Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization inContact, Inc. (“inContact,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) is incorporated in the state of Delaware. We provide cloud contact center software solutions through our inContact^® Customer Interaction Cloud, an advanced contact handling and performance management software application. Our services also provide a variety of connectivity options for carrying inbound calls and linking agents to our inContact applications. We provide customers the ability to monitor agent effectiveness through our user survey tools and the ability to efficiently monitor their agent needs. We are also an aggregator and provider of network connectivity services. We contract with a number of third party providers for the right to resell the various telecommunication services and products they provide, and then offer all of these services to the customers. These services and products allow customers to buy only the network connectivity services they need, combine those services in a customized enhanced contact center package, receive one bill for those services, and call a single point of contact if a service problem or billing issue arises. Proposed Merger by NICE-Systems Ltd. On May 17, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with NICE-Systems Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“Parent” or “NICE”), and Victory Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of NICE, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of NICE. In the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of our common stock will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $14.00, without interest thereon. Each outstanding and vested restricted stock unit or option to purchase Company’s common stock will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $14.00 per share less, in the case of options, the exercise price per share underlying such option. Each outstanding and unvested restricted stock unit, share or restricted stock and option to purchase Company stock or other right to purchase or receive Company stock will be converted into an option to purchase or right to purchase or receive American Depositary Shares of Parent, with the same vesting schedule of such equity award continuing after the Merger, subject to existing vesting conditions and the exercise price of options adjusted in accordance with applicable tax law. The transaction has received approval by the Company’s stockholders and is subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of the Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and provides certain circumstances as described in the Merger Agreement under which we may be required to pay NICE a termination fee of $34.1 million. See Note 8, “Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations” for discussion of the treatment of the Company’s 2.5% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 in connection with the pending acquisition of inContact by NICE. The transaction is expected to close by December 31, 2016. The pending acquisition of inContact by NICE does not impact the basis of presentation in the accompanying financial statements. Following completion of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of NICE, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from The NASDAQ Stock Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such, the Company will no longer file periodic reports with the SEC. In connection with the proposed Merger, we have incurred certain costs related to professional services, regulatory fees and employee-related expenses. Basis of Presentation These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of inContact and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such rules and regulations allow the omission of certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, so long as the statements are not misleading. In the opinion of management, these financial statements and accompanying notes contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented herein. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2016. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. Our significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and changes, if any, are included below. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when all of the following four criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the fee is fixed or determinable, (3) collection is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered. Determining whether and when some of these criteria have been satisfied often involves assumptions and judgments that can have a significant impact on the timing and amount of revenue we report. Our revenue is reported and recognized based on the type of services provided to the customer as follows: Software Revenue. Software revenue includes two main sources of revenue: (1) Software delivery and support of our inContact cloud software solutions that are provided on a monthly subscription basis and associated professional services. Because our customers purchasing software and support services on a monthly recurring basis do not have the right to take possession of the software, we consider these arrangements to be service contracts and are not within the scope of Industry Topic 985, Software. We generally bill monthly recurring subscription charges in arrears and recognize these charges in the period in which they are earned. In addition to the monthly recurring revenue, revenue is also received on a non-recurring basis for professional services or on a recurring basis related to improving a customer’s contact center efficiency and effectiveness as it relates to utilization of the inContact cloud software solutions. For subscription service contracts with multiple elements (hosted software, training, installation and long distance services), we follow the guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, Revenue Recognition for Multiple Element Arrangements. In addition to the monthly recurring subscription revenue, we also derive revenue on a non-recurring basis for professional services included in implementing or improving a customer’s inContact cloud software solutions experience. Because our professional services, such as training and implementation, are not considered to have standalone value, we defer revenue for upfront fees received for professional services in multiple element arrangements and recognize such fees as revenue over the estimated life of the customer. Fees for network connectivity services in multiple element arrangements within the inContact cloud software solutions are based on usage and recognize as revenue in the same manner as fees for telecommunication services discussed in the “Network Connectivity Services Revenue” below. (2) Perpetual product and services revenues are primarily derived from the sale of licenses to our Workforce Optimization on-premise software products and services. For software license arrangements that do not require significant modification or customization of the underlying software, revenue is recognized when all revenue recognition criteria are met. Many of our customers purchase a combination of software, service, hardware, post contract customer support (“PCS”) and hosting. For software and software related multiple element arrangements that fall within the scope of the software revenue guidance in Topic 985, Software, we allocate revenue to the delivered elements of the arrangement using the residual method, whereby revenue is allocated to the undelivered elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) of the undelivered elements with the remaining arrangement fee allocated to the delivered elements and is recognized as revenue assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met. If we are unable to establish VSOE for the undelivered elements of the arrangement, including