Fair Value, Measurement Inputs, Disclosure [Text Block]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

When determining fair value, the Company uses a

three

-tier value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Whenever possible, the Company uses observable market data. The Company relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is

not

available. Classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

The following table sets forth the financial assets and liabilities, measured at fair value, as of

July 31, 2017

and

January 31, 2017:

Derivative Instruments

The Company entered into an interest rate swap in

May 2012

to mitigate the exposure to the variability of

one

month LIBOR for its floating rate debt described in Note

“Debt” within these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value of the interest rate swap is reflected as a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the change in fair value is reported in “Other (income) expense” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. The fair value of the interest rate swap is estimated as the net present value of projected cash flows based upon forward interest rates at the balance sheet date.

The fair values of the derivative instrument at

July 31, 2017

INCOME TAXES

In determining the provision for income taxes for the

second

quarter of fiscal

2018,

the Company calculated income tax expense based on actual quarterly results, adjusted for discrete items recorded during the period. Due to the near breakeven forecast for fiscal

2018,

actual quarterly results provided a more reliable estimate of quarterly tax expense. In determining the provision for income taxes for the

second

quarter of fiscal

2017,

the Company calculated income tax expense based on the estimated annual tax rate for the year, adjusted for discrete items recorded during the period.

The Company recorded income tax expense (benefit) of

$0.8

million and $(

0.6

) million in the

second

quarter of fiscal

2018

and

2017,

respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was (

253%

) for the

second

quarter of fiscal

2018

compared to (

146%

) for the same period in the prior year. The difference in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the difference in calculation methodology (actual vs. estimated) and the valuation allowance recorded against additional U.S. deferred tax assets generated during the

second

quarter of fiscal

2018.

The Company recorded income tax expense (benefit) of

$1.5

million and $(

1.6

) million for the

first

six

months of fiscal

2018

and

2017,

respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was (

64%

) for the

first

six

months of fiscal

2018

and

47%

for the same period in the prior year. The difference in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the difference in calculation methodology (actual vs. estimated) and the valuation allowance recorded against additional U.S. deferred tax assets generated during the

first

six

months of fiscal

2018.

The gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was

$1.7

million at

July 31, 2017,

including interest and penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits were reduced by

$1.0

million with an accompanying reduction of deferred tax assets, as a result of the netting required under ASU

2013

11.

The entire amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will impact the Company’s effective tax rate. This liability is classified as long-term unless the liability is expected to conclude within

twelve

months of the reporting date.

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of

July 31, 2017,

the Company has accrued approximately

$0.2

million of interest and penalty expense relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

Each agreement contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the customer and generally includes certain provisions for indemnifying the customer against losses, expenses and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the customer in the event the Company’s software is found to infringe upon certain intellectual property rights of a third party. The agreements generally limit the scope of and remedies for such indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects. The Company believes its internal development processes and other policies and practices limit its exposure related to the indemnification provisions of the agreements. For several reasons, including the lack of prior indemnification claims and the lack of a monetary liability limit for certain infringement cases under the agreements, the Company cannot determine the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to such indemnification provisions. Legal Actions The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Jul. 31, 2017
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements fairly present the financial information contained therein. These statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10 -Q and Article 10 of Regulation S- X. In management’s opinion, all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments, have been included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to present fairly the financial position and operating results of QAD Inc. (“QAD” or the “Company”). The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended January 31, 2017. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2018.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent changes in accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or adopted by the Company during the six months ended July 31, 2017, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company. Accounting Standards Adopted The Company adopted ASU 2016 - 09 regarding ASC Topic 718, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. The adoption required the Company to reflect any adjustments as of February 1, 2016, the beginning of the annual period that includes the interim period of adoption. In addition, with the adoption of the standard, the Company was required to revise its reported quarterly results for the six months ended July 31, 2016, representing a retrospective adjustment to beginning accumulated deficit and to the previously reported results for the six months ended July 31, 2016. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014 - 09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The standard was issued to provide a single framework that replaces existing industry and transaction specific U.S. GAAP with a five -step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The accounting standard update will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. 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. Therefore, ASU 2014 - 09 will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2019 and we do not plan to early adopt. The Company expects to adopt the requirements of the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition. The Company anticipates this standard might have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has assigned internal resources and has hired third party consultants to assist in the evaluation of that impact. While the assessment of all potential impacts of the standard is on-going, the Company currently believes the most significant impact relates to accounting for software license revenue. The requirement to have VSOE for undelivered elements to enable the separation of revenue for the delivered software licenses is eliminated under the new standard. In addition, removal of current limitations on contingent revenue may result in revenue being recognized earlier for some contracts. The Company expects revenue related to subscription and professional services to remain substantially unchanged and is still in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on these arrangements. Due to the complexity of some contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under the new standard for these arrangements may be dependent on contract-specific terms and vary in some instances. The Company is also continuing to evaluate the impact of the standard on recognition of costs related to obtaining customer contracts, primarily with respect to sales commissions. The commission accounting under the new standard is significantly different than the Company's current policy of expensing commissions upfront. The new standard will require the Company to defer direct and incremental commission costs to obtain new subscription and maintenance contracts and amortize those costs over the expected period of benefit. We are still evaluating the period of benefit but expect to be in the range of five to seven years. While the Company continues to assess the potential impacts and disclosure requirements of the new standard, the Company cannot reasonably estimate quantitative information related to the impact of the new standard on the financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 02, Leases (Topic 842 ). ASU 2016 - 02 requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. ASU 2016 - 02 is effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2020 on a modified retrospective basis and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016 - 02 on its consolidated financial statements and expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption of ASU 2016 - 02. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 16, Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory which requires that entities recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. ASU 2016 - 16 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning February 1, 2018. The standard is required to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting, transition, and disclosure requirements of the standard. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017 - 04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350 ): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill to eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In addition, it eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if that fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. The amendments will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not believe adoption of ASU 2017 - 04 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017 - 01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance is required to be applied on a prospective basis. The effect of adoption of ASU 2017 - 01 will depend upon the nature of the Company's future acquisitions, if any.
