Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of the Business

Teligent, Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1977. On October 22, 2015, the Company announced the change of its name from IGI Laboratories, Inc. to Teligent, Inc. effective as of October 23, 2015. The Company’s office, research and development facilities and manufacturing facilities are located at 105 Lincoln Avenue, Buena, New Jersey. The Company is a specialty generic pharmaceutical company. Under our own label, the Company currently markets and sells generic topical and branded generic and generic injectable pharmaceutical products in the United States and Canada. In the US, we are currently marketing 16 generic topical pharmaceutical products and four branded generic pharmaceutical products. Through the completion of an acquisition, we now sell a total of 30 generic and branded generic injectable products and medical devices in Canada. Generic pharmaceutical products are bioequivalent to their brand name counterparts. We also provide development, formulation, and manufacturing services to the pharmaceutical, over-the-counter, or OTC, and cosmetic markets. The Company also provides development, formulation and manufacturing services to the pharmaceutical, over-the-counter (“OTC”) and cosmetic markets. We operate our business under one segment.

As of the date of this report, the Company has 34 Abbreviated New Drug Applications, or ANDAs, on file with the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for additional pharmaceutical products.

On October 14, 2015, the Company provided written notice to the NYSE MKT LLC (the “NYSE MKT”) that the Company intended to transfer the listing of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE MKT to the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and withdraw the listing and registration of the common stock from the NYSE MKT. The Company’s common stock ceased trading on the NYSE MKT at the close of business on October 23, 2015, and began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on October 26, 2015.

As discussed in Note 7, on November 13, 2015, the Company acquired all of the rights, title and interest in the development, production, marketing, import and distribution of all pharmaceutical products of Alveda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Alveda”) pursuant to two asset purchase agreements, one relating to the acquisition of all of the intellectual property-related assets of Alveda (the “IP-Related APA”) and the other relating to the acquisition of all other assets of Alveda (the “Non-IP Related APA,” and, together with the IP-Related APA, the “APAs”).

Teligent also develops, manufactures, fills, and packages topical semi-solid and liquid products for branded and generic pharmaceutical customers, as well as the OTC and cosmetic markets. These products are used in a wide range of applications from cosmetics and cosmeceuticals to the prescription treatment of conditions like dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema. Teligent has also started selling injectable products as of the fourth quarter of 2015, consistent with the Company's TICO strategy. Teligent has continued to make progress on its facility expansion in Buena, New Jersey, to support the increased capacity demand expected from future product approvals from the FDA. As the Company continues to execute its TICO strategy, it will compete in other markets, including the ophthalmic generic pharmaceutical market, and expects to face other competitors.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Teligent, Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidated the following entities: Igen, Inc., Teligent Pharma. Inc., Teligent Luxembourg S.à.r.l., Teligent OÜ, Teligent Canada Inc., and Teligent Jersey Limited., in addition to the following inactive entities: Microburst Energy, Inc., Blood Cells, Inc. and Flavorsome, Ltd.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of short-term investments, which have original maturities of 90 days or less. These include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including bills, notes and bonds, as well as obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government including government-sponsored enterprises, or GSEs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, restricted cash, notes payable, accounts payable, capital leases and other accrued liabilities at December 31, 2016 approximate their fair value for all periods presented.

The Company measures fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The Company measures its derivative liability at fair value. The derivative convertible option related to the Notes issued December 16, 2014 was valued using the “with” and “without” analysis. A “with” and “without” analysis is a standard valuation technique for valuing embedded derivatives by first considering the value of the Notes with the option and then considering the value of the Notes without the option. The difference is the fair value of the embedded derivatives. The convertible note derivative is classified within Level 3 because it is valued using the “with” and “without” method, which does utilize inputs that are unobservable in the market.

On May 20, 2015, the Company received approval to increase its authorized shares sufficient to allow for the conversion of the entire note into equity at the annual shareholders meeting. Therefore, the derivative liability of $18.3 million was reclassified into stockholders equity. As of December 31, 2016, the net carrying value of the Notes was approximately $111.4 million compared to their face value of $143.75 million. However, this variance is due to the conversion feature in the Notes rather than to changes in market interest rates. The Notes carry a fixed interest rate and therefore do not subject the Company to interest rate risk. The Company recorded a change in the fair value of the derivative liability through May 20, 2015 of $23.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. On May 20, 2015, the Company recorded the final change in fair value and subsequently reclassified the value of the derivative liability into stockholders equity due to the approval of sufficient shares.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company extends credit to its contract services customers based upon credit evaluations in the normal course of business, primarily with 30-day terms. The Company does not require collateral from its customers. Bad debt provisions are provided for on the allowance method based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts regularly, and past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. The Company charges off uncollectible receivables against the allowance when the likelihood of collection is remote.

