SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract] |
Principles of Consolidation |
| (a) | Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition |
| (b) | Revenue Recognition
The majority of our bioanalytical and analytical research service contracts involve the development of analytical methods and the processing of bioanalytical samples for pharmaceutical companies and generally provide for a fixed fee for each sample processed. Revenue is recognized under the specific performance method of accounting and the related direct costs are recognized when services are performed. Our preclinical research service contracts generally consist of preclinical studies, and revenue is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. Revisions in profit estimates, if any, are reflected on a cumulative basis in the period in which such revisions become known. The establishment of contract prices and total contract costs involves estimates we make at the inception of the contract. These estimates could change during the term of the contract and impact the revenue and costs reported in the consolidated financial statements. Revisions to estimates have generally not been material. Research service contract fees received upon acceptance are deferred until earned, and classified within customer advances. Unbilled revenues represent revenues earned under contracts in advance of billings. Product revenue from sales of equipment not requiring installation, testing or training is recognized upon shipment to customers. One product includes internally developed software and requires installation, testing and training, which occur concurrently. Revenue from these sales is recognized upon completion of the installation, testing and training when the services are bundled with the equipment sale.
Cash Equivalents |
| (c) | Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2014, we did not have any cash accounts that exceeded federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable |
| (d) | Accounts Receivable
We perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers' financial conditions and generally do not require collateral on trade accounts receivable. We account for trade receivables based on the amounts billed to customers. Past due receivables are determined based on contractual terms. We do not accrue interest on any of our trade receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by management based on our historical losses, specific customer circumstances, and general economic conditions. Periodically, management reviews accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables when all attempts to collect have failed. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $54 and $87 at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. A summary of activity in our allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
Opening balance |  | $ | 87 |  |  | $ | 123 |
Charged to expense |  |  | 12 |  |  |  | 41 |
Accounts recovered |  |  | — |  |  |  | (18 | )
Accounts written off |  |  | (45 | ) |  |  | (59 | )
Ending balance |  | $ | 54 |  |  | $ | 87 |
Inventories |
| (e) | Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method of accounting. We evaluate inventories on a regular basis to identify inventory on hand that may be obsolete or in excess of current and future projected market demand. For inventory deemed to be obsolete, we provide a reserve. Inventory that is in excess of current and projected use is reduced by an allowance to a level that approximates the estimate of future demand. A summary of activity in our inventory obsolescence is as follows for the years ended September 30:
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
Opening Balance |  | $ | 359 |  |  | $ | 310 |
Provision for Slow Moving & Obsolesence |  |  | 29 |  |  |  | 49 |
Write-off of Obsolete & Slow Moving Inventory |  |  | (89 | ) |  |  | - |
Closing Balance |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | $ | 299 |  |  | $ | 359 |
Property and Equipment |
| (f) | Property and Equipment
We record property and equipment at cost, including interest capitalized during the period of construction of major facilities. We compute depreciation, including amortization on capital leases, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which we estimate to be: buildings and improvements, 34 to 40 years; machinery and equipment, 5 to 10 years, and office furniture and fixtures, 10 years. Depreciation expense was $1,589 in fiscal 2014 and $1,715 in fiscal 2013. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment, net, as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 consisted of the following:
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
Land and improvements |  | $ | 914 |  |  | $ | 914 |
Buildings and improvements |  |  | 21,374 |  |  |  | 21,250 |
Machinery and equipment |  |  | 18,135 |  |  |  | 17,571 |
Office furniture and fixtures |  |  | 690 |  |  |  | 690 |
Construction in progress |  |  | 13 |  |  |  | 92 |
|  |  | 41,126 |  |  |  | 40,517 |
Less: accumulated depreciation |  |  | (25,177 | ) |  |  | (23,604 | )
Net property and equipment |  | $ | 15,949 |  |  | $ | 16,913 |
Long-Lived Assets including Goodwill |
| (g) | Long-Lived Assets including Goodwill
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized of the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. We carry goodwill at cost. Other intangible assets with definite lives are stated at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. All intangible assets acquired that are obtained through contractual or legal right, or are capable of being separately sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, are recognized as an asset apart from goodwill. Goodwill is not amortized. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. First, we can assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We elected to bypass the qualitative assessment aspect of this guidance. We proceeded directly to a two-step quantitative process. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit, as computed primarily by present value cash flow calculations, to its book carrying value, including goodwill. We do not believe that market value is indicative of the true fair value of the Company mainly due to average daily trading volumes of less than 1%. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and we would then complete step 2 in order to measure the impairment loss. In step 2, the implied fair value is compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, we would recognize an impairment loss equal to the difference. The implied fair value is calculated by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit (as determined in step 1) to all of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized intangible assets) and any excess in fair value that is not assigned to the assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. The discount rate, gross margin and sales growth rates are material assumptions utilized in our calculations of the present value cash flows used to estimate the fair value of the reporting units when performing the annual goodwill impairment test. Our reporting units with goodwill at September 30, 2014 are Vetronics, which is included in our Products segment, bioanalytical services and preclinical services, which are both included in our contract research services segment, based on the discrete financial information available which is reviewed by management. We utilize a cash flow approach in estimating the fair value of the reporting units, where the discount rate reflects a weighted average cost of capital rate. The cash flow model used to derive fair value is sensitive to the discount rate and sales growth assumptions used. We performed our annual goodwill impairment test for all reporting units mentioned above at September 30, 2014. The estimated fair value of our Vetronics reporting unit was less than its related book value and we determined that its goodwill balance was impaired. This was a result of the rates of growth, earnings and cash flow expectations for future performance that were below the Company's previous projections. In late 2014 we began shifting our market focus and will no longer actively market the Vetronics product offering. However, we will continue to service the units in the field. Accordingly, step two of the goodwill impairment test was completed for the Vetronics reporting unit which resulted in an impairment charge totaling $374 in the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2014. There was no indication of impairment for the Bioanalytical Services and Preclinical Services reporting units as of September 30, 2014. Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes and to estimate future cash flows. Assumptions used in our impairment evaluations, such as forecasted sales growth rates and our cost of capital or discount rate, are based on the best available market information. Changes in these estimates or a continued decline in general economic conditions could change our conclusion regarding an impairment of goodwill and potentially result in a non-cash impairment loss in a future period. The assumptions used in our impairment testing could be adversely affected by certain risks. There have been no significant events since the timing of our impairment tests that would have triggered additional impairment testing. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, remaining recorded goodwill was $1,009 and $1,383, respectively. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended September 30, 2014, are as follows:
|  | Vetronics |  |  | Bioanalytical Services |  |  | Preclinical Services |  |  | Total |
Balance as of October 1, 2013 |  | $ | 374 |  |  | $ | 971 |  |  | $ | 38 |  |  | $ | 1,383 |
Impairment loss |  |  | (374 | ) |  |  | - |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | (374 | )
Balance as of September 30, 2014 |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 971 |  |  | $ | 38 |  |  | $ | 1,009 |
We amortize costs of patents and licenses. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the amortization expense associated with these was $8 and $8, respectively.
Advertising Expense |
| (h) | Advertising Expense
We expense advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $41 and $40 for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation |
| (i) | Stock-Based Compensation
We have a stock-based employee compensation plan and a stock-based employee and outside director compensation plan, which are described more fully in Note 9. All options granted under these plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant. We expense the estimated fair value of stock options over the vesting periods of the grants. Our policy is to recognize expense for awards subject to graded vesting using the straight-line attribution method, reduced for estimated forfeitures. We use a binomial option-pricing model as our method of valuation for share-based awards, requiring us to make certain assumptions about the future, which are more fully described in Note 9.
Income Taxes |
| (j) | Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We record valuation allowances based on a determination of the expected realization of tax assets. We may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The amount of the accrual for which an exposure exists is measured as the largest amount of benefit determined on a cumulative probability basis that we believe is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement of the position. We record interest and penalties accrued in relation to uncertain income tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Any changes in the liability for uncertain tax positions would impact our effective tax rate. We do not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
| (k) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The provisions of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and provides the disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. This Topic also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
| • | Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
| • | Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
| • | Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
In May 2011, we issued Class A and B Warrants that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We recorded these warrants as a liability determining the fair value at inception on May 11, 2011. Subsequent quarterly fair value measurements, using the Black Scholes model which is considered a level 2 measurement, are calculated with fair value changes charged to the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Class B Warrants expired in May 2012 and the liability was reduced to zero. The assumptions used to compute the fair value of the warrants at September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:
|  | September 30, 2014 |  |  | September 30, 2013 |
|  | Warrant A |  |  | Warrant A |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 0.41 | % |  |  | 0.51 | %
Dividend yield |  |  | 0.00 | % |  |  | 0.00 | %
Volatility of the Company's common stock |  |  | 63.58 | % |  |  | 71.15 | %
Expected life of the options (years) |  |  | 1.6 |  |  |  | 2.6 |
Fair value per unit |  | $ | 0.846 |  |  | $ | 0.444 |
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and other accruals approximate their fair values because of their nature and respective duration. The carrying value of the note payable entered into this fiscal year approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates. We use an interest rate swap, designated as a hedge, to fix 60% of the debt from our new Huntington credit facility. We did not enter into this derivative transaction to speculate on interest rates, but to hedge interest rate risk. The swap is recognized on the balance sheet at its fair value. The fair value is determined utilizing a cash flow model that takes into consideration interest rates and other inputs observable in the market from similar types of instruments, and is therefore considered a level 2 measurement. Using a level 3 measurement, the fair value of the goodwill of the Vectronics reporting unit was $0 with a carrying value of $374, leading to the goodwill impairment expense in fiscal 2014 of $374. The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level as of September 30, 2014, for the Company's financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
|  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |
Interest rate swap agreement |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 21 |  |  | $ | - |
Class A warrant liability |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 676 |  |  | $ | - |
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level as of September 30, 2013, for the Company's financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Class A warrant liability |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 612 |  |  | $ | - |
Use of Estimates |
| (l) | Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates as part of the issuance of these consolidated financial statements include but are not limited to the determination of fair values, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, deferred tax valuations, depreciation, impairment charges and stock compensation. Our actual results could differ from those estimates.
