Disposition of Site Equipment to Be Installed and Fixed Assets

(11) DISPOSITION OF SITE EQUIPMENT TO BE INSTALLED AND FIXED ASSETS

 

Site equipment to be installed consists of fixed assets related to the Company’s tablet platform that have not yet been placed in service and are stated at cost. These assets remain in site equipment to be installed until they are deployed at the Company’s customer sites. For tablet platform customers that are under sales-type lease arrangements, the cost of the equipment is recognized in direct costs upon installation. For all other tablet platform customers, the cost of the equipment is reclassified to fixed assets upon installation and depreciated over its estimated useful life. The Company evaluates the recoverability of site equipment to be installed and fixed assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated. If the carrying amount of the asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

Based on the Company’s on-going review of its equipment in site equipment to be installed and in fixed assets, the Company determined that it would no longer be deploying some of the Company’s older tablets, related cases and card readers. Accordingly, the Company wrote off approximately $188,000 related to this equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The expense associated with this write-off is in direct operating costs in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. Due to uncertainty of the longer-term impact COVID-19 will have on the Company’s business, the Company did not record any additional equipment write-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2020, but will continue to monitor the recoverability of these assets and recognize any additional write-offs during the period in which it determines that impairment exists.
