Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation	Note 1–Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PC Connection, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Such principles were applied on a basis consistent with the accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods reported and of the Company’s financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of issuance of these financial statements. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 may not be indicative of the results expected for any succeeding quarter or the entire year ending December 31, 2020. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Adoption of Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 also clarifies the requirements for excluding and allocating foreign currency translation adjustments to reporting units related to an entity's testing of reporting units for goodwill impairment and clarifies that an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Company has adopted this standard beginning January 1, 2020 for both interim and annual reporting periods. The Company performs an annual goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of each calendar year, and more frequently if events or circumstances occur that would indicate a potential decline in fair value. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which adds an impairment model for financial instruments, including trade receivables, that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of lifetime expected losses, which is expected to result in more timely recognition of such losses. The Company adopted this new standard beginning January 1, 2020 for both interim and annual reporting periods. The impact of the adoption of this standard was limited to the Company’s trade receivables as it does not currently have any other financial instruments that would be affected by this standard. Customers are evaluated for their credit worthiness at the time of contract inception. Based on the results of the credit assessments, the Company will extend credit under its standard payment terms or may request alternative early payment actions. In addition, the Company analyzes its aged receivables for collectability at least quarterly, and if necessary, records a reserve against those receivable it determines may not be collectable. As such, the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This guidance provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. This ASU is applied prospectively and is effective immediately through December 31, 2022. The Company’s secured credit facility agreement references LIBOR, which is expected to be discontinued as a result of reference rate reform. The Company expects to adopt the guidance during the allowable time period but does not believe the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
