NOTE 1 - Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared by RELM Wireless Corporation (the “Company”), and are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been made.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

 

Fair Value

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and available-for-sale securities, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximated their respective fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.

The Company uses observable market data or assumptions (Level 1 inputs as defined in accounting guidance) that it believes market participants would use in pricing the available-for-sale securities. There were no sales of available-for-sale securities, nor gains or losses reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of an other-than-temporary impairment of the available-for-sale securities.

Available-For-Sale Securities

Investments reported on the September 30, 2015 balance sheet consist of marketable equity securities of publicly held companies. Management intends to hold such securities for a sufficient period in which to realize a reasonable return, which periods may range between one to several years, although there is no assurance that positive returns will be realized or that such securities will not be liquidated in a shorter-than-expected time frame to accommodate future liquidity requirements. Accordingly, investments were classified as non-current and available-for-sale in conformity with ASC Section 320. Investments are marked to market at each measurement date, with unrealized gains or losses presented as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. 

Other Comprehensive Income

 

The Company reports its comprehensive income in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and presenting comprehensive income and its components in a full set of financial statements. Other comprehensive income consists of net income and unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that impacted the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, or which are expected to impact future periods, which were not previously disclosed in prior periods.

 

The FASB issued ASU 2015-11 “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” to simplify the guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory measured using last-in, first out or the retail inventory method. Under the new standard, inventory should be at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect this standard will have, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

  

In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue recognition, which provides for a single, principles-based model for revenue recognition and replaces the existing revenue recognition guidance. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. It permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method and early adoption is not permitted. However, the FASB recently decided to delay the effective date by one year for all entities with the option to adopt the standard as of the original effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effect this standard will have, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
