Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PAR Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries (ParTech, Inc., PAR Springer-Miller Systems, Inc., PAR Canada ULC, PAR Government Systems Corporation, Rome Research Corporation, Ausable Solutions, Inc., and PAR Logistics Management Systems Corporation), collectively referred to as the "Company." All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its Logistics Management business, PAR Logistics Management Systems Corporation (LMS) to ORBCOMM Inc., including but not limited to assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, intellectual property and LMS's customer contracts. As a result of the sale of this reporting unit, the Company operates with two reporting units; Hospitality and Government.  This transaction closed on January 12, 2012.  The results of operations of LMS fiscal years 2012 and 2011 have been recorded as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations.  All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  Refer to Note 2 "Discontinued Operations" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Revenue Recognition Policy

Product revenues consist of sales of the Company's standard point-of-sale and property management systems of the Hospitality segment. Product revenues include both hardware and software sales.  The Company also records service revenues relating to its standard point-of-sale and property management systems of the Hospitality segment.

Hardware

Revenue recognition on hardware sales occurs upon delivery to the customer site (or when shipped for systems that are not installed by the Company) when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Software

Revenue recognition on software sales generally occurs upon delivery to the customer site (or when shipped for systems that are not installed by the Company), when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.  For software sales where the Company is the sole party that has the proprietary knowledge to install the software, revenue is recognized upon installation and when the system is ready to go live.

Service

Service revenue consists of installation and training services, support maintenance, and field and depot repair.  Installation and training service revenue are based upon standard hourly/daily rates, and revenue is recognized as the services are performed.  Support maintenance and field and depot repair are provided to customers either on a time and materials basis or under a maintenance contract.  Services provided on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are performed.  Service revenues from maintenance contracts are recorded as deferred revenue when billed to the customer and are recognized ratably over the underlying contract period.

The individual hardware, service, and software offerings that are included in arrangements with our customers are identified and priced separately to the customer based upon the stand alone price for each individual hardware, service, or software sold in the arrangement irrespective of the combination of products and services which are included in a particular arrangement.  As such, the units of accounting are based on each individual hardware, service, and software sold, and revenue is allocated to each element based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value.  VSOE of fair value for each individual hardware, service, and software is based on separate individual prices of these products and services. The sales price used to establish fair value is the sales price of the element when it is sold individually in a separate arrangement and not as a separate element in a multiple element arrangement.  Revenue recognition for complex contractual arrangements, especially those with multiple elements, requires a significant level of judgment and is based upon review of specific contracts, past experiences, the selling price of undelivered elements when sold separately, creditworthiness of customers, international laws and other factors.

In situations where PAR's solutions contain software that is more than incidental, revenue related to software and software related elements is recognized in accordance with authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition.  For the software and software-related elements of such transactions, revenue is allocated based on the relative fair value of each element, and fair value is determined by vender specific objective evidence (VSOE).  If the Company cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in such multiple-element arrangements, the Company defers the revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements.

Government Contracts

The Company's contract revenues generated by the Government segment result primarily from contract services performed for the U.S. Government under a variety of cost-plus fixed fee, time-and-material, and fixed-price contracts.  Revenue on cost-plus fixed fee contracts is recognized based on allowable costs for labor hours delivered, as well as other allowable costs plus the applicable fee.  Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized by multiplying the number of direct labor hours delivered in the performance of the contract by the contract billing rates and adding other direct costs as incurred.  Revenue from fixed-price contracts is recognized as labor hours are delivered which approximates the straight-line basis of the life of the contract. The Company's obligation under these contracts is to provide labor hours to conduct research or to staff facilities with no other deliverables or performance obligations.  Anticipated losses on all contracts are recorded in full when identified.  Unbilled accounts receivable are stated in the Company's consolidated financial statements at their estimated realizable value.  Contract costs, including indirect expenses, are subject to audit and adjustment through negotiations between the Company and U.S. Government representatives.

Statement of cash flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments, purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable – Allowance for doubtful accounts

Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on estimates of probable losses related to accounts receivable balances.  The establishment of allowances requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding probable losses on receivable balances.

