Description of Business

magicJack VocalTec Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) is the cloud communications leader that invented the magicJack device as well as other telecommunication products and services. The Company is a vertically integrated group of companies, with capabilities including Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (“VoIP”) services and related equipment sales, and development of the magicJack device. The Company also provides VoIP services and related equipment to small to medium sized businesses, wholesales telephone service to VoIP providers and telecommunication carriers and provides hosted Unified Communication as a Service (“UCaaS”) and related hardware and network equipment primarily to medium-to-large, multi-location enterprise customers.

magicJack devices weigh about one ounce and plug into the USB port on a computer or into a power adapter and high speed Internet source, providing users with complete phone service for home, business and travel. magicJack devices come with the right to access the Company’s servers ("access right"), which provides customers the ability to obtain free telephone services. Access rights are renewable. The Company currently offers the magicJack GO version of the device, which has its own CPU and can connect a regular phone directly to the user’s broadband modem/router and function as a standalone phone without using a computer.  The sale of devices is done through distribution channels that include retailers, wholesalers and direct to customer sales via the Company’s web-site.

The Company also offers magicJack mobile apps, which are applications that allow users to make and receive telephone calls through their smart phones or devices. The Company currently offers the magicApp, magicJack Connect and magicJack Spark. The magicApp and magicJack Connect are mobile apps available for both iOS and Android. In 2017, the Company launched magicJack Spark on iOS and Android devices.  The mobile apps allow customers to place and receive telephone calls in the U.S. or Canada on their mobile devices through either an existing or new magicJack account. The mobile apps also give users the ability to add a second phone number to their smart phone for a monthly or annual fee. Customers may purchase international minutes to place telephone calls through the magicJack device or mobile apps to locations outside of the U.S. and Canada.

 

On May 8, 2018, the Company and B. Riley executed an amendment to the Merger Agreement documenting B. Riley’s intent to reorganize the Company’s structure as soon as practicable after the closing date of the Transaction to transfer ownership of YMax Corporation and subsidiaries to a US subsidiary of B. Riley.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Israel in 1989 and is domiciled in Netanya, Israel, with executive and administrative offices, and a customer care call center in West Palm Beach, Florida. In addition, the Company has offices for technology management in Franklin, Tennessee, research and development in Plano, Texas, Alpharetta, Georgia and Warsaw, Poland and the UCaaS provider in West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.  Management believes, however, that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The balance sheet at December 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are the basis for the discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. References to authoritative accounting literature in this report, where applicable, are based on the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States Dollar (“U.S. Dollar”), which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which its consolidated operations are conducted. Transactions and balances originally denominated in U.S. Dollars are presented at their original amounts. Transactions and balances in currencies other than U.S. Dollars, including New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”) and Polish Zlotny (“PLN”), are re-measured in dollars and any gains or losses are recognized in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations in the period they occur. Approximately 84% and 85% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, were from sales to customers located in the United States. Approximately 85% and 86% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, were from sales to customers located in the United States.

Adoption of ASC 606 “Contracts with Customers”

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASC 606”) for revenue recognition.  The new standard requires entities to recognize revenue through the application of a five-step model, which includes identification of the contract, identification of the performance obligations, determination of the transaction price, allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognition of revenue as the entity satisfies the performance obligations.  The Company adopted the requirements of ASC 606 using the modified retrospective transition method under which the standard was applied only to the most current period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the new standard was recognized at the date of initial application as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.  The Company applied the guidance to contracts that were not completed at the date of initial application.  Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC Topic 605. The cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 increased retained earnings by approximately $1.3 million, with offsetting adjustments to deferred revenue and deferred costs, not including the tax impact of $0.4 million as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2018 as follows:

 

Adjustments for the initial application of ASC 606
Deferred costs/Contract costs		$	(1,246	)
Deferred revenue/Contract liabilities			2,634
Other			(88	)
Total adjustment		$	1,300

 

A summary of the significant changes to accounting policies are set out below:

 

Products/ services		Changes to accounting policies
magicJack device revenue		Under ASC 605, the device and initial access right were accounted for as a combined unit of accounting and recognized ratably over the service term. Under ASC 606, the transaction price for magicJack device sales is now allocated between equipment and service based on stand-alone selling prices. Revenues allocated to equipment are recognized upon delivery (when control transfers to the customer), and service revenue is recognized ratably over the service term.
		Direct sales include shipping charges and a 30-day free trial, during which customers can return the device and cancel the service, before payment. Prior to 2018, the Company did not recognize revenue until the 30-day trial period had expired and a customer’s credit card had been charged, at which point revenues for hardware, service and shipping were recognized ratably over the remaining service term. As of January 1, 2018, the Company no longer delays revenue recognition for devices sold with a right of return and instead estimates the returns as part of the transaction price using a six month rolling average of historical returns.  Revenues for hardware and shipping are recognized at the time of delivery and revenues for service are recognized ratably over the service term.
		For retail sales, there is a delay between shipment to the retailer and the ultimate sale to a customer (end-user). Prior to 2018, the Company deferred revenue recognition on retail sales for the delay period, after which revenue for both hardware and service were recognized ratably over the remaining access right period.  As of January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue for hardware based on delivery terms to the retailer and revenue for service is deferred for the delay period and recognized ratably over the remaining access right period.
magicJack device cost		Prior to 2018, direct costs of producing magicJack devices were deferred on shipment and charged to cost of sales ratably over the initial access right period. As of January 1, 2018, direct costs of producing magicJack devices are charged to cost of sales when control transfers, consistent with the hardware revenue recognition.
Access right renewal costs		Prior to 2018, sales commissions associated with our multi-year service renewal plans were expensed as incurred at the time of sale.  Under ASC 606, these are considered incremental costs to obtain a customer contract, which are deferred and amortized to cost of sales over the periods of expected benefit. The Company utilizes the practical expedient permitting expensing of these costs when the expected amortization period is one year or less.
UCaaS costs		Under ASC 606, certain incentive commissions to partners are considered incremental costs to obtain a customer contract, which are deferred and amortized to cost of sales ratably over the contract term.

