Guarantees [Abstract] | |
Equity Method Investment [Text Block] | Variable Interest Entity and GuaranteeThe Company has a 50% equity ownership in AccessTel Kentrox Australia PTY LTD (AKA). AKA distributes network management solutions provided by the Company and the other 50% owner to one customer. The Company holds equal voting control with the other owner. All actions of AKA are decided at the board level by majority vote. The Company evaluated ASC 810, Consolidations, and concluded that AKA is a variable interest entity (VIE) and the Company has a variable interest in the VIE. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of AKA and, therefore, consolidation is not required. The carrying amount of the Company's investment in AKA was approximately $0.1 million as of both December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, which is presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Other non-current assets. In the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company received a cash dividend payment of $36,000 from AKA. The Company's revenue from sales to AKA for both the three months ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, was $0.3 million. The Company's revenue from sales to AKA for the nine months ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, was $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Accounts receivable from AKA was $0.2 million as of both December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020. AKA deferred revenue, which primarily relates to maintenance contracts, was $0.3 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, respectively. The Company also has provided an unlimited guarantee for the performance of the other 50% owner in AKA, which primarily provides support and engineering services to the customer. This guarantee was put in place at the request of the AKA customer. The guarantee, which is estimated to have a maximum potential future payment of $0.7 million, will stay in place as long as the contract between AKA and the customer is in place. The Company would have recourse against the other 50% owner in AKA in the event the guarantee is triggered. The Company determined that it could perform on the obligation it guaranteed at a positive rate of return and, therefore, did not assign value to the guarantee. The Company's exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with AKA, exclusive of lost profits, is limited to the items noted above. |
