Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application of certain significant accounting policies as described below and elsewhere in these notes to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company believes that a significant accounting policy is one that is both important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results, and requires management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as the result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) and Accounting Standards Update (ASU) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB).
Use of Estimates and Uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts expensed during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates relied upon in preparing these consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition and revenue reserves, allowances for doubtful accounts, contingent liabilities, the expensing and capitalization of research and development costs for internal-use software, intangible asset valuations, amortization periods, expected future cash flows used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, the determination of the fair value of stock awards issued, stock-based compensation expense, and the recoverability of the Company's net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance.
Although the Company regularly assesses these estimates, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from management's estimates if these results differ from historical experience, or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate, even if such assumptions are reasonable when made.
The Company is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties common to companies in similar industries and stages of development including, but not limited to, rapid technological changes, competition from substitute products and services from larger companies, customer concentration, management of international activities, protection of proprietary rights, patent litigation, and dependence on key individuals.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and non-controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Non-controlling interest in 2012 represents the minority stockholders' proportionate share (37%) of the Company's majority-owned subsidiary, Brightcove KK, a Japanese joint venture, which was formed on July 18, 2008. The portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interest prior to the remaining acquisition in 2013 is presented as net income attributable to non-controlling interest in consolidated subsidiary in the consolidated statements of operations, and the portion of other comprehensive loss of this subsidiary is presented in the consolidated statements of redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit) and statements of comprehensive loss. See Note 8 for further discussion.
On January 8, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining 37% interest in Brightcove KK. The purchase price of the remaining interest of Brightcove KK was approximately $1.1 million and was funded by cash on hand. The Company owned a 63% interest in the Brightcove KK joint venture since its formation in 2008. Brightcove KK is now 100% owned by the Company. The purchase was accounted for as an equity transaction and, as such, the Company has continued to consolidate Brightcove KK for financial reporting purposes; however, commencing on January 8, 2013, the Company no longer records non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements.
Subsequent Events Considerations
The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the financial statements to provide additional evidence for certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been evaluated as required. The Company has evaluated all subsequent events and determined that there are no material recognized or unrecognized subsequent events.
Foreign Currency Translation
The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is the local currency of each subsidiary. All assets and liabilities in the balance sheets of entities whose functional currency is a currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollar equivalents at exchange rates as follows: (1) asset and liability accounts at period-end rates, (2) income statement accounts at weighted-average exchange rates for the period, and (3) stockholders' equity accounts at historical exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are excluded from income (loss) and reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net loss for the period. The Company may periodically have certain intercompany foreign currency transactions that are deemed to be of a long-term investment nature; exchange adjustments related to those transactions are made directly to a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Investments not classified as cash equivalents with maturities less than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as short-term investments, while investments with maturities in excess of one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term investments. Management determines the appropriate classification of investments at the time of purchase, and re-evaluates such determination at each balance sheet date.
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on deposit with banks and amounts held in interest-bearing money market accounts. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair market value. Investments primarily consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debentures. At December 31, 2013, the Company classified its investments as held-to-maturity as it was the Company's intention to hold such investments until they mature. As such, investments are recorded at amortized cost at December 31, 2013.
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 consist of the following:
Cash, cash equivalents and investments as of December 31, 2013 consist of the following:
Restricted Cash
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, restricted cash was $201,000 and $322,000, respectively, and was held in certificates of deposit as collateral for letters of credit related to the contractual provisions of the Company's corporate credit cards.and the contractual provisions with a customer.
Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, which include cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated their fair values at December 31, 2014 and 2013, due to the short-term nature of these instruments. See Note 5 for discussion on the determination of the fair value of the Company's long-term investments.
The Company has evaluated the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and management's estimates. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant impact on the estimated fair value amounts. See Note 5 for further discussion.
Revenue Recognition
The Company primarily derives revenue from the sale of its online video platform, which enables its customers to publish and distribute video to Internet-connected devices quickly, easily and in a cost-effective and high-quality manner. Revenue is derived from three primary sources: (1) the subscription to its technology and related support; (2) hosting, bandwidth and encoding services; and (3) professional services, which include initiation, set-up and customization services.