The Company extends credit to wholesaler and distributor customers and national retail chain customers, based upon credit evaluations, in the normal course of business, primarily with 60-day terms. The Company maintains customer-related accruals and allowances that consist primarily of chargebacks, rebates, sales returns, shelf stock allowances, administrative fees and other incentive programs. Some of these adjustments relate specifically to the generic prescription pharmaceutical business. Typically, the aggregate gross-to-net adjustments related to these customers can exceed 50% of the gross sales through this distribution channel. Certain of these accruals and allowances are recorded in the balance sheet as current liabilities and others are recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash equivalents and trade receivables. These include direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury, including bills, notes and bonds, as well as obligations issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government including GSEs, which are not federally insured.

The Company maintains its cash in accounts with quality financial institutions. Although the Company currently believes that the financial institutions with which the Company does business will be able to fulfill their commitments to us, there is no assurance that those institutions will be able to continue to do so.

In 2016, the Company had sales to three customers which individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. These customers had sales of $13.5 million, $8.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively, and represented 43% of total revenues in the aggregate. Accounts receivable related to the Company’s major customers comprised 81% of all accounts receivable as of December 31, 2016.

In 2015, the Company had sales to three customers which individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. These customers had sales of $12.3 million, $5.8 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and represented 52% of total revenues in the aggregate. Accounts receivable related to the Company’s major customers comprised 83% of all accounts receivable as of December 31, 2015.

In 2014, the Company had sales to two customers which individually accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue. These customers had sales of $10.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and represented 44% of total revenues in the aggregate. Accounts receivable related to the Company’s major customers comprised 42% of all accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014.

The Company had net revenue from one product, econazole nitrate cream, which accounted for 8%, 45% and 38% of total revenues in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company had net revenue in 2016 from lidocaine ointment, which accounted for 23% of total revenues, which we launched at the end of the first quarter of 2016.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or market. The Company records an inventory reserve for losses associated with dated and expired raw materials. This reserve is based on management’s current knowledge with respect to inventory levels, planned production, and extension capabilities of materials on hand. Management does not believe the Company’s inventory is subject to significant risk of obsolescence in the near term. Reserve for obsolescence included in inventory at December 31, 2016 and 2015 were $0.3 million and $0.1 million respectively.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment is provided for under the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:



		Useful Lives

Buildings and improvements		10 - 30 years
Machinery and equipment		3 - 15 years

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations as incurred while major improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed, the related cost and accumulated depreciation thereon are removed and any gains or losses are included in operating results.

Intangible Assets

Definite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization of definite-lived intangible assets is computed on a straight-line basis over the assets’ estimated useful lives, generally for periods ranging from 10 to 15 years. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but instead are tested at least annually for impairment. Costs to renew or extend the term of a recognized intangible asset are expensed as incurred.

In-Process Research and Development

Amounts allocated to in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) in connection with a business combination are recorded at fair value and are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets subject to the impairment testing in accordance with the Company’s impairment testing policy for indefinite-lived intangible assets. As products in development are approved for sale, amounts will be allocated to product rights and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives. These valuations reflect, among other things, the impact of changes to the development programs, the projected development and regulatory time frames and the current competitive environment. Changes in any of the Company’s assumptions may result in a reduction to the estimated fair value of the IPR&D asset and could result in future impairment charges.

Goodwill

Goodwill, which represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, is carried at cost. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine if the quantitative impairment test is required. If changes in circumstances indicate an asset may be impaired, the Company performs the quantitative impairment test. In accordance with accounting standards, a two-step quantitative method is used for determining goodwill impairment. In the first step, the Company determines the fair value. If the net book value exceeds its fair value, the second step of the impairment test which requires allocation of the fair value to all of its assets and liabilities using the acquisition method prescribed under authoritative guidance for business combinations would then be performed. Any residual fair value is allocated to goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized only if the implied fair value of our reporting unit’s goodwill is less than its carrying amount.

The carrying value of goodwill at December 31, 2016 was $0.4 million. We believe it is unlikely that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to test for impairment losses on goodwill. However, if actual results were not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we could be exposed to an impairment charge.

Acquisitions

The Company accounts for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires with limited exceptions, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When net assets that do not constitute a business are acquired, no goodwill is recognized.

Contingent consideration, if any, is included as part of the acquisition cost and is recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Any liability resulting from contingent consideration is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingency is resolved. These changes in fair value are recognized in earnings.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 360-10-55, the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In performing such review for recoverability, the Company compares expected future cash flows of assets to the carrying value of the long-lived assets and related identifiable intangibles. If the expected future cash flows (undiscounted) are less than the carrying amount of such assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying value of the assets and their estimated fair value, with fair values being determined using projected discounted cash flows at the lowest level of cash flows identifiable in relation to the assets being reviewed. As of December 31, 2016, no impairments existed.

