Accounting Policies [Abstract]

INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements include the accounts of Direct Insite. The condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2016, and the statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have not been audited.  These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  The December 31, 2015 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.  These interim condensed financial statements include all adjustments which management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements and consist of normal recurring items.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2016.

USE OF ESTIMATES

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  The most significant estimates are used in the accounting related to stock based compensation, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and capitalized internally developed software.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company records revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”), and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.  Revenue is recognized when it is both earned and realizable, that is, when the following criteria are met:

● persuasive evidence of arrangements exist;

● delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

● the seller’s price is fixed and determinable; and

● collectability is reasonably assured.

The following are the specific revenue recognition policies for each major category of revenue.

Recurring (Ongoing Services)

The Company provides transactional data processing services through its SaaS software solutions to its customers.  The customer is charged a monthly fixed rate on a per transaction basis or a fixed fee based on monthly transaction volumes.  Revenue is recognized as the services are provided.

Non-Recurring (Professional Services)

The Company provides non-recurring engineering services to its customers, which may include initial or additional development, modification, and customization services to the Company’s software platform.  Such services are billed based on: (i) hourly rates; or (ii) milestone billings.  For hourly billed services, revenue is recognized when work is performed.  For milestone billed services, revenue is recognized when the project milestone has been accepted by the customer.  The Company does not sell software licenses, upgrades or enhancements, or post-contract customer services.

INTERNALLY DEVELOPED SOFTWARE

The Company released the first phase of PAYBOX®, a next generation version of its accounts receivable platform in November 2014.  It was designed for a global bank and is available to all Order-to-Cash process customers.  According to ASC 350-40, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software, the Company is able to capitalize the costs associated with the application development stage of a project.  The Company started amortizing capitalized costs when the software was ready for use and placed in service in November 2014.  The capitalized costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated five year useful life of the software.  As additional functionality is added, costs incurred are capitalized in accordance with professional standards.  Precontract software development costs are generally charged to operating costs and expenses as incurred, however, in accordance with professional standards the Company defers precontract costs when such costs are directly associated with specific anticipated contracts for which recovery is probable.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.  This method requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates.  Additionally, net deferred tax assets are adjusted by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.  In addition, the Company expects to provide a valuation allowance on the remaining future tax benefits until it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to utilize the remaining assets, or other significant positive evidence arises that suggests its ability to utilize the remaining assets.  The future realization of a portion of its reserved deferred tax assets related to tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options, if and when realized, will not result in a tax benefit in the statement of income, but rather will result in an increase in additional paid-in capital. The Company will continue to re-assess its reserves on deferred income tax assets in future periods on a quarterly basis.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company displays earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”).  ASC 260 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”).  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share includes the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (in thousands):

	For the three months ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Basic weighted average shares outstanding……...		12,928		12,792
Restricted stock grants		-		10
Weighted average shares outstanding-diluted		12,928		12,802

The weighted average securities that could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented, consists of the following (in thousands):

	For the three months ended March 31,
	2016		2015
Options to purchase common stock		563		629
Restricted stock grants		225		14
Potential anti-dilutive common stock		788		643

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.  The Company has cash deposits in excess of the maximum amounts insured by the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers.  Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable and revenue are disclosed in Note 9.

RECENTLY ISSUED AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. The new guidance requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, allows an employer to repurchase more of an employee’s shares than previously allowed for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting, allows a company to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur, and eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. The new guidance also requires excess tax benefits and tax shortfalls to be presented on the cash flow statement as an operating activity rather than as a financing activity, and clarifies that cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation are to be presented as a financing activity. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to adopt this standard early and applied it as of January 1, 2016, with no significant impact on our financial statements.
