The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The complexity of the estimation process and issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent in the application of the revenue recognition guidance for contracts in which control is transferred to the customer over time affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, contract assets and contract liabilities. Numerous internal and external factors can affect estimates. Estimates are also used for but not limited to: allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives of furniture, fixtures and equipment and definite lived intangible assets, depreciation expense, fair value assumptions in evaluating goodwill for impairment, income taxes and deferred tax asset valuation, and the valuation of stock-based compensation.

Restricted cash consists of cash and cash equivalents which the Company has committed for rent deposits and are not available for general corporate purposes.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, other current liabilities, and accrued interest approximated their fair values at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 due to the short-term nature of these accounts.

Fair value measurements were applied with respect to our nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which would primarily consist of measurements to contingent consideration in a business combination.

Fair value is the price that would be received upon a sale of an asset or paid upon a transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Market participants can use market data or assumptions in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable. The use of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for fair value determinations in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Under the fair-value hierarchy:

The following tables summarize the assets and liabilities (as applicable) measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates indicated:

⁽¹⁾Contingent consideration is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” as of December 31, 2021.

The contingent consideration associated with the 2020 acquisition of Neuralify was fully paid in July 2022.

The following table represents the change in the contingent consideration liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

⁽¹⁾Neuralify earnout adjustment relates to a change in the achievement of a certain milestone specific to the acquisition.

The Company’s financial instruments include outstanding borrowings of $71.3 million at September 30, 2022 and $74.5 million at December 31, 2021, which are carried at amortized cost. The fair value of debt is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company's outstanding borrowings is approximately $69.1 million and $73.6 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair values of debt have been estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's incremental borrowing rate for similar borrowing arrangements. The incremental borrowing rate used to discount future cash flows is 5.3% and 2.0% at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company also considered recent transactions of peer group companies for similar instruments with comparable terms and maturities as well as an analysis of current market conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes accounts receivable, and available-for-sale debt securities. The new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses and additional disclosures. As a smaller reporting company, this guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