Inventories

The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  The Company uses certain estimates and judgments and considers several factors including product demand, changes in customer requirements and changes in technology to provide for excess and obsolescence reserves to properly value inventory.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to twenty-five years.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Other assets

Other assets consist of cash surrender value of life insurance related to the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan.

Income taxes

The provision for income taxes is based upon pretax earnings with deferred income taxes provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities.  The Company records a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to their net realizable amounts.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Other long-term liabilities

Other long-term liabilities represent amounts owed to certain employees who are participants in the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan.

Foreign currency

The assets and liabilities for the Company's international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates. Income statement items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity under the heading Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.  Exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are also recorded as a translation adjustment and are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income in the accompanying statements of operations.

Other income

The components of other income for the three years ending December 31 are as follows:

	Year ended December 31
	(in thousands)
	2012		2011
Foreign currency gains / (loss)	$	186	$	(454	)
Rental income-net		174		191
Other		516		466
	$	876	$	203

Identifiable intangible assets

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of computer software sold by its Hospitality segment. Software development costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are charged to operations and included in research and development costs.  Software development costs incurred after establishing feasibility (as defined within ASC 985-20) are capitalized and amortized on a product-by-product basis when the product is available for general release to customers.  Annual amortization, charged to cost of sales when the product is available for general release to customers, is computed using the greater of (a) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally three to seven years or (b) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product.  Amortization of capitalized software costs amounted to $6.8 million and $465,000, in 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The increase in 2012 was primarily the result of accelerated amortization of $5.3 million to reduce the net carrying value of a specific capitalized software asset in conjunction with the Company's strategic initiative to streamline its Hospitality product portfolio.  During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company reviewed its product portfolio and determined it appropriate to cease future development associated with this specific asset.

The Company acquired identifiable intangible assets in connection with its acquisitions in prior years.  Amortization of identifiable intangible assets amounted to $455,000 in 2012 and $840,000 in 2011.

The components of identifiable intangible assets, including capitalized internal software development costs are:

	December 31,
	(in thousands)
	2012			2011
Acquired and internally developed software costs	$	11,988		$	17,902

2014		1,521
2015		1,421
2016		1,393
2017		1,368
Thereafter		2,717
	$	9,947

The Company has elected to test for impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.  To value the indefinite lived intangible assets, the Company utilizes the royalty method to estimate the fair values.  In conjunction with this testing, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $300,000 for the period ending December 31, 2012.

In conjunction with quarterly financial close process for the second quarter of 2011, the Company reevaluated its indefinite lived intangibles and determined that two of its trade names within its Hospitality segment should no longer be considered to have indefinite lives.  As a result of this determination, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $580,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

There was no additional impairment of identifiable intangible assets in 2012 or 2011 other than as noted above.

Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes all stock-based compensation to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock awards, in the financial statements as compensation cost over the vesting period using an accelerated expense recognition method, based on their fair value on the date of grant.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding for the basic and diluted earnings per share computations (in thousands, except share and per share data):

	December 31,
	2012			2011
Loss from continuing operations	$	(1,762	)	$	(13,360	)
Basic:
Shares outstanding at beginning of year		15,051			14,909
Weighted shares issued during the year		64			91
Weighted average common shares, basic		15,115			15,000
Loss from continuing operations per  common share, basic	$	(0.12	)	$	(0.89	)
Diluted:
Weighted average common shares, basic		15,115			15,000
Weighted average shares issued during the year		-			-
Dilutive impact of stock options and restricted stock awards		-			-
Weighted average common shares, diluted		15,115			15,000
Loss from continuing operations per  common share, diluted	$	(0.12	)	$	(0.89	)

At December 31, 2012, there were 5,000 of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and 31,000 restricted stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because of the anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share. At December 31, 2011, there were 22,000 of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options and 27,000 restricted stock awards were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because of the anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.  The Company operates in two business segments, Hospitality and Government.  Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the sub-segment level (referred to as a reporting unit).  The three reporting units utilized by the Company are: Restaurant, Hotel/Resort/Spa, and Government. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or organically grown, are available to support the value of the goodwill.  The amount outstanding for goodwill was $6.9 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

