1.                                    Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Iteris, Inc. (referred to collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiary, ClearAg, Inc., in this report as “Iteris,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”) is a provider of essential applied informatics that enable smart transportation and digital agriculture. Municipalities, government agencies, crop science companies, farmers and agronomists use our solutions to make roads safer and travel more efficient, as well as farmlands more sustainable, healthy and productive. As a pioneer in intelligent transportation systems (“ITS”) technology for more than two decades, our intellectual property, products, software-as-a-service offerings and weather forecasting systems offer a comprehensive range of ITS solutions to customers throughout the U.S. and internationally. In the agribusiness markets, we have combined our intellectual property with enhanced atmospheric, land surface and agronomic modeling techniques to offer smart content and analytic solutions that provide analytical support to large enterprises in the agriculture industry, such as seed and crop protection companies, integrated food companies, and agricultural equipment manufacturers and service providers. We believe our products, solutions and services improve and safely optimize mobility within our communities, while minimizing environmental impact on the roads we travel and the lands we farm. We continue to make significant investments to leverage our existing technologies and further expand both our advanced detection sensors and performance analytics systems in the transportation infrastructure market, while supporting the agriculture market with our smart content and digital farming platform. Iteris was incorporated in Delaware in 1987.

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Iteris, Inc. and its subsidiary, and have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting, which permit certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) to be condensed or omitted. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 (“Fiscal 2018”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 (“Fiscal 2019”) or any other periods.

The results of continuing operations for all periods presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements exclude our former Vehicle Sensors segment, which has been classified as a discontinued operation. See Note 3, “Sale of Vehicle Sensors,” for further discussion related to the discontinued operation presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue recognition, the collectability of accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts, projections of taxable income used to assess realizability of deferred tax assets, warranty reserves and other contingencies, costs to complete long-term contracts, indirect cost rates used in cost plus contracts, the valuation of inventores, the valuation of purchased intangible assets and goodwill, the valuation of equity instruments, estimates of future cash flows used to assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and the impairment of goodwill, and fair value of our stock option awards used to calculate the stock-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”)

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, including its subsequent amendments as codified under ASC Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective approach to apply ASC 606 to all contracts that were not completed as of the beginning of Fiscal Year 2019. ASC 606 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition principle that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Results for reporting periods beginning after March 31, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts and disclosures are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. As a result, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC 606 as an increase to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the amount of approximately $0.2 million as of April 1, 2018. The impact of the adoption of the new standard is immaterial to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, statement of operations, and cash flows.

Table of Contents

The following table represents the impact of adopting ASC 606 on our opening Consolidated Balance sheet as of April 1, 2018:

Changes in Accounting Policies as a Result of Adopting ASC 606 and Nature of Goods and Services

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to our customers, in a gross amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We generate all of our revenue from contracts with customers.

Product revenue related contracts with customers begin when we acknowledge a purchase order for a specific customer order of product to be delivered in the near term. These purchase orders are short-term in nature. Product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product, depending on shipping terms.  The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of goods as transfer of control typically occurs upon shipment or upon customer receipt of the product.

Service revenues, primarily derived from the Transportation Systems and Agriculture and Weather Analytics segments, are primarily from long-term engineering and consulting service contracts with governmental agencies. These contracts generally include performance obligations in which control is transferred over time. We recognize revenue on fixed fee contracts, over time, using the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract performance obligation.  The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as the proportion closely depicts the efforts or inputs completed towards the satisfaction of a fixed fee contract performance obligation. Time & Materials (“T&M”) and Cost Plus Fixed Fee (“CPFF”) contracts are considered variable consideration. However, performance obligations with these fee types qualify for the “Right to Invoice” Practical Expedient. Under this practical expedient, the Company is allowed to recognize revenue, over time, in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice.  In addition, the Company is not required to estimate such variable consideration upon inception of the contract and reassess the estimate each reporting period. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as, upon billing, the Company has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that directly corresponds with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date.

