Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2022.

Financial Statement Presentation.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In addition, any change in these estimates or their related assumptions could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

Revenue Recognition.

Our revenues arise from the sale of laser consoles, delivery devices, consumables, service, and support activities. We also derive revenue from royalties from third parties which are typically based on the licensees’ net sales of products that utilize our technology. Our revenue is recognized in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The Company recognizes revenue using the five-step model: (1) identifying the contract with the customer, (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determining expected transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognizing revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company has the following revenue transaction types: (1) Product Sale Only, (2) Service Contracts, (3) System Repairs (outside of warranty), (4) Royalty Revenue and (5) Exclusive Distribution Rights.

(1)

Product Sale Only: The Company’s products consist of laser consoles, delivery devices and consumable instrumentation, including laser probes. The Company’s products are currently sold for use by ophthalmologists specializing in the treatment of glaucoma and retinal diseases. Inside the United States and Germany the products are sold directly to the end users. In other countries outside of the United States and Germany, the Company utilizes independent, third-party distributors to market and sell the Company’s products. There is no continuing obligation after shipment is made to these distributors.

The Company recognizes revenue from product sale at a point in time subject to the allocation of transaction price to additional performance obligations, if any.

(2)

Service Contracts: The Company offers a standard two-year warranty on all system sales. The Company also offers a service contract which is sold to customers in incremental, one-year periods which begin subsequent to the expiration of the standard two-year warranty. The customer can opt to purchase the service contract at the time of the system sale or after the initial system sale.

The Company recognizes revenue from service contracts ratably over the service period. Revenue recognition for the sale of a service contract is largely dependent on the timing of the sale as follows:

Service Contract Sale in Conjunction with System Sale: If the customer opts to purchase a service contract at the time of the system sale, the Company allocates the transaction price of the distinct performance obligations in the contract by determining stand-alone selling price using historical pricing net of any variable consideration or discounts to specifically allocate to a particular performance obligation.

Service Contract Sale Subsequent to System Sale: If the customer opts to purchase a service contract after the initial system sale, the Company determines the amount of time that has elapsed since the initial system sale. If the service contract is purchased within 60 days of the initial sale, the Company considers this sale to be an additional element of the original sale and allocates the transaction price of the distinct performance obligations in the contract by determining stand-alone selling price using historical pricing net of any variable consideration or discounts to specifically allocate to a particular performance obligation. If the service contract is purchased subsequent to 60 days after the initial sale, the sale of the service contract is deemed a separate contract and is deferred at the selling price and recognized ratably over the extended warranty period as the performance obligation is satisfied.

(3)

System Repairs (outside of warranty): Customers will occasionally request repairs from the Company subsequent to the expiration of the standard warranty and outside of a service contract.

The Company recognizes revenue from system repairs (outside of warranty) at a point in time. When the customer requests repairs from the Company subsequent to the expiration of the standard warranty and outside of a service contract, these repair contracts are considered separate from the initial sale, and as such, revenue is recognized as the repair services are rendered and the performance obligation satisfied.

(4)

Royalty Revenue: The Company has royalty agreements with four customers related to sale of the Company’s intellectual property. Under the terms of these agreements, the customer is to remit a percentage of its sales to the Company.

Since these arrangements are for sales-based licenses of intellectual property, for which the guidance in paragraph ASC 606-10-55-65 applies, the Company recognizes revenue only as the subsequent sale occurs. However, the Company notes that such sales being reported by the licensee with a quarter in arrear, such revenue is recognized at the time it is reported and paid by the licensee given that any estimated variable consideration would have to be fully constrained due to the unpredictability of such estimate and the unavoidable risk that it may lead to significant revenue reversals.

(5)

Exclusive Distribution Rights: On March 2, 2021, the Company and Topcon Corporation (“Topcon”) entered into a distribution agreement ("Distribution Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company granted Topcon the exclusive right to distribute the Company’s retina and glaucoma products in certain geographies outside the United States. The exclusivity arrangement with Topcon obligates the Company to provide training, customer support, and exclusive territorial rights to Topcon for certain international regions, for a period of 10 years, commencing upon regulatory approval to transfer existing (non-exclusive) distribution rights from the current distributors in those regions to Topcon. The Company has the right to terminate the exclusive distribution rights granted to Topcon for any of the regions at any point in time during the 10-year exclusivity term for a termination fee that is based on a multiple of 1.2 times the revenue generated by the Company in 2019 for the respective region. Management has determined that the exclusivity rights, training, and customer support represents a single combined performance obligation for each region, to be recognized as exclusivity fee revenue on a straight-line basis over the 10-year period for each region, commencing on the date that regulatory approval is obtained for each region, based on the Standalone Selling Price (“SSP”) for such combined performance obligation for each region. The estimated fair value of the exclusive distribution rights for all regions combined totaled approximately $14.8 million. Of this amount, management has fully-constrained and returned to Topcon the arrangement fee allocated to Belarus (approximately $0.2 million) because obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and termination of existing distributor relationships was not feasible. For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, $0.4 million and $1.0 million in revenue related to the exclusive distribution rights was recorded, respectively.