There was no impairment of goodwill in 2012.  During the second quarter of 2011, the Company determined that as a result of the decline in the stock price that occurred during the second quarter, a goodwill impairment triggering event had occurred.  The fair value of the Company's common shares declined from $4.60 per share at April 1, 2011 to $3.83 per share at June 30, 2011, resulting in the Company no longer being able to reconcile the aggregate fair value of its reporting units to its market capitalization after consideration of a reasonable control premium.  Although there was no significant adverse change to the long term financial outlook of any of its businesses, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred and as a result, performed additional analyses over the valuation of its reporting units in accordance with the relevant accounting rules, recording a non-cash impairment charge of $20.2 million to its goodwill in the second quarter of 2011.

The changes and carrying amounts of goodwill by reporting unit were as follows (in thousands):

	Restaurants			Hotel/Resort/Spa			Government		Total
Net Balances at December 31, 2010:	$	12,272		$	13,946		$	736	$	26,954

The Company evaluates the accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed.  The Company will recognize impairment of long-lived assets or asset groups if the net book value of such assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets.  If the carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset or asset group for assets to be held and used, or the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value less cost to sell for assets to be sold.  No impairment was identified during 2012 or 2011.

Reclassifications

Amounts in prior years' consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year's presentation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.  Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, and valuation allowances for receivables, inventories and deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The current economic conditions and the continued volatility in the U.S. and in many other countries where the Company operates could contribute to decreased consumer confidence and continued economic uncertainty which may adversely impact the Company's operating performance.  Although the Company has seen an improvement in the markets which it serves, the continued volatility in these markets could have an impact on purchases of the Company's products, which could result in a reduction of sales, operating income and cash flows. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations and could have a material adverse impact on the Company's significant estimates discussed above, specifically the fair value of the Company's reporting units used in support of its annual goodwill impairment test.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On July 27, 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment ("ASU 2012-02"). ASU 2012-02 is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing by providing entities an option to perform a "qualitative" assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. As such, there is the possibility that quantitative assessments would not need to be performed if it is more likely than not that no impairment exists. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of ASU 2012-02, which is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends FASB Topic ASC 350, Intangible Assets-Goodwill and Other. Under ASU No. 2011-08, an entity may elect the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the first step in the two-step impairment testing process. ASU No. 2011-08 was effective on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendment to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements, in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which amends FASB Topic ASC 820, Fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 modifies the existing standard to include disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 asset and liability fair value categories. In addition, ASU No. 2011-04 provides guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio and the application of premiums and discounts on fair value measurements. ASU No. 2011-04 requires additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. ASU No. 2011-04 was effective on January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Employee Benefit Plans [Abstract]

Employee Benefit Plans

Note 9 — Employee Benefit Plans

The Company has a deferred profit-sharing retirement plan that covers substantially all employees. The Company's annual contribution to the plan is discretionary. The Company's contribution to the plan was $100,000 in 2012 and $626,000 in 2011.  The plan also contains a 401(k) provision that allows employees to contribute a percentage of their salary up to the statutory limitation.  These contributions are matched at the rate of 10% by the Company. The Company's matching contributions under the 401(k) component were $349,000 and $352,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company also maintains an incentive-compensation plan. Participants in the plan are key employees as determined by the Board of Directors and executive management. Compensation under the plan is based on the achievement of predetermined financial performance goals of the Company and its subsidiaries.  Awards under the plan are payable in cash.  Awards under the plan totaled $521,000 and $558,000, in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company also sponsors a Deferred Compensation Plan for a select group of highly compensated employees that includes the Executive Officers.  Participants may make elective deferrals of their salary to the plan in excess of tax code limitations that apply to the Company's qualified plan.  The Company invests the participants' deferred amounts to fund these obligations.  The Company also has the sole discretion to make employer contributions to the plan on behalf of the participants, though it did not make any employer contributions in 2012 or 2011.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of consolidation