Research and Development |
| (m) | Research and Development
In fiscal 2014 and 2013, we incurred $658 and $454, respectively, on research and development. Separate from our contract research services business, we maintain applications research and development to enhance our products business. We expense research and development costs as incurred.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
| (n) | Comprehensive Income (Loss)
We report comprehensive income (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other comprehensive income (loss) represents changes in shareholders' equity and is comprised of foreign currency translation adjustments as well as changes in the fair value of our interest rate swap.
Foreign Currency |
| (o) | Foreign Currency
For our subsidiary outside of the United States that operates in a local currency environment, income and expense items are translated to United States dollars at the monthly average rates of exchange prevailing during the year, assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates and equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments are accumulated in a separate component of shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheets and are included in the determination of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) in the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity. Transaction gains and losses are included in the determination of net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The balance in AOCI at September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $28 and $32, respectively.
Interest Rate Swap |
| (p) | Interest Rate Swap
The Company uses an interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge to fix 60% of the Huntington debt due to mitigate changes in interest rates. The changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) to the extent effective. We assess on an ongoing basis whether the derivative that is used in the hedging transaction is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged debt. The terms of the interest rate swaps match the terms of the underlying debt resulting in no ineffectiveness. When we determine that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued and we reclassify gains or losses that were accumulated in AOCI to other income (expense), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The balance in AOCI at September 30, 2014 and 2013 was ($21) and $0, respectively.
Reclassifications | (q) Reclassifications Certain amounts in the fiscal 2013 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2014 presentation without affecting previously reported net income or stockholders' equity.
Debt issuance costs | (r) Debt issuance costs The Company capitalizes costs associated with the issuance of debt and amortizes them as additional interest expense over the lives of the debt on a straight-line basis. Upon prepayment of the related debt, the Company accelerates the recognition of an appropriate amount of the costs as refinancing or extinguishment of debt. Additional expense arising from such prepayments during fiscal 2014 was $48. On May 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (“Agreement”) with Huntington Bank. The Agreement includes a term loan maturing in May 2019. The term loan proceeds were used to pay off the Regions replacement note payable. In connection with the credit facility, the Company recorded fees of $134 which were deferred and will be amortized over the life of the credit facility. In addition, the Company accelerated the recognition of the deferred issuance costs from the previous Regions replacement note payable extension.
New Accounting Pronouncements | (s) New Accounting Pronouncements Effective October 1, 2017, the Company will be required to adopt the new guidance of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires the Company to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company will be required to adopt Topic 606 either on a full retrospective basis to each prior reporting period presented or on a modified retrospective basis with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application. If the Company elects the modified retrospective approach, it will be required to provide additional disclosures of the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period, as compared to the guidance that was in effect before the change, and an explanation of the reasons for significant changes. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that requires that an entity net its liability for unrecognized tax positions against a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carry-forward when settlement in this manner is available under the tax law. The Company will adopt this guidance effective at the beginning of its 2015 fiscal year. The adoption of this updated authoritative guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2013, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends the presentation of accumulated other comprehensive income and clarifies how to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance, which became effective for the Company on a prospective basis at the beginning of its 2014 fiscal year, requires footnote disclosures regarding the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income by component and the line items affected in the statements of operations.