Foreign Currency Translation

The net assets of international subsidiaries where the local currencies have been determined to be the functional currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. The U.S. dollar effects that arise from translating the net assets of these subsidiaries at changing rates are recorded in the foreign currency translation account, which is included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) and reflected as a separate component of equity. For those subsidiaries where the U.S. dollar has been determined to be the functional currency, non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated using historical rates, while monetary assets and liabilities are translated at current rates, with the U.S. dollar effects of rate changes included in Other (income) expense, net.

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses represent various obligations of the Company including certain operating expenses and taxes payable.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and 2015, the largest components of accrued expenses were:



	2016		2015
	(in thousands)
Wholesaler fees	$	3,505	$	2,523
Capital expenditures	2,475		482
Payroll	1,706		1,167
Royalties	843		744
Consulting fees	608		432
Interest expense	240		240
Other	972		679
	$	10,349	$	6,267

License Fee

License fee is amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement (10 years).

Accounting for Environmental Costs

Accruals for environmental remediation are recorded when it is probable a liability has been incurred and costs are reasonably estimable. The estimated liabilities are recorded at undiscounted amounts. Environmental insurance recoveries are included in the statement of operations in the year in which the issue is resolved through settlement or other appropriate legal process.

Income Taxes

The Company records income taxes in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded based on a determination of the ultimate realizability of future deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance equal to 100% of the net deferred tax assets has been recognized due to uncertainty regarding the future realization of these assets.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 740-10-25 that clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and 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. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption. As such, there are no unrecognized tax benefits included in the balance sheet that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate.

Revenue Recognition

The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when it has persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or contractual services rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured in conformity with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition.

The Company derives its revenues from three basic types of transactions: sales of its own generic pharmaceutical topical products, sales of manufactured product for its customers included in product sales, and research and product development services and other services performed for third parties. Due to differences in the substance of these transaction types, the transactions require, and the Company utilizes, different revenue recognition policies for each.

Product Sales: Product Sales, net, include Company Product Sales and Contract Manufacturing Sales.

Company Product Sales: The Company records revenue from Company product sales when title and risk of ownership have been transferred to the customer, which is typically upon delivery of products to the customer.

Revenue and Provision for Sales Returns and Allowances

As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, the Company’s gross product sales from Company label products are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at reported net product sales. When the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products, an estimate of sales returns and allowances (“SRA”) is recorded, which reduces product sales. Accounts receivable and/or accrued expenses are also reduced and/or increased by the SRA amount. These adjustments include estimates for chargebacks, rebates, cash discounts and returns and other allowances. These provisions are estimates based on historical payment experience, historical relationship to revenues, estimated customer inventory levels and current contract sales terms with direct and indirect customers. The estimation process used to determine our SRA provision has been applied on a consistent basis and no material adjustments have been necessary to increase or decrease our reserves for SRA as a result of a significant change in underlying estimates. The Company will use a variety of methods to assess the adequacy of our SRA reserves to ensure that our financial statements are fairly stated. These will include periodic reviews of customer inventory data, customer contract programs, subsequent actual payment experience, and product pricing trends to analyze and validate the SRA reserves.

The provision for chargebacks is our most significant sales allowance. A chargeback represents an amount payable in the future to a wholesaler for the difference between the invoice price paid to the Company by our wholesale customer for a particular product and the negotiated contract price that the wholesaler’s customer pays for that product. The Company’s chargeback provision and related reserve varies with changes in product mix, changes in customer pricing and changes to estimated wholesaler inventories. The provision for chargebacks also takes into account an estimate of the expected wholesaler sell-through levels to indirect customers at contract prices. The Company will validate the chargeback accrual quarterly through a review of the inventory reports obtained from our largest wholesale customers. This customer inventory information is used to verify the estimated liability for future chargeback claims based on historical chargeback and contract rates. These large wholesalers represent 90% - 95% of the Company’s chargeback payments. The Company continually monitors current pricing trends and wholesaler inventory levels to ensure the liability for future chargebacks is fairly stated.

Net revenues and accounts receivable balances in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented net of SRA estimates. Certain SRA balances are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Balance at December 31, 2016	$	2,310		$	35,881		$	3,303		$	417		$	41,911

Accounts receivable are presented net of SRA balances of $41.5 million and $14.2 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accounts payable and accrued expenses include $3.5 million and $2.5 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, for certain fees related to services provided by the wholesalers. Wholesale fees of $3.7 million , $6.3 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were included in cost of goods sold.

