Fair Value Measurements

Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial instruments and other items at fair value.

To determine the fair value, the Company uses the fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use to value an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs based on assumptions about the factors market participants would use to value an asset or liability.

To measure fair value, the Company uses the following fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable:

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

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

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. Value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques and also includes instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company evaluates its financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level of classification for each reporting period.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s cash equivalents consisted of money market funds. The Company values its cash equivalents using observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for securities with identical characteristics and classify the valuation techniques that use these inputs as Level 1.

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value measurements of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis were as follows:

	Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized a change in the fair value of contingent consideration of approximately $42,000 on its condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. In October 2020, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated December 31, 2018 related to the acquisition of the Aether business, in which the Company agreed to pay a lump sum of $0.1 million in full consideration for the Company’s obligation to make payments of contingent consideration under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. As such, there were no outstanding amounts related to contingent consideration on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

The carrying amounts of the secured long-term note payable, lease liabilities and equipment financing approximate fair value as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 because those financial instruments bear interest at rates that approximate current market rates for similar agreements with similar maturities and credit.
