Description of Business
Iteris, Inc. (referred to collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ClearAg, Inc. and Albeck Gerken, Inc. ("AGI"), in this report as "Iteris", the "Company", "we", "our", and "us") is a provider of smart mobility infrastructure solutions. Our solutions enable public transportation agencies, municipalities, commercial entities and other transportation infrastructure providers to monitor, visualize, and optimize mobility infrastructure to help ensure roads are safe, travel is efficient, and communities thrive.
As a pioneer in intelligent transportation systems ("ITS") technology, our intellectual property, advanced detection sensors, mobility and traffic data, software-as-a-service ("SaaS") offerings, specialized consulting services and end-to-end solutions delivered as cloud-enabled managed services represent a comprehensive range of smart mobility infrastructure management solutions that we distribute to customers throughout the United States ("U.S.") and internationally.
Prior to the sale of our Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment in May 2020, we combined our intellectual property with enhanced atmospheric, land surface and agronomic modeling techniques to offer smart content and analytical solutions that provide analytical support to large enterprises in the agriculture industry, such as seed and crop protection companies, integrated food companies, and agricultural equipment manufacturers and service providers.
We believe our products, solutions and services increase safety and decrease congestion within our communities, while also minimizing environmental impact.
We continue to make significant investments to leverage our existing technologies and further expand our advanced detection sensors, transportation performance analytics systems, and specialized consulting services and cloud-enabled managed services in the smart mobility infrastructure management market, and we are always exploring strategic alternatives intended to optimize the value of our Company.
Iteris was incorporated in Delaware in 1987 and has operated in its current form since 2004.
Recent Developments
COVID-19 Update
The COVID-19 pandemic (the “Pandemic”) has materially adversely impacted global economic conditions. More than twelve months into the Pandemic, COVID-19 continues to have an unpredictable and unprecedented impact on the U.S. economy as federal, state and local governments react to this public health crisis with travel restrictions, quarantines and "stay-at-home" orders. The uncertainties caused by the Pandemic include, but are not limited to, supply chain disruptions, workplace dislocations, economic contraction, and downward pressure on some customer budgets and customer sentiment in general. While there has been no material impact to our business during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, we did experience some work delays due to the Pandemic. Should such conditions become protracted or worsen or should longer term budgets or priorities of our clients be impacted, the Pandemic could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The extent of the impact of the Pandemic on our business and financial results, and the volatility of our stock price will depend largely on future developments, including the duration of the spread of the outbreak, the distribution, rate of adoption and efficacy of vaccines, the impact on capital and financial markets and the related impact on the budgets and financial circumstances of our customers, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated as of the date of this report.
Given the uncertainties surrounding the impacts of the Pandemic on the Company's future financial condition and results of operations, the Company has taken certain actions to preserve its liquidity, manage cash flow and strengthen its financial flexibility. Such actions include, but are not limited to, reducing discretionary spending, reducing capital expenditures, implementing restructuring activities, and reducing payroll costs, including employee furloughs, pay freezes and pay cuts. Refer to Note 4, Restructuring Activities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was signed into law in the United States. The CARES Act provides relief to U.S. corporations through financial assistance programs and modifications to certain income tax provisions. The Company is applying certain beneficial provisions of the CARES Act, including the payroll tax deferral and the alternative minimum tax acceleration. Refer to Note 6, Income Taxes, to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company assessed the impacts of the Pandemic on the estimates and assumptions used in preparing these audited consolidated financial statements. The estimates and assumptions used in these assessments were based on management’s judgment and may be subject to change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. In particular, there is significant uncertainty about the duration and extent of the impact of the Pandemic and its resulting impact on global economic conditions. If economic conditions caused by the Pandemic do not recover as currently estimated by management, the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be materially impacted. See below for areas that required more judgments and estimates as a result of the Pandemic. The Company will continue to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of the Pandemic and the actions implemented to combat the virus throughout the world and its assessment of the impact of the Pandemic may change.
