RECENTLY ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS [Abstract]  
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED — In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which, along with amendments issued in 2015 and 2016, will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and eliminate industry specific guidance. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods and services equal to an amount it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods and services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. Including the one-year deferral, these updates become effective for us in our quarter ending June 30, 2018. The new guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective method).

We established a cross-functional implementation team and utilized a bottom-up approach to analyze the impact of the standard on our arrangements by reviewing the current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of the new standard to our revenue contracts.

We will adopt the guidance in our quarter ending June 30, 2018 and will use the full retrospective method. We finalized our accounting policies under the new standard and we have determined:

·
The accounting for revenue within our technology segment related to the sale of third-party products, software, services, as well as our professional and managed services will remain substantially unchanged.
·
The accounting for bill and hold transactions will result in revenue for certain of those arrangements being recognized earlier than under current GAAP. This change will result in an increase in net sales and decrease in deferred revenue of $3.2 million and an increase in cost of sales and decrease in deferred costs of $3.1 million, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2018. This change does not impact the financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.
·
We will recognize revenues on the sale of off-lease equipment on a gross basis under the new revenue standard, which we currently recognize on a net basis.  This will result in an increase to our reported net sales of $4.5 million, $2.4 million, and $4.5 million for the years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
·
The adoption of this standard will not materially impact our consolidated balance sheet or cash flows from operations.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will supersede the current U.S. GAAP on this topic. The core principle of this update is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. This update requires adoption under the modified retrospective approach and becomes effective for us in our quarter ending June 30, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current US GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This update requires adoption under a modified retrospective approach and becomes effective for us in our quarter ending June 30, 2020. Early adoption is permitted beginning in our quarter ending June 30, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our financial statements.