The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following conditions are satisfied: (1) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (2) the service has been provided to the customer; (3) the collection of fees is probable; and (4) the amount of fees to be paid by the customer is fixed or determinable. The Company's subscription arrangements provide customers the right to access its hosted software applications. Customers do not have the right to take possession of the Company's software during the hosting arrangement. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Contracts for premium customers generally have a term of one year and are non-cancellable. These contracts generally provide the customer with a maximum annual level of usage, and provide the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the annual allowable usage. For these services, the Company recognizes the annual fee ratably as revenue each month. Should a customer's usage of the Company's services exceed the annual allowable level, revenue is recognized for such excess in the period of the usage. Contracts for volume customers are generally month-to-month arrangements, have a maximum monthly level of usage and provide the rate at which the customer must pay for actual usage above the monthly allowable usage. The monthly volume subscription and support and usage fees are recognized as revenue during the period in which the related cash is collected.
Revenue recognition commences upon the later of when the application is placed in a production environment, or when all revenue recognition criteria have been met.
Professional services and other revenue sold on a stand-alone basis are recognized as the services are performed, subject to any refund or other obligation.
Deferred revenue includes amounts billed to customers for which revenue has not been recognized, and primarily consists of the unearned portion of annual software subscription and support fees, and deferred professional service fees.
Revenue is presented net of any taxes collected from customers.
Multiple-Element Arrangements
The Company periodically enters into multiple-element service arrangements that include platform subscription fees, support fees, initiation fees, and, in certain cases, other professional services.
The Company assesses arrangements with multiple deliverables under ASU No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which amended the previous multiple-element arrangements accounting guidance. Pursuant to ASU 2009-13, objective and reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered elements is no longer required in order to account for deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement separately. Instead, arrangement consideration is allocated to deliverables based on their relative selling price. The new guidance also eliminates the use of the residual method.
In order to treat deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have stand-alone value upon delivery. If the deliverables have stand-alone value upon delivery, the Company accounts for each deliverable separately. Subscription services have stand-alone value as such services are often sold separately. In determining whether professional services have stand-alone value, the Company considers the following factors for each professional services agreement: availability of the services from other vendors, the nature of the professional services, the timing of when the professional services contract was signed in comparison to the subscription service start date, and the contractual dependence of the subscription service on the customer's satisfaction with the professional services work. To date, the Company has concluded that all of the professional services included in multiple-element arrangements executed have stand-alone value, with the exception of initiation and activation fees.
When multiple deliverables included in an arrangement are separated into different units of accounting, the arrangement consideration is allocated to the identified separate units based on a relative selling price hierarchy. The Company determines the relative selling price for a deliverable based on its vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (VSOE), if available, or its best estimate of selling price (BESP), if VSOE is not available. The Company has determined that third-party evidence of selling price (TPE) is not a practical alternative due to differences in its service offerings compared to other parties and the availability of relevant third-party pricing information. The amount of revenue allocated to delivered items is limited by contingent revenue, if any.
The Company has not established VSOE for its offerings due to the lack of pricing consistency, the introduction of new services and other factors. Accordingly, the Company uses its BESP to determine the relative selling price. The Company determines BESP by considering its overall pricing objectives and market conditions. Significant pricing practices taken into consideration include the Company's discounting practices, the size and volume of the Company's transactions, the geographic area where services are sold, price lists, historical contractually stated prices and prior relationships and future subscription service sales with certain classes of customers.
