SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial results of all subsidiaries that are more than
50%
owned and over which the Company exerts control. When the Company does
not
have majority ownership in an entity but exerts significant influence over that entity, the Company accounts for the entity under the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances are eliminated on consolidation. Where our ownership of a subsidiary was less than
100%,
the non-controlling interest is reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The non-controlling interest in our consolidated net income is reported as "Net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests" in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in our Form 
10
-KT for the
nine
months period ended
December 
31,
2018
filed with the SEC on
March 14, 2019.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangibles, impairment of goodwill, purchase price allocations, provision for doubtful receivables, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, measurements of stock-based compensation, assets and obligations related to employee benefits, lease termination liabilities, restructuring costs, and income tax uncertainties and other contingencies. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Although these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Revenue
 
On
April 1, 2018,
the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification
606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (Topic
606
) using the modified retrospective method. Topic
606
utilizes a
five
-step process, for revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control, rather than transfer of risks and rewards. It also provided additional guidance on accounting for contract acquisition and fulfillment costs. Refer Note
5
on "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" for further information.
 
Consistent with the modified retrospective method of adoption, the Company has
not
adjusted prior period amounts which continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic revenue accounting policy and principles.
 
Leases
 
On
January 1, 2019,
the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification
842,
Leases
,
(Topic
842
)
with
the transition approach
.
However, the Company has accounted the lease for the comparable periods as per the Accounting Standards Codification
840.
 
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current maturity of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property plant and equipment, long-term debt, accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
  
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the balance lease term. As most of our leases do
not
provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of initial application on determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms
may
include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
 
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.
 
Business Combinations
 
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC
805,
Business Combinations, by recognizing identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in the acquired business at their fair values. The excess of the cost of the acquired business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill was recorded at fair value at acquisition date and
not
amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Our goodwill is allocated by reporting unit and is evaluated for impairment by
first
performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative goodwill test is necessary. If it is determined, based on qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is "more likely than
not"
less than the carrying amount or if significant changes related to the reporting unit have occurred that could materially impact fair value, a quantitative goodwill impairment test would be required. The Company can elect to forgo the qualitative assessment and perform the quantitative test.
 
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination were recorded at fair value at acquisition date using generally accepted valuation methods appropriate for the type of intangible asset. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise.
 
Foreign Currency Matters
    
The Company has operations in Argentina and its functional currency has historically been the Argentine Peso. The Company monitors inflation rates in countries in which it operates as required by US GAAP. Under ASC
830
-
10
-
45
-
12,
an economy must be classified as highly inflationary when the cumulative
three
-year rate exceeds
100%.
 
In
May 2018,
a discussion document prepared by the Center for Audit Quality SEC Regulations Committee and its International Practices Task Force describes inflation data for Argentina through
April 2018.
Considering this data and more recent data for
May 2018,
all of the
three
-year cumulative inflation rates commonly used to evaluate Argentina’s inflation currently exceed
100%.
 
Therefore, the Company has considered Argentina to be highly inflationary beginning on
July 1, 2018.
In accordance with ASC
830,
the functional currency of the Argentina business has been changed to USD, which requires remeasurement of the local books to USD. Exchange gains and losses is recorded through net income as opposed to through other comprehensive income as had been done historically. Translation adjustments from prior periods will
not
be removed from equity.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We recognize expense related to all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, based on the grant-date fair values amortized straight-line over the period during which the employees are required to provide services in exchange for the equity instruments. We include an estimate of forfeitures when calculating compensation expense. We use the Black-Scholes method for valuing stock-based awards. See Note
11,
“Share-Based Compensation” for further information.
 
Common Stock Warrant Accounting
 
We account for common stock warrants as equity instruments, based on the specific terms of our warrant agreement. For more information refer to Note
11,
"Share-Based Compensation."
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
August 2018,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
2018
-
14,
 
Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic
715
-
20
): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (“ASU
2018
-
14”
)
.  The amendment makes minor changes to the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other post retirement benefit plans. The new guidance eliminates requirements for certain disclosures that are
no
longer considered cost beneficial and requires new ones that the FASB considers pertinent. ASU
No.

is effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2020.
The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU

on its financial statement disclosures.
 
In
June 2016,
FASB issued accounting standard updated on 
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic
326
)
,
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.
The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren't measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today's "incurred loss" approach with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. It also simplifies the accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2019,
and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2018,
and interim periods therein. We do
not
expect the adoption of this standards will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In
August 2018,
the FASB issued ASU
No.
2018
-
13,
“Disclosure Framework— Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The ASU modifies the disclosure requirements with respect to fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for the Company beginning
January 1, 2020,
including interim periods in fiscal year
2020.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, financial position and disclosures.
