     Common Stock Warrants
 
During its evaluation of equity classification for the Company's common stock warrants issued in
2019
and
2018,
the Company considered the conditions as prescribed within ASC
815
-
40,
Derivatives and Hedging, Contracts in an Entity’s own Equity
(“ASC
815
-
40”
). The conditions within ASC
815
-
40
are
not
subject to a probability assessment. The warrants do
not
fall under the liability criteria within ASC
480
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
as they are
not
puttable and do
not
represent an instrument that has a redeemable underlying security. The warrants do meet the definition of a derivative instrument under ASC
815,
but are eligible for the scope exception as they are indexed to the Company’s own stock and would be classified in permanent equity if freestanding.