Service revenues also consist of revenues derived from maintenance support and the use of the Company’s service platforms and APIs on a subscription basis. We generate this revenue from fees for maintenance support, monthly active user fees, software as a service (“SaaS”) fees, and hosting and storage fees. In most cases, the subscription or transaction arrangement is a single performance obligation comprised of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). The Company applies a time-based measure of progress to the total transaction price, which results in ratable recognition over the term of the contract. The Company determined that this method best represents the transfer of services as the customer obtains equal benefit from the service throughout the service period.

The Company accounts for individual goods and services separately if they are distinct performance obligations, which often requires significant judgment based upon knowledge of the products and/or services, the solution provided and the structure of the sales contract. In SaaS agreements, we provide a service to the customer which combines the software functionality, maintenance and hosting into a single performance obligation. In product related contracts, a purchase order may contain different products, each constituting a separate performance obligation.

Table of Contents

We generally estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled and in certain cases based on the expected value, which requires judgment. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We review and update these estimates on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s typical performance obligations include the following:

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into reportable segments and the nature of the products and services. See Note 10 for our revenue by reportable segment.

Trade Accounts Receivable and Contract Balances

We classify our right to consideration in exchange for goods and services as either a receivable or a contract asset. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment is due). We present such receivables in trade accounts receivable, net in our unaudited consolidated balance sheet at their net estimated realizable value. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. If warranted, the allowance is increased by the Company’s provision for doubtful accounts, which is charged against income. All recoveries on receivables previously charged off are included in income, while direct charge-offs of receivables are deducted from the allowance.

A contract asset is a right to consideration that is conditional upon factors other than the passage of time. Contract assets are  presented as unbilled accounts receivable on the accompanying balance sheet. For example, we would record a contract asset if we record revenue on a professional services engagement, but are not entitled to bill until we achieve specified milestones.

Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

Contract Fulfillment Costs

The Company evaluates whether or not we should capitalize the costs of fulfilling a contract. Such costs would be capitalized when they are not within the scope of other standards and: (1) are directly related to a contract; (2) generate or enhance resources that will be used to satisfy performance obligations; and (3) are expected to be recovered. As of December 31, 2018, we capitalized approximately $224,000 of contract fulfillment costs which are presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet as prepaid and other current assets. These costs primarily relate to the satisfaction of performance obligations related to the set up of SaaS platforms. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the SaaS platform.

Table of Contents

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2018, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was immaterial primarily as a result of termination provisions within our contracts which make the duration of the accounting term of the contract one year or less.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

T&M and CPFF contracts are considered variable consideration. However, performance obligations with an underlying fee type of T&M or CPFF qualify for the “Right to Invoice” Practical Expedient under ASC 606-10-55-18. Under this practical expedient, the Company is not required to estimate such variable consideration upon inception of the contract and reassess the estimate each reporting period.

The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-50-14 of not disclosing information about its remaining performance obligations for contracts with an original expected duration (i.e., contract term, determined based on the analysis of termination provisions described above) of 12 months or less.

The Company pays sales commissions on certain sales contracts.  These costs are accrued in the same period that the revenues are recorded. Using the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-25-4, the Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred since the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

The Company utilizes the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-25-18B to account for shipping and handling as fulfillment costs, and not a promised service (a revenue element). Shipping and handling costs are included as cost of revenues in the period during which the products ship.

The Company excludes from the transaction price all sales taxes that are assessed by a governmental authority and that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected from a customer (for example, sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes). This employs the practical expedient under ASC 606-10-32-2A. Sales taxes are presented on a net basis (excluded from revenues) in the Company’s unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets is comprised of refund liabilities related to billings and consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of demand deposits and money market funds maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and are maintained with high quality financial institutions, and therefore are believed to have minimal credit risk.

Our accounts receivable are primarily derived from billings with customers located throughout North America, as well as in Europe and South America. We generally do not require collateral or other security from our customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for potential credit losses, which losses have historically been within management’s expectations.