 

 

Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Accounting Policies”, Note 7, “Deferred Costs/Contract Costs and Deferred Revenue/Contract Liabilities” and Note 11, “Revenue” for further details.

Adoption of ASU 2016-16 “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory” (“ASU 2016-16”) which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs.  The ASU was applied retrospectively as an adjustment to retained earnings, for a decrease of approximately $0.2 million, with an offsetting adjustment to prepaid taxes.

Segments

In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company reported results of its operations in three separate reportable segments – “Core Consumer”, “Enterprise” and “SMB”.  During the first quarter of 2017, management restructured the Company to absorb within the Core Consumer segment, all of operations and functions of the SMB Segment which was based on the activities of magicJack SMB, Inc. (“SMB”).  Accordingly, this segment does not show activity for periods after March 31, 2017.

The majority of the Company’s Core Consumer segment revenues recognized were generated from sales of the magicJack product line and from the software access right that accompanies these products, which were $15.2 million and $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $46.1 million and $52.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company’s Core Consumer segment also provides its customers with the ability to make prepaid calls using the magicJack devices and mobile apps by purchasing prepaid minutes. Revenues generated from the usage of prepaid minutes were $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $2.8 million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company’s Enterprise segment was launched with the acquisition of North American Telecommunications Corporation d/b/a Broadsmart (“Broadsmart”) on March 16, 2016.  The majority of the Company’s Enterprise segment revenues recognized were generated from Broadsmart hosted UCaaS services and sales of hardware and equipment which were $2.5 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $8.0 million and $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

The Company’s SMB segment did not generate significant revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  Refer to Note 16, “Segment Reporting” for further details.

Basis of Consolidation

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of magicJack VocalTec and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications may have been made to prior period financial statement amounts to conform to the current presentation. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2018. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed on March 16, 2018.

Noncontrolling Interest

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company formed a new subsidiary and entered into a joint venture with an unrelated third party which resulted in the Company having a 60% controlling interest in the joint venture which sold high-technology residential consumer products. On March 31, 2017, this interest was reduced to 36% and on June 30, 2017 the Company sold its remaining interest to the unrelated third party.  Based on the difference between the sales price from the agreement and the carrying value of the asset, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million in general and administrative expense in the Core Consumer segment of the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017.  The operations of the joint venture for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were not significant to the Company’s financial statements.

 

A summary of significant accounting policies used in preparing the Company’s financial statements, including a summary of recent accounting pronouncements that may affect its financial statements in the future, follows:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates and judgments are revised periodically as required. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include allowances for billing adjustments and doubtful accounts, the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, income taxes, income tax valuation allowance, uncertain tax liabilities, the value of ordinary shares issued in asset acquisitions, business combinations or underlying the Company’s ordinary share options, and estimates of likely outcomes related to certain contingent liabilities.

The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company's estimates and assumptions are based on factors such as historical experience, trends within the Company and the telecommunications industry, general economic conditions and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of such assumptions form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available. Actual results may differ from the Company's estimates and assumptions as a result of varying market and economic conditions, and may result in lower revenues and net income.

Fair Value

The Company accounts for financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures", which provides a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. 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 judgements about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Valuation based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and it classifies such measurements within Level 1. Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. Fair value includes the consideration of nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or the Company) will not be fulfilled. For the Company's financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price. The Company’s assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value may include marketable securities and time deposits. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, all of them were Level 1 instruments. The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses are expected to approximate fair value because of their immediate availability, near term maturities or potential interest payments at settlement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity at acquisition of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Certain Risks and Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents generally consist of money market instruments.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in high quality financial institutions and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant risk on its cash accounts. The Company maintains accounts with various banks and brokerage organizations and constantly monitors the creditworthiness of these institutions. Cash accounts at each U.S. bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or FDIC up to $250 thousand in the aggregate and may exceed federally insured limits. Cash accounts at Israeli or Polish banks are not insured. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. At September 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $62.1 million, which included (i) $61.8 million in U.S. financial institutions, and (ii) $0.3 million in foreign financial institutions.

The Company’s non-interest bearing cash balances in U.S. banks, which included $1.3 million in one individual financial institution, were fully insured at September 30, 2018.  The Company had money market accounts with financial institutions with balances totaling approximately $60.5 million at September 30, 2018.

