Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at fiscal year end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, useful lives of fixed assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances.  These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions.  Additionally, the actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for continued reasonableness. We make appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
Recently Adopted Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”.  The core principle of the standard is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. A lessee should recognize in its statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use ("ROU") asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are also required. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, utilizing the cumulative-effect adjustment transition method, which applies the provisions of the standard at the effective date without adjusting the comparative periods presented. Upon adoption, we did not record an adjustment to our beginning accumulated deficit.
    
In addition, we adopted the following additional practical expedients available for implementation:

•An entity need not reassess whether any existing or expired contracts are or contain leases;
•An entity need not reassess lease classification for any existing or expired leases; and
•An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

We recognized lease liabilities of approximately $8,900 on January 1, 2019. A right-of-use asset of approximately $8,200 was recognized based on the lease liability, adjusted for the reclassification of deferred rent and lease incentive of approximately $680. The standard did not materially impact our operating results or liquidity upon adoption. The standard has no impact on the timing or classification of our cash flows as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Our accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. Disclosures related to this standard are included in Note 7, Leases.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”, which provides entities the option to reclassify tax effects stranded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Tax Act”) to retained earnings. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.

Standards Yet To Be Adopted

The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance modifies disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  Implementation on a prospective or retrospective basis varies by specific disclosure requirements. Early adoption is permitted. The standard also allows for the early adoption of any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU while delaying the adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. We plan to adopt this standard at the effective date and do not expect any material impact from adoption.

The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40). The new guidance reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). For public companies, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Implementation should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows are not expected to be material.

Leases
LEASES

At the commencement date of a lease, we recognize a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the ROU underlying asset during the lease term. The lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our leases typically do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date taking into consideration necessary adjustments for collateral, depending on the facts and circumstances of the lessee and the leased asset, and term to match the lease term. The ROU asset is measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement of the lease liability and initial direct costs incurred by the Company and excludes lease incentives. Lease liabilities are recorded in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities. ROU assets are recorded in other assets, net.
 
Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components are generally accounted for separately.

Although we have been, and in the future may be, the defendant or plaintiff in various actions arising in the normal course of business, as of September 30, 2019, we were not a party to any pending legal proceedings.
