RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS [Abstract]  
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS —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, replaced 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 became effective for us in our quarter ending June 30, 2018. The new guidance permitted 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 adopted the guidance in our quarter ending June 30, 2018 and used the full retrospective method. The outcome of adoption of the new standard are as follows:

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 remained substantially unchanged.

The accounting for certain bill and hold transactions resulted in revenue and costs for certain of those arrangements being recognized earlier than under current prior GAAP.  Additionally, we recognize revenues on the sale of off-lease equipment on a gross basis under the new revenue standard. The impact on our consolidated statement of operations for these changes was an increase in our net sales and costs of sales of $7.8 million and $2.4 million for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The impact on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018, was a decrease in accounts receivable – trade of $1.9 million, an increase in accounts receivable – other of $1.9 million, a decrease in deferred costs of $3.2 million, and a decrease in deferred revenues of $3.2 million. There is no impact to our retained earnings as of March 31, 2018.The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our cash flows from operations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED — 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 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 will become effective for us in the 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.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The core principle of this new standard, together with several updates to the standard issued by FASB in 2018 and early 2019, is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. This new standard also makes some changes to lessor accounting and aligns key aspects of the lessor accounting model with the revenue recognition standard. Our adoption of the new standard will impact our financial statements through our activities as both a lessor of IT and other equipment and a lessee of facilities.

We are adopting the new standard in our quarter ending June 30, 2019 using a transition option that allows entities to initially apply the new standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Under this transition option, we do not update the financial information and disclosures for comparative periods. Additionally, we are electing a package of practical expedients to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

At the beginning of our quarter ending June 30, 2019, as a lessee, there will be an approximate initial impact to our consolidated balance sheets of recognizing right to use assets of $12.7 million and lease liabilities of $12.3 million and a reduction in prepaid assets of $0.4 million.

Beginning upon adoption, as a lessor, we will recognize certain non-incremental, initial direct costs of obtaining a lease as an expense that had previously been deferred. In addition, we will recognize credit losses related to operating lease receivables as a reduction of revenue. Both these charges were not material in our year ended March 31, 2019. Further, we will recognize lessee-reimbursed property taxes as revenue with related expense whereas we previously presented these amounts net. This gross up of sales and cost of sales has no impact on gross profit; however, this will increase net sales and cost of sales by approximately $1 - $2 million during the year ending March 31, 2020.

Also beginning upon adoption, we will classify all cash flows from the issuance of, repayment of, and proceeds from the sale of financing receivables within operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flow. Previously, we separately classified our flows for financing receivables arising from products sourced through us and those not sourced through us within operating activities and within investing activities, respectively. Additionally, as both a lessor and lessee, we will be providing new disclosures in respect to our leases.
