Business Combinations [Abstract]
ACQUISITION	ACQUISITION On July 1, 2013, Orion acquired all of the equity interests of Harris Manufacturing, Inc. and Harris LED, LLC (collectively, "Harris"). Harris was a Florida-based lighting company which engineered, designed, sourced and manufactured energy-efficient lighting systems, including fluorescent and LED lighting solutions, and day-lighting products. The acquisition was consummated pursuant to a Stock and Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 22, 2013 ("Purchase Agreement"), by and among Harris, the shareholders and members of Harris ("Harris Shareholders"), and Orion. The acquisition consideration paid to the Harris Shareholders was valued under the Purchase Agreement at an aggregate of $10,801,000, plus an adjustment of approximately $200,000 to reflect Orion's acquisition of net working capital in excess of a targeted amount, plus an additional $612,000 for the contingent consideration earn-out value assigned to non-employee Harris shareholders. The aggregate acquisition consideration was paid through a combination of $5,000,000 in cash, $3,124,000 in a three years unsecured subordinated promissory note and the issuance of 856,997 shares of unregistered Company common stock valued at $2,065,000. For purposes of the acquisition and the acquisition consideration, the shares of common stock issued in the acquisition of Harris were valued at $2.33 per share, which was the average closing share price as reported on the NYSE MKT for the 45 trading days preceding and the 22 trading days following the execution of the Purchase Agreement. For purposes of applying the purchase accounting provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, the shares of common stock issued in the acquisition were valued at $2.41 per share, which was the closing sale price of Orion's common stock as reported on the NYSE MKT on the July 1, 2013, date of acquisition. On October 21, 2013, Orion executed a letter agreement amending the Purchase Agreement. The letter agreement established a fixed future consideration of $1,371,000 for the previously existing earn-out component of the Purchase Agreement and eliminated the requirement that certain revenue targets must be achieved. Under the letter agreement, on January 2, 2014, Orion issued $571,000, or 83,943 shares, of Orion's unregistered common stock. The fixed consideration was determined based upon the existing share calculation at a fair value of $3.80 per common share. On January 2, 2015, Orion would pay $800,000 in cash to settle all outstanding obligations related to the earn-out component of the Purchase Agreement. In December 2014, Orion amended the letter agreement to defer the January 2, 2015 payment of $800,000 in cash until February 13, 2015, to settle all outstanding obligations related to the earn-out component of the Purchase Agreement. The final payment was made on February 12, 2015. Orion incurred $515,000 in acquisition and integration related costs for Harris during the year ended March 31, 2014, which included contingent consideration, legal, accounting and other integration related expenses. The Purchase Agreement contained customary representations and warranties, as well as indemnification obligations, and limitations thereon, by Orion and the Harris Shareholders. Prior to the amendment discussed above, the contingent consideration arrangement required Orion to pay the Harris Shareholders up to $1,000,000 in unregistered shares of Orion's common stock upon Harris' achievement of certain revenue milestones in calendar year 2013 and/or 2014, and, in the case of certain Harris Shareholders who became employees of Orion, their continued employment by Orion. The potential undiscounted amount of all future payments that Orion could have been required to make under the contingent consideration arrangement was between $0 and $1,000,000. Orion recorded $612,000 for the non-employee Harris Shareholder portion of the contingent consideration liability on the acquisition date. During the years ended March 31, 2015, and March 31, 2014, Orion expensed $147,000 and $334,000, respectively, in compensation expense as contingent consideration for employee Harris shareholders and during fiscal 2014, recorded $278,000 of additional earn-out expense for non-employee Harris shareholders. On December 31, 2014, Harris was merged with and into Orion.
