NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Nature of Operations Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the development, sale and service of its proprietary software solutions related to mobile imaging solutions and intelligent character recognition software. The Company applies its patented technology in image capture, correction and intelligent data extraction in the mobile financial and business applications market.

The Company’s Mobile Deposit® product is software that allows users to remotely deposit a check using their camera-equipped smartphone or tablet. As of September 30, 2012, 564 financial institutions, including 28 of the top 50 U.S. retail banks and payment processing companies, have signed agreements to deploy Mobile Deposit®. Of the 564 financial institutions, 205 have deployed Mobile Deposit® with their customers. Other mobile imaging software solutions the Company offers include Mobile Photo Bill Pay™, a mobile bill payment product that allows users to pay their bills using their camera-equipped smartphone or tablet, Mobile Balance Transfer™, a product that allows credit card issuers to provide an offer to users and transfer an existing credit card balance by capturing an image of the user’s current credit card statement, Mobile Enrollment ™, a product that enables users to enroll their checking account as a funding source for mobile payments by taking a photo of a blank check with their camera-equipped smartphone or tablet, and Mobile Photo Quoting™, product that enables users to receive insurance quotes by using their camera-equipped smartphone or tablet to take a picture of their driver’s license and insurance card. The Company’s mobile imaging software solutions can be deployed on all major smartphone and tablet operating systems. The Company markets and sells its mobile imaging software solutions through channel partners or directly to enterprise customers and end-users that typically purchase licenses based on the number of transactions or subscribers that use the Company’s mobile software. The Company’s mobile imaging software solutions are often embedded in other mobile banking or enterprise applications developed by banks, insurance companies or their partners, and marketed under their own proprietary brands. Basis of Presentation The financial statements are prepared under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications do not impact the reported net loss and do not have a material impact on the presentation of the overall financial statements.
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, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon currently available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share also gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, such as convertible debt, options, warrants and restricted stock units, if dilutive. At September 30, 2012 and 2011, the following potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the earnings per share calculation, as they would have been antidilutive:
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:
Revenue Recognition Revenue from sales of software licenses sold through direct and indirect channels is recognized upon shipment of the related product, if the requirements of ASC Topic 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition (“ASC 985-605”), including evidence of an arrangement, delivery, fixed or determinable fee, collectability and vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) about the fair value of an element are met. If the requirements of ASC 985-605 are not met at the date of shipment, revenue is not recognized until such elements are known or resolved. Customer support services, or maintenance revenues, include post-contract support and the rights to unspecified upgrades and enhancements. VSOE of fair value for customer support is determined by reference to the price the customer pays for such element when sold separately; that is, the renewal rates offered to customers. In those instances when objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered items but not for the delivered items, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the amount of arrangement consideration allocated to the delivered items equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate fair value of the undelivered items. Revenue from post-contract customer support is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenue from professional services is recognized when such services are delivered. When a software sales arrangement requires professional services related to significant production, modification or customization of software, or when a customer considers professional services essential to the functionality of the software product, revenue is recognized based on predetermined milestone objectives required to complete the project, as those milestone objectives are deemed to be substantive in relationship to the work performed. Any expected losses on contracts in progress are recorded in the period in which the losses become probable and reasonably estimable. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less. A substantial portion of the Company’s cash is deposited with one financial institution. The Company monitors the financial condition of this financial institution and does not believe that funds on deposit are subject to a significant degree of risk. Investments Investments consist of corporate notes and bonds, and commercial paper. The Company classifies investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. All investments are recorded at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered to be other-than-temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely that the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of its cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the Statements of Operations. All investments whose maturity or sale is expected within one year are classified as “current” on the balance sheet. All other securities are classified as “long-term” on the balance sheet. Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities are considered representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the contractual payment terms. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate for probable losses inherent in accounts receivable balances. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $17,773 and $21,344 as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Deferred Maintenance Fees Deferred maintenance fees consist of capitalized costs associated with software maintenance fees paid to vendors who supply licenses and maintenance for software embedded in the Company’s products that it sells to customers. These software maintenance fees are typically billed annually to the Company and are amortized to cost of revenue-maintenance and professional services in the Statements of Operations over the maintenance period, which is typically one year.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost. The following is a summary of property and equipment as of September 30, 2012 and 2011:
