Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the March 31, 2015 audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the information set forth herein.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), but omit certain information and footnote disclosures necessary to present the financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  The accompanying condensed financial statements contemplate the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, filed on June 26, 2015.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive Income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of the Company during the period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding transactions resulting from investments by owners and other distributions to owners.   For the three and six months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized an increase in the estimated fair value of its investment in NanoVibronix, which it holds as long term investments available-for-sale.  The unrealized gain on this investment for the current three and six month periods are $41 and $460, respectively.  For the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income (loss).  Therefore the net loss in the prior period equaled the comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014.
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 and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could vary from those estimates.
Change in Accounting Estimate
Change in Accounting Estimate

Upon the original acquisition of the private company called CollabRx, the Company determined that the lives of intangible assets were determined to be between 3 years to 10 years.  Originally, the life of the acquired developed technology software was determined to be ten years, expiring in July 2022, and the life of the customer relationships was determined to be five years, expiring in July 2017.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the Company determined facts and circumstances existed that indicated the useful lives of these two intangible assets were shorter than originally estimated.  The Company has adjusted the lives of its acquired developed technology and its customer relationships and now expects the lives of these assets to expire no later than March 2016.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments.  The Company’s accounts receivable balance is also subject to credit risk. Substantially all of the Company’s cash equivalents are held in liquid cash accounts.  The Company’s accounts receivable are derived primarily from sales to customers located in the United States.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally requires no collateral. The Company no longer maintains reserves for potential credit losses. There have been no write-offs during the periods presented.

For the three months ended September 30, 2015, four customers accounted for 31.7%, 20.5%, 15.5% and 12.3%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue.  For the six months ended September 30, 2015, four customers accounted for 25.4%, 21.7%, 13.0% and 12.5%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, three customers accounted for 28.4%, 28.4% and 14.2%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue.  For the six months ended September 30, 2014, four customers accounted for 20.9%, 20.9%, 17.4% and 10.4%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue.

As of September 30, 2015, one customer accounted for 98.0% of the balance in accounts receivable.  Two customers accounted for 92.1% of the balance in accounts receivable as of September 30, 2014.    As of March 31, 2015, three customers accounted for 95% of our trade accounts receivable balance.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments having a maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

As of September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, all of the Company’s cash equivalents are included as Level 1 assets on the fair value hierarchy, and were held in the form of money market funds in the condensed balance sheets.
Promissory Notes Payable
Promissory Notes Payable

On July 12, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the private company called CollabRx, pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 29, 2012.  As part of the purchase price, the Company assumed $500 of existing CollabRx indebtedness through the issuance of the promissory notes.  The principal of the promissory notes is payable in equal installments on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of issuance, along with the accrued but unpaid interest as of such dates.  On July 13, 2015, the Company made a $208 payment of principal and accrued interest.  Principal payments of $167 and $166, together with accrued interest, will be made in July 2016 and July 2017, respectively.
Investment
Investment

On November 22, 2011, the Company completed a $300 strategic investment in NanoVibronix, Inc., (“NanoVibronix”) a private company that develops medical devices and products that implement its proprietary therapeutic ultrasound technology.  The Company’s investment in NanoVibronix was in the form of a convertible promissory note that bears interest at a rate of 10% per year compounded annually, which matured on November 15, 2014.  Our investment was intended to precede a possible merger of the two companies.  However, those discussions were terminated by mutual agreement between the parties and NanoVibronix, Inc. continued to operate as a private company.  NanoVibronix filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with a proposed initial public offering.  In connection with the planned offering, the parties agreed that the Convertible Promissory Note will be converted into common stock of NanoVibronix.
 
On February 9, 2015 NanoVibronix filed a Form 10 with the SEC.  On February 10, 2015, the series B-1 promissory note held by CollabRx was converted into Series B-1 preferred shares. Coincident with the effectiveness of this filing, the Series B-1 preferred shares held by CollabRx was converted into 204,507 shares of NanoVibronix common stock, representing 8.9% of the 2,289,682 shares of total common shares outstanding as of January 30, 2015.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Convertible Promissory Note was converted into a cost investment on the Company’s condensed balance sheets at the carrying value of the note upon maturity.  As of March 31, 2015, the Convertible Promissory Note balance was $399, consisting of the original $300 investment and $99 in accrued interest income.   At that time, the Company believed the maturity date value of the Convertible Promissory Note approximated the fair value of the investment as of March 31, 2015, as NanoVibronix did not yet have an effective market price. 

In May 2015, NanoVibronix, Inc. became a public company and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer became a member of the NanoVibronix, Inc. Board of Directors.  For the three and six months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized an increase in the estimated fair value of its investment in NanoVibronix, which it holds as long-term investments available for sale.  The unrealized gain on this investment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 is $41.  For the six months ended September 30, 2015, the unrealized gain on this investment is $460. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income (loss).  Therefore the net loss in the prior period equaled the comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014.

The unrealized gain in the six months ended September 30, 2015 reflects the share price of NanoVibronix on September 30, 2015 in excess of its cost basis. The NanoVibronix ticker symbol is “NAOV”.  While this stock is thinly traded, the share price is our best estimate of the fair value of this investment.