For the Core Consumer segment, no telecommunication carrier accounted for more than 10% of gross accounts receivable at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, no telecommunications carrier accounted for more than 10% of the segment’s total operating revenues.

For the Core Consumer segment, one U.S. retail customer accounted for approximately 11% of the segment’s gross accounts receivable at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, no retailer accounted for more than 10% of the segment’s total operating revenues.

For the Enterprise segment, two U.S. retail customers accounted for approximately 41% of gross accounts receivable at September 30, 2018. Two customers accounted for approximately 55% of gross accounts receivable at December 31, 2017.  For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, one customer accounted for approximately 19% and two customers accounted for approximately 27% of the segment’s total operating revenues, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, one customer accounted for approximately 19% and two customers accounted for approximately 30% of the segment’s total operating revenues, respectively.

Investments

Investments consist of interest bearing time deposits with maturity dates of greater than 90 days totaling $369 thousand at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The fair value of time deposits at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was determined based on face value, which approximates fair value and is a Level 1 input. There was no realized gain or loss on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Billing Adjustments

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and billing adjustments based on the expected collectability of its accounts receivables. That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer’s trade accounts receivable. The allowance includes estimates of billing adjustments, which are negotiated with other telecommunications carriers and are common in the telecommunications industry. There was no impairment of receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost primarily determined using the first-in first-out cost method. Inventory is written off at the point it is determined to be obsolete.

Deferred Costs/Contract Costs

Prior to 2018, deferred costs for the Core Consumer segment primarily consisted of costs of producing magicJack devices which were amortized to cost of sales ratably over the initial access right period. With the adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, these costs are no longer amortized but are expensed upon sale.

ASC 606 requires that contract costs related to obtaining contracts be expensed over the life of the contract.  A practical expedient is allowed for all contracts with lives that are less than one year.  Upon adoption, as of January 1, 2018, contract costs for the Core Consumer segment consist primarily of sales commissions associated with our multi-year service renewal plans which are amortized to cost of sales over the respective periods of expected benefit.  The Company is using the practical expedient to recognize the cost of sales commissions associated with one year or less service renewal plans immediately.

For the Enterprise segment, deferred costs/contract costs consist of hardware or equipment purchased but not yet delivered and put into service and third party service charges not yet billed to customers.  These costs are recognized in the period they are billed to the customer.  As of January 1, 2018, certain incentive commissions are considered incremental costs to obtain a customer contract, which are deferred and amortized to cost of sales ratably over the contract term.

Deferred costs/contract costs to be recognized over the next twelve months are classified as current and included in deferred costs/contract costs, current portion in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The remaining amounts are classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheets and included in deferred costs/contract costs, net of current portion.  There was no impairment of contract costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation Expense

Property and equipment are accounted for under ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment” and consist primarily of servers, computer hardware, furniture, and leasehold improvements. Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which range from three to fifteen years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the term of the lease or useful life of the assets. The cost of substantial improvements is capitalized while the cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred.  Refer to Note 4, “Property and Equipment” for further details.

The Company reviews property and equipment for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of the asset compared to its carrying value. Property and equipment to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Management believes there was no impairment of the Company’s property or equipment at September 30, 2018.

The Company’s hardware consists of routers, gateways and servers that enable the Company’s telephony services. Some of these assets may be subject to technological risks and rapid market changes due to the introduction of new technology, products and services and changing customer demand. These changes may result in future adjustments to the estimated useful lives and the carrying value of these assets. Changes in estimated useful lives are accounted for on a prospective basis starting with the period in which the change in estimate is made in accordance with ASC 250-10, “Accounting Changes and Error.”

Intangible Assets

Identifiable intangible assets are stated at cost and accounted based on whether the useful life of the asset is definite or indefinite. Identified intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized using the accelerated and straight-line methods over their estimated useful lives, which range from one to seventeen years. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized to operations, but instead are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there is an indicator of impairment.

The Company reviews definite lived intangible assets subject to amortization for possible impairment using a three-step approach.  Under the first step, management determines whether an indicator of impairment is present (a “Triggering Event”). If a Triggering Event has occurred, the second step is to test for recoverability based on a comparison of the asset’s carrying amount with the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the third step is to recognize an impairment loss for the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its fair value. Intangible assets subject to amortization to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

The Company recognized impairment charges of $0.1 million on intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 on an intangible asset that the Company has determined will no longer be used in the future. The Company recognized impairment charges of $16.6 million on intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Refer to Note 5, “Intangible Assets” for further details.

The costs of developing the Company’s intellectual property rights, intellectual property right applications and technology are charged to research and development expense as incurred.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized to operations, but instead is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if there is an indicator of impairment. Indicators include, but are not limited to: sustained operating losses or a trend of poor operating performance and a decrease in the Company’s market capitalization below its book value.

The Company’s valuation methodology for assessing impairment requires management to make judgments and assumptions based on historical experience and projections of future operating performance. If these assumptions differ materially from future results, the Company may record impairment charges in the future.

The Company may utilize a qualitative assessment to determine if it is "more-likely-than-not" that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If so, an impairment test must be performed. If not, no further testing is required and the Company documents the relevant qualitative factors that support its fair value. Qualitative factors may include, but are not limited to: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors that may have a negative effect on earnings, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events.  In the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”, which eliminated step two of the goodwill impairment test.

