Accounting Principles

Accounting Principles

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2015”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to interim financial statements. As permitted under those rules, certain information and footnote disclosures normally required or included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are considered necessary to present fairly the results of the Company’s financial position and operating results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any other interim period or for any future period.
Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Held for Sale Classification and Discontinued Operations

Held for Sale Classification and Discontinued Operations

 

A disposal group is reported as held for sale when management has approved or received approval to sell and is committed to a formal plan, the disposal group is available for immediate sale, the business is being actively marketed, the sale is anticipated to occur during the next 12 months and certain other specified criteria are met. A disposal group classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying value of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized. However, when disposal group meets the held for sale criteria, the Company first evaluates whether the carrying amounts of the assets not covered by ASC 360-10 included in the disposal group (such as goodwill) are required to be adjusted in accordance with other applicable GAAP before measuring the disposal group at fair value less cost to sell.

 

Assets and liabilities related to a disposal group classified as held for sale are segregated in the consolidated balance sheet in the period in which the disposal group is classified as held for sale.

 

Until December 31, 2014, in accordance with previous US GAAP, operations of a disposal group were reported as discontinued operations if the disposal group is classified as held for sale, the operations and cash flows of the business have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations as a result of a disposal transaction and when the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the disposal group after the disposal transaction. See below regarding change to the criteria for reporting discontinued operations.

 

Accordingly, the disposal of LCA-Vision was presented as discontinued operations, commencing with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Commencing January 1, 2015 (the effective date of the ASU 2014-08), only disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results shall be reported as discontinued operations. The revised guidance did not change the criteria required to qualify for held for sale presentation. The revised guidance includes several new disclosures and among others, required to reclassify the assets and liabilities of discontinued operations to separate line items in the balance sheets for all periods presented (including comparatives). Accordingly, following the sale of XTRAC and VTRAC business which were determined to represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company, the assets and liabilities of the XTRAC and VTRAC as of December 31, 2014 were reclassified and presented as assets and liabilities held for sale (without changing their classification as current or non-current). Also, the results of the operations of LCA operating segment and the XTRAC and VTRAC business were presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss (see also Note 2, Discontinued operations).

  

The results of discontinued operations are reported in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for current and prior periods commencing in the period in which the business meets the criteria of a discontinued operation, and include any gain or loss recognized on closing or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation is not recorded on assets of a business while it is classified as held for sale.
Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues from product sales when the following four criteria have been met: (i) the product has been delivered and the Company has no significant remaining obligations; (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (iii) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection is reasonably assured. Revenues from product sales are recorded net of provisions for estimated chargebacks, rebates, expected returns and cash discounts.

 

The Company ships most of its products FOB shipping point, although from time to time certain customers, for example governmental customers, will be granted FOB destination terms. Among the factors the Company takes into account when determining the proper time at which to recognize revenue are (i) when title to the goods transfers and (ii) when the risk of loss transfers. Shipments to distributors or physicians that do not fully satisfy the collection criteria are recognized when invoiced amounts are fully paid or fully assured and included in deferred revenues until that time.

 

For revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables within a single, contractually binding arrangement (usually sales of products with separately priced extended warranty), each element of the contract is accounted for as a separate unit of accounting when it provides the customer value on a stand-alone basis and there is objective evidence of the fair value of the related unit.

 

With respect to sales arrangements under which the buyer has a right to return the related product, revenue is recognized only if all the following conditions are met: the price is fixed or determinable at the date of sale; the buyer has paid, or is obligated to pay and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product; the buyer's obligation would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product; the buyer has economic substance; the Company does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer; and the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.

 

The Company provides a provision for product returns based on the experience with historical sales returns, in accordance with ASC Topic 605-15 with respect to sales of product when a right of return exists. Reported revenues are shown net of the returns provision. Such allowance for sales returns is included in Other Accrued Liabilities. (See Note 9).

 

Deferred revenue includes amounts received with respect to extended warranty maintenance, repairs and other billable services and amounts not yet recognized as revenues. Revenues with respect to such activities are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the warranty period, the service period or when service is provided, as applicable to each service.
Functional Currency

Functional Currency

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company, its U.S. subsidiaries and Radiancy Ltd., its subsidiary in Israel, are conducted is the US dollar ("$" or "dollars"). Thus, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries (other than the foreign subsidiaries mentioned below) is the dollar (which is also the reporting currency of the Group). The operations of the other foreign subsidiaries are each conducted in the local currency of the subsidiary. These currencies include: Great Britain Pounds (GBP) and Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). Substantially all of the Group's revenues are derived in dollars or in other currencies linked to the dollar. Purchases of most materials and components are carried out in, or linked to the dollar.

 

Balances denominated in, or linked to, foreign currencies are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. For foreign currency transactions included in the statement of comprehensive income (loss), the exchange rates applicable to the relevant transaction dates are used. Transaction gains or losses arising from changes in the exchange rates used in the translation of such balances are carried to financing income or expenses.