Costs of Obtaining Revenue Contracts.

The Company recognized assets from certain costs incurred to obtain revenue contracts. These costs relate to sales commissions arising from the sale of its products. The costs are considered incremental and recoverable of obtaining revenue contracts with customers. These deferred costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, which typically ranges from 2 to 3 years. As of October 1, 2022, recognized deferred costs incurred to obtain revenue contracts with customers, net of accumulated amortization, amounted to $0.2 million, included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets

in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization was $19 thousand for both the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022. There were no impairment expenses for both the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, respectively.

Sales commissions that do not represent incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred. As a practical expedient, the Company will not recognize such sales commission as a contract asset but rather recognize as expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company would have otherwise recognized is one year or less.

Contract Fulfillment Costs.

The Company recognized an asset from the costs incurred to fulfill a contract. These costs relate directly and must be incurred to satisfy performance obligations on certain specific contract with a customer. These costs are expected to be recovered over time and are amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the recognition of revenue to which it relates. As of October 1, 2022, recognized deferred costs incurred to fulfill a contract with a customer, net of accumulated amortization, amounted to $0.8 million, included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amortization was $20 thousand and $42 thousand for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, respectively. There were no impairment expenses for both the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022, respectively.

Leases.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, net and Operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company was not a party to finance lease arrangements.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We use the implicit rate when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Under the available practical expedient, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Concentration of Credit Risk.

Our cash and cash equivalents are deposited in demand and money market accounts. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk.

We market our products to distributors and end-users throughout the world. Sales to international distributors are generally made on open credit terms and letters of credit. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintains an allowance for potential credit losses. Historically, we have not experienced any significant losses related to individual customers or a group of customers in any particular geographic area. For the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022 one customer, Topcon, accounted for more than 10% of total revenues, representing 31% and 29%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended October 2, 2021, one customer, Topcon, accounted for more than 10% of total revenues, representing 21% and 15%, respectively. As of October 1, 2022, one customer, Topcon, accounted for over 10% of our accounts receivable, representing 37%. As of January 1, 2022, two customers, including Topcon, accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable, representing 31% and 11%, respectively.

Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities.

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are recognized on a net basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Shipping and Handling Costs.

Our shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues and the associated expense is recorded in cost of revenues for all periods presented.

Deferred Revenue.

Deferred revenue represents contract liabilities and exclusivity fees. Revenue related to service contracts is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the applicable service contract. Costs associated with these service arrangements are recognized as incurred. Revenue related to exclusivity fees is deferred and recognized over the related exclusivity period.

A reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s deferred revenue balance for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended
	October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021
Balance, beginning of period	$	13,285		$	1,227
Additions to deferral		3,656			12,884
Revenue recognized		(2,338	)		(1,662	)
Balance, end of period		14,603			12,449
Non-current portion of deferred revenue		12,172			10,199
Current portion of deferred revenue	$	2,431		$	2,250

During the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021, approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million were recognized pertaining to amounts deferred as of January 1, 2022 and January 2, 2021, respectively. As of October 1, 2022, approximately $11.5 million of the non-current portion of deferred revenue and $1.5 million of the current portion of deferred revenue pertain to exclusivity distribution rights deferred revenue.

Warranty.

The Company currently provides a two-year full warranty on its products. The associated costs of these warranties are accrued for upon shipment of the products. The Company’s warranty policy is applicable to products which are considered defective in their performance or fail to meet the product specifications. Warranty costs are reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as cost of revenues.

A reconciliation of the changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the nine months ended October 1, 2022 and October 2, 2021 is as follows:


	Nine Months Ended
	October 1, 2022			October 2, 2021
Balance, beginning of period	$	158		$	247
Accruals for product warranties		91			70
Cost of warranty claims		(154	)		(106	)
Adjustment to pre-existing warranties		138			(52	)
Balance, end of period	$	233		$	159

Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Service Arrangement.

The Company is currently implementing a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The new ERP system operates in a cloud-based environment. The Company concluded that this cloud computing arrangement does not include a license, and therefore, will account for this arrangement as one that is a service contract. As of October 1, 2022, the Company capitalized $0.5 million in implementation costs, included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other long-term assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company will amortize the capitalized implementation costs over 5 years on a straight-line basis once the ERP system is ready for use. There were no amortization expenses for both the three and nine months ended October 1, 2022.

Reclassifications.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements included in these condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities and net loss or accumulated deficit.