In 2017, goodwill was allocated between two reporting units, “Core Consumer” and “Enterprise” which were consistent with the reportable segments and evaluated separately. The Company recognized impairment charges of $14.9 million on goodwill for the Enterprise reporting unit, the full value of its goodwill, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. There was no change in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Refer to Note 6, “Goodwill” and Note 16, “Segment Reporting” for further details.

Deferred Revenues/Contract Liabilities

Deferred revenues/contract liabilities for the Core Consumer segment consist primarily of billings and payments for magicJack devices access rights renewals and prepaid international minutes billed and collected in advance of revenue recognition.  Prior to adoption of ASC 606, the revenue related to the sale of magicJack devices, including a period of service, was recognized as revenue over the period of service.  After the adoption, the revenue from the sale of magicJack devices is allocated between the revenue from the sale of the device and the sale of service included based on stand-alone selling prices.  The revenue allocated to the sale of the device is recognized immediately and the revenue from the sale of the service included with the device is recognized over the period of service.

For the Enterprise segment, deferred revenues/contract liabilities consist of hardware or equipment purchased but not yet delivered. There were no deferred revenues/contract liabilities for the Enterprise segment as of September 30, 2018.  Deferred revenues/contract liabilities for the Enterprise segment were not significant as of September 30, 2017.

Deferred revenues/contract liabilities to be recognized as revenue over the next twelve months are classified as current and included in deferred revenue/contract liabilities, current portion in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The remaining amounts are classified as non-current in the consolidated balance sheets and included in deferred revenue/contract liabilities, net of current portion.

Revenues

Revenues consist of revenue from sales of magicJack devices to retailers, wholesalers or directly to customers, access right renewal fees, fees charged for shipping magicJack devices, usage of domestic and international prepaid minutes, access charges to other carriers, recurring sales of the Company’s hosted UCaaS voice services, non-recurring sales of equipment related to its UCaaS services and other miscellaneous charges. The Company typically enters into multi-year agreements, typically with durations of three to five years, to provide the hosted voice and other services. The Company earns revenue from the sale of the hardware and network equipment necessary to operate its UCaaS services directly to its customers. All revenue is recorded net of any taxes collected from customers.  All revenue is from contracts with customers.

Revenue Recognition

Prior to 2018, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with ASC 605, "Revenue Recognition", which provided authoritative guidance on revenue recognition. For arrangements that included more than one product or service (deliverables), the Company applied Section 25 of ASC 605, “Multiple-Element Arrangements”. ASC 605-25 established criteria for separating deliverables into different units of accounting and allocating consideration to those units of accounting.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” for revenue recognition.  Set forth below is a description of revenue recognition policies for our various segments.

Revenue Recognition - Core Consumer Segment

magicJack Devices

Prior to 2018, magicJack devices, which include an initial access right service period, were multiple deliverables per ASC 605-25.  Since the device and initial access right were not previously sold separately, they were accounted for as a combined unit of accounting. Under ASC 605, the device and initial access right were accounted for as a combined unit of accounting and recognized ratably over the service term.

Under ASC 606, the sale of the device and the initial access right service are considered as two distinct performance obligations. The transaction price for magicJack device sales is now allocated between equipment and service based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of separate sales which occur at consistent prices. Revenues allocated to the device are recognized when control transfers to the customer, and service revenue is recognized ratably over the service term.

Direct sales of devices include shipping charges and a 30-day free trial period, during which customers can return the device and cancel the service, before payment. Prior to 2018, the Company did not recognize revenue until the 30-day trial period had expired and a customer’s credit card had been charged, at which point revenues for hardware, service and shipping were recognized ratably over the remaining service term. Under ASC 606, control is considered to transfer to the customer for direct sales when the item has been delivered to the customer. As a result, the Company no longer delays revenue recognition for devices sold with a right of return and instead estimates the returns as part of the return allowance.  Revenues for hardware and shipping are recognized at the time of delivery and revenues for service are recognized ratably over the service term.

For retail sales of devices, there is a delay between shipment to the retailer and the ultimate sale to a customer (end-user). Based on sales and inventory data provided by retail partners, the Company’s estimate of the delay for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was 30 days. Prior to 2018, the Company deferred revenue recognition on retail sales for the delay period, after which revenue for both hardware and service were recognized ratably over the remaining initial access right period.  As of January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue for hardware based on delivery terms to the retailer and revenue for service is deferred for the delay period and recognized ratably over the remaining initial access right period.

Returns from retailers are accepted on an authorized basis for devices deemed defective. The Company estimates all potential returns of devices using a six month rolling average of historical returns and reviews the actual returns against the allowance on a quarterly basis. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s estimates of returns and actual returns have not been materially different.

Access Right Renewals and Mobile Apps

Customers may renew access rights for periods ranging from one month to five years.  All payments are due upon purchase of a renewal term and are not considered to include a financing component since the payment terms are primarily not for financing purposes.  Under both ASC 605 and ASC 606, the revenue associated with access right renewals is deferred and recognized ratably as time elapses over the extended access right period purchased. Revenues from the sales of magicApp, magicJack Connect and magicJack Spark mobile app access rights are recognized ratably over the access right period.

