Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Organization
 
PetMed Express, Inc. and subsidiaries, d/b/a
1
-
800
-PetMeds (the “Company”), is a leading nationwide pet pharmacy. The Company markets prescription and non-prescription pet medications, health products, and supplies for dogs and cats, direct to the consumer. The Company markets its products through national advertising campaigns, which aim to increase the recognition of the
“1
-
800
-PetMeds” brand name and “PetMeds” family of trademarks, increase traffic on its website at
www.1800petmeds.com
, acquire new customers, and maximize repeat purchases. The majority of all of the Company's sales are to residents in the United States. The Company’s corporate headquarters and distribution facility are located in Delray Beach, Florida. The Company's fiscal year end is
March 31,
and references herein to fiscal
2019,
2018,
or
2017
refer to the Company's fiscal years ended
March 31, 2019,
2018,
and
2017,
respectively.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company generates revenue by selling pet medication products and pet supplies. Certain pet supplies offered on the Company’s website are drop shipped to customers. The Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement because the Company controls the specified good before it is transferred to the customer. Revenue contracts contain
one
performance obligation, which is delivery of the product; customer care and support is deemed
not
to be a material right to the contract. The transaction price is adjusted at the date of sale for any applicable sales discounts and an estimate of product returns, which are estimated based on historical patterns; however this is
not
considered a key judgment. There are
no
amounts excluded from variable consideration. Revenue is recognized when control transfers to the customer at the point in time in which shipment of the product occurs. This key judgment is determined as the shipping point represents the point in time in which the Company has a present right to payment, title has transferred to the customer, and the customer has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership. Outbound shipping and handling fees are an accounting policy election, and are included in sales as the Company considers itself the principal in the arrangement given responsibility for supplier selection and discretion over pricing. Shipping costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are an accounting policy election and are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales.
 
The Company disaggregates revenue in the following
two
categories: (
1
) reorder revenue vs new order revenue, and (
2
) internet revenue vs contact center revenue. The following table illustrates revenue by various classifications:

The majority of the Company’s sales are paid by credit cards and the Company usually receives the cash settlement in
two
to
three
banking days. Credit card sales minimize accounts receivable balances relative to sales. The Company had
no
material contract asset or liability balances as of
March 31, 2019
and
2018.
 
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for losses that the Company estimates will arise from customers’ inability to make required payments, arising from either credit card charge-backs or insufficient funds checks. The Company determines its estimates of the uncollectibility of accounts receivable by analyzing historical bad debts and current economic trends. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately
$39,000
at
March 31, 2019
compared to
$35,000
at
March 31, 2018.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of
three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at
March 31, 2019
and
2018
consisted of the Company’s cash accounts and money market accounts with a maturity of
three
months or less. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times,
may
exceed federally insured limits. The Company has
not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories consist of prescription and non-prescription pet medications and pet supplies that are available for sale and are priced at the lower of cost or net realizable value using a weighted average cost method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence. The inventory reserve was approximately
$54,000
and
$58,000
at
March 31, 2019
and
2018,
respectively.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our building is being depreciated over a period of
thirty
years. The furniture, fixtures, equipment, and computer software are being depreciated over periods ranging from
three
to
ten
years.
 
Long-lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
may
not
be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset.
 
Intangible Assets
 
The intangible assets consist of a toll-free telephone number and an internet domain name. In accordance with the ASC Topic
350
(“
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”
) the intangible assets are
not
being amortized, and are subject to an annual review for impairment.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
 
Advertising
 
The Company's advertising expense consists primarily of Internet marketing, direct mail/print, and television advertising. Internet costs are expensed in the month incurred and direct mail/print advertising costs are expensed when the related catalogs, brochures, and postcards are produced, distributed, or superseded. Television advertising costs are expensed as the advertisements are televised.
 
Comprehensive Income
 
The Company applies ASC Topic
220
(“
Reporting Comprehensive Income”
) which requires that all items that are recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The items of other comprehensive income that are typically required to be displayed are foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities. For the fiscal years ended
March 31, 2019,
2018
and
2017
the Company had
no
unrealized gains or losses.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Topic
740
(“
Accounting for Income Taxes
”) which generally requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax benefits or consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting carrying values and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws for the taxable years in which those differences are expected to reverse. As required by “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” guidance, which clarifies ASC Topic
740,
the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than
not
sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-
not
threshold, the amount recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than
50
percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
 
The Company applies “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remains open. The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Florida and Virginia.  With few exceptions, the Company is
no
longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ending
March 31, 2013,
or earlier. Any interest and penalties related to income taxes will be recorded to other income (expenses).
 
Business Concentrations
 
The Company purchases its products from a variety of sources, including certain manufacturers, domestic distributors, and wholesalers. We have multiple suppliers for each of our products to obtain the lowest cost. There were
four
suppliers from whom we purchased approximately
50%
of all products in both fiscal
2019
and fiscal
2018.
 
Accounting for Share Based Compensation
 
The Company records compensation expense associated with restricted stock in accordance with ASC Topic
718
(
“Share Based Payment”
). The compensation expense related to all of the Company’s stock-based compensation arrangements is recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
February 2016,
the FASB issued guidance on leases which supersedes the current lease guidance. The core principle requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from nearly all leases in the statement of financial position. Accounting applied by lessors will remain largely consistent with previous guidance, additional changes set to align lessor accounting with the revised lessee model and the FASB’s revenue recognition guidance. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2018,
including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on
April 1, 2019.
The Company has very few lease arrangements. We do
not
expect the standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company does
not
believe that any other recently issued, but
not
yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