The determination of BESP is made through consultation with and approval by the Company's management, taking into consideration the go-to-market strategy. As the Company's go-to-market strategies evolve, the Company may modify its pricing practices in the future, which could result in changes in selling prices, including both VSOE and BESP. The Company plans to analyze the selling prices used in its allocation of arrangement consideration, at a minimum, on an annual basis. Selling prices will be analyzed on a more frequent basis if a significant change in the Company's business necessitates a more timely analysis or if the Company experiences significant variances in its selling prices.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue primarily consists of costs related to supporting and hosting the Company's product offerings and delivering professional services. These costs include salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and stock-based compensation expense related to the management of the Company's data centers, customer support team and the Company's professional services staff, in addition to third-party service provider costs such as data center and networking expenses, allocated overhead, amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs and intangible assets and depreciation expense.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company offsets gross trade accounts receivable with an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable and is based upon historical loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due, and an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with specific accounts. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Provisions for allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded in general and administrative expense.
Below is a summary of the changes in the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012:
Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet risk, such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts, or other foreign hedging arrangements. Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents and investments principally with accredited financial institutions of high credit standing. Although the Company deposits its cash with multiple financial institutions, its deposits, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company routinely assesses the creditworthiness of its customers. The Company generally has not experienced any material losses related to receivables from individual customers, or groups of customers. The Company does not require collateral. Due to these factors, no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed by management to be probable in the Company's accounts receivable.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of net accounts receivable.
Concentration of Other Risks
The Company is dependent on certain content delivery network providers who provide digital media delivery functionality enabling the Company's on-demand application service to function as intended for the Company's customers and ultimate end-users. The disruption of these services could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position, and results of operations.
Software Development Costs
Costs incurred to develop software applications used in the Company's on-demand application services consist of (a) certain external direct costs of materials and services incurred in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software, and (b) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with, and who devote time to, the project. These costs generally consist of internal labor during configuration, coding, and testing activities. Research and development costs incurred during the preliminary project stage or costs incurred for data conversion activities, training, maintenance and general and administrative or overhead costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalization begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management, with the relevant authority, authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, it is probable the project will be completed, the software will be used to perform the functions intended and certain functional and quality standards have been met. Qualified costs incurred during the operating stage of the Company's software applications relating to upgrades and enhancements are capitalized to the extent it is probable that they will result in added functionality, while costs that cannot be separated between maintenance of, and minor upgrades and enhancements to, internal-use software are expensed as incurred. These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the software, which is estimated to be three years. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are classified as Software within Property and Equipment, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company capitalized $474, $1,065 and $24, respectively, of internal-use software development costs. The Company recorded amortization expense associated with its capitalized internal-use software development costs of $397, $312 and $542 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
In addition to the software development costs described above, the Company incurs costs to develop computer software to be licensed or otherwise marketed to customers. Costs incurred in the research, design and development of software for sale to others are charged to expense until technological feasibility is established. The Company capitalizes eligible computer software development costs upon achievement of technological feasibility subject to net realizable value considerations. Thereafter, software development costs are capitalized until the product is released and amortized to product cost of sales on a straight-line basis over the lesser of three years or the estimated economic lives of the respective products. The Company has determined that technological feasibility is established at the time a working model of software is completed. Because the Company believes its current process for developing software will be essentially completed concurrently with the establishment of technological feasibility, no costs have been capitalized to date.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation, are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income or loss in the period of retirement.
Property and equipment consists of the following:
Depreciation and amortization expense, which includes amortization expense associated with capitalized internal-use software development costs, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $5,388, $4,148 and $4,022, respectively.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized as additions to property and equipment.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During this review, the Company re-evaluates the significant assumptions used in determining the original cost and estimated lives of long-lived assets. Although the assumptions may vary from asset to asset, they generally include operating results, changes in the use of the asset, cash flows, and other indicators of value. Management then determines whether the remaining useful life continues to be appropriate, or whether there has been an impairment of long-lived assets based primarily upon whether expected future undiscounted cash flows are sufficient to support the assets' recovery. If impairment exists, the Company adjusts the carrying value of the asset to fair value, generally determined by a discounted cash flow analysis.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not identified any impairment of its long-lived assets. Business Combinations
The Company records tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. Amounts paid for each acquisition are allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the date of acquisition. The Company then allocates the purchase price in excess of net tangible assets acquired to identifiable intangible assets based on detailed valuations that use information and assumptions provided by management. Any excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill. If the fair value of the assets acquired exceeds our purchase price, the excess is recognized as a gain.