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PAR Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries (ParTech, Inc., PAR Springer-Miller Systems, Inc., PAR Canada ULC, PAR Government Systems Corporation, Rome Research Corporation, Ausable Solutions, Inc., and PAR Logistics Management Systems Corporation), collectively referred to as the "Company." All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the assets of its Logistics Management business, PAR Logistics Management Systems Corporation (LMS) to ORBCOMM Inc., including but not limited to assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, intellectual property and LMS's customer contracts. As a result of the sale of this reporting unit, the Company operates with two reporting units; Hospitality and Government.  This transaction closed on January 12, 2012.  The results of operations of LMS fiscal years 2012 and 2011 have been recorded as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations.  All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  Refer to Note 2 "Discontinued Operations" in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Revenue recognition

Revenue Recognition Policy

Product revenues consist of sales of the Company's standard point-of-sale and property management systems of the Hospitality segment. Product revenues include both hardware and software sales.  The Company also records service revenues relating to its standard point-of-sale and property management systems of the Hospitality segment.

Hardware

Revenue recognition on hardware sales occurs upon delivery to the customer site (or when shipped for systems that are not installed by the Company) when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

Software

Revenue recognition on software sales generally occurs upon delivery to the customer site (or when shipped for systems that are not installed by the Company), when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.  For software sales where the Company is the sole party that has the proprietary knowledge to install the software, revenue is recognized upon installation and when the system is ready to go live.

Service

Service revenue consists of installation and training services, support maintenance, and field and depot repair.  Installation and training service revenue are based upon standard hourly/daily rates, and revenue is recognized as the services are performed.  Support maintenance and field and depot repair are provided to customers either on a time and materials basis or under a maintenance contract.  Services provided on a time and materials basis are recognized as the services are performed.  Service revenues from maintenance contracts are recorded as deferred revenue when billed to the customer and are recognized ratably over the underlying contract period.

The individual hardware, service, and software offerings that are included in arrangements with our customers are identified and priced separately to the customer based upon the stand alone price for each individual hardware, service, or software sold in the arrangement irrespective of the combination of products and services which are included in a particular arrangement.  As such, the units of accounting are based on each individual hardware, service, and software sold, and revenue is allocated to each element based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value.  VSOE of fair value for each individual hardware, service, and software is based on separate individual prices of these products and services. The sales price used to establish fair value is the sales price of the element when it is sold individually in a separate arrangement and not as a separate element in a multiple element arrangement.  Revenue recognition for complex contractual arrangements, especially those with multiple elements, requires a significant level of judgment and is based upon review of specific contracts, past experiences, the selling price of undelivered elements when sold separately, creditworthiness of customers, international laws and other factors.

In situations where PAR's solutions contain software that is more than incidental, revenue related to software and software related elements is recognized in accordance with authoritative guidance on software revenue recognition.  For the software and software-related elements of such transactions, revenue is allocated based on the relative fair value of each element, and fair value is determined by vender specific objective evidence (VSOE).  If the Company cannot objectively determine the fair value of any undelivered element included in such multiple-element arrangements, the Company defers the revenue until all elements are delivered and services have been performed, or until fair value can objectively be determined for any remaining undelivered elements.

Government Contracts

The Company's contract revenues generated by the Government segment result primarily from contract services performed for the U.S. Government under a variety of cost-plus fixed fee, time-and-material, and fixed-price contracts.  Revenue on cost-plus fixed fee contracts is recognized based on allowable costs for labor hours delivered, as well as other allowable costs plus the applicable fee.  Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized by multiplying the number of direct labor hours delivered in the performance of the contract by the contract billing rates and adding other direct costs as incurred.  Revenue from fixed-price contracts is recognized as labor hours are delivered which approximates the straight-line basis of the life of the contract. The Company's obligation under these contracts is to provide labor hours to conduct research or to staff facilities with no other deliverables or performance obligations.  Anticipated losses on all contracts are recorded in full when identified.  Unbilled accounts receivable are stated in the Company's consolidated financial statements at their estimated realizable value.  Contract costs, including indirect expenses, are subject to audit and adjustment through negotiations between the Company and U.S. Government representatives.

Statement of cash flows

Statement of cash flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments, purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable – Allowance for doubtful accounts

Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on estimates of probable losses related to accounts receivable balances.  The establishment of allowances requires the use of judgment and assumptions regarding probable losses on receivable balances.

