Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Business Description and Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1 - Business Description and Significant Accounting Policies Business Description Oblong, Inc. (“Oblong” or “we” or “us” or the “Company”) was formed as a Delaware corporation in May 2000 and is a provider of patented multi-stream collaboration technologies and managed services for video collaboration and network applications. Prior to March 6, 2020, Oblong, Inc. was named Glowpoint, Inc. (“Glowpoint”). On March 6, 2020, Glowpoint changed its name to Oblong, Inc. Basis of Presentation The Company's fiscal year ends on December 31, of each calendar year. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. In the opinion of the Company's management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The December 31, 2020 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document was derived from audited consolidated financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2021 (the “2020 10-K”). The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oblong and our 100%-owned subsidiaries, (i) GP Communications, LLC (“GP Communications”), whose business function is to provide interstate telecommunications services for regulatory purposes, (ii) Oblong Industries, and (iii) the following subsidiaries of Oblong Industries: Oblong Industries Europe, S.L. and Oblong Europe Limited. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The U.S. Dollar is the functional currency for all subsidiaries. Segments The Company currently operates in two segments: 1) the Oblong (formerly Glowpoint) business, which includes managed services for video collaboration and network applications, and 2) the Oblong Industries business, which includes products and services for visual collaboration technologies. See Note 11 - Segment Reporting for further discussion. Use of Estimates Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from the estimates made. We continually evaluate estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements for reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based upon such periodic evaluation. The significant areas of estimation include determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the estimated lives and recoverability of property and equipment, and intangible assets, the inputs used in the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets in connection with our impairment tests, and the inputs used in the fair value of equity based awards as well as the values ascribed to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination. Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our 2020 10-K, and there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of either the asset’s useful life or the related lease term. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded asset impairment charges on property and equipment of $31,000 for the discontinued use of, or disposal of, property and equipment. These charges are included in “Impairment Charges” on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. There were no impairment charges related to property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13 as amended, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326).” Topic 326 introduces an impairment model that is based on expected credit losses, rather than incurred losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments (e.g. accounts receivable, loans and held-to-maturity securities), including certain off-balance sheet financial instruments (e.g., loan commitments). The expected credit losses should consider historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, including estimates of prepayments, over the contractual term. Financial instruments with similar risk characteristics may be grouped together when estimating expected credit losses. Topic 326 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