Significant management judgments and assumptions are required in determining the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, particularly acquired intangible assets. The valuation of purchased intangible assets is based upon estimates of the future performance and cash flows from the acquired business. Each asset is measured at fair value from the perspective of a market participant.
If different assumptions are used, it could materially impact the purchase price allocation and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives based on the pattern of consumption of the economic benefit or, if that pattern cannot be readily determined, on a straight-line basis and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, as discussed above.
Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
In assessing the recoverability of goodwill, the Company must make assumptions regarding the estimated future cash flows, and other factors, to determine the fair value of these assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges against these assets in the reporting period in which the impairment is determined. The Company has determined, based on its organizational structure, that it had one reporting unit as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
For goodwill, the impairment evaluation includes a comparison of the carrying value of the reporting unit to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the reporting unit's estimated fair value exceeds the reporting unit's carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed its carrying value, then further analysis would be required to determine the amount of the impairment, if any.
In accordance with ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) Testing Goodwill for Impairment, the Company has the option to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. Based on the results of the qualitative review of goodwill performed as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not identify any indicators of impairment. As such, the two-phase process described above was not necessary.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions, other events, and circumstances from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive loss is presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets and consists entirely of cumulative foreign translation adjustments as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Net Loss per Share
The Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per common share by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company has excluded (a) all unvested restricted shares that are subject to repurchase and (b) the Company's other potentially dilutive shares, which include redeemable convertible preferred stock in 2012, warrants to purchase redeemable convertible preferred stock in 2012, warrants to purchase common stock and outstanding common stock options, from the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding as their inclusion in the computation for all periods would be anti-dilutive due to net losses incurred. The Company's redeemable convertible preferred stock were deemed to be participating securities as defined by ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share, but were excluded from the earnings per share calculation as they do not have an obligation to share in the Company's net losses.
A reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share is as follows:
The following potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the computation of weighted-average shares outstanding as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, as their effect would have been antidilutive:
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. In addition, this method requires a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions recognized in the consolidated financial statements by prescribing a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties, if applicable, related to uncertain tax positions would be recognized as a component of income tax expense. The Company has no recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2014 or 2013.
Stock-Based Compensation
At December 31, 2014, the Company had four stock-based compensation plans: the Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, the Brightcove Inc. 2012 RSU Inducement Plan, and the Brightcove Inc. 2014 Stock Option Inducement Plan. Additionally, during March 2009, Brightcove KK adopted the Brightcove KK Stock Option Plan. On January 8, 2013, in conjunction with the acquisition of the remaining 37% of Brightcove KK, the Brightcove KK Stock Option Plan was terminated. These plans are more fully described in Note 7.
For stock options issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant, and an estimated forfeiture rate is used when calculating stock-based compensation expense for the period. For restricted stock awards issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant is calculated based on the Company's stock price on the date of grant. For service-based options, the Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
The fair value of each option grant issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. As there was no public market for its common stock prior to February 17, 2012, the effective date of the Company's IPO, and as the trading history of the Company's common stock was limited through December 31, 2014, the Company determined the volatility for options granted based on an analysis of reported data for a peer group of companies that issued options with substantially similar terms. The expected volatility of options granted has been determined using an average of the historical volatility measures of this peer group of companies. The expected life of options has been determined utilizing the simplified method. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of the stock options. The Company has not paid, and does not anticipate paying, cash dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero. In addition, based on an analysis of the historical actual forfeitures, the Company applied an estimated forfeiture rate of approximately 17%, 15% and 14% for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in determining the expense recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, was $4.21, $5.34 and $7.74 per share, respectively. The weighted-average assumptions utilized to determine such values are presented in the following table:
As of December 31, 2014, there was $11,725 of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested employee stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.14 years. The total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures.
The Company accounts for transactions in which services are received from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of such services received, or of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measured. The Company determines the total stock-based compensation expense related to non-employee awards using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Additionally, in accordance with ASC 505, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, the Company accounts for awards to non-employees prospectively, such that the fair value of the awards is remeasured at each reporting date until the earlier of (a) the performance commitment date or (b) the date the services required under the arrangement have been completed.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation expense for stock options granted to non-employees in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was not material.