Inventories

Inventories

The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  The Company uses certain estimates and judgments and considers several factors including product demand, changes in customer requirements and changes in technology to provide for excess and obsolescence reserves to properly value inventory.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to twenty-five years.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Other assets

Other assets

Other assets consist of cash surrender value of life insurance related to the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan.

Income taxes

Income taxes

The provision for income taxes is based upon pretax earnings with deferred income taxes provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities.  The Company records a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to their net realizable amounts.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Other long-term liabilities

Other long-term liabilities

Other long-term liabilities represent amounts owed to certain employees who are participants in the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan.

Foreign currency

Foreign currency

The assets and liabilities for the Company's international operations are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates. Income statement items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity under the heading Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.  Exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are also recorded as a translation adjustment and are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).  Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recorded in other income in the accompanying statements of operations.

Other Income [Text Block]

The components of other income for the three years ending December 31 are as follows:

Identifiable intangible assets

Identifiable intangible assets

The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of computer software sold by its Hospitality segment. Software development costs incurred prior to establishing technological feasibility are charged to operations and included in research and development costs.  Software development costs incurred after establishing feasibility (as defined within ASC 985-20) are capitalized and amortized on a product-by-product basis when the product is available for general release to customers.  Annual amortization, charged to cost of sales when the product is available for general release to customers, is computed using the greater of (a) the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product, generally three to seven years or (b) the ratio that current gross revenues for a product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product.  Amortization of capitalized software costs amounted to $6.8 million and $465,000, in 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The increase in 2012 was primarily the result of accelerated amortization of $5.3 million to reduce the net carrying value of a specific capitalized software asset in conjunction with the Company's strategic initiative to streamline its Hospitality product portfolio.  During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company reviewed its product portfolio and determined it appropriate to cease future development associated with this specific asset.

The Company acquired identifiable intangible assets in connection with its acquisitions in prior years.  Amortization of identifiable intangible assets amounted to $455,000 in 2012 and $840,000 in 2011.

The components of identifiable intangible assets, including capitalized internal software development costs are:

	$	9,947

The Company has elected to test for impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year.  To value the indefinite lived intangible assets, the Company utilizes the royalty method to estimate the fair values.  In conjunction with this testing, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $300,000 for the period ending December 31, 2012.

In conjunction with quarterly financial close process for the second quarter of 2011, the Company reevaluated its indefinite lived intangibles and determined that two of its trade names within its Hospitality segment should no longer be considered to have indefinite lives.  As a result of this determination, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $580,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

There was no additional impairment of identifiable intangible assets in 2012 or 2011 other than as noted above.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation

The Company recognizes all stock-based compensation to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock awards, in the financial statements as compensation cost over the vesting period using an accelerated expense recognition method, based on their fair value on the date of grant.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options and restricted stock awards.

The following is a reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding for the basic and diluted earnings per share computations (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Goodwill

Goodwill

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment.  The Company operates in two business segments, Hospitality and Government.  Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the sub-segment level (referred to as a reporting unit).  The three reporting units utilized by the Company are: Restaurant, Hotel/Resort/Spa, and Government. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units at the date the goodwill is initially recorded. Once goodwill has been assigned to reporting units, it no longer retains its association with a particular acquisition, and all of the activities within a reporting unit, whether acquired or organically grown, are available to support the value of the goodwill.  The amount outstanding for goodwill was $6.9 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

There was no impairment of goodwill in 2012.  During the second quarter of 2011, the Company determined that as a result of the decline in the stock price that occurred during the second quarter, a goodwill impairment triggering event had occurred.  The fair value of the Company's common shares declined from $4.60 per share at April 1, 2011 to $3.83 per share at June 30, 2011, resulting in the Company no longer being able to reconcile the aggregate fair value of its reporting units to its market capitalization after consideration of a reasonable control premium.  Although there was no significant adverse change to the long term financial outlook of any of its businesses, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred and as a result, performed additional analyses over the valuation of its reporting units in accordance with the relevant accounting rules, recording a non-cash impairment charge of $20.2 million to its goodwill in the second quarter of 2011.