We have historically had a diverse customer base. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, one individual customer represented approximately 11% and 14%, respectively, of our total revenues and no other individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenues. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, one individual customer represented approximately 20% and 22%, respectively, of our total revenues and no other individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total revenues. As of December 31, 2018, no individual customer represented greater than 10% our total accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2018, one customer represented approximately 13% of our total accounts receivable, and no other individual customer represented greater than 10% of our total accounts receivable.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value because of the short period of time to maturity. Our investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The framework for measuring fair value and related disclosure requirements about fair value measurements are provided in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). This pronouncement defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820 contains three levels as follows:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or 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.

Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments with initial maturities of 90 days or less.

Investments

The Company’s investments are classified as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading, in accordance with FASB ASC 320, Capital Investments Capital Debt and Capital Equity Capital Securities (“ASC 320”). Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity. Trading securities are those securities that the Company intends to sell in the near term. All other securities not included in the held-to-maturity or trading category are classified as available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost which approximates fair market value. Trading securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses charged to earnings. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded within accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available (see Note 4). Under FASB ASC 320-10-35, a security is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are less than the security’s amortized cost basis (the difference being defined as the “Credit Loss”) or if the fair value of the security is less than the security’s amortized cost basis and the investor intends, or will be required, to sell the security before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. If an other-than-temporary impairment exists, the charge to earnings is limited to the amount of Credit Loss if the investor does not intend to sell the security, and will not be required to sell the security, before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis. Any remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost is recognized in other comprehensive loss, net of applicable taxes. The Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value of its investments is other-than-temporary at each quarter-end. This evaluation consists of a review by management, and includes market pricing information and maturity dates for the securities held, market and economic trends in the industry and information on the issuer’s financial condition and, if applicable, information on the guarantors’ financial condition. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the length of time and extent to which the investment’s fair value has been less than its cost basis, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and guarantors, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer and the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery of fair value.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets were approximately $747,000 as of December 31, 2018.  Prepaid expenses and other current assets were $1.2 million as of March 31, 2018 and included approximately $130,000 of cash designated as collateral on performance bonds, as required under certain of our Transportation Systems contracts in the Middle East. The performance bonds required us to maintain 100% cash value of the bonds as collateral in a bank that is local to the purchasing agency. The performance bond collateral was required throughout the delivery of our services and was maintained in the local bank until the contract was closed by the purchasing agency. The requirements on the remaining performance bonds, and the related cash collateral restrictions, were released during the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The collectability of our accounts receivable is evaluated through review of outstanding invoices and ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition. In cases where we are aware of circumstances that may impair a specific customer’s ability to meet its financial obligations subsequent to the original sale, we will record an allowance against amounts due, and thereby reduce the net recognized accounts receivable to the amount we reasonably believe will be collected. We also maintain an allowance based on our historical collections experience. When we determine that collection is not likely, we write off accounts receivable against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

Inventories consist of finished goods, work in process and raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first in, first out method.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life ranging from three to eight years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the term of the related lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.

Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

We perform an annual qualitative assessment of our goodwill during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently, to determine if any events or circumstances exist, such as an adverse change in business climate or a decline in overall industry demand, that would indicate that it would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, including goodwill. If events or circumstances do not indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount, then goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If further testing is required, we perform a two-step process. The first step involves comparing the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the test is performed by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill in the reporting unit to its implied fair value. An impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the carrying value of goodwill over its implied fair value. We determine the fair values of our reporting units using the income valuation approach, as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies.

In Fiscal 2017, we adopted the provisions issued by the FASB that were intended to simplify goodwill impairment testing. This guidance permits us to eliminate the second step of the goodwill impairment test, and eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, if any, is recognized as an impairment loss. We monitor the indicators for goodwill impairment testing between annual tests. As of December 31, 2018, we determined that no adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill were required.