For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, total stock-based compensation expense, including expense related to stock-based awards granted under the Brightcove KK Plan, was $6,387, $6,401 and $5,843, respectively.
See Note 7 for a summary of the stock option activity under the Company's stock-based compensation plans for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $3,515, $3,215 and $3,881 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued ASU No. 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The ASU is effective for public entities for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted under GAAP and retrospective application is permitted but not required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations. |

Unicorn Media, Inc.
On January 31, 2014, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Purchase Agreement) dated as of January 6, 2014, by and among the Company, Cacti Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Unicorn Media, Inc. (Unicorn Media), Unicorn Media of Arizona, Inc., an Arizona corporation (Unicorn Arizona Sub), U Media Limited, a private limited company registered in England and Wales (Unicorn UK Sub and, together with Unicorn Media and Unicorn Arizona Sub, Unicorn), and the Securityholders' Representative named therein, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of Unicorn's assets in exchange for common stock of the Company and the assumption by the Company of certain liabilities of Unicorn (the Acquisition). The Company issued 2,850,547 unregistered shares of common stock of the Company and paid approximately $9,100 in cash to cover transaction-related expenses of Unicorn, bonus expenses payable by Unicorn, the assumption of Unicorn's liability to cash out all vested non-qualified stock options and compensatory warrants to purchase the common stock of Unicorn outstanding immediately prior to the closing (including all Unicorn withholding obligations in connection therewith) and certain other liabilities of Unicorn. Based on a $10.74 price per share of the Company's common stock at the date of closing, the transaction is valued at approximately $39,728. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, 1,285,715 shares were placed into an escrow account to settle certain claims for indemnification for breaches or inaccuracies in Unicorn's representations and warranties, covenants and agreements. The Company recorded revenue from the acquisition of Unicorn of approximately $6,478 in the consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date through December 31, 2014. It is impracticable for the Company to determine the amount of net loss from the acquisition of Unicorn included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date through December 31, 2014 due to operating costs of Unicorn being included in the Company's historical departments subsequent to the acquisition. The Company acquired substantially all of Unicorn's assets to enhance and extend the Company's existing offerings with Unicorn's cloud video ad insertion technology. The Acquisition did not result in the addition of any reportable segments.
The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations. Accordingly, the results of operations of Unicorn have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the respective estimates of fair value as of the date of the Acquisition and using assumptions that the Company's management believes are reasonable given the information currently available.
The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets and certain tangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including estimating future cash flows and developing appropriate discount rates.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company incurred merger-related costs related to the Acquisition of $2,999. Included in merger-related expenses are costs incurred in connection with closing the Acquisition in addition to costs associated with the retention of certain key employees. In addition to the $39,728 purchase price, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, approximately $1,600 will be paid to retain certain key employees over periods ranging from one to two years as services are performed. Given that the retention amount is related to a future service requirement, the related expense is being recorded as compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations over the expected service period, and was $1,251 during the year ended December 31, 2014.
All of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the Acquisition have been recognized at their acquisition date fair values, which was finalized at December 31, 2014. The total purchase price for Unicorn has been allocated as follows:
The following are the identifiable intangible assets acquired and their respective estimated useful lives:
The fair value of the intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted-average cost of capital. In performing the purchase price allocation, the Company considered, among other factors, its intention for future use of the acquired assets, analyses of historical financial performance, and estimates of future cash flows from Unicorn's products and services. The allocation resulted in acquired intangible assets of $11,429.
The acquired intangible assets consisted of developed technology, customer relationships and non-compete agreements and were valued using the income approach in which the after-tax cash flows are discounted to present value. The cash flows are based on estimates used to price the transaction, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked with reference to the implied rate of return from the transaction model as well as the weighted average cost of capital. The Company assumed certain deferred tax assets and liabilities as part of the acquisition. The |