The changes and carrying amounts of goodwill by reporting unit were as follows (in thousands):

Accounting for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets

Accounting for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates the accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed.  The Company will recognize impairment of long-lived assets or asset groups if the net book value of such assets exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets.  If the carrying value of a long-lived asset or asset group is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived asset or asset group for assets to be held and used, or the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair market value less cost to sell for assets to be sold.  No impairment was identified during 2012 or 2011.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Amounts in prior years' consolidated financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current year's presentation.

Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.  Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and goodwill, and valuation allowances for receivables, inventories and deferred income tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The current economic conditions and the continued volatility in the U.S. and in many other countries where the Company operates could contribute to decreased consumer confidence and continued economic uncertainty which may adversely impact the Company's operating performance.  Although the Company has seen an improvement in the markets which it serves, the continued volatility in these markets could have an impact on purchases of the Company's products, which could result in a reduction of sales, operating income and cash flows. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and/or results of operations and could have a material adverse impact on the Company's significant estimates discussed above, specifically the fair value of the Company's reporting units used in support of its annual goodwill impairment test.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On July 27, 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment ("ASU 2012-02"). ASU 2012-02 is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing by providing entities an option to perform a "qualitative" assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. As such, there is the possibility that quantitative assessments would not need to be performed if it is more likely than not that no impairment exists. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of ASU 2012-02, which is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amends FASB Topic ASC 350, Intangible Assets-Goodwill and Other. Under ASU No. 2011-08, an entity may elect the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the first step in the two-step impairment testing process. ASU No. 2011-08 was effective on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-08 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendment to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements, in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which amends FASB Topic ASC 820, Fair value measurement. ASU No. 2011-04 modifies the existing standard to include disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 asset and liability fair value categories. In addition, ASU No. 2011-04 provides guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio and the application of premiums and discounts on fair value measurements. ASU No. 2011-04 requires additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. ASU No. 2011-04 was effective on January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Stock Based Compensation

Stock Based Compensation [Abstract]

Stock Based Compensation

Note 7 — Stock Based Compensation

The Company recognizes all stock-based compensation to employees, including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock awards, in the financial statements as compensation cost over the vesting period based on their fair value on the date of grant.  Total stock-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expense in 2012 and 2011 was $649,000, and $595,000, respectively.  This amount includes $302,000 and $350,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively, relating to restricted stock awards.  No compensation expense has been capitalized during 2012 and 2011.

The Company has reserved 2,250,000 shares under its 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (EIP).  Stock options under this Plan may be incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. The Plan also provides for restricted stock awards, including performance based awards.  Stock options are nontransferable other than upon death.  Option grants generally vest over a one to five year period after the grant and typically expire ten years after the date of the grant. The EIP provides for the grant of several different forms of stock-based compensation, including stock options to purchase shares of PAR common stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (Compensation Committee) has discretion to determine the material terms and conditions of option awards under the EIP, provided that (i) the exercise price must be no less than the fair market value of PAR common stock (defined as the closing price) on the date of grant, (ii) the term must be no longer than ten years, and (iii) in no event shall the normal vesting schedule provide for vesting in less than one year. Other terms and conditions of an award of stock options will be determined by the Compensation Committee as set forth in the agreement relating to that award. The Compensation Committee has authority to administer the EIP.

Information with respect to stock options included within this plan is as follows:

	No. of Shares (in thousands)			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		757		$	5.47	$	38
Options granted		104			4.91
Exercised		(14	)		1.72
Forfeited and cancelled		(130	)		5.74
Outstanding at December 31, 2012		717		$	5.37	$	116
Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2012		704		$	5.38	$	113
Total shares exercisable as of December 31, 2012		327		$	6.02	$	50
Shares remaining available for grant		1,277

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the years 2012 and 2011 was $2.04 and $2.32, respectively.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $31,000 and $236,000, respectively.  New shares of the Company's common stock are issued as a result of stock option exercises.  The fair value of options at the date of the grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions for the respective period ending December 31:

