Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Company’s significant accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, filed on July 3, 2013. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, filed on July 3, 2013. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, accrued liabilities, useful lives of property and equipment and capitalized software development costs, among others. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from the estimates made by management with respect to these items. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification for interim financial information and Article 10 of Regulation S-X issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual fiscal reporting periods. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows. The results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2014 or any other period. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, and trade receivables. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are placed with high-credit-quality financial institutions and issuers, and at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any loss relating to cash and cash equivalents in these accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable balances, performs periodic credit evaluations of its clients and generally does not require collateral of its customers. No single client accounted for 10% or more of accounts receivable as of July 31, 2013. No single client accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for the three months ended July 31, 2013 or 2012.   Revenue Recognition In general, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenue primarily from sales of the following services, Software as a Service (“SaaS”) The Company generates SaaS revenue principally from the sale of subscriptions to its hosted social commerce platform and sells its application services pursuant to service agreements that are generally one year in length. The client does not have the right to take possession of the software supporting the application service at any time, nor do the arrangements contain general rights of return. The Company accounts for these arrangements by recognizing the arrangement consideration for the application service ratably over the term of the related agreement, commencing upon the later of the agreement start date or when all revenue recognition criteria have been met. Media Media revenue consists primarily of fees charged to advertisers when their advertisements are displayed on websites owned by various third-parties (“Publishers”). The Company has revenue sharing agreements with these Publishers. The Company receives a fee from the advertisers and pays the Publishers based on their contractual revenue-share. Media revenues earned from the advertisers are recognized on a net basis as the Company has determined that it is acting as an agent in these transactions. The Company’s agreements do not currently combine SaaS and Media services. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue consists of billings or payments in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as revenue recognition criteria are met. The Company invoices clients in a variety of installments and, consequently, the deferred revenue balance does not represent the total contract value of its non-cancelable subscription agreements. Deferred revenue that will be recognized during the succeeding 12 month period is recorded as current deferred revenue and the remaining portion is recorded as non-current deferred revenue. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments acquired with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase and readily convertible to known amounts of cash to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with banks in demand deposit accounts. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, because of the short maturity of these instruments. Short-term Investments Short-term investments consist of U.S. treasury securities and agency securities that are a guaranteed obligation of the U.S. Government and are classified as available-for-sale securities. The Company may or may not hold securities with stated maturities greater than one year until maturity. After consideration of its risks versus reward objectives, as well as its liquidity requirements, the Company may sell these securities prior to their stated maturities. As the Company views these securities as available to support current operations, it has classified all available-for-sale securities as short-term. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. For the periods presented, realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments were not material. An impairment charge is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for declines in fair value below the cost of an individual investment that are deemed to be other-than-temporary. The Company assesses whether a decline in value is temporary based on the length of time that the fair market value has been below cost, the severity of the decline, as well as the intent and ability to hold, or plans to sell, the investment. There have been no impairment charges recognized related to short-term investments for the three months ended July 31, 2013 or 2012. Restricted Cash The Company’s restricted cash consists of a standby letter of credit under its Pledge and Security Agreement for corporate credit card services, secured by its money market account. (See Note 7)   Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company applies the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities. The guidance defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures surrounding fair value calculations. The guidance establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible by the Company. Level 2: Inputs that are observable in the marketplace other than those inputs classified as Level 1. Level 3: Inputs that are unobservable in the marketplace which require the Company to develop its own assumptions. Derivative Financial Instruments As a result of the Company’s international operations, it is exposed to various market risks that may affect its consolidated results of operations, cash flows and financial position. These market risks include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in currency exchange rates. The Company’s primary foreign currency exposures are in Euros and British Pound Sterling. The Company faces exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates as the financial results of certain of its operations are translated from local currency into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. Additionally, foreign exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency result in gains and losses that are reflected in income. The Company may enter into derivative instruments to hedge certain net exposures of non-U.S. dollar-denominated assets and liabilities, even though it does not elect to apply hedge accounting or hedge accounting does not apply. Gains and losses resulting from a change in fair value of these derivatives are reflected in income in the period in which the change occurs and are recognized on the consolidated statement of operations in other income (expense). Cash flows from these contracts are classified within net cash used in operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value, and its derivative instruments are generally short-term in duration. Derivative contracts were not material as of July 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013. The Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts may fail to meet their contractual obligations. Property, Equipment and Capitalized Internal-Use Software Development Costs Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="68%" align="center"> <tr> <td width="46%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="4%"></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Computer equipment </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">3 years</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Furniture and fixtures </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">5 years</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Office equipment </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">5 years</td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Software </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">3 years</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> Leasehold improvements </td> <td valign="bottom">  </td> <td valign="bottom">Shorter of estimated useful life or the lease term</td> </tr> </table> When depreciable assets are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. Any gain or loss is included in other income (expense), net in the Company’s statement of operations. Major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs which do not materially improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to operating expenses as incurred. The Company capitalizes certain development costs incurred in connection with its internal-use software. These capitalized costs are primarily related to its proprietary social commerce platform that is hosted by the Company and accessed by its clients on a subscription basis. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, direct internal and external costs are capitalized until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internal-use software development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, generally three years, into cost of revenue. Goodwill, Intangible Assets, Long-Lived Assets and Impairment Assessments The Company evaluates and tests the recoverability of its goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or more often if and when circumstances indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives. Each period the Company evaluates the estimated remaining useful life of its intangible assets and whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. The carrying amounts of these assets are periodically reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of each asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of these assets then the Company will recognize an impairment charge.   The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If such review indicates that the carrying amount of long-lived assets is not recoverable, the carrying amount of such assets is reduced to fair value. Stock-Based Expense The Company records stock-based compensation expense based upon the fair value for all stock options issued to all persons to the extent that such options vest. The fair value of each award is calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognizes stock-based expense on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The Company recognizes stock-based expense for shares issued pursuant to its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) on a straight-line basis over the offering period of six months. The Company includes an estimated effect of forfeitures in its compensation cost and updates the estimated forfeiture rate through the final vesting date of the awards. The Company currently recognizes an insignificant tax benefit resulting from compensation costs expensed in the financial statements, however the Company provides a valuation allowance against the majority of deferred tax asset resulting from this type of temporary difference since it expects that it will not have sufficient future taxable income to realize such benefit. Income Taxes The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets to reduce their carrying value to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Foreign Currency Translation The U.S. dollar is the reporting currency for all periods presented. The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is generally the local currency. All assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average rate during the period. Equity transactions are translated using historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net loss for the period. There have been no significant changes or updates to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in its Annual report on Form 10-K the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, filed on July 3, 2013. Reclassification To conform with the basis of presentation adopted in the current fiscal quarter, the presentation of certain expense line items for the three months ended July 31, 2012 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations has been adjusted to reflect the following;   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">1)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Bad debt expense of $0.2 million has been reclassified from sales and marketing to general and administrative.</td> </tr> </table>   <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="4%"> </td> <td valign="top" width="4%" align="left">2)</td> <td valign="top" align="left">Information technology costs of $0.7 million have been allocated from general and administrative to cost of revenue, sales and marketing, and research and development.</td> </tr> </table> As these are reclassifications between expense categories, there is no impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2013, or the operating loss and net loss as reported on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholder’s equity or the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2012. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Income Taxes In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” (‘ASU 2013-11’) . ASU 2013-11 requires unrecognized tax benefits to be classified as an offset to deferred tax assets to the extent of any net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax loss carryforwards, or tax credit carryforwards available at the reporting date in the applicable tax jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. This guidance will be effective for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2015 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Foreign Currency Matters In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2013-05, “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” (‘ASU 2013-05’) to address diversity in practice related to the release of cumulative translation adjustments into earnings upon the occurrence of certain derecognition events. This guidance is effective for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2014 and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the organization, consolidation and basis of presentation of financial statements disclosure, and significant accounting policies of the reporting entity.
