Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
(a)
Basis of Preparation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and cash flows as of
March
31,
2017
and for the
three
months ended
March
31,
2017
and
2016
are unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information and on a basis consistent with the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of
March
31,
2017,
results of operations and cash flows for the
three
months ended
March
31,
2017
and
2016.
The results for the
three
months ended
March
31,
2017
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending
December
31,
2017
or for any other interim period or for any other future year.
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10
-K for the year ended
December
31,
2016,
filed with the SEC on
March
30,
2017.
 
 
(b)
Liquidity
 
The Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of
$63.0
million as of
March
31,
2017.
Management expects operating losses and negative cash flows to continue through at least the next several years.
 
Upon closing of the Merger Agreement, the combined company had approximately
$24.0
million in cash, including
$19.0
million of cash acquired as part of the Merger and
$4.4
million in net proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes in
October
2016.
Management believes cash of
$19.0
million as of
March
31,
2017
is sufficient to fund the Company for at least the next
twelve
-month period following the date of issuance of these financial statements. The Company also plans to raise other additional capital, potentially including debt and equity arrangements, to finance its future operations. If adequate funds are not available, the Company
may
be required to reduce operating expenses, delay or reduce the scope of its product development programs, obtain funds through arrangements with others that
may
require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or products that the Company would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize itself, or cease operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect.
 
 
 
(c)
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires Company management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property and equipment; allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns; inventory valuation; fair value of the convertible preferred stock warrant liability; fair value of the maturity date preferred stock warrant liability; fair value of the convertible shareholder notes derivative liability; and share-based compensation.
 
 
(d)
Principles of Consolidation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated during the consolidation process.
 
 
(e)
Significant Accounting Policies
 
The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note
2
of the notes to the financial statements included in the
2016
Form
10
-K. There have been no changes to those policies except as described below.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
 
 
In
March
2016,
the FASB issued ASU
2016
-
09,
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic
718):
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (ASU
2016
-
09).
The standard is intended to simplify several areas of accounting for share-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, classification in the statement of cash flows and forfeitures. The Company adopted ASU
2016
-
09
effective
January
1,
2017.
 
The impact of adopting ASU
2016
-
09
resulted in the following:
 
 
We will classify the excess income tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangement as a discrete item within income tax expense, rather than recognizing such excess income tax benefits in additional
 paid-in
 capital.
 The adoption of this guidance had no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements due to a full valuation allowance recognized against our deferred tax assets.
 
We elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The cumulative effect adjustment as a result of the adoption of this guidance on a modified retrospective basis was insignificant.
 
We applied the change in classification of cash flows resulting from excess tax benefits and cash paid by us when directly withholding shares for
 tax-withholding
 purposes on a retrospective basis. The adoption of these provisions did not result in changes in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flow.
 
There were no other material impacts to our condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting this updated standard.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
May
2014,
the FASB issued ASU No.
2014
-
09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606),
which provides comprehensive guidance for revenue recognition. ASU
2014
-
09
affects any entity which either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance provides that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new standard can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of the change recognized at the date of the initial application in retained earnings.
 
In
August
2015,
the FASB issued ASU
2015
-
14
Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which deferred the effective date for implementation of the standard. Public entities are to apply the new standard for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after
December
15,
2017
and earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after
December
15,
2016,
including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company has not elected early adoption and has not concluded on an adoption method. The Company has formed a task force that is beginning to assess the Company’s customer contracts and the potential impacts the standard
may
have on previously reported revenues and future revenues.
 Given the relatively small volume of revenue arrangements, the Company believes that the analysis will be completed in sufficient time to adopt the new standard when required.
  
In
February
2016,
the FASB issued ASU
2016
-
02
Leases (Topic
842),
which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic
840)”
and generally requires all leases to be recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. ASU
2016
-
02
is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after
December
15,
2018;
early adoption is permitted. The Company does not plan to elect early adoption. The provisions of ASU
2016
-
02
are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
