Note 1

The Company:

 

Background

PhotoMedex, Inc. (and its subsidiaries) (the “Company”) is a Global Skin Health company providing integrated disease management and aesthetic solutions to dermatologists, professional aestheticians and consumers. The Company provides proprietary products and services that address skin diseases and conditions including acne, photo damage and unwanted hair. Our experience in the physician market provides the platform to expand our skin health solutions to spa markets, as well as traditional retail, online and infomercial outlets for home-use products. Through our subsidiary Radiancy, Inc., which was merged into PhotoMedex in 2011, we added a range of home-use devices under the no!no!® brand for various indications including hair removal, acne treatment, skin rejuvenation, and lower back pain. In addition, our professional product line increased its offerings for acne clearance, skin tightening, psoriasis care and hair removal sold to physician clinics and spas.

 

Starting in August 2014, the Company began to restructure its operations and redirect its efforts in a manner that management expected would result in improved results of operations and address certain defaults in its commercial bank loan covenants. As part of such redirected efforts, management continues its comprehensive efforts to minimize the Company’s operational costs and capital expenditures. During this time the Company has also sold off certain business units and product lines to support this restructuring and has agreed to sell its Consumer product division (See Acquisitions and Dispositions – Pending Transaction below and Note 16 – Subsequent Event).

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $117,023 and shareholders deficit of $1,392. To date, the Company has dedicated most of its financial resources to sales and marketing, general and administrative expenses and research and development.

 

Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2016 were $1,636, including restricted cash of $342. The Company has historically financed its activities with cash from operations, the private placement of equity and debt securities, borrowings under lines of credit and, in the most recent periods with sale of certain assets and business units. The Company will be required to obtain additional liquidity resources in order to support its operations. The Company is addressing its liquidity needs by seeking additional funding from lenders as well as selling certain of its product lines to a third party. There are no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the short and long-term support of its operations. In light of the Company’s recent operating losses and negative cash flows, the termination of a pending merger agreement (see Acquisitions and Dispositions below) and the uncertainty of completing further sales of its product lines, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on recoverability and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

On January 6, 2016, PhotoMedex, Inc. received an advance of $4 million, less a $40 financing fee (the “January 2016 Advance”), from CC Funding, a division of Credit Cash NJ, LLC, (the "Lender"), pursuant to a Credit Card Receivables Advance Agreement (the "Advance Agreement"), dated December 21, 2015.  The Company’s domestic subsidiaries, Radiancy, Inc.; PTECH; and Lumiere, Inc., were also parties to the Advance Agreement (collectively with the Company, the “Borrowers”). Each Advance was secured by security interest in defined collateral representing substantially all the assets of the Company. Concurrent with the funding of the loan agreement, the Company established a $500 cash reserve account in favor of the lender to be used to make loan payments in the event that weekly remittances, net of sales return credits and other bank charges or offsets, were insufficient to cover the weekly repayment amount due the lender.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Advance Agreement, the Lender was to make periodic advances to the Company (collectively with the January 2016 Advance and the April 2016 Advance described below, the “Advances”). The proceeds were used for general corporate purposes.

 

All outstanding Advances were repaid through the Company’s existing and future credit card receivables and other rights to payment arising out of our acceptance or other use of any credit or charge card (collectively, “Credit Card Receivables”) generated by activities based in the United States. 

 

On April 29, 2016, the Company received an advance of $1 million, less a $10 financing fee (the “April 2016 Advance”), from the Lender pursuant to the Advance Agreement.

 

On June 17, 2016, the Company received an advance of $550, less a $50 financing fee (the “June 2016 Advance”), from the Lender pursuant to the Advance Agreement.

 

The above described advances were paid in full on July 29, 2016 and the security interest in the defined collateral was released from lien.

 

The restricted cash account includes $250 from the Neova Escrow Agreement (see Acquisitions and Dispositions below). Restricted cash also includes $92 reflecting certain commitments connected to our leased office facilities in Israel. Additionally the Company gained access to previously restricted cash amounts of $724 that were held in escrow as of the one year anniversary of the sale of the XTRAC and VTRAC business on June 22, 2015, from which $125 was paid to MELA Science, the purchaser of that business which amount was reflected within the loss from discontinued operations.

 

On August 30, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of its Neova product line. The sale was completed on September 15, 2016 resulting immediate proceeds to the company of $1.5 million and the Company recorded a loss of $1,731 from the transaction during the three months ended September 30, 2016. (see Acquisitions and Dispositions below)

 

On October 4, 2016, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of its Consumer Division for $9.5 million, including $5 million in cash plus a $4.5 million royalty agreement. (see Note 16 Subsequent Event and Acquisitions and Dispositions below).

