Other than policies noted below, there have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the annual audited financial statements included in the information statement included in Exhibit 99.9 to the Registration Statement.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes to the condensed financial statements. The accounting estimates that require management’s most significant, difficult and subjective judgments include, but are not limited to, cost allocations from PDL, revenue recognition and allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of notes receivable and inventory, the assessment of recoverability of intangible assets and their estimated useful lives, the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation, operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities, and the recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis as there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, including revenue, expenses, reserves and allowances, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat it, as well as the economic impact on domestic and international customers and markets. The Company has made estimates of the impact of COVID-19 within its condensed financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods.

As of the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of any assets or liabilities.

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are estimates of the amounts that would be received if the Company were to sell an asset or the Company paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date or exit price. The assets and liabilities are categorized and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•

Level 1—based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•

Level 2—based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3—based on unobservable inputs using management’s best estimate and assumptions when inputs are unavailable.

Fair value measurements are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities approximate the fair value based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s notes receivable also approximates the fair value based on the associated credit risk.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The new guidance amends the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption resulted in a $34 adjustment to the Company’s accumulated deficit opening balance within the condensed balance sheets. As a consequence of adopting ASU 2016-13, the Company’s accounts and notes receivable accounting policy has been updated.

The Company makes estimates of the collectability of accounts receivable. In doing so, the Company analyzes historical bad debt trends, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends, changes in customer payment patterns, and possible impact of current conditions and reasonable forecasts not already reflected in historical loss information when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. Amounts are charged off against the allowance for credit losses when the Company determines that recovery is unlikely, and the Company ceases collection efforts.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software. The new guidance reduces complexity for the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 using the prospective transition option. The adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed financial statements.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a staff question-and-answer document, “Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” (the “COVID-19 Q&A”), to address certain frequently-asked questions pertaining to lease concessions arising from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing lease guidance requires entities to determine if a lease concession was a result of a new arrangement reached with the lessee (which would be addressed under the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (which would not fall under the lease modification framework). The COVID-19 Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief granted in light of the effects of COVID-19 is a lease or obligations of the lease. This election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same or less than the total payments required by the original contract.

The Company elected to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in accordance with the COVID-19 Q&A. LENSAR entered into agreements with 23 customers through which LENSAR agreed to waive monthly rental fees ranging from one to three months. A total of zero and $335 in lease revenue was not recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, related to the waived lease payments. There were no concessions provided for any non-lease components of the lease arrangements. In return for these concessions the related contracts were extended by the same number of months waived. No amounts of accounts receivable or notes receivable were deemed uncollectible due to COVID-19 as of September 30, 2020; however, the Company considered the effects of COVID-19 in estimating its credit losses for the period.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The amendments in ASU No. 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.