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the lease or seven years. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment totaled approximately $141,000 and $42,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Included in property and equipment as of September 30, 2012 is approximately $95,000 of equipment purchased under a capital lease. There were no fixed assets acquired under capital leases at September 30, 2011. Depreciation expense related to the equipment purchased under the capital lease was approximately $17,000 in fiscal year 2012 and accumulated depreciation was approximately$17,000 at September 30, 2012. The Company recorded no depreciation expense related to capital leases in fiscal year 2011, nor was there any related accumulated depreciation at September 30, 2011. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations. Total repairs and maintenance expenses were approximately $58,000 and $43,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, including license agreements and other intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that these assets may be impaired or in order to determine whether any revision to the related amortization periods should be made. This evaluation is based on management’s projections of the undiscounted future cash flows associated with each product or asset. If management’s evaluation indicates that the carrying values of these intangible assets were impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company did not record any impairment for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Capitalized Software Development Costs The Company evaluates its capitalized software development costs at each balance sheet date to determine if the unamortized balance related to any given product exceeds the estimated net realizable value of that product. Any such excess is written off through accelerated amortization in the quarter in which it is identified. Determining net realizable value, as defined by ASC Topic 985-20, Accounting for the Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires making estimates and judgments in quantifying the appropriate amount to write off, if any. Actual amounts realized from the software products could differ from those estimates. Also, any future changes to the Company’s product portfolio could result in significant increases to its cost of license revenue as a result of the write-off of capitalized software development costs. The Company recorded amortization of software development costs of approximately $91,000 and $137,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company records amortization of software development costs as cost of revenue-software in the Statements of Operations.
Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue represents customer billings, paid up front, generally annually at the beginning of each maintenance period, with revenue recognized ratably over such period. For certain other licensing arrangements, revenue attributable to undelivered elements, including post-contract customer support which typically includes telephone support and the right to receive unspecified upgrades and enhancements of software on a when-and-if-available basis, is based upon the sales price of those elements when sold separately and is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement. Guarantees In the ordinary course of business, the Company is not subject to potential obligations under guarantees that fall within the scope of ASC Topic 460, Guarantees (“ASC 460”), except for standard indemnification and warranty provisions that are contained within many of the Company’s customer license and service agreements and certain supplier agreements, and give rise only to the disclosure requirements prescribed by ASC 460. Indemnification and warranty provisions contained within the Company’s customer license and service agreements and certain supplier agreements are generally consistent with those prevalent in the Company’s industry. The Company has not historically incurred significant obligations under customer indemnification or warranty provisions and does not expect to incur significant obligations in the future. Accordingly, the Company does not maintain accruals for potential customer indemnification or warranty-related obligations. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Management evaluates the available evidence about future taxable income and other possible sources of realization of deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance reduces deferred tax assets to an amount that represents management’s best estimate of the amount of such deferred tax assets that more likely than not will be realized. See Note 5 for additional details. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. See Note 5 for additional details. Stock-Based Compensation The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options granted is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line single-option method. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the expected life of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods.
Advertising Expense Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $72,000 and $76,000 during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred. Leases Leases are reviewed and classified as capital or operating at their inception. For leases that contain rent escalations, the Company records the total rent payable on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between rent payments and straight-line rent expense is recorded as deferred rent. Segment Reporting ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires the use of a management approach in identifying segments of an enterprise. The Company’s family of products consists of mobile imaging solutions and intelligent character recognition software provided as development toolkits. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, management has determined that the Company has only one operating segment, document image processing and image analytics, based on the Company’s product and service offerings that use its intelligent character recognition and document capture technology. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive loss. The Company has disclosed comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the balance sheet at September 30, 2012 includes net unrealized gains on the Company’s available-for-sale securities of $9,239. At September 30, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive loss includes net unrealized losses of $9,855 on available-for-sale securities.