 

Acquisitions and Dispositions (See also Note 2, Discontinued Operations)

 

On May 12, 2014, PhotoMedex acquired 100% of the shares of LCA-Vision Inc. ("LCA-Vision" or "LCA"); the Company then sold 100% of the shares of LCA for $40 million in cash effective January 31, 2015. The results of operations of LCA-Vision have been included into the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2015 as a discontinued operation.

 

On June 22, 2015, the Company, sold the assets, and related liabilities, of the XTRAC and VTRAC business for $42.5 million in cash, including restricted cash of $750 to be held in escrow for twelve months.

 

See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2015 for information regarding the LCA and XTRAC/VTRAC transactions as well as the $85 million senior secured credit facilities entered into with JP Morgan Chase as part of the acquisition of LCA.

 

On March 31, 2016 we completed the sale to The Lotus Global Group, Inc. of all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Omnilux product line for $220 ($110 was received as a refundable deposit during December 2015 in advance and $110 was received in April 2015), pursuant to the Agreement for Sale of Assets dated March 31, 2016. Management does not believe that the sale of the Omnilux product line represented a strategic shift for the Company. As a result, the above transaction has not been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. The Company recorded a loss on the disposal of those assets in the amount of $843 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

On August 30, 2016, PhotoMedex and its subsidiary PhotoMedex Technology, Inc. (“PTECH”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Neova Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Pharma Cosmetics Laboratories Ltd., an Israeli corporation, and its subsidiary Pharma Cosmetics Inc., a Delaware corporation (together “PHARMA”) to acquire the Neova® skincare business (the “Transferred Business”) from PTECH, for a total purchase price of $1.8 million (the “Neova Purchase Price”). This transaction was completed on September 15, 2016, (the “Closing Date”). On that date, pursuant to the terms of the Neova Asset Purchase Agreement, PHARMA acquired all of the assets related to and associated with the Transferred Business, including but not limited to intellectual property, product inventory, accounts receivable and payable, and other tangible and intangible assets connected with the conduct of that Transferred Business. In exchange for these assets, the Company received a net payment from PHARMA of $1.5 million, subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment. 

 

Also on that date, the parties entered into a First Amendment (the “First Neova APA Amendment”) to the Neova Asset Purchase Agreement, which provided that PHARMA would hold in trust the sum of $50 until such time as PhotoMedex and PTECH obtain a signed Worldwide Trademark Co-existence Agreement and Consent to Assignment from Singer-Kosmetik GmbH, a German company formed under the laws of Germany, (“Singer”) regarding the use by both Singer and the Transferred Business of their respective trademarks. That agreement was obtained from the relevant parties, and the $50 held in trust by Pharma was released to PhotoMedex on October 28, 2016.

 

Management does not believe that the sale of the Neova product line represents a strategic shift for the company. As a result, the above transaction has not been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. The Company recorded a loss on the disposal of those assets in the amount of $1,731 for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2016.

 

The Neova Purchase Price is subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment, pursuant to which the Neova Purchase Price paid to the Company at closing will be adjusted up or down by an amount equal to the difference between the defined actual working capital and the target net working capital of $200. Target working capital is defined as the net Accounts Receivable less trade Accounts Payable related to the Transferred Business as of the closing date. The Neova Asset Purchase Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by each of the Company, PTECH and PHARMA, as well customary indemnification provisions among the parties.

 

The parties entered into several ancillary agreements as part of this transaction, including a Neova Escrow Agreement and a Neova Transition Services Agreement. Under the Neova Escrow Agreement, $250 of the Purchase Price (the "Escrow Amount") was placed into an escrow account held by U.S. Bank National Association as Escrow Agent.  The funds will remain in escrow for one year following the closing of the transaction. 

 

Under the Neova Transition Services Agreement, PHMD will continue to provide certain accounting, benefit, payroll, regulatory, IT support and other services to PHARMA for periods ranging from approximately three to up to nine months following the closing. During those periods, PHARMA will arrange to transition the services it receives to its own personnel.  PHARMA shall also have the right to continue occupying certain portions of PHMD’s Willow Grove, Pennsylvania facility and the Orangeburg, New York facility of PHMD’s Radiancy, Inc. subsidiary for a period of time. The amounts of compensation to be received by the Company for these services will be reflected in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive loss as a reduction of the related expenses that the Company will incur to provide these services.