Other magicJack-Related Products and services

The Company offers customers other optional products and services related to their magicJack devices and services, such as custom or vanity phone numbers, Canadian phone numbers, and the ability to either change their existing phone numbers or port them to a magicJack device. These revenues are recognized when the performance obligation has been satisfied. In 2017, the Company also offered battery powerbanks for mobile devices for which revenue was recognized when shipped.

Prepaid Minutes and Access and Wholesale Charges

The Company generates revenues from the sales of prepaid international minutes to customers, fees for origination of calls to 800-numbers, and access fees charged to other telecommunication carriers on a per-minute basis for Interexchange Carriers (“IXC”) calls terminated on the Company’s servers. Revenues from access fee charges to other telecommunication carriers are recorded based on rates set forth in the respective state and federal tariffs or negotiated contract rates, less a provision for billing adjustments.  The Company is using the as-invoiced method for access and wholesale fees. Revenues from prepaid minutes and access and wholesale charges are recognized as minutes are used.

 

Revenue Recognition - Enterprise Segment

UCaaS services and equipment sales related to the Broadsmart subsidiary can be sold separately and used with other products and services.  As such, they qualified as multiple deliverables accounted for as separate units of accounting under ASC 605-25 and qualify as two distinct performance obligations under ASC 606.  The Company recognizes revenues from sales of its hosted services in the period the services are provided over the term of the respective customer agreements. Customers are billed monthly in advance for these recurring services and in arrears for one time service and equipment charges and usage charges.  Revenues from sales of hardware and network equipment are recognized in the period that the equipment is delivered. Revenue from the sale of equipment purchased but not yet delivered is deferred and recognized in the period that the hardware or equipment is delivered and put into service.  Revenues from one time service and usage are recognized in the period incurred.

Revenue Recognition - SMB Segment

SMB provided phone equipment and services that are interdependent and not sold separately. As such they were accounted for as a combined unit of accounting under ASC 605-25.  Some agreements included a refund period or a promotion for free introductory service.  Revenue recognition was deferred for either period, after which the Company recognized the revenue for the combined unit ratably over the remaining service period.  Revenue from this segment was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  During the first quarter of 2017, management restructured the Company to absorb all operations and functions of the SMB segment within the Core Consumer segment. Accordingly, this segment does not show activity for periods after March 31, 2017.

Cost of Revenues

Core Consumer Segment

Cost of revenues for the Core Consumer segment include direct costs of operation of the Company’s servers, which are expensed as incurred. These costs include i) the Company’s internal operating costs, ii) depreciation and amortization expense, iii) access and interconnection charges to terminate domestic and international telephone calls on the public switched telephone network and related taxes, iv) regulatory costs, v) server maintenance, and vi) costs to co-locate the Company’s equipment in other telephone companies’ facilities.

Prior to 2018, direct costs of producing magicJack devices were deferred on shipment and charged to cost of sales ratably over the initial access right period. As of January 1, 2018, direct costs of producing magicJack devices are charged to cost of sales at the time of sale, to match recognition of hardware revenue.

Costs for the Core Consumer segment include sales commissions associated with our multi-year service renewal plans. Prior to 2018, these costs were expensed as incurred.  Under ASC 606, these are considered incremental costs to obtain a customer contract, which are deferred and amortized to cost of sales over the respective periods of expected benefit. The Company utilizes the practical expedient permitting expensing of these costs when the expected amortization period is one year or less.

Costs incurred for shipping and handling and credit card charges are included in cost of revenues and are expensed as incurred. Costs for shipping and handling and credit card charges were $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $1.7 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Enterprise Segment

Cost of revenues related to the Company’s UCaaS services include direct costs of providing the services, which are expensed as incurred. These costs include charges for access to the public switched telephone network, internet service for its customers, maintenance costs for its software, commissions, credit card charges, contract labor for installation and depreciation and amortization. The Company also incurs costs for hardware and equipment sold to customers and third party service costs, which are deferred and recognized in the period they are billed to the customer.  Under ASC 606, certain incentive commissions to partners are considered incremental costs to obtain a customer contract, which are deferred and amortized to cost of sales ratably over the contract term.

SMB Segment

Cost of revenues for the SMB segment included direct costs of providing the services, which were expensed as incurred, and costs for phone equipment, which were recognized ratably over the service period.  Cost of revenues from this segment were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

Marketing Expenses

Marketing expenses consisted primarily of advertising media buys for television commercials, internet and print advertising, marketing related personnel costs and other marketing projects including sponsorships. Marketing costs are expensed when incurred.

A break-down of marketing expense by category is as follows (in thousands):

		For the Three Months Ended								For the Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2018				2017				2018				2017
Advertising media buys		$	249			$	550			$	610			$	2,469
Marketing personnel related			413				586				1,435				1,806
Other marketing projects			52				797				754				2,185
Total marketing expenses		$	714			$	1,933			$	2,799			$	6,460

 

Research and Development Expenses

The Company’s research and development activities consist primarily of the design and development of its proprietary software used in the magicJack devices, mobile apps and servers, as well as the development of new products and applications for use in its broadband service offerings. The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with applicable accounting pronouncements. These pronouncements specify that costs incurred internally in researching and developing a product should be charged to expense until technological feasibility has been established for the product. Once technological feasibility is established, all costs should be capitalized until the product is available for general release to customers. The Company has determined that technological feasibility for its products is reached after all high-risk development issues have been resolved through internal and customer base testing. Generally, new products offered to customers and improvements to the Company’s servers are placed in service on attainment of technological feasibility. The Company has not capitalized any of its research and development activities and related costs.