Acquisition of the Assets of TrafficCast International, Inc.
On December 6, 2020, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “TrafficCast Purchase Agreement”) with TrafficCast International, Inc. (“TrafficCast”), a privately held company headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin that provides travel information technology, applications and content to customers throughout North America in the media, mobile technology, automotive and public sectors. Under the TrafficCast Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase from TrafficCast substantially all of its assets, composed of its travel information technology, applications and content (the “TrafficCast Business”). The transaction closed on December 7, 2020.
Under the TrafficCast Purchase Agreement, Iteris purchased from TrafficCast substantially all of the assets used in the conduct of the TrafficCast Business and assumed certain specified liabilities of the TrafficCast Business in exchange for a total purchase price of up to $17.7 million, with $15.0 million paid in cash on the closing date, $1.0 million held back as security for certain post-closing adjustments and post-closing indemnity obligations of TrafficCast, $1.1 million acquisition-related liability, and a $1.0 million earn out, fair valued at $0.6 million as of March 31, 2021, that if earned, will be paid over two years based on the TrafficCast Business’ achievement of certain revenue targets. The TrafficCast Purchase Agreement also provides for customary post-closing adjustments to the purchase price tied to working capital balances of the TrafficCast Business at closing (see Note 12, Acquisitions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
The parties also entered into certain ancillary agreements that will provide Iteris with ongoing access to mapping and monitoring services that the TrafficCast Business uses to support its real-time and predictive travel data and associated content.
Public Offering and Acquisition of Albeck Gerken, Inc.
On June 13, 2019, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 6,182,797 shares of the Company's common stock for net proceeds to the Company of approximately $26.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used approximately $6.2 million of the net proceeds of this offering to pay the cash portion of the purchase price in the acquisition of AGI, a privately-held professional transportation engineering services firm headquartered in Tampa, Florida (see Note 12, Acquisitions, to the Consolidated Financial Statements), and plans to use the balance of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes and possibly for other future acquisitions.
Sale of Agriculture and Weather Analytics Segment
On May 5, 2020, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of our assets used in connection with our Agriculture and Weather Analytics ("AWA") segment to DTN, LLC (“DTN”), an operating company of TBG AG, a Swiss-based holding company, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “AWA Purchase Agreement”) signed on May 2, 2020, in exchange for a total purchase consideration of $12.0 million in cash, subject to working capital adjustments. Upon closing on May 5, 2020, the Company received $10.5 million in cash and $1.5 million of deferred payment, of which $1.45 million has been paid by DTN at the 12-month anniversary of the closing date, and $0.05 million will be paid by DTN at the 18-month anniversary of the closing date, subject to satisfactions of the conditions set forth in the AWA Purchase Agreement relating to the transition of certain customers to DTN and the collection of certain receivables by DTN. See Note 3, Discontinued Operations, to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further details on the sale of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment.
Restructuring Activities
On April 30, 2020, in connection with the sale of the Agriculture and Weather Analytics segment, the Board of Directors of the Company approved restructuring activities to better position the Company for increased profitability and growth. Restructuring charges of approximately $1.5 million were incurred for separation costs for certain employees who did not transition to DTN, additional positions that were eliminated to right-size the cost structure of the Company, and the impairment of certain lease-related assets (see Note 4, Restructuring Activities, to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Iteris, Inc. and all its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include, but not limited to, recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets; fair value of acquired intangible assets and goodwill; collectability of accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts; projections of taxable income used to assess realizability of deferred tax assets; warranty reserves; costs to complete long-term contracts; indirect cost rates used in cost plus contracts; fair value of stock option awards and equity instruments; estimates of future cash flows used to assess the recoverability of the impairment of goodwill; fair value of contingent consideration and capitalization and estimated useful life of the Company's internal-use software development costs. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under current circumstances. However, future events are subject to change and best estimates and judgments may require further adjustments, therefore, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates such estimates and they are adjusted prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in a gross amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We generate all of our revenue from contracts with customers.
