Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC on July 26, 2021, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 
Emerging Growth Company

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in money market funds. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company withdrew $39,410 and $505,408 of the interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for its franchise taxes and for working capital needs, respectively.

Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the assets held in the Trust Account were substantially held in U.S. Treasury Bills. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company withdrew $419,894 of the interest earned on the Trust Account to pay for its franchise taxes and for working capital needs.

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption (Restated, see Note 2 — Amendment 2)

Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that is either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, common stock subject to possible redemption is presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital and accumulated deficit. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

At September 30, 2021, the Common Stock reflected in the balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Warrant Liability

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for the Private Warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40 under which the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Private Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Private Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations. The Private Warrants are valued using a binomial lattice model. Public Warrants are treated as equity and therefore require no fair value adjustment.

The Private Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a binomial lattice model.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company’s current taxable income primarily consists of interest earned on the Trust Account. The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the change in fair value of warrant liabilities which are not currently deductible. As of September 30, 2021, all deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses were fully offset by a valuation allowance.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to COVID-19 pandemic. Under ASC 740, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period which the new legislation is enacted. The CARES Act made various tax law changes including among other things (i) increasing the limitation under Section 163(j) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”) for 2019 and 2020 to permit additional expensing of interest (ii) enacting a technical correction so that qualified improvement property can be immediately expensed under IRC Section 168(k), (iii) making modifications to the federal net operating loss rules including permitting federal net operating losses incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to the five preceding taxable years in order to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes and (iv) enhancing the recoverability of alternative minimum tax credits.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net Loss Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of common stock is excluded from net income (loss) per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted income (loss) per common share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase 10,451,087 shares of common stock in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for the periods presented (Restated- see Note 2).

Net Loss Per Common Share

(Restated, see Note 2 — Amendment 1)

Net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding shares of common stock subject to forfeiture. The Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and private placement to purchase an aggregate of 10,451,087 shares in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income (loss) per share. Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted, for Common stock subject to possible redemption is calculated by dividing the proportionate share of income or loss on marketable securities held by the Trust Account, net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Common stock subject to possible redemption outstanding since original issuance.

Net income (loss) per share, basic and diluted, for non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), adjusted for income or loss on marketable securities attributable to Common stock subject to possible redemption, by the weighted average number of non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the period.

Non-redeemable common stock includes Founder Shares and non-redeemable shares of common stock as these shares do not have any redemption features. Non-redeemable common stock participates in the income or loss on marketable securities based on non-redeemable shares’ proportionate interest.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amount represented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the Private Warrants (see Note 10).

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recent Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06 — “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”)”, to simplify accounting for certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective January 1, 2022 and should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted beginning on January 1, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, that ASU 2020-06 would have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Offering Costs  

Offering Costs

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the Initial Public Offering that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities were expensed as incurred in the statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the common stock issued were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Common stock issuance costs amounting to $3,392,993 were charged to stockholders’ equity and offering costs amounting to $19,946 were charged to the statement of operations upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering (see Note 1).

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets, and the fair value of stock underlying equity issuances. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Income Taxes  

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable to

taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded against the Company’s deferred income tax assets if based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company periodically reviews its operations and significant income tax positions for uncertainties and areas of judgment in the application of complex income tax regulations in several tax jurisdictions and provides a liability for potential income taxes, where applicable. The Company includes any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for taxes.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are deposited with major financial institutions primarily in the U.S. and Canada. At times, deposits in financial institutions located in the U.S. may be in excess of the amount of insurance provided on such deposits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents of $1,027 and $581, held in foreign institutions, are not FDIC insured. To date, the Company has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits.

Accounts receivable are unsecured and the Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. The Company evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and provides an allowance for potential credit losses as necessary.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On December 18, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740), which is intended to simplify various aspects of accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The amendments in ASU 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 adopted ASU 2019-12 on January 1, 2021. The effect of the adoption of ASU 2019-12 was not material.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments by removing the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature or convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. Additionally, the ASU amends the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The treasury stock method is no longer available. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of the standard can either be on a modified retrospective or full retrospective basis.

The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 using the full retrospective method. Accordingly, the Company has presented the consolidated financial statements as if this guidance had been effective during all periods presented. However, the adoption of the new guidance did impact the Company’s interest expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in a decrease of $4,273. The cumulative effect of the adoption of the new guidance on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was a decrease in additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $11,144.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles for recording income taxes, while also simplifying certain recognition and allocation approaches to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for the first interim period within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, on a prospective basis or modified retrospective basis. For certain provisions, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Accounts Receivable, Net and Payment Terms  

Accounts Receivable, Net and Payment Terms

The Company records accounts receivable at the time of invoicing the customer. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type and the service being provided. Fees are usually non-refundable. Subscription-based services are typically invoiced monthly in advance and impression-based services are typically invoiced monthly in arrears. Customer payment terms vary by arrangement although payments are typically due within 30 days of invoicing. The timing between the satisfaction of the performance obligations and the payment is not significant and the Company currently does not have any significant financing components or significant payment terms.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts  

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable. The allowance reflects the Company’s best estimate of probable losses associated with the accounts receivable balance. It is based upon historical experience and loss patterns, the number of days that billings are past due, an evaluation of the potential risk of loss associated with delinquent accounts, and known delinquent accounts. When new information becomes available that allows the Company to estimate the allowance more accurately, it makes an adjustment, which is considered a change in accounting estimate. The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates their fair value due to its short-term nature.