Research and development expenses were $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $4.1 million and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Share-based Compensation

Share-based compensation generally consists of option grants or ordinary share and restricted stock awards to directors, officers, employees or consultants. We account for share-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation", which requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their book basis using enacted tax rates. Any changes in enacted tax rates or tax laws are included in the provision for income taxes in the period of enactment. The Company’s net deferred tax assets consist primarily of foreign net operating loss carry-forwards, timing differences between recognition of income for book and tax purposes, and the tax benefit related to the impairment of intangible assets, including goodwill, in the Enterprise segment. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the net deferred tax assets to the amount that it estimates is more-likely-than-not to be realized. The Company periodically reviews the composition of its deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances and will make adjustments if available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not a change in the carrying amounts is required. The Company increased the valuation allowance by $11 thousand and $33 thousand during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company increased the valuation allowance by $15 thousand and $44 thousand during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, the Company has recorded the largest amount of tax benefit that may potentially be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions that the Company estimates where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. The Company revised its liability for uncertain tax positions by an increase of $180 thousand and $124 thousand in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, due primarily to the net impact of accrued interest on previously recorded uncertain positions and the revaluation impact of previously recorded Israeli uncertain tax positions.  The Company revised its liability for uncertain tax positions by a decrease of $20 thousand and an increase of $1.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, due primarily to an increase in uncertain tax positions related to various state issues and the revaluation impact of certain Israeli uncertain tax positions.

The Company records its income tax expense for interim financial statements by using an estimated annual effective income tax rate based on its expected annual results after consideration of permanent nontaxable items. The tax benefits of net operating loss carry-forwards expected to be realized through 2018 and changes in other deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized during interim periods based on an annual forecast as of the interim reporting date. At September 30, 2018, the estimated annual effective income tax rate is expected to approximate 21.9%, excluding discrete tax items, which` includes federal, foreign, state and local taxes. This rate may fluctuate due to changes in jurisdictional income and to the timing of other discrete period transactions during the remainder of the year.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

Net income or loss per share– basic, is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, including redeemable ordinary shares (if applicable). Net income or loss per share – diluted, is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period, including redeemable common shares (if applicable). Potentially dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise or settlement of options to purchase common shares or restricted stock.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. ASU 2016-15 reduces the diversity of how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted.  The ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. There was no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-15.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory”. ASU 2016-16 requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted.  The ASU should be applied retrospectively as an adjustment to retained earnings. The impact of adopting ASU 2016-16 on January 1, 2018 was a decrease to retained earnings of approximately $0.2 million, with offsetting adjustments to prepaid taxes.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting”. ASU 2017-09 provides guidance on determining which changes to share-based awards require modification accounting under ASC 718. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted.  There was no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 resulting from the adoption of ASU 2017-09.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118”. ASU 2018-05 provides guidance on certain income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The standard is effective immediately.  The Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows was impacted by the new tax rates resulting in lower income tax expense.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases”. ASU 2016-02 requires that long-term lease arrangements be recognized on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, but the standard will result in the Company recording both assets and liabilities for leases currently classified as operating leases.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Nonemployee Share Based Payment Accounting”. ASU 2018-07 provides guidance on accounting for share-based awards issued to nonemployees. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the potential impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Raw materials represent components used in the manufacturing of the magicJack devices, held by the Company or by a Chinese manufacturer on consignment. Finished goods are comprised primarily of magicJack devices on hand or in transit to the Company’s distribution center in the United States and customer equipment, as well as hardware and equipment pending delivery or sale to Enterprise segment customers. Inventories were comprised of the following (in thousands):

The Company wrote-off approximately $81 thousand of obsolete inventory during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Company (recovered) wrote-off approximately ($33) thousand and $370 thousand of obsolete inventory during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.  Inventory write-offs are reflected in cost of revenues in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Amortization expense was $0.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $1.8 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Refer to Note 16, “Segment Reporting” for further details.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, impairment losses of $0.1 million were recognized in Operating Expenses under the Consumer segment in the statement of operations. The impairment was comprised of a software license of $131 thousand (net of accumulated amortization) related to magicJack Connect app, which will no longer be offered.

As part of the Company’s quarterly impairment review for intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, performed as of March 31, 2017, management determined that there were impairment indicators at the Enterprise segment.  Based on the knowable impairment indicators as of March 31, 2017 discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company engaged an independent third party to perform a valuation of the Enterprise segment’s long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, as of March 31, 2017.  Based on the results of the valuation, impairment losses of $16.6 million were recognized on the following intangible assets in operating expenses under the Enterprise segment in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as follows:

There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

As part of the Company’s quarterly impairment review for intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, performed as of March 31, 2017, management determined that there were impairment indicators at the Enterprise segment.  Based on the knowable impairment indicators as of March 31, 2017 discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company engaged an independent third party to perform a valuation of the Enterprise reporting unit’s long-lived assets and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill, as of March 31, 2017.