Product revenue related contracts with customers begin when we acknowledge a purchase order for a specific customer order of product to be delivered in the near term and these purchase orders are short-term in nature. Product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product, depending on shipping terms. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of goods as transfer of control typically occurs upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product.
Service revenues, primarily derived from our Transportation Systems segment, are primarily from long-term engineering and consulting service contracts with governmental agencies. These contracts generally include performance obligations in which control is transferred over time. We recognize revenue on fixed fee contracts, over time, using the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract performance obligation. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as the proportion closely depicts the efforts or inputs completed towards the satisfaction of a fixed fee contract performance obligation. Time & Materials ("T&M") and Cost Plus Fixed Fee ("CPFF") contracts are considered variable consideration. However, performance obligations with these fee types qualify for the "Right to Invoice" Practical Expedient. Under this practical expedient, the Company is allowed to recognize revenue, over time, in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice. In addition, the Company is not required to estimate such variable consideration upon inception of the contract and reassess the estimate each reporting period. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as, upon billing, the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Company's performance completed to date.
Service revenues also consist of revenues derived from maintenance and support, extended warranty, and the use of the Company's service platforms and APIs on a subscription basis. We generate this revenue from fees for maintenance and support, extended warranty, monthly active user fees, software-as-a-service ("SaaS") fees, and hosting and storage fees. In most cases, the subscription or transaction arrangement is a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). The Company applies a time-based measure of progress to the total transaction price, which results in ratable recognition over the term of the contract. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as the customer obtains equal benefit from the service throughout the service period.
The Company accounts for individual goods and services separately if they are distinct performance obligations, which often requires significant judgment based upon knowledge of the products and/or services, the solution provided and the structure of the sales contract. In SaaS agreements, we provide a service to the customer which combines the software functionality, maintenance and hosting into a single performance obligation. In product related contracts, a purchase order may contain different products, each constituting a separate performance obligation.
We generally estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled and in certain cases based on the expected value, which requires judgment. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We review and update these estimates on a quarterly basis.
The Company's typical performance obligations include the following:

Disaggregation of Revenue
The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into reportable segments and the nature of the products and services. See Note 13, Business Segments, Significant Customer and Geographic Information for further details.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances
We classify our right to consideration in exchange for goods and services as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment is due). We present such receivables in trade accounts receivable, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at their net estimated realizable value.
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. If warranted, the allowance is increased by the Company's provision for doubtful accounts, which is charged against income. All recoveries on receivables previously charged off are included in income, while direct charge-offs of receivables are deducted from the allowance.
A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets are presented as unbilled accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. For example, we would record a contract asset if we record revenue on a professional services engagement, but are not entitled to bill until we achieve specified milestones.
Our contract assets and refund liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Refund liabilities are consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations.
Contract Fulfillment Costs
The Company evaluates whether or not we should capitalize the costs of fulfilling a contract. Such costs would be capitalized when they are not within the scope of other standards and: (1) are directly related to a contract; (2) generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy performance obligations; and (3) are expected to be recovered. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, there was approximately $3.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of contract fulfillment costs which are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as prepaid and other current assets. These costs primarily relate to the satisfaction of performance obligations related to the set up of SaaS platforms. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the SaaS platform.
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was immaterial primarily as a result of termination provisions within our contracts which make the duration of the accounting term of the contract one year or less.
Practical Expedients and Exemptions
T&M and CPFF contracts are considered variable consideration. However, performance obligations with an underlying fee type of T&M or CPFF qualify for the "Right to Invoice" Practical Expedient under ASC 606-10-55-18. Under this practical expedient, the Company is not required to estimate such variable consideration upon inception of the contract and reassess the estimate each reporting period.
The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-50-14 of not disclosing information about its remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration (i.e., contract term, determined based on the analysis of termination provisions described above) of 12 months or less.
