Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Revision of Prior Interim Period Financial Statements

Revision of Prior Interim Period Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company identified errors relating to the recognition of revenue for certain services transactions and contractual arrangements during 2014. Specifically, the Company determined that certain service revenues were recorded in the incorrect periods within 2014 and that revenue for certain services transactions was recognized outside the conditions required for revenue recognition under the Company’s accounting policies. The Company determined that, under U.S. GAAP rules, $0.2 million of its first quarter revenues for 2014 should not have been recognized.

The Company assessed the effect of the revisions, individually and in the aggregate, on its prior interim periods financial statements in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletins No. 99 – Materiality and 108 – Considering the Effects of Prior Period Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. Based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company determined that its prior interim period financial statements for 2014 needed to be revised and provided such revised financial information in its 2014 Form 10-K. See Note 2 of the 2014 Form 10-K.

The first quarter 2014 numbers have been adjusted to reflect these adjustments.

Management Estimates

Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used for, but are not limited to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, impairment analysis of goodwill and intangibles including their useful lives, deferred tax assets, liabilities and valuation allowances, common stock warrant valuations, and fair value of stock options. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018 and, at that time the Company may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-15 require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). The amendments in this ASU are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company does not believe this ASU will have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
