “at the lower of cost and net realizable value,” thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market (market in this context is defined as one of three different measures). The ASU will not apply to inventories that are measured by using either the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or the retail inventory method (RIM). The amendments in ASU No. 2015-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe the adoption of this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended by ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of Effective Date, which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 sets forth a new revenue recognition model that requires identifying the contract, identifying the performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. For public entities, this ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The provisions can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact that this ASU will have on the consolidated financial statements and its method of adoption. |