 

Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency is their local currency, are translated from their respective functional currency to U.S. dollars at the balance sheet date exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Deferred taxes are not provided on translation adjustments as the earnings of the subsidiaries are considered to be permanently reinvested.
Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions there exists a three-tier fair-value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  • Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
  • Level 2 – pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
  • Level 3 – pricing inputs are unobservable for the non-financial asset or liability and only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the non-financial asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Fair value is determined using comparable market transactions and other valuation methodologies, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors

 

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are based on its demand value, which is equal to its carrying value. The estimated fair values of notes payable which are based on borrowing rates that are available to the Company for loans with similar terms, collateral and maturity approximate the carrying values. Additionally, the carrying value of all other monetary assets and liabilities is estimated to be equal to their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value, on a recurring basis. The fair value of derivatives generally reflects the estimated amounts that the Group would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting dates, based on the prevailing currency prices and the relevant interest rates. Such measurement is classified within Level 2.

 

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, there are also assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include certain long-lived assets, including goodwill. As such, we have determined that each of these fair value measurements reside within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivatives

Derivatives

The Company applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. In accordance with ASC Topic 815, all the derivative financial instruments are recognized as either financial assets or financial liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

 

From time to time the Company carries out transactions involving foreign exchange derivative financial instruments (mainly forward exchange contracts) which are expected to be paid with respect to forecasted expenses of the Israeli subsidiary (Radiancy) denominated in Israeli local currency (NIS) which is different than its functional currency.

 

Such derivatives were not designated as hedging instruments, and accordingly they were recognized in the balance sheet at their fair value, with changes in the fair value carried to the Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and included in interest and other financing expenses, net.

 

At March 31, 2016, the balance of such derivative instruments amounted to approximately $0 in assets and approximately $0 were recognized as financing income in the Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income during the quarter ended that date.

 

The nominal amounts of foreign currency derivatives as of March 31, 2016 consist of forward transactions for the exchange of $0 into NIS as of March 31, 2016.
Accrued Warranty Costs

Accrued Warranty Costs

 

The Company offers a standard warranty on product sales generally for a one to two-year period. The Company provides for the estimated cost of the future warranty claims on the date the product is sold. Total accrued warranty is included in Other Accrued Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The activity in the warranty accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 is summarized as follows:

 

    March 31,  
    2016     2015  
    (unaudited)     (unaudited)  
Accrual at beginning of year   $ 330     $ 529  
Additions charged to warranty expense     10       86  
Expiring warranties     (54 )     (13 )
Claims satisfied     (45 )     (97 )
Total     241       505  
Less: current portion     (241 )     (505 )
Accrued extended warranty   $ 0     $ 0  

 

For extended warranty on the consumer products, see Revenue Recognition above.
Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share were calculated using the following weighted-average shares outstanding:

 

    For the Three Months Ended March 31,  
    2016     2015  
Weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding:                
Basic number of common shares outstanding     20,777,321       19,794,210  
Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants     -       -  
Diluted number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding     20,777,321       19,794,210  

 

 

Diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016, excluded the impact of common stock options and warrants, totaling 1,056,088 shares, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, due to the net loss for the period. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015, excluded the impact of common stock options and warrants, totaling 3,563,503 shares, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, due to the net loss for the period.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standard ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to estimated amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, rather than retrospectively adjusting amounts previously reported. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the estimated amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.

 

ASU 2015-16 became effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments is required be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued.

 

The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, The FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09").

 

ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires entities to disclose sufficient information, both quantitative and qualitative, to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

 

During 2016, the FASB issued several Accounting Standard Updates that focuses on certain implementation issues of the new revenue recognition guidance including Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, Principal versus Agent Considerations and Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.

 

An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU using one of the following two methods: 1. Retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with a possibility to elect certain practical expedients, or, 2. Retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. If an entity elects the latter transition method, it also should provide certain additional disclosures. 

 

For a public entity, the amendments in ASU 2014-09 (including the amendments introduced through recent ASU's) are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period (the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 for the Company). Early application is not permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). ASU 2014-15 provide guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). ASU 2014-15 also provide guidance related to the required disclosures as a result of management evaluation.

 

The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted.

 

In July, 2015, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330) ("ASU 2015-11"). ASU 2015-11 outlines that inventory within the scope of its guidance be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventory measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) are not impacted by the new guidance. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-11, inventory was measured at the lower of cost or market (where market was defined as replacement cost, with a ceiling of net realizable value and floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin). For a public entity, the amendments in ASU 2015-11 are effective, in a prospective manner, for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period (the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2015-11 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments." The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to estimated amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, rather than retrospectively adjusting amounts previously reported. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the estimated amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. Effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company does not believe the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheet. The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, all deferred tax assets and liabilities will be required to be classified as noncurrent.The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods (i.e., in the first quarter of 2017 for calendar year-end companies).Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.The guidance may be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively (i.e., by reclassifying the comparative balance sheet). If applied prospectively, entities are required to include a statement that prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. If applied retrospectively, entities are also required to include quantitative information about the effects of the change on prior periods. The Company does not believe this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees.

 

Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows.

 

For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period periods (i.e., in the first quarter of 2017 for calendar year-end companies).