Costs to Obtain Contracts with Customers  

Costs to Obtain Contracts with Customers

Certain sales incentive compensation costs are incremental costs to obtain the related customer contract. For contract costs with amortization periods of more than 12 months, these costs are capitalized in the period in which they are incurred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected customer life of the associated contract. For contract costs with amortization periods of less than 12 months, the Company applies a practical expedient to expense such costs as incurred.

Property and Equipment  

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consists of furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements.

Leases  

Leases

The Company categorizes leases with contractual terms longer than twelve months as either operating or finance. Finance leases are generally those leases that substantially utilize or pay for the entire asset over its estimated life. All other leases are categorized as operating leases. Costs associated with operating lease assets are recognized on a straight-line basis within operating expenses over the term of the lease.

Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives using an estimated discount rate based on similarly secured borrowings available to us. Lease assets are recognized based on the initial present value of the fixed lease payments, reduced by landlord incentives, plus any direct costs from executing the leases or lease prepayments.

The Company does not recognize its renewal options as part of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities until it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such renewal options.

The Company does not combine lease and non-lease components; its lease agreements provide specific allocations of the Company’s obligations between lease and non-lease components. As a result, the Company is not required to exercise any judgment in determining such allocations.

Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  

Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Any impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying cost or the fair value less the cost to sell.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers  

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company generates revenue by providing customers with online software and advertising services, primarily through subscription agreements. Leafly also provides advertising on a per-impression delivered basis.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers for all open contracts and related amendments using the full retrospective method, which required the Company to adjust each prior reporting period presented. There was no cumulative impact to retained earnings for the adoption of ASC 606.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, the core principle of which is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, five basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized:

•        Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

•        Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

•        Determination of the transaction price;

•        Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

•        Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

Leafly provides to its clients a platform to engage with and advertise to interested consumers. This subscription-based platform is delivered by way of a hosted, web-based application or Software as a Service (SaaS) delivery model. Customers of Leafly never take possession of any software as it is hosted in the cloud.

All the Company’s revenue and trade receivables are generated from contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the Company’s customers at an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.

Performance Obligations — A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account under Topic 606. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and is recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies and tracks the performance obligations at contract inception so that the Company can monitor and account for the performance obligations over the life of the contract. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the amount of revenue it recognizes is equal to the amount which the Company has a right to invoice.

The Company’s Retail contracts typically contain a single performance obligation consisting of the hosted software in a multi-tenant environment where support and maintenance are included for customers. Retail contracts with multiple performance obligations contain additional services offerings, either in the form of subscription or one-time service. Additional Retail service offerings change over time but currently include additional mapping, mobile, homepage, and video features, as well as sponsorships, premium placement, pick-up lead generation, insights, and customer communications, including emails and mobile push notifications. Brands customers can purchase any number and combination of services; none of the Brands services require the purchase of another Brands service.

For contracts with multiple performance obligations where the contracted price differs from the standalone selling price (SSP) for any distinct good or service, the Company may be required to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using its best estimate for the SSP. The portion of our revenue for which SSP requires estimation has been immaterial.

A majority of the customer contracts have performance obligations that the Company satisfies over time, and revenue is recognized by consistently applying a method of measuring progress toward satisfaction of that performance obligation. Some contracts contain a performance obligation that the Company satisfies at a point in time upon delivery of the specified services. Revenues recognized over time are associated with software subscriptions and display ads. Revenues recognized at a point in time are associated with one-time content pushes to the customers.

More judgments and estimates are required under Topic 606 than were required under Topic 605. Due to the complexity of certain contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under Topic 606 for the Company’s arrangements may be dependent on contract-specific terms and may vary in some instances.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions — There are several practical expedients and exemptions allowed under Topic 606 that impact the timing of revenue recognition and the Company’s disclosures. Below is a list of practical expedients the Company applied in the adoption and application of Topic 606:

Application Practical Expedients:

•        The Company does not evaluate a contract for a significant financing component if payment is expected within one year or less from the transfer of the promised items to the customer.

•        The Company generally expenses sales commissions when incurred when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Full Retrospective Transition Practical Expedients:

•        The Company was not required to restate revenue from contracts that began and were completed within the same annual reporting period. The Company did not apply this practical expedient if a contract extended between two annual reporting periods.

•        For contract modifications, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications that occurred prior to the adoption date when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations for the modified contracts at transition.

