Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bovie and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aaron Medical Industries, Inc., Bovie Bulgaria, EOOD, BVX Holdings LLC and Bovie Holdings, Inc., (collectively, the “Company” or “we”, “our” or “us”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions we are required to make. Cash and Cash Equivalents Holdings of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Fair Values of Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk The carrying amounts of our financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature. In addition, we believe the book values of our mortgage payable and capital lease payable approximates their fair values as the terms of such obligations approximate the terms at which similar types of borrowing arrangements could be currently obtained. Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. With respect to cash, we frequently maintain cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts. Derivative Financial Instruments We generally do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow risks or market risks. However, certain financial instruments, such as warrants, which are indexed to our common stock, are classified as liabilities when either (a) the holder possesses rights to net-cash settlement or (b) physical or net-share settlement is not within our control. In such instances, net-cash settlement is assumed for financial accounting and reporting purposes, even if the terms of the underlying contracts do not always provide for net-cash settlement. Such financial instruments are initially recorded and continuously carried, at fair value. Determining the fair value of these instruments involves judgment and the use of certain relevant assumptions including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, historical volatility and stock price, estimated life of the derivative, anti-dilution provisions and conversion/redemption privileges. The use of different assumptions or changes in those assumptions could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our credit terms for our billings range from net 10 days to net 60 days, depending on the customer agreement. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due if payments are not made in accordance with such agreements and an allowance is generally recorded for accounts that become three months past due, or sooner if there are other indicators that the receivables may not be recovered. Customary collection efforts are initiated and receivables are written off when we determine they are not collectible and abandon these collection efforts. We gave negotiated sales volume discounts, which amounted to approximately $0.6 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Sales are reported net of all discounts. We evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for adequacy based upon our periodic review of the collectability of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to pay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Management believes that the allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are, or were, adequate to provide for possible bad debts. With respect to receivables, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 42.9% and 48.0% of trade receivables as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively and 54.4%, 58.3% and 61.0% of net revenues for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In 2016, McKesson accounted for 15.9% and National Distribution & Contracting Inc. accounted for 9.8% of our sales. In 2015, McKesson accounted for 18.6% and National Distribution & Contracting Inc. accounted for 13.3% of our sales. In 2014, National Distribution & Contracting Inc. accounted for 13.9% of our sales. No other customer accounted for more than ten percent of our sales in 2014. Inventories and Repair Parts Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Factory overhead costs are allocated to inventory manufactured in-house based upon labor hours. We monitor usage reports to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the item and adjust the inventory for estimated obsolescence or unusable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventories consisted of the following:
(In thousands) | December 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015
Raw materials | $ | 4,521 |  |  | $ | 5,110 |
Finished goods | 3,048 |  |  | 2,080 |
Gross inventories | 7,569 |  |  | 7,190 |
Less: reserve for obsolescence | (1,411 | ) |  | (1,233 | )
Inventories, net | $ | 6,158 |  |  | $ | 5,957 |
The Company recorded changes in excess and obsolete inventory totaling approximately $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $2.0 million during 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The change in 2014 was related to management updates to the commercial plan, book to physical inventory adjustments at both the Clearwater facility and consignments at foreign suppliers and other adjustments. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Betterments and large improvements, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized, whereas maintenance and repairs and small improvements are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives are: machinery and equipment, 3-10 years; buildings, 39 years; molds, 7-15 years and furniture and fixtures, 5-10 years. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist of licenses, purchased technology and brand name and trademarks. The licenses and purchased technology are being amortized by the straight-line method over a 5-17 year period commencing with the date they were placed in service. Brand name and trademark qualifies as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and is not subject to amortization. Intangibles with indefinite lives are analyzed for impairment annually or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. If impaired, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Management concluded that the assigned value at December 31, 2016 of approximately $1.5 million was not impaired and is reasonable. Other Long-Lived Assets We review other long-lived assets for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may have been impaired. This circumstance exists when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In those cases an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the assets’ carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Any impairment losses are not restored in the future if the fair value increases. At December 31, 2016, we believe the remaining carrying values of our long-lived assets are recoverable. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when title has been transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or receipt by customer for FOB destination terms. The following policies apply to our major categories of revenue transactions:
• | The majority of our sales to customers are evidenced by firm purchase orders. Generally, title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer when the product is shipped. Payment by the customer is due under fixed payment terms.
• | Product returns are only accepted at our discretion and in accordance with our “Returned Goods Policy”. Historically, the level of product returns has not been significant. We accrue for sales returns, rebates and allowances based upon an analysis of historical customer returns and credits, rebates, discounts and current market conditions.
• | Our terms of sale to customers generally do not include any obligations to perform future services. Limited warranties are generally provided for sales and provisions for warranty are provided at the time of product sale based upon an analysis of historical data.
• | Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling charges are included in sales. Shipping and handling costs included in cost of sales were approximately $0.2 million, $0.1 million and $0.1 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Advertising Costs All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amounts of advertising costs were approximately $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. FASB ASC 718 requires recognizing compensation costs for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based upon the awards’ grant date fair value. The standard covers employee stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards. For stock options, we use a trinomial lattice option-pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock option awards and recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting periods. Litigation Contingencies From time to time, we are exposed to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and use various methods to resolve these matters in a manner that we believe serves the best interest of the Company and our stockholders. There can be no assurance these actions or other third party assertions will be resolved without costly litigation, or in a manner that is not adverse to our financial position. We do not believe that any of the currently identified claims or litigation matters will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. However, given uncertainties associated with any litigation, if our assessments prove to be wrong, or if additional information becomes available such that we estimate that there is a possible loss or possible range of loss associated with these contingencies, then we would record the minimum estimated liability, which could materially impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Tax Effects of Stock-Based Compensation We will only recognize a tax benefit from windfall tax deductions for stock-based awards in additional paid-in capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax attributes currently available have been utilized. Net Loss Per Common Share We compute basic earnings (loss) attributable to common shareholders per share by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders gives effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive shares is calculated using the treasury method which reduces the effective number of shares by the amount of shares we could purchase with the proceeds of assumed exercises. In 2015 and 2016, the diluted net income per share calculated included the dilutive effect of the employee stock options, warrants and the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock because their effects were dilutive. In 2014, the net loss per share calculated when including the dilutive effect of the employee stock options and warrants are excluded from diluted net loss per common share calculations as of such dates because they are anti-dilutive and results in basic and diluted loss per share to be equivalent. Research and Development Costs With the exception of development costs that are purchased from another enterprise and have alternative future use, research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. We have expended approximately $2.6 million and $2.2 million and $1.4 million for the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014 respectively. Research and Development Costs for Others For research and development activities that are partially or completely funded by other parties and when the obligation is incurred solely to perform contractual services, expenses are charged to cost of sales and all revenues resulting from such activities are shown as sales. Income Taxes We utilize the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in FASB ASC 740. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. Management evaluated the positive and negative evidence in determining the realizability of the net deferred tax asset. In determining the need for valuation allowance, we reviewed historic operating results, updated 2016 actual results, as well as future income forecasts based on the projections, management concluded that it was not more likely that the Company should realize its net deferred tax assets through future operating results and the reversal of taxable temporary differences. If in the future we determine that we will be able to realize any of the net deferred tax assets, we will make adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would increase our income in the period that the determination is made. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available as of the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit that may potentially be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements.
