Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies | NATURE OF BUSINESS — Koss Corporation ("Koss"), a Delaware corporation, and its 100%-owned subsidiary (collectively the "Company"), reports its finances as a single reporting segment, as the Company’s principal business line is the design, manufacture and sale of stereo headphones and related accessories. The Company leases its plant and office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The domestic market is served by domestic sales representatives and independent manufacturers' representatives working directly with certain retailers, distributors, and original equipment manufacturers. International markets are served by domestic sales representatives and sales personnel in the Netherlands and Russia which utilize independent distributors in several foreign countries. The Company has one subsidiary, Koss U.K. Limited ("Koss UK"), which was formed to comply with certain European Union ("EU") requirements. Koss UK is non-operating and holds no assets. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Koss and its subsidiary, Koss UK, which is a 100%-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. REVENUE RECOGNITION — The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; shipment and delivery have occurred; the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured. When these criteria are generally satisfied, the Company recognizes revenue. The Company also offers certain customers the right to return products that do not meet the standards agreed on with the customer. The Company continuously monitors such product returns and cannot guarantee that they will continue to experience the same return rates that they have experienced in the past. The Company records a provision for estimated returns based on prior product rates of return. Any significant increase in product quality failure rates and the resulting credit returns could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operating results for the period or periods in which such returns materialize. The Company provides for certain sales incentives. The Company records a provision for estimated incentives based upon the incentives offered to customers on product related sales in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. The provision is recorded as a reduction of sales. The Company also records a provision for estimated sales returns and allowances on product related sales in the same period as the related revenues are recorded. These estimates are based on historical sales returns, analysis of credit memo data and other known factors. If the historical data the Company uses to calculate these estimates does not properly reflect future returns, adjustments may be required in future periods. SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS — Shipping and handling costs charged to customers have been included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company have been included in cost of goods sold. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT — Research and development activities charged to operations as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations amounted to $427,009 and $213,653 in 2018 and 2017, respectively. ADVERTISING COSTS — Advertising costs included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations were $65,279 in 2018 and $147,797 in 2017. Such costs are expensed as incurred. INCOME TAXES — The Company operates as a C Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Amounts provided for income tax expense are based on income reported for financial statement purposes and do not necessarily represent amounts currently payable under tax laws. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. The differences relate principally to different methods used for depreciation and amortization for income tax purposes, net operating losses, capitalization requirements of the Code, allowances for doubtful accounts, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory, stock-based compensation, warranty reserves, and other income tax related carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. (LOSS) PER COMMON AND COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENT SHARE — (Loss) per common and common stock equivalent share is calculated under the provisions of Topic 260 in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” (loss) per share. Basic (loss) per common and common stock equivalent share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net (loss) by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) per common and common stock equivalent share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. See Note 11 for additional information on (loss) per common and common stock equivalent share. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS — The Company considers depository accounts and investments with a maturity at the date of acquisition and expected usage of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash on deposit at a commercial bank located in the United States of America. The Company periodically has cash balances in excess of insured amounts. The Company has not experienced and does not expect to incur any losses on these deposits. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE — Accounts receivable consists of unsecured trade receivables due from customers. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded for significant past due receivable balances based on a review of the past due item and general economic conditions. See Note 3 for additional information on accounts receivable. INVENTORIES — The Company’s inventory is valued at the lower of last-in, first-out ("LIFO") cost or market. The carrying value of inventory is reviewed for impairment on at least a quarterly basis or more frequently if warranted due to changes in market conditions. See Note 4 for additional information on inventory. EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS — Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Major expenditures for property and equipment and significant renewals are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their costs and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in operations. See Note 5 for additional information on equipment and leasehold improvements. LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES — Life insurance policies are stated at cash surrender value or at the amount the Company would receive in the case of split-dollar arrangements. Increases in cash surrender value are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is where the annual premiums are recorded. PRODUCT WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS — Estimated future warranty costs related to products are charged to cost of goods sold during the period the related revenue is recognized. The product warranty liability reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable obligations under those warranties. See Note 9 for additional information on product warranty obligations. DEFERRED COMPENSATION — The Company’s deferred compensation liabilities are for a current and former officer and are calculated based on compensation, years of service and mortality tables. The related expense is calculated using the net present value of the expected payments and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 10 for additional information on deferred compensation. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS — Cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value based on the short maturity of these instruments. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS — The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of equipment and leasehold improvements annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an asset might be impaired. If an asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Management determines fair value using an undiscounted future cash flow analysis or other accepted valuation techniques. No impairments of the Company's long-lived assets were recorded in the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. LEGAL COSTS — All legal costs related to litigation are charged to operations as incurred, except settlements, which are expensed when a claim is probable and can be estimated. Recoveries of legal costs are recorded when the amount and items to be paid are confirmed by the insurance company. Proceeds from the settlement of legal disputes are recorded in income when the amounts are determinable and the collection is certain. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION — The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 12. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation". Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS — In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09 (Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a five-step analysis to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The underlying principle is to recognize revenue when promised goods or services transfer to the customer. The amount of revenue recognized is to reflect the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. The Company performed a detailed assessment of the new standard through review of customer contracts and identification of performance obligations that exist. Based on our evaluation, we will adopt the new standard using the full retrospective transition method. The Company will recast prior period consolidated financial statements to reflect full retrospective adoption beginning with the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018. The impact of adopting the new standard on the Company's net sales and net loss for the year ended June 30, 2018 is not material. The immaterial impact of adopting Topic 606 primarily relates to the deferral of revenue for those sales with a lifetime warranty. Under Topic 606, the lifetime warranty is a performance obligation, which is different than the Company's current practice. The Company expects the standard to have a material impact on the consolidated balance sheet as the result of an adjustment to deferred revenues, accrued liabilities, and retained earnings as of July 1, 2017 to reflect the cumulative change. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (Topic 842), Leases. This new standard revises existing lease guidance and requires all leases to be recorded on a company's balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures about leases. The Company plans to early adopt and reflect the new standard in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2018. The Company has completed the assessment of the new lease standard through review of lease contracts and calculation of the required adjustments. The result of our assessment is that the Company expects an immaterial impact on its consolidated statements of operations and a material impact as a result of recording the right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make 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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS — Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