	2012			2011
Expected option life	5.5 years			5.5 years
Weighted average risk-free interest rate		0.9	%		2.1	%
Weighted average expected volatility		45	%		53	%
Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the expected option life was based on the Company's historical experience with similar type options.  Expected volatility is based on historical volatility levels of the Company's common stock over the preceding period of time consistent with the expected life.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life.  Stock options outstanding at December 31, 2012 are summarized as follows:

Range of Exercise Prices	Number Outstanding (in thousands)	Weighted Average Remaining Life	Weighted Average Exercise Price
$3.22 - $4.81	466	7.9 Years	$4.67
$4.88 - $6.01	155	4.3 Years	$5.62
$6.25 - $11.40	96	4.5 Years	$8.41
$3.22 - $11.40	717	6.7 Years	$5.37

At December 31, 2012 the aggregate unrecognized compensation cost of unvested equity awards, as determined using a Black-Scholes option valuation model, was $432,000 (net of estimated forfeitures) which is expected to be recognized as compensation expense in fiscal years 2013 through 2016.

Current year activity with respect to the Company's non-vested restricted stock awards is as follows:

Non-vested shares (in thousands)	Shares			Weighted Average grant-date fair value
Balance at January 1, 2012		101		$	3.88
Granted		183			4.86
Vested		(87	)		5.18
Forfeited and cancelled		(23	)		4.78
Balance at December 31, 2012		174		$	4.68

The EIP also provides for the issuance of restricted stock, as well as restricted stock units.  These types of awards can have either service based or performance based vesting with performance goals being established by the Compensation Committee.  Grants of restricted stock with service based vesting are subject to vesting periods ranging from zero to 60 months.  Grants of restricted stock with performance based vesting are subject to a vesting period of 48 months and performance conditions measured by cumulative dilutive earnings per share targets (as defined by the Compensation Committee).  The Company assesses the likelihood of achievement throughout the performance period and recognizes compensation expense associated with its performance awards based on this assessment.  Other terms and conditions applicable to any award of restricted stock will be determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the agreement relating to that award.

During 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 183,000 and 40,000 restricted stock awards, respectively, at a per share price of $.02.  Included within the total awards granted during 2012 were 121,000 of performance based restricted stock awards.  During fiscal year 2012, the Company has not recognized any compensation expense associated with its performance based awards as the achievement of the performance target was deemed not probable in the current period.

The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the average price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant.  The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock awards granted during the years 2012 and 2011 was $4.86 and $4.08, respectively.  In accordance with the terms of the restricted stock award agreements, the Company released 87,000 and 64,000 shares during 2012 and 2011, respectively.  During the year, there were 23,000 shares of restricted stock cancelled, all of which were performance based restricted shares.  No restricted stock awards were cancelled during 2011.

Debt

Note 6 — Debt

The Company maintains a credit facility which provides borrowing availability up to $20 million (with the option to increase to $30 million) in the form of a line of credit.  This agreement allows the Company, at its option, to borrow funds at the LIBOR rate plus the applicable interest rate spread or at the bank's prime lending rate (3.25% at December 31, 2012).  This agreement expires in June 2014.  At December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any outstanding balance on this line of credit.  The weighted average interest rate paid by the Company was 1.31% during fiscal year 2012.  This agreement contains certain loan covenants including leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios.  In February 2013, the agreement was amended to allow the Company to exclude certain extraordinary or non-recurring non-cash expenses, charges or losses, and certain litigation expenses incurred during the fourth quarter of 2012.  The exclusion of these charges will be applied to the Company's debt covenant calculation through December 31, 2013.  Additionally, as part of this amendment, the Company modified its definition of Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), to exclude non-cash charges for the remainder of the agreement.  This credit facility is secured by certain assets of the Company.

The Company has a $1.2 million mortgage loan, collateralized by certain real estate.  This mortgage matures on November 1, 2019.  In May 2012, the Company amended its mortgage to reduce the fixed interest rate to 4.05% through October 1, 2014.  Beginning on October 1, 2014 and through the maturity date of the loan, the fixed rate will be converted to a new rate equal to the then-current five year fixed advanced rate charged by the New York Federal Home Loan bank, plus 225 basis points.  The annual mortgage payment including interest through October 1, 2014 totals $207,000.