On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the fair value of our investment may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if our estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment.
Accounts Receivable - Allowance for Sales Returns and Doubtful Accounts
Accounts Receivable – Allowance for Sales Returns and Doubtful Accounts

As September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively, the Company had zero reserves for potential credit losses as such risk was determined to be insignificant.  The Company does not currently maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for potential estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments.  The Company believes no such reserve is currently required.  The Company had zero write-offs during the periods presented.  The Company reviews the estimated risk of current customers’ inability to make payments on a quarterly basis to determine if any amount is uncollectible.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue
Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

Each contract sale of our interpretive data is evaluated individually in regard to revenue recognition.  The Company has integrated in our evaluation the related guidance included in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the seller’s price is fixed or determinable, delivery has occurred, and collectability is reasonably assured.

For arrangements that include multiple deliverables, the Company identifies separate units of accounting based on the guidance under ASC 605-25, Multiple Element Arrangements, which provides that revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting, if certain criteria are met.  The consideration of the arrangement is allocated to the separate units of accounting using the relative fair value method.  Applicable revenue recognition criteria are considered separately for each separate unit of accounting.
 
Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognized primarily under the percentage of completion method.  Under this method the Company recognizes estimated contract revenue and resulting income based on costs incurred to date as a percentage of the total estimated costs as the Company considers this model to best reflect the economics of these contracts.  In such contracts, the Company’s efforts, measured by time incurred, typically represents the contractual milestones or output measure.   If at any time during the contract period, the Company determines that a loss will occur, the Company recognizes the loss in that period. Furthermore, if in previous periods a profit was recognized under the percentage-of completion method, the profit would be reversed during the period the Company determined a loss on the contract exists.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. Under ASC 740, the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company evaluates annually its ability to realize our deferred tax assets by assessing our valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include our forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets.  In 2015 and 2014, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets based on our past losses and uncertainty regarding our ability to project future taxable income. In future periods, if the Company is able to generate income the Company may reduce or eliminate the valuation allowance.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the Company considers what assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance.   The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
 
· Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities.

· Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

· Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.  The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of liquid cash accounts denominated in U.S. dollars.  As of September 30, 2015, the investment balance of $859 included in the condensed balance sheets is considered Level 2 and is re-measured on a recurring basis.  The value of money market funds was immaterial at September 30, 2015. 
Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Intangible assets include patents, trade names, software, non-compete agreements, customer relationships and trademarks that are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three to ten years.  The Company performs an ongoing review of its identified intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances exist that indicate the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or the carrying amount may not be recoverable.  If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses the recoverability of identified intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flow associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts.  Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets.   As of the current reporting period, the Company’s remaining intangible assets, not including those related to the acquisition of CollabRx, were internally developed, which have a carrying value of zero. Currently the Company expenses all costs incurred to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset.
 
With the acquisition of CollabRx, the Company acquired software, trade names, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and goodwill.  The lives of the acquired intangible assets range from three to ten years.  Intangible assets, except for trade names and goodwill, are amortized on a straight-line basis.  Intangible assets related to trade names and goodwill are not amortized.  The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.  The fair values of these assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount might not be recoverable.  No impairment charges for intangible assets or goodwill were recorded for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  The Company recognized $43 and $52 of amortization expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.   The amortization expense included in cost of revenue is related to the acquired software and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the updated expected life of the asset.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value of the assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted several stock plans that provide for issuance of equity instruments to our employees and non-employee directors. Our plans include incentive and non-statutory stock options and restricted stock awards.  These equity awards generally vest ratably over a four-year period on the anniversary date of the grant, and stock options expire ten years after the grant date. Certain restricted stock awards may vest on the achievement of specific performance targets.  The Company also had an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), allowing qualified employees to purchase Company shares at 85% of the fair market value on specified dates.  The ESPP was allowed to expire on July 22, 2014 and has not been renewed.
 
Total stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 was $32 and $68, respectively.  Total stock-based compensation related to stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 was $160 and $253, respectively.
 
The Company utilized the following valuation assumptions to estimate the fair value of options that were granted during the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  There were no options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

The Company’s ESPP plan expired in the prior fiscal year.  No ESPP awards were made in the three or six month period ended September 30, 2015 nor are any future ESPP awards expected to be made.  Prior ESPP awards were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with expected volatility calculated using a six-month historical volatility.
 
Valuation and Other Assumptions for Stock Options
 
Valuation and Amortization Method.    The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value using a single option approach and amortizes the fair value on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which are generally the vesting periods.
 
Expected Term. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding. The Company estimates the expected term of options granted based on our historical experience of exercises including post-vesting exercises and termination.
 
Expected Volatility.    The Company estimates the volatility of our stock options at the date of grant using historical volatilities.  Historical volatilities are calculated based on the historical prices of our common stock over a period at least equal to the expected term of our option grants.
 
Risk-Free Interest Rate.    The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model on U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon issues with remaining terms equivalent to the expected term of our option grants.
 
Dividends.    The Company has never paid any cash dividends on common stock and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
Forfeitures.    The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures. The Company record stock-based compensation only for those awards that are expected to vest.

During the six months ended September 30, 2015, the Company granted no options either to any current employees or to any current members of the Board of Directors.
