Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MRV and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by MRV pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, (this “Form 10-Q”) should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, (the “2015 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC.

In the opinion of MRV's management, the unaudited interim financial information contained herein includes all normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of MRV as of June 30, 2016, and the results of its operations and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or any future periods.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined by management to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position and/or results of operations.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. ASU 2014-09 was originally effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) – Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted after December 15, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. Management anticipates concluding its evaluation by December 31, 2016 and plans to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern" ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 provides guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2014-15 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory" (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 simplifies the guidance on the subsequent measurement if inventory, excluding inventory measured using the last-in, first out of the retail inventory method. Under the new standard, inventory should be at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 will become effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2015-11 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU 2015-17"). The amendments in ASU 2015-17 simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current. ASU 2015-17 will become effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2015-17 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). The amendments in ASU 2016-02 require companies that lease assets to recognize on their balance sheets the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations generated by contracts longer than a year. ASU 2016-02 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be applied using the modified retrospective transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). The amendments in ASU 2016-09 simplify the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact that adopting ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Policy
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents placed with high credit quality financial institutions and accounts receivable due from customers.

Management evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. If management becomes aware of a customer's inability to meet its financial obligations after a sale has occurred, the Company records an allowance to reduce the net receivable to the amount that management reasonably believes to be collectable from the customer. If the financial conditions of MRV's customers were to deteriorate or if economic conditions worsen, additional allowances may be required in the future. Accounts receivable are charged off at the point they are considered uncollectible.
