Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of presentation | 3. Basis of presentation Unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Power Solutions International, Inc. present information in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the interim periods of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles reflected in, the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in PSI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. As these financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements and related notes prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Principles of consolidation The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Power Solutions International, Inc. and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Significant accounting policies The Company’s significant accounting policies as of December 31, 2013 are described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2014. There have been no material changes with respect to the Company’s significant accounting policies subsequent to December 31, 2013, with the exception of goodwill and other intangibles. Management has adopted the following significant accounting policy based on the acquisition of PPPI (See Note 2, “Acquisition of Professional Power Products, Inc.” for further discussion). Goodwill and other intangibles Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price and related costs over the values assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Intangibles, goodwill is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Absent any interim indicators of impairment, the Company will test for goodwill impairment on a specified date of each year. In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Intangibles, the Company amortizes its intangible assets with finite lives over their respective estimated useful lives and will review for impairment whenever impairment indicators exist. The Company’s intangible assets consist of backlog, customer relationships and trade names and trademarks.