 

PENDING TRANSACTION (see also Note 16, Subsequent Event)

On October 4, 2016, PhotoMedex and its subsidiaries Radiancy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Radiancy US”), Photo Therapeutics Ltd., a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“PHMD UK”), and Radiancy (Israel) Limited, an Israel corporation (“Radiancy Israel” and, together with the Company, Radiancy, and PHMD UK, “PHMD”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with ICTV Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ICTV Parent”), and its subsidiary ICTV Holdings, Inc. a Nevada corporation (the “Purchaser” and together with together with ICTV Parent, “ICTV”) pursuant to which ICTV will acquire PHMD’s consumer products division, including its no!no!® hair and skin products and the Kyrobak back pain management products (all such consumer products, the “Consumer Products”) and the shares of capital stock of Radiancy (HK) Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong (the “Hong Kong Foreign Subsidiary”), and LK Technology Importaçăo E Exportaçăo LTDA, a private Sociedade limitada formed under the laws of Brazil (the “Brazilian Foreign Subsidiary” and together with the Hong Kong Foreign Subsidiary, the “Foreign Subsidiaries”) (collectively, the “Transferred Business”) from PHMD, for a total purchase price of $9.5 million (the “Purchase Price”) including $3 million in cash at closing, $2 million of cash 90 days after closing collateralized by a letter of credit, and a $4.5 million royalty on future sales of the product line.  The closing (“Closing”) is anticipated to occur no later than 120 days from the date of the Agreement, or by February 1, 2017 (the date of Closing, the “Closing Date”). Following the impairment of the consumer segment’s goodwill and intangible asset during the three months period ended September 30,2016 , as discussed below, which, the company is not expected to record significant gain or loss from the transaction contemplated under the Asset Purchase Agreement (see Note 16 Subsequent Event and Acquisitions and Dispositions). 

 

TERMINATION of PENDING TRANSACTION

 

On February 19, 2016, PhotoMedex, Inc., Radiancy, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Radiancy”), DS Healthcare Group, Inc. (“DSKX”) and PHMD Consumer Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSKX (“Merger Sub A”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Radiancy Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Radiancy was to merge with Merger Sub A, with Radiancy as the surviving corporation in such merger (the “Radiancy Merger”). Concurrently, PHMD, PTECH, DSKX, and PHMD Professional Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSKX (“Merger Sub B”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “P-Tech Merger Agreement” and together with the Radiancy Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”) pursuant to which PTECH was to merge with Merger Sub B, with PTECH as the surviving corporation in such merger (the “P-Tech Merger” and together with the Radiancy Merger, the “Mergers”). As a result of the Mergers, DSKX would become the holding company for Radiancy and PTECH. The Mergers were expected to qualify as tax-free transfers of property to DSKX for federal income tax purposes.

 

On March 23, 2016, DSKX filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “DSKX March 23 Form 8-K”) with the SEC reporting its audit committee, after discussion with its independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DSKX for the two fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 should no longer be relied upon because of certain errors in such financial statements. To the knowledge of DSKX’s audit committee, the facts underlying its conclusion include that revenues recognized related to certain customers of DSKX did not meet revenue recognition criteria in the two fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015. Additionally, certain equity transactions in the two fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015 were not properly recorded in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and also were not properly disclosed.

 

DSKX reported in the DSKX March 23 Form 8-K that, on March 17, 2016, all members of DSKX’s board of directors other than Mr. Khesin, terminated the employment of Mr. Khesin, as its president and as an employee of DSKX, and also terminated Mr. Khesin’s employment agreement, dated December 16, 2013. DSKX reported in the DSKX March 23 Form 8-K that all members of DSKX’s board of directors other than Mr. Khesin terminated both Mr. Khesin’s employment and employment agreement for cause. In addition, DSKX reported in the DSKX March 23 Form 8-K that all members of DSKX’s board of directors other than Mr. Khesin unanimously removed Mr. Khesin as Chairman and a member of DSKX’s board of directors, also for cause. DSKX reported in the DSKX March 23 Form 8-K that DSKX’s board terminated Mr. Khesin for cause from both his employment and board positions because DSKX’s board believes, based on the results of the investigation as of the date of the DSKX March 23 Form 8-K, that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Mr. Khesin violated his fiduciary duty to DSKX and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company was not advised of this investigation during its negotiations with DSKX or after signing the Merger Agreements until the evening of March 21, 2016. On April 12, 2016, the Company sent a Reservation of Rights letter to DSKX. The Notice states that, based upon the disclosures set forth in DSKX’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 23, 2016 and subsequent press releases and filings by DSKX with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “DSKX Public Disclosure”), DSKX is in material breach of various representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in the Agreements; had failed to provide to the Company the information contained in the DSKX Public Disclosures during the discussions relating to the negotiation and execution of the Agreements; and continues to be in material breach under the Agreements. As a result, the letter further stated, the conditions precedent to the closing of these transactions as set forth in the Agreements may not be able to occur.