Contract Balances — The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company mainly provides subscription services and bills its customers upfront for any services to be performed. As such, the Company did not have any contracts assets as of, or during the year ended, December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue) — The Company records Deferred Revenue when the Company has received or has the right to receive consideration but has not yet transferred goods or services to the customer. The Company typically invoices its customers for online software on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, with payment due 30 days from the date of the invoice. Unpaid invoice amounts for non-cancelable services starting in future periods are included in accounts receivable and deferred revenue.

Cost of Revenue  

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue consists primarily of credit card processing fees, third-party professional services, website infrastructure and hosting costs, and salaries and employee benefits for the engineering teams responsible for operating the Company’s online software platform.

Advertising  

Advertising

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in sales and marketing expenses. Advertising expenses incurred by the Company were $194 and $793 and during 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation  

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense represents the cost of the grant date fair value of stock option grants, estimated in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The vesting period generally approximates the expected service period of the awards. When awards include a performance condition that impacts the vesting or exercisability of the award, the Company records compensation cost when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met and the service is provided. Forfeitures are recognized and accounted for as they occur.

The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant. This method requires certain assumptions be used as inputs, such as the fair value of the underlying common stock, expected term of the option before exercise, expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, expected dividend yield, and a risk-free interest rate. Options granted have a maximum contractual term of 10 years. The Company has limited historical stock option activity and therefore estimates the expected term of stock options granted using the simplified method, which represents the average of the contractual term of the stock option and its weighted-average vesting period. The expected volatility of stock options is based upon the historical volatility of a number of publicly traded companies in similar stages of development. The Company has historically not declared or paid any dividends and does not currently expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The risk-free interest rates used are based on the U.S. Department of Treasury (U.S. Treasury) yield in effect at the time of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the expected term of the stock options.

Common Stock Valuation  

Common Stock Valuation

Due to the absence of an active market for the Company’s common stock, the Company utilized methodologies in accordance with the framework of Standards 9 and 10 of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, the Statement on Standards for Valuation Services as set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”), ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and the AICPA Accounting and Valuation Guide for the Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, to estimate the fair value of its common stock. The fair value of the common stock has been determined based upon a variety of factors, including the illiquid nature of the common stock, sales of the Company’s preferred stock, the effect of the rights and preferences of the preferred stockholders, and the prospects of a liquidity event. Among other factors are the Company’s unaudited and audited historical financial position and performance and the current business climate in the marketplace. Significant changes to the key assumptions underlying the factors used could result in different fair values of common stock at each valuation date.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards  

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued ASC Topic 842, Leases. This standard requires all entities that lease assets with terms of more than 12 months to capitalize the assets and related liabilities on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2021 but was early adopted as of January 1, 2020.

The Company adopted and began applying ASC 842 on January 1, 2020 in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to ASC 842, using a modified retrospective approach. Based on its lease portfolio in place at the time of adoption, the Company determined that a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit was not needed because there was no difference between the operating lease expense recorded to its condensed consolidated statement of operations following its adoption of ASC 842 and the amount that would have been recorded under ASC 840. The Company will continue to disclose comparative reporting periods prior to January 1, 2020 under ASC 840.

The Company elected to take most of the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within ASC 842, which allows an entity to not reassess 1) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases, 2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and 3) the treatment of initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease terms for existing leases.

The Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all of its leases that met the definition of a lease under ASC 842 and that are greater than twelve months in duration upon its adoption of ASC 842. The most significant changes as a result of adopting ASC 842 were the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of approximately $6,700 and operating lease liabilities of approximately $6,400 on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon adoption on January 1, 2020. These balances are comprised of the Company’s office lease portfolio. The Company de-recognized deferred rent liabilities associated with its office lease portfolio of $143 upon adoption.

Revenue Recognition — In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which superseded the revenue recognition requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 was updated with ASU 2015-14 to defer the effective date. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application permitted with the annual reporting period. The Company adopted this new accounting standard and the related amendments on January 1, 2019, using the full retrospective method.

Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, and ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provide clarification and additional guidance related to ASU 2014-09. We also adopted ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12, and ASU 2016-20 with ASU 2014-09 (collectively, the new revenue standard) on January 1, 2019.

The new revenue standard is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019, and permits the use of either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, using the full retrospective method. The adoption of the new revenue standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated revenues, financial position, or results of operations.

Restricted Cash — In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash, which requires restricted cash and cash equivalents be included a component of total cash and cash equivalents presented on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2019 using the retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Disclosure — In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modified the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, and adding certain disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Cloud Computing Arrangements Accounting — In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to defer and which to recognize as assets. ASU 2018-15 generally aligns the guidance on recognizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with that for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, including hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. The Company adopted ASU 2018-15 prospectively and began applying it on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Debt with Conversion and Other Options — The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021 using the full retrospective method. Accordingly, the Company has presented the consolidated financial statements as if this guidance had been effective during all periods presented. However, the adoption of the new guidance did impact the Company’s interest expense recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020, resulting in a decrease of $11,144. The cumulative effect of the adoption of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2020 was a decrease in additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit of $11,144.