PCS, revenue recognition is deferred for the entire arrangement until all elements of the arrangement are delivered. PCS provided to our customers includes technical software support services and unspecified software upgrades to customers on a when-and-if available basis. PCS revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the maintenance period, which is typically 15 months. When PCS is included within a multiple element arrangement, we utilize the bell-shaped curve approach to establish VSOE for the PCS. Under the bell-shaped curve approach of establishing VSOE, we perform a VSOE compliance test on a quarterly basis to ensure that a substantial majority of our actual PCS renewals are within a sufficiently narrow range. Product revenue from customers who purchase our products for resale is generally recognized when such products are released (on a “sell-through” basis). Periodically we review our reseller arrangements as our business and products change. Network Connectivity Service Revenue. Network Connectivity Services revenue is derived from network connectivity, such as dedicated transport, switched long distance and data services. These services are provided over our network or through third party network connectivity providers. Our network is the backbone of our subscription software and allows us to provide the all-in-one inContact cloud software solutions. Revenue for network connectivity usage is derived based on customer specific rate plans and the customer’s call usage and is recognized in the period the call is initiated. Customers are also billed monthly charges in arrears and revenue is recognized for such charges over the billing period. If the billing period spans more than one month, earned but unbilled revenues are recognized as revenue for incurred usage to date. Long-term Debt We record debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of our long-term borrowings, as well as costs incurred for subsequent modification of debt, incurred in connection with our long-term borrowings and credit facilities. We amortize these costs as an adjustment to interest expense over the remaining contractual life of the associated long-term borrowing or credit facility using the effective interest method for term loans and convertible debt borrowings, and the straight-line method for revolving credit facilities. When unscheduled principal payments are made, we adjust the amortization of our deferred debt-related costs to reflect the expected remaining terms of the borrowing. Operating Leases Rent expense and lease incentives, including landlord construction allowances, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, commencing generally on the date the Company takes possession of the leased property. The unamortized portion of deferred rent is included in deferred rent and lease incentive obligation. Self-Funded Health Insurance In September 2016, the Company elected to partially self-fund its health insurance plan. The Company contracts with a third-party broker to facilitate, administer the plan and obtain individual and aggregate stop-loss insurance policies. The Company estimates its exposure for claims incurred but not paid at the end of each reporting period and uses historical claims data supplied by the Company’s broker to estimate its self-funded insurance liability. To reduce its risk related to high dollar claims, the Company maintains individual and aggregate stop-loss insurance policies. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The guidance in the ASU supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and the core principle behind ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for delivering those goods and services. This model involves a five-step process that includes identifying the contract with the customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction prices to the performance obligations in the contract and recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligations. In July 2015, the FASB ratified a one-year delay in the effective date of ASU 2014-09, which makes the effective date for the Company the first quarter of 2018. The ASU allows two methods of adoption; a full retrospective approach where three years of financial information are presented in accordance with the new standard, and a modified retrospective approach where the ASU is applied to the most current period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. This update could impact the timing and amounts of revenue recognized. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendment provides clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and adds some practical expedients. We are currently evaluating which transition approach to use and assessing the impact of adopting the new revenue standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)” that amends the principal versus agent guidance in ASU 2014-09. The guidance in this ASU clarifies that the analysis must focus on whether the entity has control of the goods or services before they are transferred to the customer. Additional guidance is also provided about how to apply the control principle when services are provided and when goods or services are combined with other goods or services. The effective date for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2018. We are currently assessing the impact the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” that amends the revenue guidance in ASU 2014-09 on identifying performance obligations and accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The update allows an entity to exclude immaterial promised good and services from the assessment of performance obligations and also permits certain treatment of shipping and handling costs related to providing goods and services to a customer. Additionally, this ASU provides guidance on determining if promised goods or services are separately identifiable or whether the promise is to transfer a combined item to which promised goods and/or services are inputs. This ASU includes implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The effective date of the standard for the Company will coincide with ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities.” This pronouncement will change the income statement impact of equity investments held by an entity, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption of some provisions are permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires recognition on the balance sheet of assets and liabilities related to the rights and obligations created by leases with a term of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, the new guidance differs from current GAAP in that it requires both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. Related disclosures will include both qualitative and quantitative requirements to help investors better understand the amounts recorded in the financial statements. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The objective of this update is to simplify several aspects of accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This update adds to U.S. GAAP a current expected credit loss impairment model that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses, requiring consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. This update is also intended to reduce the complexity of U.S. GAAP by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This update requires that income tax consequences are recognized on an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The standard is effective in fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We reviewed all other recently issued accounting standards to determine their effects, if any, on the consolidated financial statements. Based on that review, we believe that none of these standards will have a significant effect on current or future results of operations.