 

On May 27, 2016, PHMD, Radiancy, and P-Tech, terminated both Agreements and Plans of Merger and Reorganization among PhotoMedex and its affiliates and DS Healthcare Group. Given the material breaches identified in PHMD’s notice to DSKX, PHMD has initiated litigation seeking to recover a termination fee of $3.0 million, an expense reimbursement of up to $750 and its liabilities and damages suffered as a result of DSKX’s failures and breaches in connection with each of the Merger Agreements. On May 27, 2016, PHMD, Radiancy and P-Tech filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging breaches of the Merger Agreements by DSKX and seeking the damages described in the foregoing sentence. See Note 1, Pending Transactions in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2015 for additional information. 

 

Reverse Split and Number of Shares Adjustment

 

On October 29, 2015 the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders in which, among other matters, Company stockholders authorized the board of directors to amend the Company’s certificate of Incorporation with respect to a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock in a ratio to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors not to exceed a 1 for 5 ratio.

 

On September 7, 2016 the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse split in a ratio of 1-for-five.  The 2016 reverse split was implemented on September 23, 2016 (the “2016 Reverse Split”).  The amount of authorized Common Stock as well as the par value for the Common Stock were not effected.  Any fractional shares resulting from the 2016 Reverse Split were rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

All Common Stock, warrants, options and per share amounts set forth herein are presented to give retroactive effect to the 2016 Reverse Split for all periods presented.

 

On September 23, 2016, the Company’s Common stock and warrants approved for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol PHMD.  Shares were previously listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the same symbol.

 

Basis of Presentation:

 

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 nine months ended September 30, 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

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

 

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 a reporting company 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 the 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 business 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 the 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

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

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

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

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 September 30, 2016, the balance of such derivative instruments amounted to approximately $0 in liabilities and approximately $0 were recognized as financing expense in the Statement of Comprehensive (Loss) Income during the nine months ended that date.

 

The nominal amounts of foreign currency derivatives as of September 30, 2016 consist of forward transactions for the exchange of $0 into NIS as of September 30, 2016.

 

Accounting for the Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually at the end of the calendar year and also between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill was allocated to below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Goodwill impairment evaluation is performed subsequent to Impairment evaluation of long-lived assets and intangibles (see Notes 6 and 7). Goodwill impairment testing involves a two-step process. Step 1 compares the fair value of the Group’s reporting units to which goodwill was allocated to their carrying values. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is necessary. The reporting unit fair value is based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including guideline transaction multiples, multiples of current earnings, and projected future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risk involved. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, Step 2 must be completed to quantify the amount of impairment. Step 2 calculates the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit, from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in Step 1. The implied fair value of goodwill determined in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment loss, equal to the difference, is recognized. . The fair value of Goodwill associated with the operating and reporting units were estimated using a combination of Income and Market Approach methodologies to valuation. The Income method of valuation explicitly recognizes the current value of future economic benefits developed by discounting future net cash flows to their present value at a rate the reflects both the current return requirements of the market and the risks inherent in the market. The Market approach measures the value of an asset through the analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable property. Our business is organized into three operating and reporting units which are defined as Consumer, Physician Recurring, and Professional Equipment. The fair value of goodwill associated with the operating and reporting units took into consideration the sale price of the consumer business in connection with the pending transaction with ICTV Brands, Inc. (see Note 1 The Company and Note 16 Subsequent Event). Upon completion of our goodwill impairment analysis in connection with the pending transaction with ICTV Brands, as of September 30, 2016 the Company recorded an impairment of Consumer segment goodwill in the amount of $2,257. 

 

Also in connection with the pending transaction with ICTV Brands, as of September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an impairment of the Consumer segment intangibles for its Licensed Technology in the amount of $1,261.

 

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 balance sheet. The activity in the warranty accrual during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (with respect to the continuing operations) is summarized as follows:

 

    September 30,  
    2016     2015  
    (unaudited)     (unaudited)  
Accrual at beginning of period   $ 331     $ 529  
Additions charged to warranty expense     78       202  
Expiring warranties     (130 )     (14 )
Claims satisfied     (131 )     (345 )
Balance at end of period   $ 148     $ 372  

 

For extended warranty on the consumer products, see Revenue Recognition above.

 

Earnings Per Share

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

 

    For the Three Months Ended
September 30,
    For the Nine Months Ended
September 30,
 
    2016     2015     2016     2015  
Weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding:                                
Basic number of common shares outstanding     4,157,917       4,297,766       4,173,146       3,991,725  
Dilutive effect of stock options and warrants     -       -       -       -  
Diluted number of common and common stock equivalent shares outstanding     4,157,917       4,297,766       4,173,146       3,991,725  

  

Diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, exclude the impact of common stock options and warrants, totaling 209,398 shares, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, due to the loss from continuing operations for the periods.

 

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

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 permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. 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 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. The amendments also simplify two areas specific to private companies.

 

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).
