Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all of our wholly owned subsidiaries and majority owned subsidiaries. The non-controlling interest relating to a majority owned subsidiary is not significant for presentation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and statements of financial position for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading when read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Form 10-K”), as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017. The December 31, 2016 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

 

Our interim operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in future operating quarters. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2016 Form 10-K for additional information regarding risk factors that may impact our results.

Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2016 Form 10-K describes the significant accounting policies and estimates used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2017 except in the areas of revenue and cost recognition, accounts receivable, share-based compensation and use of estimates as described below.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

Revenue from the sale and installation of products is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) the ability to collect is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue using either the completed contract method or the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, depending primarily on length of time required to complete the contract. The completed contract method is used for short-term contracts for which financial position and results of operations reported on the completed-contract basis would not vary materially from those resulting from use of the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue from the sale and installation of products is recognized net of adjustments and discounts and, for revenue using the completed contract method of accounting, at the time the installation is complete. When the percentage-of-completion method is used, we estimate the costs to complete individual contracts and record as revenue that portion of the total contract price which is considered complete based on the relationship of costs incurred to date to total anticipated costs. The costs of earned revenue include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

Accounts Receivable

We account for trade receivables based on amounts billed to customers. Past due receivables are determined based on contractual terms. We do not accrue interest on any of our trade receivables.

Retainage receivables represent the amount retained by our customers to ensure the quality of the installation and is received after satisfactory completion of each installation project. Management regularly reviews aging of retainage receivables and changes in payment trends and records an allowance when collection of amounts due are considered at risk. Amounts retained by project owners under construction contracts and included in accounts receivable were $21.1 million and $18.3 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

Our share-based compensation program is designed to attract and retain employees while also aligning employees’ interests with the interests of our stockholders. Restricted stock awards are periodically granted to certain employees, officers and non-employee members of our board of directors under the stockholder-approved 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Most awards are deemed to be equity-based with a service condition and do not contain a market or performance condition with the exception of performance-based awards granted to certain officers. Fair value of the non-performance-based awards to employees and officers is measured at the grant date and amortized to expense over the vesting period of the awards using the straight-line attribution method for all service-based awards with a graded vesting feature. This fair value is reduced by assumed forfeitures and adjusted for actual forfeitures until vesting. We also issue performance stock-based awards to certain officers under our 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The performance-based compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period using the graded-vesting method for the entire award. Performance-based stock awards are accounted for at fair value at date of grant. Employees and officers are subject to tax at the vesting date based on the market price of the shares on that date, or on the grant date if an election is made.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the revenue, costs and reserves established under the percentage-of-completion method, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, valuation of the reporting unit, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, share-based compensation, reserves for general liability and workers’ compensation and medical insurance. Management believes the accounting estimates are appropriate and reasonably determined; however, due to the inherent uncertainties in making these estimates, actual amounts could differ from such estimates.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are generally expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and is included in selling expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2015, the Federal Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330).” This update requires an entity to measure inventory within the scope of the update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. For public business entities, this update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments.” This ASU clarifies the requirement for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under this amendment is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. Consequently, when a call (put) option is contingently exercisable, an entity does not have to assess whether the event that triggers the ability to exercise a call (put) option is related to interest rates or credit risks. For public business entities, this update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323).” The portion of this ASU related to Topic 250 states that when a registrant does not know or cannot reasonably estimate the impact that future adoption of certain ASUs (ASU 2014-09, 2016-02, and 2016-13) are expected to have on the financial

 

statements, then in addition to making a statement to that effect, that registrant should consider additional qualitative financial statement disclosures to assist the reader in assessing the significance of the impact that the standard will have on the financial statements of the registrant when adopted. We have included such disclosures for ASU 2014-09 but not for ASU 2016-02 or ASU 2016-13 since we have not yet performed sufficient analysis on future effects upon implementation of the new standards. We have concluded that the portion of this ASU related to Topic 323 is not applicable and, therefore, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. This ASU is effective upon issuance.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 sets forth a new revenue recognition model that requires identifying the contract(s) with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizing the revenue upon satisfaction of performance obligations. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the application of the provisions of this standard for public companies until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. We have substantially completed our initial assessment of the new standard and we are in the process of developing a plan to assess our contracts with customers and validate other components of the preliminary assessment. Currently, we intend to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective approach. We will continue to assess the impact of this standard through our implementation program and validation process.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. For public business entities, this update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted as of the standard’s issuance date. We are evaluating whether this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For additional information about potential impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements, see Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” which provides supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-10 must be adopted concurrently with the adoption of ASU 2014-09. We are evaluating whether the future adoption of these pronouncements will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 pursuant to Staff announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting.” This ASU rescinds from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification certain SEC paragraphs as a result of two SEC Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 meeting. For public entities, the amendments related to Topic 605 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and amendments related to Topic 815 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We are evaluating whether the portion of this ASU related to Topic 605 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements but have concluded that the portion of this ASU related to Topic 815 is not applicable and, therefore, will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients.” The amendments in this ASU provide additional clarification and implementation guidance on the previously issued ASU 2014-09. This ASU provides clarification to Topic 606 on how to assess collectability, present sales tax, treat noncash consideration and account for completed and modified contracts at the time of transition. The amendment also clarifies that an entity retrospectively applying the guidance in Topic 606 is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change in the period of adoption. The effective date and transition requirements for these amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of ASU 2014-09, which is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. We are evaluating whether this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. In addition, these amendments require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets, including trade accounts receivable, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. For public business entities, this update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating whether this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Clarification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230).” This ASU addresses the diversity in practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows by adding or clarifying guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. For public business entities, this update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating whether this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory.” This ASU aligns the recognition of income tax consequences for intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). For public business entities, this update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating whether this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” This ASU makes minor corrections or minor improvements to the new revenue recognition standard (ASU 2014-09 not yet adopted) that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. For public business entities, this update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating whether this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business.” This ASU clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public business entities, this update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are evaluating whether this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” This ASU removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test. An entity will apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The new guidance does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. For public business entities, this update is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not believe this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