The following table summarizes investments by security type as of September 30, 2011:
The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts, interest, dividend income, and realized gains and losses are included in investment income. The Company determines the appropriate designation of investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. All of the Company’s investments are designated as available-for-sale debt securities. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s short-term investments have maturity dates of greater than 90 days and less than one year from the balance sheet date. The Company’s long-term investments have maturity dates of greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Available-for-sale marketable securities are carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices for identical or similar assets, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Management reviews the fair value of the portfolio at least monthly, and evaluates individual securities with fair value below amortized cost at the balance sheet date. For debt securities, in order to determine whether impairment is other than temporary, management must conclude whether the Company intends to sell the impaired security and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovering its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. The amount of an other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss, or securities that management intends to sell before recovery, is recognized in earnings. The amount of an other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities related to other factors is recorded consistent with changes in the fair value of all other available-for-sale securities as a component of stockholders’ equity in other comprehensive income. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 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. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which consists of the following:
Based on the fair value hierarchy, all of the Company’s investments were classified as Level 2 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, as represented in the following table:

Debt [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DEBT |
Convertible Debt In December 2009, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with accredited investors pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue the following securities in exchange for aggregate consideration of approximately $1,000,000: (i) 5% senior secured convertible debentures in the principal amount of approximately $1,000,000, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 337,501 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.91 per share. Each investor received a warrant to purchase that number of shares of the Company’s common stock that equals 25% of the quotient obtained by dividing such investor’s aggregate subscription amount by $0.75. The transaction resulted in proceeds to the Company of approximately $922,000, net of transaction costs and expenses. In December 2010, the Company converted the then-outstanding balance of the debentures of approximately $1,064,000, including accrued interest of approximately $51,000, into 1,418,573 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.75 per share. In addition, the Company recognized as interest expense the remaining unamortized discount of approximately $320,000 related to the beneficial conversion feature at the time of conversion in accordance with ASC Topic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Prior to the conversion, interest was payable in cash or stock at the rate of 5% per annum on each conversion date (as to the principal amount being converted), on each early redemption date (as to the principal amount being redeemed) and on the maturity date. The principal amount of the debentures, if not paid earlier, was due and payable on December 10, 2011. The Company had the right to redeem all or a portion of the debentures before maturity by payment in cash of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed. The Company agreed to honor any notices of conversion that it received from the holder before the date the Company paid off the debentures. The debentures were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the discretion of the holder at a conversion price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like. The Company had the right to force conversion of the debentures if (i) the closing price of its common stock exceeded 200% of the then-effective conversion price for 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading-day period or (ii) the average daily trading volume for its common stock exceeded 100,000 shares per trading day for 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading-day period and the closing price of its common stock exceeded 100% of the then-effective conversion price for 20 trading days out of a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The debentures imposed certain covenants on the Company including restrictions against paying cash dividends or distributions on shares of its outstanding common stock. The debentures were secured by all of the Company’s assets under the terms of a security agreement it entered into with the investors dated December 10, 2009. In evaluating the accounting for the convertible debentures, the Company considered whether the conversion option related to the convertible debentures required bifurcation and separate accounting as a liability at fair value. Because the conversion option entitled the holder to convert to a fixed number of shares at a fixed price, the Company was not required to bifurcate the conversion option and the related debt host. Similarly, the warrant contract entitled the holder to convert to a fixed number of shares at a fixed price and was therefore recorded in stockholders’ equity. Of the gross proceeds, approximately $786,000 was allocated to the debentures and approximately $226,000 to the warrants. The value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The amount allocated to the warrants was recorded as a discount on the debentures and was being amortized to interest expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations over the term of the debentures. In addition, based on the conversion price of $0.75 and relative value of the debentures, a beneficial conversion feature of approximately $402,000 was recorded as an additional discount on the debentures and was being amortized to interest expense in the accompanying Statements of Operations over the term of the debentures. The fair value of the vested warrants was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
Credit Facility In January 2011, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with its primary operating bank. The loan agreement permits the Company to borrow, repay, and re-borrow, from time to time until January 31, 2013, up to $400,000 subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. The Company’s obligations under the loan agreement are secured by a security interest in its equipment and other personal property. Interest on the credit facility accrues at an annual rate equal to one percentage point above the Prime Rate, fixed on the date of each advance. Interest on the outstanding amount under the loan agreement is payable monthly. The loan agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on the disposition of assets, mergers and reorganizations. The Company is also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the loan agreement, including minimum liquidity, for which the Company was in compliance as of September 30, 2012 and 2011. The Company had no amounts outstanding under this credit facility as of September 30, 2012.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY |
Common Stock In October 2010, the Company sold 500,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per share to accredited investors in a private placement, resulting in net proceeds of $750,000. In December 2010, the Company issued 1,418,573 shares of common stock upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debentures as discussed in greater detail in Note 3.