We test long-lived assets and purchased intangible assets (other than goodwill) for impairment if we believe indicators of impairment exist. We determine whether the carrying value of an asset or asset group is recoverable, based on comparisons to undiscounted expected future cash flows the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If an asset is not recoverable, we record an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value. We primarily use the income valuation approach to determine the fair value of our long lived assets and purchased intangible assets. As of December 31, 2018, there was no impairment to our long-lived and intangible assets.

Income Taxes

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, which increases our income tax expense in the period such determination is made. As such, we determined it was appropriate to record a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. We will continuously reassess the appropriateness of maintaining a valuation allowance.

Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold to be recognized. Income tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met.

Stock-Based Compensation

We record stock-based compensation in our consolidated statements of operations as an expense, based on the estimated grant date fair value of our stock-based awards, whereby such fair values are amortized over the requisite service period. Our stock-based awards are currently comprised of common stock options and restricted stock units. The fair value of our common stock option awards is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula. While utilizing this model meets established requirements, the estimated fair values generated by it may not be indicative of the actual fair values of our common stock option awards as it does not consider certain factors important to those awards to employees, such as continued employment and periodic vesting requirements, as well as limited transferability. The fair value of our restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. If there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested stock-based awards, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned stock-based compensation expense.

Research and Development Expenditures

Research and development expenditures are charged to expense in the period incurred.

Warranty

We generally provide a one to three year warranty from the original invoice date on all products, materials and workmanship. Products sold to various original equipment manufacturer customers sometimes carry longer warranties. Defective products will be either repaired or replaced, usually at our option, upon meeting certain criteria. We accrue a provision for the estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties relating to a product as a component of cost of sales at the time revenue for that product is recognized. The accrued warranty reserve is included within accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We do not provide any service-type warranties.

Comprehensive Loss

The difference between net loss and comprehensive loss was de minimis for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018. Comprehensive loss equaled net loss for three and nine months ended December 31, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). The pronouncement requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases on the entity’s balance sheet for both finance and operating leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, an entity can elect to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities and expense the lease over a straight-line basis for the term of the lease. ASU 2016-02 will require new disclosures that depict the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows pertaining to an entity’s leases. ASU 2016-02 requires entities to adopt the new standard using a modified retrospective approach for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of ASU 2016-02 is permitted. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). In issuing ASU 2018-11, the FASB decided to provide another transition method in addition to the existing transition method by allowing entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company currently expects that most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption. Therefore, the Company expects this adoption will result in a material increase in the long-term assets and long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. Enhanced disclosures will also be required to give financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company plans to adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 and is currently continuing its assessment, which may identify other impacts the revised standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740), and Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“ASU 2018-05”). ASU 2018-05 adds various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of the December 2017 SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), which was effective immediately. The SEC issued SAB 118 to address concerns about reporting entities’ ability to timely comply with the accounting requirements to recognize all of the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) in the period of enactment. SAB 118 allows disclosure that timely determination of some or all of the income tax effects from the Tax Act are incomplete by the due date of the financial statements and if possible to provide a reasonable estimate. The Company has accounted for the tax effects of the Tax Act under the guidance of SAB 118, on a provisional basis. The Company’s accounting for certain income tax effects is incomplete, but the Company has determined what it believes are reasonable estimates for those effects and has recorded provisional amounts in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018.

Table of Contents

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting(“ASU 2018-07”), which expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation to include share-based payment transaction for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirement for Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements.

3.                                    Sale of Vehicle Sensors

On July 29, 2011, we completed the sale (the “Asset Sale”) of substantially all of our assets used in connection with our prior Vehicle Sensors segment to Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC (“Bendix”), a member of Knorr Bremse Group. In connection with the Asset Sale, we are entitled to additional consideration in the form of the following performance and royalty related earn-outs: Bendix was obligated to pay us an amount in cash equal to 85% of revenue associated with royalties received under our license and distribution agreements with Audiovox Electronics Corporation and Valeo Schalter and Sensoren GmbH through December 31, 2017, subject to certain reductions and limitations set forth in the asset purchase agreement. From the date of the Asset Sale, through December 31, 2018, we received approximately $2.7 million in connection with royalty-related earn-outs provisions for a total of $18 million in cash received from the Asset Sale.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we determined that the Vehicle Sensors segment, which constituted one of our operating segments, qualified as a discontinued operation. For the nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we recorded a gain on sale of discontinued operation of approximately $0 and $258,000, respectively, net of tax, related to the earn-out provisions of the asset purchase agreement for the Asset Sale.