Based on a discounted future cash-flows approach, the third party valuation estimated the fair value of the Enterprise reporting unit to be $17.9 million.  Recognition of the goodwill impairment resulted in a tax benefit which was recorded as a deferred tax asset.  Since the deferred tax asset increases the carrying value of the reporting unit, it would result in an additional impairment. The accounting guidance requires an entity to calculate the impairment charge and the deferred tax effect using a simultaneous equations method, which effectively grosses up the goodwill impairment charge to account for the related deferred tax benefit so that the resulting carrying value does not exceed the calculated fair value.  The resulting impairment is limited to the carrying value of goodwill.  In the valuation performed for the Company the impairment calculated using the simultaneous equation method resulted in an impairment charge that exceeded the carrying value of the goodwill.  Accordingly, an impairment loss of $14.9 million on goodwill was recognized in operating expenses under the Enterprise segment in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

 

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were as follows (in thousands):

 

		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017
		Core Consumer				Enterprise				SMB				Other				Consolidated
Balance, beginning of period		$	32,304			$	14,881			$	-			$	-			$	47,185
2017 impairment			-				(14,881	)											(14,881	)
Balance, end of period		$	32,304			$	-			$	-			$	-			$	32,304

The application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgment, and the use of significant estimates and assumptions, is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units, including estimating future cash flows, future market conditions, and determining the appropriate discount rates, growth rates, and operating margins, among others.

The discounted cash flow analyses factor in assumptions on revenue and expense growth rates. These estimates are based upon the Company’s historical experience, best estimates of future activity, and a cost structure necessary to achieve the related revenues.

Additionally, these discounted cash flow analyses factor in expected amounts of working capital and weighted average cost of capital. The Company believes the assumptions are reasonable. However, there can be no assurance that its estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the goodwill impairment testing, at the annual Measurement Date, will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. Changes in these estimates and assumptions as previously noted, could result in the need to conduct additional goodwill impairment tests in the future and could ultimately result in an impairment charge. In addition, a change in the Company’s reporting units could materially affect the determination of the fair value for each reporting unit, which could trigger impairment in the future. The Company will continue to review its results against forecasts and assess its assumptions to ensure they continue to be appropriate.

Deferred costs and revenues/contract costs and liabilities to be recognized over the next twelve months are classified as current and included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remaining deferred cost and revenue/contract cost and liability amounts are classified as non-current in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Certain costs necessary to fulfill the Company’s obligations to provide broadband telephone service to new and existing customers who have purchased magicJack devices or access rights to access the Company’s servers are expensed as incurred. For the Core Consumer segment, such costs were approximately $2.1 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $6.4 million and $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the Enterprise segment, such costs were approximately $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $2.0 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Costs related to providing broadband telephone service to SMB segment customers were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, other non-current liabilities primarily consisted of provisions for uncertain tax positions of $13.4 million and $13.1 million, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including intellectual property claims, contractual and commercial disputes, employment claims, state and local tax matters and other matters which arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s policy is to vigorously defend any legal proceedings. Management regularly evaluates the status of legal proceedings in which the Company is involved in order to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or additional loss may have been incurred and to determine if accruals are appropriate. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in a particular fiscal year or quarter.

On August 11, 2017, a putative class action lawsuit titled Freedman v. magicJack VocalTec Ltd. et al., Case 9-17-cv-80940, was filed against the Company and its Board of Directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The complaint alleged claims against the Company and the current members of its Board of Directors as well as two former members for violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, arising from proxy statements issued in connection with the April 19, 2017 shareholders meeting and the July 31, 2017 shareholders meeting that allegedly misrepresented material facts concerning the “true value” of Broadsmart Global, Inc. and its future prospects in order that the individual defendants (the Board members) could entrench themselves on the Board and extract unwarranted compensation from the Company in connection with their attempt to sell the Company. In January 2018, the plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint. On February 16, 2018, the Company and all of the individual defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. The plaintiff filed his opposition to the motion to dismiss on April 2, 2018, and defendants’ reply was filed on April 19, 2018. The court issued an order dismissing the amended complaint without prejudice on August 9, 2018.  The plaintiff filed an amended complaint, and on August 20, 2018, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint.  No decision has yet been reached on the motion   The Company cannot estimate the amount of potential liability, if any, that could arise from this matter.

On March 1, 2018, Flexijet Technologies, Inc. (“Flexijet”) served a complaint for patent infringement against magicJack VocalTec Ltd.  The complaint asserts that certain of the Company’s products infringe United States Patent Nos. 8,296,757; 8,533,352; 8,595,717; 9,043,482; and 9,116,723.  The Company disputes all of the claims by Flexijet and intends to vigorously defend the action.  The Company answered the complaint on May 31, 2018, and served its invalidity contentions on August 27, 2018.. The Company cannot estimate the amount of potential liability, if any, that could arise from this matter.