In May 2011, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold to the investors an aggregate of 2,857,143 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $5.25 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $15,000,000. The Company paid cash compensation of approximately $1,050,000 in placement agent fees and reimbursed $25,000 of placement agent out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the financing. In addition, the Company incurred legal fees of approximately $80,000 in connection with the private placement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $13,845,000. Warrants Historically, the Company has granted warrants to purchase its common stock to service providers and investors. As of September 30, 2012, there were warrants to purchase 6,667 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding with an exercise price of $0.91 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like. These warrants expire in December 2014. In connection with the issuance of shares of common stock to John H. Harland Company (“JHH Co.”) in February and May 2005, the Company issued to JHH Co. warrants to purchase 321,428 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.70 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and the like. In June 2011, JHH Co. exercised the warrants, which were due to expire between February and May 2012. The warrants were exercised under the cashless exercise method, resulting in the issuance of 288,582 shares of common stock to the warrant holder and the cancellation of the remaining 32,846 shares in consideration of the issuance. In connection with issuance of convertible debentures in December 2009, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 337,501 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.91 per share, as discussed in greater detail in Note 3. Of such warrants, warrants to purchase 330,834 shares of the Company’s common stock have been exercised and warrants to purchase 6,667 shares of common stock remain outstanding as of September 30, 2012. These warrants expire in December 2014. The following table summarizes warrant activity in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012:
Stock-based Compensation The Company applies the fair value recognition provisions of ASC 718. The fair value of stock options granted to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the expected life of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods.
The value of stock-based compensation is based on the single option valuation approach under ASC 718. It is assumed no dividends will be declared. The estimated fair value of stock-based compensation awards is amortized using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the option. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated average forfeiture rate for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 of approximately 14.85% for all stock option grants was based on historical forfeiture experience. ASC 718 requires the cash flows from tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for options to be classified as financing cash flows. Due to the Company’s valuation allowance from losses in the previous years, there were no such tax benefits during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Prior to the adoption of ASC 718, any tax benefits received by the Company related to stock option exercises would have been reported as operating cash flows. The fair value calculations for stock-based compensation awards to employees for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were based on the following assumptions:
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock unit awards under ASC 718 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, which were allocated as follows:
The following table summarizes vested and unvested options, weighted average exercise price per share, weighted average remaining term and aggregate intrinsic value at September 30, 2012:
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $6,161,479 of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.3 years.
The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Company’s stock option plans during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:
The following table summarizes significant ranges of outstanding and exercisable options as of September 30, 2012:
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was $14,215,750. The per-share weighted average fair value of options granted during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was $5.97. 2012 Incentive Plan In January 2012, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Mitek Systems, Inc. 2012 Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), upon the recommendation of the compensation committee of the board of directors. The total number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2012 Plan is 2,000,000 shares, plus that number of shares of the Company’s common stock that would otherwise return to the available pool of unissued shares reserved for awards under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan, 2000 Stock Option Plan, 2002 Stock Option Plan, 2006 Stock Option Plan and 2010 Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”). There were no awards granted under the Prior Plans after the approval of the 2012 Plan by the Company’s stockholders on February 22, 2012. Stock options granted under the Prior Plans that were outstanding at such date remain in effect until such options are exercised or expire. The 2012 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and cash awards. Stock options granted under the 2012 Plan may be either options intended to constitute incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options, in each case as determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors in accordance with the terms of the 2012 Plan. As of September 30, 2012, stock options to purchase 723,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 215,834 restricted stock units were outstanding under the 2012 Plan, and 1,245,067 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for future grants. The following table summarizes the number of stock options outstanding under the Prior Plans as of September 30, 2012:
In May 2003, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company was granted an option to purchase up to 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer. This grant was made without shareholder approval as an inducement award pursuant to Rule 5635(c)(4) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the shares subject to the grant on December 15, 2011. Restricted Stock Units In January 2011, the Company’s board of directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Mitek Systems, Inc. Director Restricted Stock Unit Plan, as amended and restated (the “Director Plan”), reserving up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the issuance of restricted stock units to both employee and non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company. On February 23, 2011, the Director Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at its annual meeting. On March 15, 2011, the Company awarded an aggregate of 300,000 restricted stock units to its directors at a fair value of $5.12 per share. The restricted stock units vest monthly over five years. To the extent a restricted stock unit becomes vested, and subject to satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations, each vested restricted stock unit will entitle its holder to receive one share of the Company’s common stock, which will be settled and deemed issued and outstanding upon the earlier to occur of: (i) a change in control; (ii) a director’s separation from service; or (iii) the fifth anniversary of the award date. A holder of outstanding restricted stock units has none of the rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company, including no right to vote or to receive dividends (if any), until such time as the awards are settled in shares of common stock. The Company has awarded restricted stock units to certain of its employees at a weighted-average fair value of $8.44 per share. The restricted stock units vest in equal annual installments over four years.