The Company has Federal tax credit carryforwards of $3.7 million that expire in various tax years from 2014 to 2026.  The Company has a Federal operating loss carryforward of $21.1 million that expires in various tax years through 2031.  Of the operating loss carryforward, $1.5 million will result in a benefit within additional paid in capital when realized.  The Company also has state tax credit carryforwards of $331,000 and state net operating loss carryforwards of $13.0 million which expire in various tax years through 2030.  In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  As a result of this analysis and based on the current year's taxable loss, management determined that it is more likely than not that the future benefit associated with the foreign tax credit carryforwards and certain state tax credits and loss carryforwards will not be realized.  As a result, the Company recorded tax expense associated with an additional deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $44,000 and $655,000 for 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Company records the benefits relating to uncertain tax positions only when it is more likely than not (likelihood of greater than 50%), based on technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured using a probability-weighted approach as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.   At December 31, 2012, the Company's reserve for uncertain tax positions is not material and the Company believes it has adequately provided for its tax-related liabilities.  The Company is no longer subject to United States federal income tax examinations for years before 2008.  The provision (benefit) for income taxes differed from the provision computed by applying the Federal statutory rate to income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes due to the following:

Discontinued Operations

Note 2 — Discontinued Operations

On January 12, 2012, PAR Technology Corporation completed its previously announced sale of substantially all of the assets of the PAR Logistics Management Systems Corporation (LMS) to ORBCOMM Inc. ("ORBCOMM").

The consideration payable by ORBCOMM at the closing with respect to substantially all the assets of LMS aggregates $6,123,000 comprised of $4,000,000 in cash and $2,123,000 in shares of common stock of ORBCOMM Inc. (the Closing Consideration).  Of the equity consideration, $1,274,000 (based on the fair value as of the date of closing) was held in escrow to settle future claims, with release date of August 2012 and April 2013.  During the second quarter of 2012, the Company liquidated its common stock investment of ORBCOMM Inc. which resulted in it recording a realized loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $210,000.  The Company recorded its loss on liquidation of its investment within other income (expense), net, on its Consolidated Statement of Operations.  Of the total proceeds, $828,000 remains in escrow to be released in 2013.

In addition to the Closing Consideration, contingent consideration of up to $3,950,000 is payable by ORBCOMM to PAR post-closing in cash, ORBCOMM common stock or a combination of cash and ORBCOMM common stock, at ORBCOMM's option.  Up to $3,000,000 of the contingent consideration will be payable based on ORBCOMM achieving certain agreed-upon new subscriber targets for calendar year 2012 and up to $950,000 of the contingent consideration will be payable based on ORBCOMM achieving agreed-upon sales targets for calendar years 2012 through 2014.

If paid in stock, the number of ORBCOMM shares to be issued to PAR will be based upon the average 20-day closing price of ORBCOMM common stock prior to the payment due date for such contingent consideration.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not recorded any amount associated with this contingent consideration as it does not believe achievement of the related targets is probable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Note 12 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments have been recorded at fair value using available market information and valuation techniques.  The fair value hierarchy is based upon three levels of input, which are:

Level 1 − quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (observable)

Level 2 − inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable market data for essentially the full term of the asset or liability (observable)

Level 3 − unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, but are significant to determining the fair value of the asset or liability (unobservable)

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and debt instruments. For cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables, the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 were considered representative of their fair values.  The estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was based on variable and fixed interest rates at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for new issues with similar remaining maturities and approximates the respective carrying values at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The deferred compensation assets and liabilities primarily relate to the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan, which allows for pre-tax salary deferrals for certain key employees (see note 9). Changes in the fair value of the deferred compensation liabilities are derived using quoted prices in active markets of the asset selections made by the participants. The deferred compensation liabilities are classified within Level 2, as defined under U.S. GAAP, because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments. The Company holds insurance investments to partially offset the Company's liabilities under the Deferred Compensation Plan, which are recorded at fair value each period using the cash surrender value of the insurance investments.
