1. Description of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of the Business

 

ARI Network Services, Inc. (“ARI” or “the Company”) creates software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) and data-as-a-service (“DaaS”) solutions that help equipment manufacturers, distributors and dealers in selected vertical markets to Sell More Stuff!™ – online and in-store. We remove the complexity of selling and servicing new and used inventory, parts, garments, and accessories (”PG&A”) for customers in the outdoor power equipment (“OPE”), powersports, automotive tire and wheel (“ATW”), home medical equipment (“HME”), marine, recreational vehicle (“RV”) and appliances industries.  Our innovative products are powered by a proprietary library of enriched original equipment and aftermarket content that spans more than 469,000 models from over 1,400 manufacturers.  More than 22,000 equipment dealers, 195 distributors and 140 manufacturers worldwide leverage our web and eCatalog platforms to Sell More Stuff!™

 

We were incorporated in Wisconsin in 1981.  Our principal executive office and headquarters is located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  The office address is 10850 West Park Place, Suite 1200, Milwaukee, WI 53224, and our telephone number at that location is (414) 973-4300. Our principal website address is www.arinet.com.  ARI also maintains operations in Duluth, Minnesota; Cypress, California; Floyds Knobs, Indiana; and Leiden, The Netherlands.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ARI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ARI Europe B.V.  We eliminated all significant intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.  Certain reclassifications were made to amounts previously reported in our financial statements in order to conform to the current presentation related to certain shared corporate overhead expenses which were reclassified between sales and marketing, customer operations and support, software development and technical support and general and administrative expenses. This had no impact on gross profit, total operating expenses or net income (loss). All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies are fully described in the footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2013.  There were no material changes to our accounting policies during the nine months ended April 30, 2014.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard 605-25 “Revenue from Multiple Element Arrangements”, revenues from subscription fees for use of our software, access to our catalog content, and software maintenance and support fees are all recognized ratably over the contractual term of the arrangement, as vendor specific objective evidence does not exist for these elements. ARI considers all arrangements with payment terms extending beyond 12 months not to be fixed or determinable and evaluates other arrangements with payment terms longer than normal to determine whether the arrangement is fixed or determinable. If the fee is not fixed or determinable, revenue is recognized as payments become due from the customer. Arrangements that include acceptance terms beyond the standard terms are not recognized until acceptance has occurred. If collectability is not considered probable, revenue is recognized when the fee is collected.

 

Arrangements that include professional services are evaluated to determine whether those services are essential to the functionality of other elements of the arrangement. Types of services that are considered essential to software subscription arrangements include customizing complex features and functionality in a product’s base software code or developing complex interfaces within a customer’s environment. When professional services are considered essential to software license arrangements, the professional service revenue is recognized pursuant to contract accounting using the percentage-of-completion method with progress-to-completion measured based upon labor hours incurred. Professional services revenue for set-up and integration of hosted websites, or other services considered essential to the functionality of other elements of this

Page 9


 

 

type of arrangement, is amortized over the term of the contract. When professional services are not considered essential, the revenue allocable to the professional services is recognized as the services are performed.  When the current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is made in the period the amount is determined.

 

Revenue for variable transaction fees, primarily for use of the shopping cart feature of our websites, is recognized as it is earned. Amounts received for shipping and handling fees are reflected in revenue.  Costs incurred for shipping and handling are reported in cost of revenue.

 

Amounts invoiced to customers prior to recognition as revenue, as discussed above, are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as deferred revenue.

 

Trade Receivables, Credit Policy and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due on normal trade terms, most of which require payment within thirty (30) days from the invoice date.  Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoices.

 

The carrying amount of trade receivables is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected.  Management individually reviews receivable balances that exceed ninety (90) days from the invoice date and, based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion of the balance that will not be collected.  The allowance for potential doubtful accounts is reflected as an offset to trade receivables in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Capitalized and Purchased Software Product Costs

 

Certain software development and acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Capitalization of these costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the on-going assessment of recoverability of software costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, the determination of technological feasibility, anticipated future gross revenue, estimated economic life and changes in software and hardware technologies. 

 

The annual amortization of software products is the greater of the amount computed using: (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for the network or a software product bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenue for the network or a software product, or (b) the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the product which currently runs from two to nine years. Amortization starts when the product is available for general release to customers.  The Company capitalizes costs of developing specific software enhancements on an on-going basis; all other software development and support expenditures are charged to expense in the period incurred.

 

Fair Value Assets and Liabilities

 

ARI uses the three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted market prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.  The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Common Stock Warrants

 

ARI has periodically issued common stock warrants in connection with debt and equity financing arrangements.  The terms of the agreements are assessed to determine whether the instrument qualifies as an equity arrangement or a debt arrangement.  Arrangements determined to be derivatives are recorded at fair value as liabilities on the balance sheet, with periodic gains and losses related to the change in fair value recorded to earnings on the Statements of Operations.  The Company recorded a gain related to the change in fair value of common stock warrants of $4,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and a loss of $28,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 2014, compared to $0 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2013. 

 

Page 10


 

 

Legal Provisions

 

ARI may be periodically involved in legal proceedings arising from contracts, patents or other matters in the normal course of business. We reserve for any material estimated losses if the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated.   We had no legal provisions for the three or nine months ended April 30, 2014 or 2013, respectively. 

 

Deferred Loan Fees and Debt Discounts

 

Fees associated with securing debt are capitalized and included in prepaid and other and other long term assets on the balance sheets.  Stock issued as consideration for debt financing is recorded to debt discount, reducing the carrying amount of the debt on the balance sheets.  Deferred loan fees and debt discounts are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

 

Deferred Income Taxes

 

The tax effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the estimated future tax benefit from tax net operating loss carryforwards is reported as deferred tax assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. An assessment of the likelihood that net deferred tax assets will be realized from future taxable income is performed at each reporting date or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a change in the valuation allowance. Because the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets is highly subject to the outcome of future events, the amount established as a valuation allowance is considered to be a significant estimate that is subject to change in the near term. To the extent a valuation allowance is established or there is a change in the allowance during a period, the change is reflected with a corresponding increase or decrease in the income tax provision in the Statements of Operations.

 

2. Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share

 

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period and reflects the potential dilution using the treasury stock method, which calculates the number of common shares that could be purchased at market price with the proceeds that would occur if all of the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants that have a strike price below the market price were exercised. 

 

The following table is a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share data):

3. Stock-based Compensation Plans

Page 11


 

 

 Stock Option Plans

 

We used the Black-Scholes model to value stock options granted. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual term of the options is based on the United States Treasury yields in effect at the time of grant.

 

As recognizing stock-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of recognized expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures based on the Company’s historical experience. Total stock compensation expense recognized by the Company was approximately $63,000 and $112,000 for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 2014, respectively, and $42,000 and $127,000 for the same periods last year.  There was approximately $389,000 and $194,000 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested options granted under the Company’s stock option plans as of April 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at April 30, 2014 or July 31, 2013. 

 

The fair value of each option granted was estimated in the period of issuance using the assumptions in the following table for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013:

2000 Stock Option Plan

 

The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Plan”) had 1,950,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance.  Each incentive stock option that was granted under the 2000 Plan is exercisable for a period of not more than 10 years from the date of grant (five years in the case of a participant who is a 10% shareholder of the Company, unless the stock options are nonqualified), or such shorter period as determined by the Compensation Committee, and shall lapse upon the expiration of said period, or earlier upon termination of the participant’s employment with the Company. The 2000 Plan expired on December 13, 2010, at which time it was terminated except for outstanding options.  As a result, no new options may be granted under the 2000 Plan.
