NOTE 2 —REVENUE RECOGNITION

Upon adoption of ASC 606 in fiscal 2019, the Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: (1) identification of the contract with a customer; (2) identification of the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determination of the transaction price; (4) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation.

The adoption of ASC 606 was applied to all contracts and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s retained earnings as the timing of Company’s revenue recognition under the new standard coincides with the way the Company previously recognized revenue. There was no impact on the opening retained earnings balance as of April 1, 2018 due to the adoption of ASC 606.

The majority of the Company’s customer contracts, which may be in the form of purchase orders, contracts or purchase agreements, contain performance obligations for delivery of agreed upon products. Delivery of all performance obligations contained within a contract with a customer typically occurs at the same time (or within the same accounting period). Transfer of control typically occurs at the time of shipment or at the time the product is pulled from consignment as that is the point at which delivery has occurred, title and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer, and the Company has a right to payment. Thus, the Company will generally recognize revenue upon shipment of the product.

Because all of the Company’s performance obligations relate to contracts with a duration of less than one year, the Company elected to apply the optional exemption practical expedient provided in ASC 606 and, therefore, is not required to disclose the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the end of the reporting period.

The Company adjusts the transaction price for variable consideration. Variable consideration is not typically significant and primarily results from stock rotation rights and quick pay discounts provided to our distributors. As a practical expedient, the Company is recognizing the incremental costs of obtaining a contract, specifically commission expenses that have a period of benefit of less than twelve months, as an expense when incurred. Additionally, the Company has adopted an accounting policy to recognize shipping costs that occur after control transfers to the customer as a fulfillment activity.

The Company’s contracts with customers do not typically include extended payment terms. Payment terms vary by contract type and type of customer and generally range from 30 to 60 days from shipment. Additionally, the Company has right to payment upon shipment.

The Company records revenue net of sales tax, value added tax, excise tax and other taxes collected concurrent with product sales. The impact of such taxes on products sales is immaterial. The Company has also elected to recognize the cost for freight and shipping when control over the products sold passes to customers and revenue is recognized.

The Company warrants its products to be free of defects generally for a period of three years. The Company estimates its warranty costs based on historical warranty claim experience and includes such costs in cost of revenues. Warranty costs and the accrued warranty liability were not material as of March 31, 2020.

The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from sales of SRAM products which represent approximately 98% of total revenues in the year ended March 31, 2020.

Nokia, the Company’s largest customer, purchases products directly from the Company and through contract manufacturers and distributors. Based on information provided to the Company by its contract manufacturers and distributors, purchases by Nokia represented approximately 38%, 45% and 36% of the Company’s net revenues in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company historically deferred recognition of revenue on shipments to its distributors under prior revenue guidance because it lacked fixed and determinable pricing for contracts in which the distributors had rights to price concessions from the Company upon shipment to the distributors’ customers. During fiscal 2018, the Company revised all of its distribution agreements to eliminate the uncertainty in pricing, allowing the Company to recognize revenue at the time of shipment to the distributors. As a result, the implementation of the new revenue guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See “Note 13 - Segment and Geographic Information” for revenue by shipment destination.
