Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Investments in entities where the Company does not have a controlling interest are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. These investments were initially recorded at cost and were subsequently adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of the investment’s income (loss) and additional contributions or distributions. All inter-company accounts and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation.

Quarterly Reporting

Quarterly Reporting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s balance sheets, statements of operations, statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017. The consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of full year results.

Estimates

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

From time to time, the Company has been, is or may in the future be a defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The outcome of any litigation is uncertain; it is possible that a judgment in any legal actions to which the Company is a party, or which are proposed or threatened, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. See Note 10.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017.

The Company has substantially completed its preliminary assessment of potential changes from adopting the new standard, which included a detailed review of contractual terms for all of its significant revenue streams. The Company currently recognizes subscription revenue ratably over the subscription period. Under the updated standard, subscriptions represent a series of performance obligations that are delivered over time, primarily on a stand-ready basis. As a result, the Company believes that its subscription revenue meets the criteria for revenue recognition over time and will continue to be recognized ratably under ASU 2014-09.

Additionally, the Company’s evaluation considers the impact of the new standard on accounting for certain incremental costs associated with obtaining contracts with customers, such as commissions. The new standard requires these costs to be capitalized and amortized over the estimated life of the asset. Currently, these costs are expensed as incurred. The Company expects to record an asset and a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption of the new revenue standard in the beginning of 2018 as a result of capitalizing commissions, including the incremental commission costs associated with acquiring a new customer. The amortization periods associated with such incremental costs have not yet been determined by the Company. In addition, the Company is assessing the impact of the new standard on its policies and procedures, internal controls and systems to support recognition and disclosure under the new standard. The Company will utilize the modified retrospective method when it adopts the new standard on January 1, 2018. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the new standard and an estimate of the impact to the consolidated financial statements cannot be made at this time.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASU 2016-09”). Under ASU 2016-09, entities will be required to recognize the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The guidance on employers’ accounting for (1) an employee’s use of shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation and (2) forfeitures is also changing. For public business entities, ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 as of

 

January 1, 2017, which included (1) recording an additional deferred tax asset on the consolidated balance sheet of approximately $657,000 and (2) the recording of a cumulative effect change in stockholders’ equity related to the prior treatment of estimated forfeitures of $28,000 as the Company has elected to record forfeitures in the period in which they occur. The cumulative effect change in accounting principle is reflected on the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity to reconcile from the previously reported December 31, 2016 balances to the recast amounts after giving effect to ASU 2016-09. Other than the items identified, the adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 clarifies how cash receipts and cash payments in certain transactions are presented in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 intends to address the diversity in practice that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendments require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-18 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides criteria to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities (a “set”) is not a business and narrows the definition of the term output so that it is consistent with the description of outputs in Topic 606. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is only permitted for transactions that have not been reported in financial statements that have been issued or made available for issuance. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 removes Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge will be recorded based on the difference, with the impairment charge limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted on or after January 1, 2017. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and will perform the annual goodwill impairment analysis as of October 1, 2017 in accordance with the new pronouncement. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures

Reclassification

Reclassification

Amounts in certain accounts, as presented in the consolidated statements of operations and condensed operating data in Note 3 have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In particular, the Company has changed its presentation of revenue to include two categories: subscription revenue and other revenue.