The following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity under the Company’s plans during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:
The cost of the restricted stock units is determined using the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the award date, and the compensation expense is recognized ratably over the vesting period. The Company recognized $529,072 and $179,343 in stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock units in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had approximately $2,543,465 of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock units expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.5 years.

INCOME TAXES |
For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 the (benefit) provision for income taxes were as follows:
Significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
The Company has provided a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets recorded as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 due to uncertainties regarding the realization of such assets. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012 was an increase of $2,247,615. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended September 30, 2011 was a decrease of $17,388. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers projected future taxable income and planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical operating results and projections for future taxable income, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to zero. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to realize the benefit of some or all of the federal and state loss carryforwards or the credit carryforwards, either due to ongoing operating losses or due to ownership changes, which limit the usefulness of the loss carryforwards. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of $38,161,579 for federal income tax purposes, which will start to expire in 2018. The net operating loss carryforwards for state purposes are $31,323,928 and will begin to expire in 2013. Included in these amounts are federal and state net operating losses of $15,665,767 attributable to stock option deductions of which the tax benefit will be credited to equity when realized. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has available federal research and development credit carryforwards of $29,306 and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $66,320. The research and development credits will start to expire in 2023. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has available state research and development credit carryforwards and manufacturers’ investment credit carryforwards of $21,963 and $16,568 respectively. The state research and development credits have no expiration date and the state manufacturers’ investment credits start to expire in the current year. The Company’s ability to use its net operating loss and research and development credit carryforwards may be substantially limited due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”), as well as similar state provisions. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company became a “loss corporation” as defined in Section 382. Due to the existence of the valuation allowance, it is not expected that any possible limitation will have an impact on the results of operations or financial position of the Company. The differences between the provision for income taxes and income taxes computed using the U.S federal income tax rate was as follows for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. Because the Company is carrying forward federal and state net operating losses from 1997 and 2000, respectively, the Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years since 1997 and 2000, as the case may be. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, 2012, no accrued interest or penalties are recorded in the financial statements.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
Legal Matters USAA On March 29, 2012, United Services Automobile Association (“USAA”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas San Antonio Division against the Company seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that USAA does not infringe certain patents of the Company relating to Mobile Deposit and that such patents are not enforceable against USAA. In addition, USAA alleges that it disclosed confidential information to the Company and that the Company used such information in its patents and Mobile Deposit® product in an unspecified manner. USAA seeks damages and injunctive relief. USAA subsequently amended its pleadings to assert a claim for false advertising and reverse palming off under the Lanham Act, and to seek reimbursement under the parties’ license agreement. On April 12, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit against USAA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that USAA infringes five of the Company’s patents relating to image capture on mobile devices, breached the parties’ license agreement by using the Company’s products beyond the scope of the agreed-upon license terms and breached the parties’ license agreement by disclosing confidential pricing and other confidential information for a Company legacy product installation in the lawsuit USAA filed in Texas. The courts consolidated the foregoing cases in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, and on November 19, 2012, the Company answered USAA’s various claims and counterclaims, moved to dismiss USAA’s Lanham Act cause of action, and filed a counterclaim against USAA for violation of the Lanham Act. The Company believes that USAA’s claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against those claims and pursue its claims against USAA. The Company does not believe that the results of USAA’s claims will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Top Image Systems Ltd. On September 26, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit against Israeli-based Top Image Systems Ltd. and TIS America Inc. (collectively “TISA”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that TISA infringes five of the Company’s patents relating to image capture on mobile devices. The Company is seeking damages against TISA and injunctive relief to prevent them from selling their mobile imaging products. Other Legal Matters In addition to the foregoing, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. While any legal proceeding has an element of uncertainty, management of the Company believes that the disposition of such matters, in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Employee 401(k) Plan The Company has a 401(k) plan that allows participating employees to contribute a percentage of their salary, subject to Internal Revenue Service annual limits. The Company’s board of directors may, at its sole discretion, approve matching contributions by the Company. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s board of directors did not approve any Company matching contributions to the plan. Facility Lease The Company’s principal executive offices, as well as its research and development facility, are located in approximately 24,012 square feet of office space in San Diego, California. The lease for such space was due to expire in December 2012. On July 3, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the existing lease (the “Lease Amendment”), which decreases the rentable square footage to approximately 22,523 square feet. The Lease Amendment commences on January 1, 2013 and extends the term of the existing lease through June 30, 2019. The annual base rent under the Lease Amendment is approximately $471,000 per year and is subject to annual increases of approximately three percent per year. In connection with the lease amendment, the Company issued a standby letter of credit to the landlord that allows for one or more draws of up to $210,000 over the term of the lease extension. The Company believes its existing properties are in good condition and are sufficient and suitable for the conduct of its business. Future annual minimum rental payments payable under the lease are as follows:
Rent expense for the Company’s operating lease for its facility for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 totaled approximately $336,000 and $288,000, respectively.

