Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed with SEC on August 6, 2019, which includes the audited and consolidated financial statements for the Company’s fiscal years ended March 31, 2019, March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring items) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2018 and the results of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholder’s deficit for the six months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Certain accounting estimates involve significant judgments, assumptions and estimates by management that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period, which management considers to be critical accounting estimates. The judgments, assumptions and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, management’s experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ materially from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities and the results of operations.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of financial instruments is based on estimates using quoted market prices, discounted cash flows or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. Therefore, the estimates of fair value may differ substantially from amounts that ultimately may be realized or paid at settlement or maturity of the financial instruments, and those differences may be material. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not represent the value as reported by the institution holding the instrument.
The Company uses the three-tier hierarchy established by U.S. GAAP, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value to determine the fair value of its financial instruments. This hierarchy indicates to what extent the inputs used in the Company’s calculations are observable in the market. The different levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
 
  Level 1:
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
  Level 2:
Other than quoted prices that are observable in the market for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations 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 are unobservable and reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in Fiscal 2019
In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU
No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606
), which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Subsequent to the initial ASU the FASB issued the following updates and technical clarifications: ASU
No. 2015-14,
Deferral of the Effective Date
, ASU
No. 2016-08,
Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)
, ASU
No. 2016-10,
Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing
, ASU
No. 2016-02,
Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients
, ASU
2016-20,
Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606
, ASU
No. 2017-13,
Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to the Staff Announcement at the July
 20, 2017 EITF Meeting and Rescission of Prior SEC Staff Announcements and Observer Comments (SEC Update)
and ASU
No. 2018-18,
Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606
. The Company implemented changes to its processes, policies and internal controls to meet the impact of the new standard and disclosure requirements.
On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted Topic 606, using the modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of April 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after April 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s our historic accounting policy. Adoption of Topic 606 did not have a significant impact on recorded revenue in in the three and six months ended September 30, 2018. See Note
6: 
Revenue
 for further details.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.
2016-18,
 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force
) (“ASU
2016-18”).
Previously, transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were included within operating and investing activities on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. ASU
2016-18
requires amounts generally described as restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the total beginning and ending amounts for the periods shown on the statements of cash flows. The Company adopted
ASU 2016-18
beginning April 1, 2018, of fiscal 2019, on a retrospective basis. Upon adoption, the Company’s restricted cash balances of $6.1 million, and $23.0 million at September 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017, respectively, are included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2017-01,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business
(“ASU
2017-01”).
ASU
2017-01
clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether a transaction should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. For public companies, this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted ASU
2017-01
beginning April 1, 2018, or fiscal 2019, using a prospective method. The adoption of ASU
2017-01
did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2017-11,
Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception
(“ASU
2017-11”).
ASU
2017-11
allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered, and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. ASU
2017-11
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company early adopted ASU
2017-11
as of April 1, 2018 and its adoption did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements during the three and six months ended September 30, 2018.
Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
(“ASU
2016-02”).
The New Lease Standard requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases. Lessees will classify their leases as either finance or operating, with classification affecting recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease. However, regardless of classification, both types of leases will be recognized on the balance sheet except for those leases for which the Company has elected the short-term lease practical expedient. The New Lease Standard is effective for the Company on April 1, 2019 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, in which the New Lease Standard is applied to all leases existing at the date of initial application. An entity may choose to use either the effective date or the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements as its date of initial application. The Company will adopt the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and disclosures required under the New Lease Standard will not be provided for dates and periods before April 1, 2019.
 
 
An entity is permitted to elect certain optional practical expedients for transition to the New Lease Standard. The Company elected the package of practical expedients that allows it to not reassess 1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, 2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and 3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. The Company will not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight when determining the lease term.
The New Lease Standard also provides certain optional accounting policy elections related to an entity’s ongoing lease accounting, which can be elected by class of underlying asset. For real estate, vehicles, computers, and office equipment, the Company elected the short-term lease exception whereby the Company will not recognize a lease liability or
right-of-use
asset on its balance sheet for leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease under the New Lease Standard, generally those leases with a term of 12 months or less. The Company also made an accounting policy election to combine
non-lease
and lease components for its leases involving real estate, vehicles, computers and office equipment. Consequently, each separate lease and
non-lease
component associated with that lease will be accounted for as a single combined lease component.
The adoption of the New Lease Standard resulted in the recognition of lease liabilities of $13.5 million and
right-of-use
assets of $12.7 million, which include the impact of existing deferred rents and tenant improvement allowances on the consolidated balance sheet as of April 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU
2016-02
is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or cash flows.
