Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation |
|
Speed Commerce, Inc. (the “Company” or “Speed Commerce”), a Minnesota corporation formed in 1983, and formerly known as Navarre Corporation, is a distributor, provider of complete logistics solutions for traditional and e-commerce retail channels and a publisher of computer software. The Company operates through two business segments — Distribution and E-Commerce and Fulfillment Services. |
|
Through the Distribution Segment, the Company distributes computer software, consumer electronics and accessories and video games. The Distribution Segment focuses on providing a range of value-added services, including vendor-managed inventory, electronic and internet-based ordering. |
|
Through the E-Commerce and Fulfillment Services Segment, the Company provides web platform development and hosting, customer care, fulfillment, order management, logistics and call center capabilities for clients. |
|
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Speed Commerce have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. |
|
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. |
|
On November 20, 2012, Speed Commerce acquired all of the equity interests of SpeedFC, Inc. (a Delaware corporation, through a merger of that entity with and into a Speed Commerce wholly-owned subsidiary, now named Speed Commerce Corp., a Minnesota corporation (“SCC”) (the transaction, the “Acquisition”) pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 27, 2012, as amended on October 29, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”). SCC is a leading provider of end-to-end e-commerce services to retailers and manufacturers and its financial results are included in the Company’s E-commerce and Fulfillment Services Segment. |
|
Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s business, the operating results and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Speed Commerce, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013. |
|
Basis of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Speed Commerce, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company”). |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
|
The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, with the exception of cash (Level 1), contingent payment obligation (Level 3) and contingent common stock obligation (Level 3). |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
All customer revenues are recorded net of discounts and allowances provided to customers. Revenue recognition varies by segment based on the nature of the business and contractual terms and conditions. |
|
Distribution Segment. Revenue for the Distribution Segment is recognized on products shipped, including consigned products owned by the Company, when title and risk of loss transfers, delivery has occurred, the price to the buyer is determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Under certain conditions, the Company permits its customers to return or destroy products. The Company records a reserve for sales returns, product destructions and allowances against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivables to the amounts the Company reasonably believes will be collected. These reserves are based on the application of the Company’s historical or anticipated gross profit percentage against average sales returns and product destructions, sales discounts percent against average gross sales and specific reserves for marketing programs. |
|
The Company’s distribution customers, at times, qualify for certain price protection benefits from the Company’s vendors. The Company serves as an intermediary to settle these amounts between vendors and customers. The Company accounts for these amounts as reductions of revenue with corresponding reductions in cost of sales. |
|
Service revenues within the Distribution Segment are recognized upon delivery of the services. The Company records amounts received from customers for out-of-pocket expenses, primarily freight and supplies, as revenue and the associated expense as a cost of sales. |
|
E-commerce and Fulfillment Services Segment. Revenue for the E-commerce and Fulfillment Services Segment is recognized based on terms of service within the customer contract. A portion of the Company’s service revenue arrangements include upfront service elements, such as web implementation and migration, and recurring service elements such as web site support, e-commerce fulfillment services and additional services. The Company does not earn or receive any commissions from its customers. Fees related to upfront contract services, such as web site implementation and migration, are deferred and recognized ratably over the expected term of the relationship with the customer, beginning when delivery of recurring services has occurred. Costs associated with the upfront contract fees are deferred and recognized consistent with the recognition of revenues. Recurring contract service elements are charged based on the number of transactions processed and recognized as the services are performed as measured by the volume of orders completed. |
|
Software Development Costs |
|
The Company accounts for its software development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 985, Costs of Computer Software to Be Sold, Leased or Marketed. Capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. In the development of our products and our enhancements to existing products, technological feasibility is not established until substantially all product development is complete, including the development of a working model. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of recoverability of capitalized software development costs requires considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Such costs are amortized using the straight-line method beginning when the product or enhancement is available for general release over the estimated economic life of the product or enhancement, generally three years. |

Pending Accounting Pronouncements |
|
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, an amendment to FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes (“FASB ASC Topic 740”). This update clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective for the Company’s annual and quarterly reporting periods ending after April 1, 2014. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements and financial statement disclosures. |
