Summary of Significant Accounting Policies And Estimates | 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates Consolidation Use of Estimates Cash and Cash Equivalents Capital Resources On March 12, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to its loan and security agreement with Avidbank. In connection with entering into the amendment, the Company made a $433,000 payment on its term loan, which includes the $83,333 monthly principal payment plus accrued interest for March 2020 and a $350,000 principal prepayment, thereby reducing the outstanding principal balance of its term loan to $2.0 million. Under the terms of the amendment, the Company’s financial covenants were changed, the maturity date of its term loan was changed from September 28, 2022 to December 31, 2020 (and as a result, the Company classified the total outstanding principal balance as a current liability on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2019), and commencing on April 30, 2020, the Company must make principal plus accrued interest payments on the last day of each month, such that its term loan will be repaid by December 31, 2020. The principal payment the Company must make each month will be $125,000 for each of April, May and June, $300,000 for each of July, August, September, October and November, and $125,000 for December. Assessments of Functional Currencies Foreign Currency Matters Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Site Equipment to be Installed Due to the termination of our relationship with Buffalo Wild Wing corporate-owned restaurants and most of its franchisees in November 2019, Buffalo Wild Wings offered the Company the opportunity to take back title to all of the tablets, cases and charging trays located at sites that terminated service with the Company at zero cost to the Company other than for shipping and related charges of approximately $175,000. As a result, the Company received approximately 45,000 tablets and cases and approximately 4,500 charging trays during the fourth quarter of 2019. Many of these items are the Company’s newer technology tablets and cases that can be redeployed to its customer sites or used in other possible partnerships. Although the Company has not yet completed its assessment of the items it received to determine how many the Company will ultimately retain, the Company determined that it would no longer have a future use for certain older tablets and cases it had on hand. Accordingly, during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized a loss of approximately $580,000 for the disposition of those older tablets and related cases recorded in site equipment to be installed for which it did not expect to generate future cash flows. Total loss for the disposition of site equipment for the year ended December 31, 2019 was approximately $591,000. There were no indications of impairment for the year ended December 31, 2018. Fixed Assets Depreciation of fixed assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation of leasehold improvements and fixed assets under finance leases is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease period. The Company incurs a relatively significant level of depreciation expense in relation to its operating income. The amount of depreciation expense in any fiscal year is largely related to the equipment located at the Company’s customers’ sites that are not under sales-type lease arrangements. Such equipment includes the Classic Playmaker, tablet, other associated electronics and the computers located at customer’s sites (collectively, “Site Equipment”). The components within Site Equipment are depreciated over one to three years based on the shorter of the contractual finance lease period or the estimated useful life, which considers anticipated technology changes. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over three to five years, furniture and fixtures is depreciated over five to seven years and the vehicle is depreciated over five years. If the Company’s fixed assets turn out to have longer lives, on average, than estimated, then its depreciation expense would be significantly reduced in those future periods. Conversely, if the fixed assets turn out to have shorter lives, on average, than estimated, then its depreciation expense would be significantly increased in those future periods. As of December 31, 2019, the Company determined there were no changes to the estimated useful lives for any of its assets. Goodwill Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The Company has goodwill resulting from the excess of costs over the fair value of assets it acquired in 2003 related to its Canadian business (the “Reporting Unit”). The Company performed the quantitative impairment test of its goodwill in each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, as the Company determined that because of declines in revenue of the Reporting Unit, the decline in the Company’s stock price and other general market conditions, it was more likely than not that there were indications of impairment. The Company used three methods of determining the fair value of the reporting unit: the public company market method, the transaction market method and the income method. Each method was equally weighted to calculate the total estimated fair value, and then the Company compared this fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The impairment test performed during 2018resulted in the carrying value exceeding the fair value. Accordingly, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment loss of approximately $261,000 during the year ended December 31, 2018. The impairment test performed during 2019 resulted in the fair value exceeding the carrying value. Therefore, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment for the year ended December 31, 2019. Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition Revenue from Contracts with Customers 1. Identify the contract(s) with customers 2. Identify the performance obligations 3. Determine the transaction price 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations 5. Recognize revenue when the performance obligations have been satisfied ASC No. 606 requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company generates revenue by charging subscription fees to partners for access to its 24/7 trivia network, charging equipment fees to certain customers for use of tablets and other equipment, by selling and leasing tablet and hardware equipment for custom usage beyond trivia/entertainment, by selling DOOH advertising direct to advertisers and on national ad exchanges, by licensing its entertainment and trivia content to other entities, and by providing professional services such as custom game design or development of new platforms on its existing tablet form factor. Up until February 1, 2020, the Company also generated revenue from hosting live trivia events (see Note 18). In general, when multiple performance obligations are present in a customer contract, the transaction price is allocated to the individual performance obligation based on the relative stand-alone selling prices, and the revenue is recognized when or as each performance obligation has been satisfied. Discounts are treated as a reduction to the overall transaction price and allocated to the performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling prices. All revenues are recognized net of sales tax collected from the customer. Revenue Streams The Company disaggregates revenue by material revenue stream as follows: Years ended December 31, 2019 2018 $ % of Total $ % of Total Change $ % Subscription revenue 14,278,000 72.1 % 16,031,000 68.7 % (1,753,000 ) (10.9 )% Hardware revenue 2,350,000 11.9 % 3,589,000 15.4 % (1,239,000 ) (34.5 )% Other revenue 3,178,000 16.0 % 3,715,000 15.9 % (537,000 ) (14.5 )% Total 19,806,000 100.0 % 23,335,000 100.0 % (3,529,000 ) (15.1 )% The following describes how the Company recognizes revenue under ASC No. 606. Subscription Revenue Costs associated with installing the equipment are considered direct costs. Costs associated with sales commissions are considered incremental costs for obtaining the contract because such costs would not have been incurred without obtaining the contract. The Company expects to recover both costs through future fees it collects and both costs are recorded in deferred costs on the balance sheet and amortized on a straight-line basis. For installation costs that are of an amount that is less than or equal to the deferred installation revenue for the related contract, the amortization period approximates the longer of the contract term and the expected term of the customer relationship. For any excess costs that exceed the deferred revenue, the amortization period of the excess cost is the initial term of the contract, which is generally one to two years because the Company can still recover that excess cost in the initial term of the contract. The Company amortizes commissions over the longer of the contract term and the expected term of the customer relationship. Sales-type Lease Revenue Leases. Equipment Sales Advertising Revenue Content Licensing Live Hosted Trivia Revenue Pay-to-Play Revenue Professional Development Revenue Revenue Concentrations The Company’s customers predominantly range from small independently operated bars and restaurants to bars and restaurants operated by national chains. This results in diverse venue sizes and locations. As of December 31, 2018, 2,639 venues in the U.S. and Canada subscribed to our interactive entertainment network, of which approximately 46% were Buffalo Wild Wings corporate-owned restaurants and its franchisees. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s site count declined to 1,440 venues primarily due to the termination of its agreement with Buffalo Wild Wings corporate-owned restaurants and most of its franchisees in November 2019 in accordance with the terms of the agreement. See Note (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION—Basis of Accounting Presentation, below and PART I — ITEM 1A, Risk Factors The table below sets forth the approximate amount of revenue the Company generated from Buffalo Wild Wings corporate-owned restaurants and its franchisees during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the percentage of total revenue that such amount represents for such periods: Year Ended 2019 2018 Buffalo Wild Wings revenue $ 6,820,000 $ 10,180,000 Percent of total revenue 34 % 44 % As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately $158,000 and $552,000, respectively, was included in accounts receivable from Buffalo Wild Wings corporate-owned restaurants and its franchisees. The geographic breakdown of the Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows: For the years ended 2019 2018 United States $ 19,153,000 $ 22,653,000 Canada 653,000 682,000 Total revenue $ 19,806,000 $ 23,335,000 Contract Assets and Liabilities The Company enters into contracts and may recognize contract assets and liabilities that arise from these contracts. The Company recognizes revenue and corresponding cash for customers who auto pay via their bank account or credit card, or the Company recognizes a corresponding accounts receivable for customers the Company invoices. The Company may receive consideration from customers, per the terms of the contract, prior to transferring goods or services to the customer. In such instances, the Company records a contract liability and recognizes the contract liability as revenue when all revenue recognition criteria are met. The table below shows the balance of contract liabilities as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, including the change during the period. Deferred Balance at January 1, 2019 $ 1,297,000 New performance obligations 1,093,000 Revenue recognized (1,928,000 ) Balance at December 31, 2019 462,000 Less non-current portion (2,000 ) Current portion at December 31, 2019 $ 460,000 The Company capitalizes installation costs associated with installing equipment in a customer location and sales commissions as a deferred cost asset on the balance sheet. For installation costs that are of an amount that is less than or equal to the deferred installation revenue for the related contract, the amortization period approximates the longer of the contract term and the expected term of the customer relationship. For any excess installation costs that exceed the deferred revenue, the amortization period of the excess cost is the initial term of the contract, which is generally one to two years because the Company can still recover that excess cost in the initial term of the contract. The Company amortizes commission costs over the longer of the contract term and the expected term of the customer relationship. The tables below show the balance of the unamortized installation cost and sales commissions as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, including the change during the period. Installation Sales Total Balance at January 1, 2019 $ 321,000 $ 103,000 $ 424,000 Incremental costs deferred 352,000 161,000 513,000 Deferred costs recognized (486,000 ) (177,000 ) (663,000 ) Balance at December 31, 2019 187,000 87,000 274,000 Research and Development Software Development Costs The Company performed its annual review of software development projects for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and determined to abandon various software development projects that the Company concluded were no longer a current strategic fit or for which it determined that the marketability of the content had decreased due to obtaining additional information regarding the specific industry for which the content was intended. As a result, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized an impairment of $498,000. There was no impairment charge for the quarter ended December 31, 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $550,000 and $23,000, respectively. Impairment of capitalized software is shown separately on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The Company elected the following practical expedients: ● Transitional practical expedients, which must be elected as a package and applied consistently to all of the Company’s leases: o The Company need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases. o The Company need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (that is, all existing leases that were classified as operating leases in accordance with the previous guidance will be classified as operating leases, and all existing leases that were classified as capital leases in accordance with the previous guidance will be classified as finance leases). o The Company need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. ● Hindsight practical expedient. The Company elected the hindsight practical expedient in determining the lease term (that is, when considering lessee options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of the Company’s right-of-use assets. The Company may elect this practical expedient separately or with the “practical expedient package,” and the Company must apply it consistently to all of its leases. Upon adoption of Topic 842, the Company recognized on its consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 approximately $3.5 million of operating lease liabilities, and approximately $2.3 million of corresponding operating right-of use assets, net of tenant improvement allowances. The Company also shows the initial recognition of the leases as a supplemental noncash financing activity on the statement of cash flows and the amortization of the noncash lease expense in operating activities. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. (See Note 14 for more information.) |