Revenue and Vendor Concentrations [Abstract] | |||
REVENUE AND VENDOR CONCENTRATIONS |
Revenue Concentration For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Company derived revenue of approximately $3,788,000 from three customers, with such customers accounting for 15%, 15% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue, compared to revenue of approximately $3,385,000 from two customers, with such customers accounting for 22% and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s total revenue in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The corresponding accounts receivable balances of customers from which revenues were in excess of 10% of total revenue were approximately $675,000 and $840,000 at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from the sale by the Company to channel partners, including systems integrators and resellers, and end-users of licenses to sell software products covered by the Company’s patented technologies. These contractual arrangements do not obligate the Company’s channel partners to order, purchase or distribute any fixed or minimum quantities of the Company’s products. In most cases, the channel partners purchase the software license from the Company after they receive an order from an end-user. The channel partners receive orders from various individual end-users; therefore, the sale of a software license to a channel partner may represent sales to multiple end-users. End-users can purchase the Company’s products through more than one channel partner. Revenues can fluctuate based on the timing of software license renewals by channel partners. When a channel partner purchases or renews a software license, the Company receives a license fee in consideration for the grant of a license to sell the Company’s software products and there are no future payment obligations related to such agreement; therefore the license fee the Company receives with respect to a particular license renewal in one period does not have a correlation with revenue in future periods. During the last few years, sales of software licenses to channel partners have comprised a significant part of the Company’s revenue. This is attributable to the timing of when a particular channel partner purchases or renews a software license from the Company and does not represent a dependence on any single channel partner. The Company believes that it is not dependent upon any single channel partner, even those from which revenues were in excess of 10% of the Company’s total revenue in a specific reporting period, and that the loss or termination of the Company’s relationship with any such channel partner would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future operations because either the Company or another channel partner could sell the Company’s previously purchased products. International sales accounted for approximately 5% and 12% of the Company’s total revenue for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company sells its products in U.S. currency only. Vendor Concentration The Company purchases its integrated software components from multiple third-party software providers at competitive prices. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, the Company did not make purchases from any one vendor comprising 10% or more of the Company’s total purchases. The Company made purchases from one vendor that comprised approximately 13% of the Company’s total purchases for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The Company has entered into contractual relationships with some of its vendors; however, the Company does not believe it is substantially dependent upon nor exposed to any significant concentration risk related to purchases from any of its vendors, given the availability of alternative sources for its necessary integrated software components. |

Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nature of Operations |
Nature of Operations Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the development, sale and service of its proprietary software solutions related to mobile imaging solutions and intelligent character recognition software. The Company applies its patented technology in image capture, correction and intelligent data extraction in the mobile financial and business applications market. The Company’s technology for extracting data from any image taken using camera-equipped smartphones and tablets enables the development of consumer-friendly software products that use the camera as a simple mechanism to enter data and complete transactions. Users take a picture of the document and the Company’s products correct image distortion, extract relevant data, route images to their desired location and process transactions through users’ financial institutions. The Company’s Mobile Deposit® product is software that allows users to remotely deposit a check using their camera-equipped smartphone or tablet. As of September 30, 2012, 564 financial institutions, including 28 of the top 50 U.S. retail banks and payment processing companies, have signed agreements to deploy Mobile Deposit®. Of the 564 financial institutions, 205 have deployed Mobile Deposit® with their customers. Other mobile imaging software solutions the Company offers include Mobile Photo Bill Pay™, a mobile bill payment product that allows users to pay their bills using their camera-equipped smartphone or tablet, Mobile Balance Transfer™, a product that allows credit card issuers to provide an offer to users and transfer an existing credit card balance by capturing an image of the user’s current credit card statement, Mobile Enrollment ™, a product that enables users to enroll their checking account as a funding source for mobile payments by taking a photo of a blank check with their camera-equipped smartphone or tablet, and Mobile Photo Quoting™, product that enables users to receive insurance quotes by using their camera-equipped smartphone or tablet to take a picture of their driver’s license and insurance card. The Company’s mobile imaging software solutions can be deployed on all major smartphone and tablet operating systems. The Company markets and sells its mobile imaging software solutions through channel partners or directly to enterprise customers and end-users that typically purchase licenses based on the number of transactions or subscribers that use the Company’s mobile software. The Company’s mobile imaging software solutions are often embedded in other mobile banking or enterprise applications developed by banks, insurance companies or their partners, and marketed under their own proprietary brands. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Basis of Presentation |
