Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined 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 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy, which is based on three levels of inputs, the first two of which are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, is as follows:

 

•

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

 

•

Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; 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—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments, other than its stock warrants, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and convertible notes payable. The Company has determined that the carrying values of these instruments for the periods presented approximate fair value due to their short-term nature and the relatively stable current interest rate environment.

 

The Company’s stock warrants are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Stock warrants have been recorded at their fair value using a probability-weighted expected return model. This model incorporates contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates and volatility. The value of the Company’s stock warrants would increase if a higher risk free interest rate were used, and the value of the Company’s stock warrants would decrease if a lower risk free interest rate were used. Similarly, a higher volatility assumption would increase the value of the stock warrants, and a lower volatility assumption would decrease the value of the stock warrants. The unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are developed and determined by the Company’s management with the assistance of a third party valuation specialist.

The following table summarizes quantitative information with respect to the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s stock warrants that are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy:

 

		December 31, 2016
Volatility			80.0	%
Risk free rate			1.84	%
Discount for lack of marketability			20.0	%

The following table represents a reconciliation of the Level 3 measurement of the Company’s Primary Warrant (see related discussion in Note 3):

 

Balance, December 31, 2016		$	7,114
Less: Change in fair value of warrant liability			(7,114	)
Balance, June 30, 2017		$	—

In addition, in May 2017, upon exercise of the Primary Warrant, the Company issued to Acacia a five-year warrant to purchase 809,400 shares of the Company’s common stock, or 10% Warrant. The fair value of the 10% Warrant under Level 3 measurement is $5,790 (see related discussion in Note 3).

The following table summarizes quantitative information with respect to the significant unobservable inputs used for the Company’s 10% Warrant that are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy:

 

		May 17, 2017
Volatility			70.0	%
Risk free rate			1.44	%
Discount for lack of marketability			0	%

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive when products are transferred to customers. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in its year ended December 31, 2019, and for interim periods beginning with its first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Subsequently, the FASB has issued the following standards related to ASU 2014-09: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations; ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing; ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; and ASU 2016-20, Technical Correction and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contract with Customers. The Company must adopt ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20 with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the “new revenue standards”). The new revenue standards may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or prospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the method and timing of its adoption and the impact of adopting the new revenue standards on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015–17, “Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740),” to require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified entirely as non-current. This ASU is effective for the Company in its year ended December 31, 2018 and for interim periods beginning with its first quarter of 2019. Early adoption is permitted, and the amended guidance may be applied prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The amendments under this pronouncement will change the way all leases with duration of one year of more are treated. Under this guidance, lessees will be required to capitalize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated financing lease liability or capital lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as financing leases or operating leases. Financing lease liabilities, those that contain provisions similar to capitalized leases, are amortized in the same manner as capital leases are amortized under current accounting rules, as amortization expense and interest expense in the statement of operations. Operating lease liabilities are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as lease expense in the statement of operations. This ASU is effective for the Company in its year ended December 31, 2020 and for interim periods beginning with its first quarter of 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its policies and procedures pertaining to its existing and future lease arrangements, disclosure requirements and on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification on the statement of cash flows and treatment of forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the Company in its year ended December 31, 2018 and for interim periods beginning with its first quarter of 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230),” a consensus of the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force,” which provides guidance intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company in its year ended December 31, 2019 and for interim periods beginning with its first quarter of 2020. Early adoption is permitted. This adoption is not expected to have any significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting,” which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements. Under the standard, an entity should not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions, and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 still applies regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in this update. The standard is effective for the Company beginning the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
