Use of Estimates

 The preparation of the condensed consolidated 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include valuing equity securities in financing transactions and in share based payment arrangements, accounts receivable reserves, inventory reserves, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, and estimating the fair values of long lived assets to assess whether impairment charges may be necessary. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including accounts receivable and inventory reserves and the carrying amounts of intangible assets could be affected by external conditions including those unique to the Company’s industry and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates that could cause actual results to differ from the Company’s estimates. The Company re-evaluates all of its accounting estimates at least quarterly based on these conditions and record adjustments, when necessary.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously report net income (loss).

Concentrations of Credit Risk

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively the Company’s largest customer accounted for approximately 88% and 78% of total sales. For the nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively the Company’s largest customer accounted for approximately 83% and 77% of total sales. This customer had an accounts receivable balance of $1,571 and $3,941, respectively as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011. Although the Company expects to have a high degree of customer concentration, its customer engagements are typically covered by multi-year contracts or master service agreements under which we have been operating for a number of years. In addition, this customer is comprised of multiple semi-autonomous operating units covered by a master services agreement which the Company believes mitigates potential risk. Also, current economic conditions could harm the liquidity of and/or financial position of the Company’s customers or suppliers, which could in turn cause such parties to fail to meet their contractual or other obligations to the Company.

The Company maintains deposits in financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At various times, the Company has deposits in these financial institutions in excess of the amount insurance by the FDIC.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, ASU 2011-08 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives should be tested for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying value (a triggering event).

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. GAAP requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests when circumstances indicate that the recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill may be in doubt. 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. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment. Upon consideration of our operations, we have determined Beacon operates a single reporting unit.

The Company reviews goodwill for possible impairment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of the assets. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value of net asset, no goodwill impairment is deemed to exist, except in circumstances in which the carrying value is less than zero. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is less than zero or the fair value does not exceed the carrying value, goodwill is tested for impairment and written down to its implied value if it is determined to be impaired.

The Company believes that such conditions existed in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 that an interim test of goodwill was required based on a triggering event.  The Company reviewed goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2012 and determined the fair value of goodwill exceeded the carrying value and no impairment was deemed to exist.  As a result of the triggering event related to goodwill, the Company also evaluated the fair value of its definite lived intangibles.  This review resulted in the determination that an impairment of these intangible assets existed.  These assets relate to customer relationships recorded in an acquisition.  The impairment resulted in a non-cash impairment expense of $2,062.

The fair value of goodwill will continue to be evaluated on a periodic basis. The fair value of goodwill as of June 30, 2012 was determined using a combination of the income and market approach to be approximately $3,500 as compared to a book value of $2,791. Should the Company continue to experience losses or the fair value of assets or liabilities decrease significantly, the fair value of the goodwill could become impaired as well. This determination could result in an additional non-cash charge in order to properly record goodwill based on its fair value.

The recoverability of the intangible assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the undiscounted cash flows the asset or asset group is expected to generate. The undiscounted cash flows did not exceed the carrying amount of the assets in this circumstance. The impairment charge was recorded in the Company’s Other - North America segment

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable of $2,398 and $5,117 as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively include customer billings on invoices issued after the service is rendered or the sale earned. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of customer’s financial condition and advance payment is required for some of the Company’s services.

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the Company’s best estimate of the amount of potential credit losses based on specific customer information and historical experience. Changes in economic conditions might result in changes to the estimated allowance. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $368 and $1,365 as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory consists of parts and system components of $0 and $70 as of June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively, and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. In the case of slow moving items, the Company calculates a reserve for obsolescence to reflect a reduced marketability for the items. As of September 30, 2011, the inventory was fully reserved.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax liabilities represent the difference between the financial reporting and income tax bases of tax deductible goodwill, which is an asset with an indefinite life and therefore cannot be used to offset net deferred tax assets for purposes of establishing a valuation allowance.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities, consisting of options and warrants, are excluded from the calculation of diluted per share data when they have an anti-dilutive effect or their per share exercise price is greater than the average market price of common stock during the periods presented. The computation of net income (loss) available to common stockholders per share for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, excludes potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion could be anti-dilutive.

Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of potentially dilutive securities as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No.2011-08, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing for Goodwill Impairment” which permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The amendments in this update are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has elected early adoption with no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)”. The amendments in this Update supersede certain pending paragraphs in Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, to effectively defer only those changes in Update 2011—5 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect this update to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect this update to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
