Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2014 and filed with the SEC on December 29, 2014. There have been no changes in significant accounting policies since September 30, 2014. 
 
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing
 
On August 18, 2015 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Boomerang Sub, Inc., Boomerang USA Corp. and Boomerang MP Holdings, Inc. (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court") seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 ("Chapter 11") of Title 11 of the United States Code ("Bankruptcy Code"). The Chapter 11 case is being administered under the caption "In re Boomerang Systems, Inc., et al," Case No. 15-11729 (the "Chapter 11 Case"). The Company remains in possession of its assets and continues to operate its business as a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
 
Operation and Implication of the Bankruptcy Filing
 
Under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Filing automatically stayed most actions against the Company, including all actions to collect indebtedness incurred prior to the Petition Date or to exercise control over the Company's property. Accordingly, although the Bankruptcy Filing triggered defaults for certain of the Company’s debt obligations, creditors are stayed from taking any actions as a result of such defaults. Absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Company’s pre-petition liabilities are subject to being restructured under a reorganization plan. As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. The Company, operating as a debtor-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Code, may, subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court, sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Further, a confirmed reorganization plan or other arrangement may materially change the treatment, amounts and classifications in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company has requested, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval to retain legal and financial professionals to advise the Company in connection with the Bankruptcy Filing and certain other professionals to provide services and advice in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, the Company may seek Bankruptcy Court approval to retain additional professionals.
 
Reorganization Plan
 
In order for the Company to emerge successfully from Chapter 11, the Company must obtain the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of a reorganization plan, which will enable the Company to transition from Chapter 11 into a successfully reorganized company. The reorganization plan would be subject to creditors' vote and class approval. In connection with a reorganization plan, the Company will require exit financing, to meet its near-term and longer term liquidity needs. The Company’s ability to obtain such approval and financing will depend on, among other things, the timing and outcome of various ongoing matters related to the Bankruptcy Filing. A reorganization plan determines the rights and satisfaction of claims of various creditors and security holders, and is subject to the ultimate outcome of negotiations and Bankruptcy Court decisions ongoing through the date on which the reorganization plan is confirmed.
 
The Company intends to propose a reorganization plan within the time that the Bankruptcy Code gives the Company the exclusive right to file a reorganization plan, as the same may be extended with approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company presently expects that any proposed reorganization plan will provide, among other things, mechanisms for settlement of claims against the Company’s assets and treatment of the Company’s existing equity and debt holders. Any proposed reorganization plan will be subject to revision prior to submission to the Bankruptcy Court based upon discussions with the Company’s creditors and other interested parties, and thereafter in response to creditor claims and objections and the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure approval for the Company’s proposed reorganization plan from the Bankruptcy Court or that the Company’s proposed plan will be accepted by lenders.
 
Going Concern
 
The Company incurred net losses of approximately $20.1 million, $2.7 million and $11.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2015, and the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and had a stockholders’ deficit of $16.05 million as of June 30, 2015. The Bankruptcy Filing is intended to bolster the Company’s liquidity and enable the Company to focus on enhancing its systems and strengthening its operational capabilities. The Company has obtained, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, a debtor-in-possession credit facility (the “DIP Financing”) and, if the Company is successful in obtaining approval of the DIP Financing, such financing would be used to enhance liquidity and working capital. The Company is also developing a strategic plan for the ongoing operation of the Company’s business. Successful implementation of the Company’s strategic plan, however, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the Company’s ability to obtain required DIP Financing and comply with the financial and other covenants related to such financing, the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the DIP Financing and the Company’s reorganization plan and the Company’s ability to successfully implement the Company’s strategic plan and obtain exit financing, among other factors. As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainty. While operating as a debtor-in-possession under Chapter 11, the Company may sell or otherwise dispose of or liquidate assets or settle liabilities, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court or as otherwise permitted in the ordinary course of business (and subject to the restrictions related to the DIP Financing), for amounts other than those reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, the reorganization plan could materially change the treatment, amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern or as a consequence of the Bankruptcy Filing.
