Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

As discussed below, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, using the cumulative effect transition method, effective May 1, 2018. The Company derives revenue from the sale of health and wellness, energy, technology, insurance, training, media and travel products and services. The Company receives sales orders online and through its “back-office” operations, which creates a contract and determines the transaction price. The Company recognizes revenue upon satisfaction of its performance obligation when it transfers control of the promised goods and services to the customer. With respect to products and services sold, the performance obligation is satisfied upon receipt and acceptance of the product and services by the customer. With respect to subscription-based services, including Elepreneur membership fees, the performance obligation is satisfied over time (generally one year or less). The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the time when we invoice and/or collect payment under the contract. Deferred sales revenue associated with our performance obligation for customers’ right of return were $120,400 at October 31, 2018, net of potential restocking fees of $0, and were reported in accrued and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue associated with our performance obligation for services offered on a subscription basis were $646,500 at October 31, 2018 and are expected to be recognized over one year and were reported in accrued and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

 

No customer or group of customer represents 10% or more of our consolidated net sales. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2018, over 95% of our consolidated net sales are from the sale of our Elevate product line and over 95% of our consolidated net sales are from sales to customers located in the United States. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2018, three suppliers accounted for 99% of total purchases.

Sales Commissions

Sales Commissions

 

During the three and six months ended October 31, 2018, sales commission expense, which is included in selling and marketing expenses in our consolidated statements of operations, was $7.9 million and $13.6 million, respectively.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented. Actual results may differ from these estimates in amounts that may be material to our consolidated financial statements. We believe that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements, including our condensed consolidated interim financial statements, are reasonable. In managements’ opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Accounting Changes

Accounting Changes

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. A core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should measure revenue in connection with its sale of goods and services to a customer based on the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for each of those goods and services. The new standard must be adopted using either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. For public companies, this amendment was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. As required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, using the cumulative effect transition method, effective May 1, 2018 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and business.

 

The impact of adopting the new revenue standard on our financial statements was not material and is associated with our customers’ right of return and to recognition of revenue from services offered on a subscription basis. We now defer revenue (and the related cost of goods sold) associated with our customers’ right of return. The impact of adopting the new standard on our revenue from subscription-based services was not significant due to the short subscription periods (general one year or less) and to our prior policy of recognizing revenue from subscription-based services ratably over the subscription period.

 

Historically, our sales returns have been approximately 2% of our consolidated net sales and our subscription-based revenues have been 1% of our consolidated net sales. The Company is an emerging growth company with limited sales history. Going forward, the Company will continue to monitor its sales returns history and its sales of subscription-based services, and the Company will continue to recognize revenue in proportion to the documented pattern of satisfaction by the Company of such customer rights. Further, the Company will provide the added disclosures required by ASU No. 2014-09 when material.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 must be applied prospectively and provides a narrower framework to be used to determine if a set of assets and activities constitutes a business compared to the framework under the prior guidance and is generally expected to result in greater consistency in the application of ASC Topic No. 805, “Business Combinations.” For public companies, this amendment was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. As required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-01 effective May 1, 2018 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets.” The amendments clarified that nonfinancial assets that are within the scope of ASC Subtopic 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. For public companies, this amendment was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. As required, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-05 effective May 1, 2018 and its adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which will require lessees to report on their balance sheets a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in connection with most lease agreements classified as operating leases under the prior guidance. Under the new guidance, the lease liability must be measured initially based on the present value of future lease payments, subject to certain conditions. The right-of-use asset must be measured initially based on the amount of the liability, plus certain initial direct costs. The new guidance further requires that leases be classified at inception as either (a) operating leases or (b) finance leases. For operating leases, periodic expense will generally be flat (straight-line) throughout the life of the lease. For finance leases, periodic expense will decline (similar to capital leases under prior rules) over the life of the lease. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition method. For public companies, this amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet adopted this accounting pronouncement and are currently evaluating the potential impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations.