 

In June 2018, Galilee Acquisition LLC f/k/a Sutton View Acquisition LLC (“GAL”) filed a complaint, served the following month, (case No.:50-2018-CA-007976-XXXX-MB) in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida against magicJack Vocaltec Ltd. alleging a claim for negligent misrepresentation.  The complaint alleges that the Company provided false, material information to the plaintiff concerning its business, including information related to the operations, revenue projections, profit projections and growth forecast of Broadsmart.  It alleges that the plaintiff relied on the information provided in determining whether to pursue acquiring the Company and to incur the cost of conducting due diligence.  The suit seeks an unspecified amount of damages.  The Company disputes GAL’s claims and intends to vigorously defend the action.  The Company filed a motion to dismiss on September 4, 2018, which remains pending.  The Company cannot estimate the amount of potential liability, if any, that could arise from this matter.

On July 12, 2018, plaintiffs Ramon G. Martinez and Moses Lopez filed a putative class action complaint against magicJack LP and YMAX Holdings Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida as case number 9:18-cv-80917-RLR, alleging violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act in connection with calls placed by an autodialer using a pre-recorded voice without the requisite consent.  The Plaintiffs entered into a stipulation with the Company under which the Complaint has been dismissed with prejudice, and on October 24, 2018, the Court issued an order closing the case.

 

Tax Contingencies

The Company believes that it files all required tax returns and pays all required federal, state and municipal taxes (such as sales, excise, utility, and ad valorem taxes), fees and surcharges. The Company is the subject of inquiries and examinations by various states and municipalities in the normal course of business. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company makes a provision for a liability for taxes when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. The Company believes any possible claims are without merit and vigorously defends its rights. However, if a government entity were to prevail in any matter, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. In addition, it is at least reasonably possible that a potential loss may exist for tax contingencies in addition to the provisions taken by the Company. For those potential additional tax contingencies which can be reasonably estimated, that additional potential liability ranges from $0 to $2.5 million dollars.

The Company is currently under examination for potential state tax liabilities in some states and local jurisdictions.  On June 8, 2017, the Company offered to settle a state examination for payment of $0.6 million and the agreement to remit certain taxes on a prospective basis. The taxing authority subsequently rejected the Company’s offer, and as of September 30, 2018, the Company has not reached an agreement with the state.

In a letter dated April 23, 2018, the Company received notice that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has selected our 2015 United States income tax return for examination.  The Company had an initial meeting with the IRS in June 2018 and has supplied responses for all of the IRS’s document requests to date.  The Company believes that the positions taken in its 2015 return are reasonable and appropriate, however, the Company cannot be sure of the ultimate outcome of the examination and cannot estimate the likelihood of liability or the amount of potential assessments, if any, that could arise from the examination.

Historically, the Company has considered the requirements to collect sales taxes under the auspices of a 1991 Supreme Court case, Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, which established the precedent that a physical presence in the respective state is required for an entity to be subject to a state’s sales and use tax requirements.  Accordingly, the Company had concluded that the Company did not have nexus for sales tax in those states in which it had no physical presence (i.e., it had no employees regularly and systematically there and it had no property there).  On June 21, 2018, via South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. (No. 17-494) the U.S. Supreme Court reversed its prior ruling and eliminated the “physical presence” requirement.  The South Dakota law included no prospective liability for sellers, a safe harbor minimum for the number of transactions and dollar value of sales and relaxed registration procedures. However, it is still uncertain how other states will react to the ruling and what kind of overall impact that will have on internet sellers in the United States.  In consideration of the recent ruling, the Company has made the decision to start collecting sales tax on direct sales of its magicJack device in states that have adopted similar “Economic Nexus” laws.  To date, the Company has identified approximately 29 states that have similar laws. The Company  began registering for, collecting and remitting sales tax to the identified jurisdictions during the third quarter of 2018.  The Company will continue to monitor the situation and add additional states if deemed necessary.  Though the South Dakota law is to be applied prospectively, it is not certain if other states may try to enact laws on a retrospective basis based on the Wayfair ruling, and the Company cannot estimate the likelihood of liability or the potential amount of assessments that could arise from prior periods if other states tried to apply the ruling on a retrospective basis.

In March 2018, the Company issued 21,897 of its ordinary shares held as treasury shares with a cost of $270 thousand, or $12.32 per share, to employees as a result of restricted stock vesting. In March 2018, the Company purchased 6,365 of its ordinary shares at $8.40 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $53 thousand, in settlement of the withholding tax liability on the vesting of the restricted stock. In August 2018, the Company issued 42,873 of its ordinary shares held as treasury shares with a cost of $528 thousand, or $12.32 per share, to board members as a result of restricted stock vesting.

In January 2017, the Company reclassified 16,666 shares previously issued out of treasury stock as they had been issued as new ordinary shares. In April 2017, the Company issued 6,996 of its ordinary shares held as treasury shares with a cost of $86 thousand, or $12.32 per share, to Board members as a result of restricted stock vesting. In May 2017, the Company issued 76,211 of its ordinary shares held as treasury shares with a cost of $939 thousand, or $12.32 per share, to an executive officer as a result of restricted stock vesting. In May 2017, the Company purchased 20,844 of its ordinary shares at $6.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $135 thousand, in settlement of the withholding tax liability on the vesting of that restricted stock.