4.                                    Fair Value Measurements

We measure 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. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2, defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or prices quoted in inactive markets; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring management to utilize its own assumptions to provide its best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

Our non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally when there is a transaction involving those assets such as a purchase transaction, a business combination or an adjustment for impairment. No non-financial assets were measured at fair value at December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018. The following tables present the Company’s financial assets that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated among the appropriate levels within the fair value hierarchy:

5.                                      Income Taxes

The effective tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective tax rate, based on current estimate of full year results, except that taxes related to specific events, if any, are recorded in the interim period in which they occur.

Income tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $24,000, or 1.0% of the pre-tax loss as compared with a benefit of approximately $1.4 million, or 122.0% of pre-tax loss for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Income tax expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $21,000, or (0.4%) of the pre-tax loss as compared with a benefit of approximately $1.4 million, or 50.7% of pre-tax loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2017.

In assessing the realizability of our deferred tax assets, we review all available positive and negative evidence, including reversal of deferred tax liabilities, potential carrybacks, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial performance. As we have experienced a cumulative pre-tax loss over the trailing three years, we continue to maintain a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.

The Tax Act was enacted on December 22, 2017 and the Company accounted for the effects of the Tax Act in the period of enactment. Also, on December 22, 2017, the SEC issued guidance under SAB 118 directing taxpayers to consider the impact of the Tax Act as “provisional” when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the change in tax law. In accordance with SAB 118, the income tax effects of the Tax Act represent the Company’s best estimate based on its current interpretation of the enacted legislation. The Company is accumulating data to finalize the underlying calculations and evaluate other aspects of this Tax Act, or in certain cases, the U.S. Treasury is expected to issue further guidance on the application of certain provisions of the Tax Act. In accordance with SAB 118, the income tax effects of the Tax Act discussed above are considered provisional and will be finalized in the current fiscal year.

6.                                      Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Other Contingencies

As a provider of traffic engineering services, hardware products, software and other various solutions for the traffic and agricultural industries, the Company is, and may in the future from time to time, be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. While the Company cannot accurately predict the outcome of any such litigation, the Company is not a party to any legal proceeding, the outcome of which, in management’s opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Related Party Transaction

We previously subleased office space to Maxxess Systems, Inc. (“Maxxess”), one of our former subsidiaries that we sold in September 2003. The sublease terminated in September 2007, at which time Maxxess owed us an aggregate of $274,000. Maxxess executed a promissory note for such amount, which was subsequently amended and restated on July 23, 2013, August 11, 2016 and on August 11, 2018. The amended and restated note bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually, with accrued interest payable annually on the first business day of each calendar year. When authorized by the Company, Maxxess may pay down the balance of this note by providing consulting services to Iteris. We have previously fully reserved for amounts owed to us by Maxxess and the outstanding principal balance remains fully reserved. As of December 31, 2018, approximately $146,000 of the original principal balance was outstanding and payable to Iteris. Maxxess is currently owned by an investor group that includes, among others, one former Iteris director, who has not been a director of Iteris since September 2013, and one existing director of Iteris, who currently owns less than 2% of Maxxess’ capital stock.

7.                                      Stock-Based Compensation

We currently maintain two stock incentive plans, the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Of these plans, we may only grant future awards from the 2016 Plan. The 2016 Plan allows for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), cash incentive awards and other stock-based awards. At December 31, 2018, there were approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock available for grant or issuance under the 2016 Plan. Total stock options vested and expected to vest were approximately 5.1 million as of December 31, 2018.