In addition, in connection with four of the 16 products the Company currently manufactures, markets and distributes in its own label in the U.S., in accordance with an agreement entered into in December of 2011, the Company is required to pay a royalty calculated based on net sales to one of its pharmaceutical partners. The royalty is calculated based on contracted terms of 40% of net sales for the four products, which is to be paid quarterly to the pharmaceutical partner that the agreement is with. In accordance with the agreement, net sales exclude fees related to services provided by the wholesalers. Accounts payable and accrued expenses include $0.8 million and $0.7 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, related to these royalties. Royalty expense of $3.0 million, $3.6 million and $3.6 million was included in cost of goods sold for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 respectively. The Company includes significant estimates to arrive at net product sales arising from wholesaler chargebacks, Medicaid and Medicare rebates, allowances and other pricing and promotional programs.

Contract Manufacturing Sales: The Company recognizes revenue when title transfers to its customers, which is generally upon shipment of products. These shipments are made in accordance with sales commitments and related sales orders entered into with customers either verbally or in written form. The revenues associated with these transactions, net of appropriate cash discounts, product returns and sales reserves, are recorded upon shipment of the products and are included in product sales, net on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Research and Development Income: The Company establishes agreed upon product development agreements with its customers to perform product development services. Product development revenues are recognized in accordance with the product development agreement upon the completion of the phases of development and when the Company has no future performance obligations relating to that phase of development. Revenue recognition requires the Company to assess progress against contracted obligations to assure completion of each stage. These payments are generally non-refundable and are reported as deferred until they are recognizable as revenue. If no such arrangement exists, product development fees are recognized ratably over the entire period during which the services are performed. Other types of revenue include royalty or licensing revenue, and would be recognized based upon the contractual agreement upon completion of the earnings process.

In making such assessments, judgments are required to evaluate contingencies such as potential variances in schedule and the costs, the impact of change orders, liability claims, contract disputes and achievement of contractual performance standards. Changes in total estimated contract cost and losses, if any, are recognized in the period they are determined. Billings on research and development contracts are typically based upon terms agreed upon by the Company and customer and are stated in the contracts themselves and do not always align with the revenues recognized by the Company.

Licensing and Royalty Income: Revenues earned under licensing or sublicensing contracts are recognized as earned in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The Company recognizes royalty revenue based on royalty reports received from the licensee. The Company does not have current plans to have meaningful revenue from licensing and royalty agreements in 2017.

Stock-Based Compensation

ASC 718-10 defines the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans and transactions used by the Company to account for its issuances of equity instruments to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value as well as to acquire goods or services from non-employees. Transactions in which the Company issues stock-based compensation to employees, directors and advisors and for goods or services received from non-employees are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The Company utilizes pricing models in determining the fair values of options and warrants issued as stock-based compensation. These pricing models utilize the market price of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the option or warrant, as well as time value and volatility factors underlying the positions. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the grant.

Debt Issuance Costs

Expenses related to debt financing activities are capitalized and amortized on an effective interest method, over the term of the loan. See detailed amounts per year in Notes 5 and 8.

ASU 2015-3 specifies that debt issuance costs are to be netted against the carrying value of the financial liability. Under prior guidance, debt issuance costs were recognized as a deferred charge and reported as a separate asset on the balance sheet. The updated guidance aligns the treatment of debt issuance costs and debt discounts in that both reduce the carrying value of the liability. Amortization of debt issuance costs is to be recorded as interest expense on the income statement.

Product Development and Research

The Company’s research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Costs related to shipping and handling is comprised of outbound freight and the associated labor. These costs are recorded in costs of sales.

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive common stock equivalents include shares issuable upon the conversion of the notes and the exercise of options and warrants. Due to the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016, the effect of the Company’s potential dilutive common stock equivalents was anti-dilutive; as a result, the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding and net loss per common share are the same. As of December 31, 2016, the shares of common stock issuable in connection with stock options and warrants have been excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014

Derivatives

The Company accounts for its derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815-10”). ASC 815-10 establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. ASC 815-10 also requires that changes in the fair value of derivative instruments be recognized currently in results of operations unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Company has not entered into hedging activities to date. The Company’s derivative liability is the embedded convertible option of its Convertible Notes issued December 16, 2014 (as defined in Note 6), which has been recorded as a liability at fair value until May 20, 2015, and was revalued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value of the instruments included in the consolidated statements of operations as non-operating income (expense). Due to the approval of the sufficient shares at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting, the liability for the embedded derivative was reclassified to equity on May 20, 2015. The Company has no derivatives at December 31, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires 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. Significant estimates include valuation of the derivative liability, SRA allowances, allowances for excess and obsolete inventories, allowances for doubtful accounts, provisions for income taxes and related deferred tax asset valuation allowances, stock based compensation, the impairment of long-lived assets (including intangibles and goodwill) and accruals for environmental cleanup and remediation costs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