The Company pays sales commissions on certain sales contracts. These costs are accrued in the same period that the revenues are recorded. Using the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred since the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.
The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-25-18B to account for shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, and not a promised service (a revenue element). Shipping and handling costs are included as cost of revenues in the period during which the products ship.
The Company excludes from the transaction price all sales taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority and that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer (for example, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes). This employs the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-2A. Sales taxes are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is comprised of refund liabilities related to billings and consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of demand deposits and money market funds maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with high quality financial institutions, and therefore are believed to have minimal credit risk.
Our accounts receivable are primarily derived from billings with customers located throughout North America, as well as in Europe, South America and Asia. We generally do not require collateral or other security from our domestic customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses, which losses have historically been within management's expectations.
We currently have, and historically have had, a diverse customer base. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 ("Fiscal 2021") and, March 31, 2020 ("Fiscal 2020"), no individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenues. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 ("Fiscal 2019"), one individual customer represented approximately 24% of our total revenues. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, no individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total accounts receivable.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The accounting guidance provided in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820") for fair value provides a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and expands disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.
Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial instruments on a recurring basis. The Company's financial instruments, which include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are recorded at their carrying amounts, which approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. All marketable securities are considered to be available-for-sale and recorded at their estimated fair values. In valuing these items, the Company uses inputs and assumptions that market participants would use to determine their fair value, utilizing valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with initial maturities of 90 days or less.
As of March 31, 2021 and 2020 restricted cash was 0.3 million and 0.1 million, respectively, related to cash restricted for shares purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") (see Note 10 for further details on the ESPP).
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash presented in the accompanying statements of cash flows consist of the following (in thousands):
Year Ended March 31,
20212020
Cash and cash equivalents$25,205 $14,217 
Restricted cash263 146 
$25,468 $14,363 
Investments
The Company's investments are classified as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, in accordance with ASC 320. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. Trading securities are those securities that the Company intends to sell in the near term. All other securities not included in the held-to-maturity or trading category are classified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost which approximates fair market value. Trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses charged to earnings. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders' equity. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available (see Note 5). As of March 31, 2021, all of our investments are available-for-sale.
Under ASC 320-10-35, a security is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are less than the security's amortized cost basis (the difference being defined as the "Credit Loss") or if the fair value of the security is less than the security's amortized cost basis and the investor intends, or will be required, to sell the security before recovery of the security's amortized cost basis. If an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the charge to earnings is limited to the amount of Credit Loss if the investor does not intend to sell the security, and will not be required to sell the security, before recovery of the security's amortized cost basis. Any remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost is recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of applicable taxes. The Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value of its investments is other-than-temporary at each quarter-end. This evaluation consists of a review by management, and includes market pricing information and maturity dates for the securities held, market and economic trends in the industry and information on the issuer's financial condition and, if applicable, information on the guarantors' financial condition. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which the investment's fair value has been less than its cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and guarantors, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the Company's intent and ability to retain the investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery of fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company's assessment of its ability to collect on customer accounts receivable. The collectability of our accounts receivable is evaluated through review of outstanding invoices and ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition. In cases where we are aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer's ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, we will record an allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduce the net recognized accounts receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. The Company writes-off accounts receivable against the allowance when a determination is made that the balance is uncollectible and collection of the receivable is no longer being actively pursued. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.0 million and $0.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods, work-in-process and raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related assets ranging from three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets with determinable economic lives are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful life of each asset on a straight-line basis. The Company determines the useful lives of identifiable intangible assets after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. Factors the Company considers when determining useful lives include the contractual term of any agreement related to the asset, the historical performance of the asset, the Company's long-term strategy for using the asset, any laws or other local regulations which could impact the useful life of the asset and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions. Intangible assets without determinable economic lives are carried at cost, not amortized and reviewed for impairment at least annually.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. In the valuation of goodwill, management must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows to be derived from the Company's business. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment for these assets.