Basis of Presentation The financial statements are prepared under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Reclassifications |
Reclassifications Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications do not impact the reported net loss and do not have a material impact on the presentation of the overall financial statements. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates |
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, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon currently available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Earnings (Loss) Per Share |
Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share also gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, such as convertible debt, options, warrants and restricted stock units, if dilutive. At September 30, 2012 and 2011, the following potentially dilutive common shares were excluded from the earnings per share calculation, as they would have been antidilutive:
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition |
Revenue Recognition Revenue from sales of software licenses sold through direct and indirect channels is recognized upon shipment of the related product, if the requirements of ASC Topic 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition (“ASC 985-605”), including evidence of an arrangement, delivery, fixed or determinable fee, collectability and vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) about the fair value of an element are met. If the requirements of ASC 985-605 are not met at the date of shipment, revenue is not recognized until such elements are known or resolved. Customer support services, or maintenance revenues, include post-contract support and the rights to unspecified upgrades and enhancements. VSOE of fair value for customer support is determined by reference to the price the customer pays for such element when sold separately; that is, the renewal rates offered to customers. In those instances when objective and reliable evidence of fair value exists for the undelivered items but not for the delivered items, the residual method is used to allocate the arrangement consideration. Under the residual method, the amount of arrangement consideration allocated to the delivered items equals the total arrangement consideration less the aggregate fair value of the undelivered items. Revenue from post-contract customer support is recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Revenue from professional services is recognized when such services are delivered. When a software sales arrangement requires professional services related to significant production, modification or customization of software, or when a customer considers professional services essential to the functionality of the software product, revenue is recognized based on predetermined milestone objectives required to complete the project, as those milestone objectives are deemed to be substantive in relationship to the work performed. Any expected losses on contracts in progress are recorded in the period in which the losses become probable and reasonably estimable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are defined as highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less. A substantial portion of the Company’s cash is deposited with one financial institution. The Company monitors the financial condition of this financial institution and does not believe that funds on deposit are subject to a significant degree of risk. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Investments |
Investments Investments consist of corporate notes and bonds, and commercial paper. The Company classifies investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. All investments are recorded at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are included in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. The Company evaluates its investments to assess whether those with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Impairments are considered to be other-than-temporary if they are related to deterioration in credit risk or if it is likely that the Company will sell the securities before the recovery of its cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the Statements of Operations. All investments whose maturity or sale is expected within one year are classified as “current” on the balance sheet. All other securities are classified as “long-term” on the balance sheet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements |
Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities are considered representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the contractual payment terms. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s best estimate for probable losses inherent in accounts receivable balances. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $17,773 and $21,344 as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Deferred Maintenance Fees |
Deferred Maintenance Fees Deferred maintenance fees consist of capitalized costs associated with software maintenance fees paid to vendors who supply licenses and maintenance for software embedded in the Company’s products that it sells to customers. These software maintenance fees are typically billed annually to the Company and are amortized to cost of revenue-maintenance and professional services in the Statements of Operations over the maintenance period, which is typically one year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Property and Equipment |
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost. The following is a summary of property and equipment as of September 30, 2012 and 2011:
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the lease or seven years. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment totaled approximately $141,000 and $42,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Included in property and equipment as of September 30, 2012 is approximately $95,000 of equipment purchased under a capital lease. There were no fixed assets acquired under capital leases at September 30, 2011. Depreciation expense related to the equipment purchased under the capital lease was approximately $17,000 in fiscal year 2012 and accumulated depreciation was approximately$17,000 at September 30, 2012. The Company recorded no depreciation expense related to capital leases in fiscal year 2011, nor was there any related accumulated depreciation at September 30, 2011. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations. Total repairs and maintenance expenses were approximately $58,000 and $43,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Long-Lived Assets |
Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, including license agreements and other intangible assets, when events and circumstances indicate that these assets may be impaired or in order to determine whether any revision to the related amortization periods should be made. This evaluation is based on management’s projections of the undiscounted future cash flows associated with each product or asset. If management’s evaluation indicates that the carrying values of these intangible assets were impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company did not record any impairment for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Deferred Revenue |
Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue represents customer billings, paid up front, generally annually at the beginning of each maintenance period, with revenue recognized ratably over such period. For certain other licensing arrangements, revenue attributable to undelivered elements, including post-contract customer support which typically includes telephone support and the right to receive unspecified upgrades and enhancements of software on a when-and-if-available basis, is based upon the sales price of those elements when sold separately and is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Capitalized Software Development Costs |
Capitalized Software Development Costs The Company evaluates its capitalized software development costs at each balance sheet date to determine if the unamortized balance related to any given product exceeds the estimated net realizable value of that product. Any such excess is written off through accelerated amortization in the quarter in which it is identified. Determining net realizable value, as defined by ASC Topic 985-20, Accounting for the Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, requires making estimates and judgments in quantifying the appropriate amount to write off, if any. Actual amounts realized from the software products could differ from those estimates. Also, any future changes to the Company’s product portfolio could result in significant increases to its cost of license revenue as a result of the write-off of capitalized software development costs. The Company recorded amortization of software development costs of approximately $91,000 and $137,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company records amortization of software development costs as cost of revenue-software in the Statements of Operations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Guarantees |
Guarantees In the ordinary course of business, the Company is not subject to potential obligations under guarantees that fall within the scope of ASC Topic 460, Guarantees (“ASC 460”), except for standard indemnification and warranty provisions that are contained within many of the Company’s customer license and service agreements and certain supplier agreements, and give rise only to the disclosure requirements prescribed by ASC 460. Indemnification and warranty provisions contained within the Company’s customer license and service agreements and certain supplier agreements are generally consistent with those prevalent in the Company’s industry. The Company has not historically incurred significant obligations under customer indemnification or warranty provisions and does not expect to incur significant obligations in the future. Accordingly, the Company does not maintain accruals for potential customer indemnification or warranty-related obligations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes |
Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years. Management evaluates the available evidence about future taxable income and other possible sources of realization of deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance reduces deferred tax assets to an amount that represents management’s best estimate of the amount of such deferred tax assets that more likely than not will be realized. See Note 5 for additional details. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. See Note 5 for additional details. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation |
Stock-Based Compensation The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options granted is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line single-option method. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S. Treasury rate that corresponds to the expected life of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Advertising Expense |
Advertising Expense Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled approximately $72,000 and $76,000 during the fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Research and Development |
Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Leases |
Leases Leases are reviewed and classified as capital or operating at their inception. For leases that contain rent escalations, the Company records the total rent payable on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between rent payments and straight-line rent expense is recorded as deferred rent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Segment Reporting |
Segment Reporting ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires the use of a management approach in identifying segments of an enterprise. The Company’s family of products consists of mobile imaging solutions and intelligent character recognition software provided as development toolkits. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, management has determined that the Company has only one operating segment, document image processing and image analytics, based on the Company’s product and service offerings that use its intelligent character recognition and document capture technology. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive loss. The Company has disclosed comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity. Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the balance sheet at September 30, 2012 includes net unrealized gains on the Company’s available-for-sale securities of $9,239. At September 30, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive loss includes net unrealized losses of $9,855 on available-for-sale securities. |