The Company has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. However, the Company may elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment tests. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its net book value, including goodwill. If the net book value exceeds its fair value, the Company would perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of the impairment loss. We perform an annual quantitative assessment of our goodwill during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently, to determine if any events or circumstances exist, such as an adverse change in business climate or a decline in overall industry demand, that would indicate that it would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, including goodwill. If events or circumstances do not indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount, then goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required, if otherwise, we compare the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, if any, is recognized as an impairment loss. We monitor the indicators for goodwill impairment testing between annual tests. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, we determined that no adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill were required.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including property, equipment and intangible assets (other than goodwill) for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We determine whether the carrying value of an asset or asset group is recoverable, based on comparisons to undiscounted expected future cash flows the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If an asset is not recoverable, we record an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. We primarily use the income valuation approach to determine the fair value of our long lived and intangible assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.3 million in impairment charges related to right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements directly resulting from the restructuring activities. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no additional impairment to our long-lived and intangible assets.
Income Taxes
We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, which increases our income tax expense in the period such determination is made. As such, we determined it was appropriate to record a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We will continuously reassess the appropriateness of maintaining a valuation allowance.
Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.
Stock-Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation in our consolidated statements of operations as an expense, based on the estimated grant date fair value of our stock-based awards, whereby such fair values are amortized over the requisite service period. Our stock-based awards are currently comprised of common stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units. The fair value of our common stock option awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula. The fair value of our performance stock unit awards is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. While the use of these models meets established requirements, the estimated fair values generated by the models may not be indicative of the actual fair values of our awards as it does not consider certain factors important to those awards to employees, such as continued employment and periodic vesting requirements, as well as limited transferability. The fair value of our restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested stock-based awards, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense.
Research and Development Expenditures
Research and development expenditures are charged to expense in the period incurred.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are included as cost of revenues in the period during which the products ship.
Sales Taxes
Sales taxes are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities
We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception and determine the classification of the lease, as either operating or finance, at commencement.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments which factors in certain qualifying initial direct costs incurred as well as any lease incentives received. If an implicit rate is not readily determinable, we utilize inputs from third-party lenders to determine the appropriate discount rate. Lease expense for operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance leases incur interest expense using the effective interest method in addition to amortization of the leased asset on straight-line basis, both over the applicable lease term. Lease terms may factor in options to extend or terminate the lease.
We adhere to the short-term lease recognition exemption for all classes of assets (i.e. facilities and equipment). As a result, leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In addition, for certain equipment leases, we account for lease and non-lease components, such as services, as a single lease component as permitted.
Warranty
We generally provide a one to three years warranty from the original invoice date on all products, materials and workmanship. Products sold to various original equipment manufacturer customers sometimes carry longer warranties. Defective products will be either repaired or replaced, usually at our option, upon meeting certain criteria. We accrue a provision for the estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties relating to a product as a component of cost of sales at the time revenue for that product is recognized. The accrued warranty reserve is included within accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We do not provide any service-type warranties.
Repair and Maintenance Costs
We incur repair and maintenance costs in the normal course of business. Should the repair or maintenance result in a permanent improvement to one of our leased facilities, the cost is capitalized as a leasehold improvement and amortized over its useful life or the remainder of the lease period, whichever is shorter. Non-permanent repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Comprehensive Loss
The difference between net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) was de minimis for Fiscal 2021, Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2019.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update requires that certain financial assets be measured at amortized cost net of an allowance for estimated credit losses such that the net receivable represents the present value of expected cash collection. In addition, this standard update requires that certain financial assets be measured at amortized cost reflecting an allowance for estimated credit losses expected to occur over the life of the assets. The estimate of credit losses must be based on all relevant information including historical information, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the amounts. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, which defers the effective date of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for all entities except SEC reporting companies that are not smaller reporting companies. As a smaller reporting company, ASU 2016-13 will now be effective for our fiscal year 2024 beginning April 1, 2023; however, early adoption is permitted.
