)     Operating Lease Right-of-Use Asset, Net               

The Company adopted the new lease standard on

January 1, 2019

using the cumulative-effect method. Prior periods were

not

retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception by assessing whether it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company’s operating lease is primarily related to a property lease for its laboratory and corporate offices. BioCardia’s lease agreement does

not

contain any material residual guarantees or material restrictive covenants, nor does it contain an additional lease extension.

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease does

not

provide an implicit rate. The Company used an adjusted historical incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the approximate lease commencement date, to determine the present value of lease payments. The net lease asset was adjusted for deferred rent, lease incentives, and prepaid rent. Variable rent expense is made up of expenses for common area maintenance and shared utilities and were

not

included in the determination of the present value of lease payments. The Company has

no

finance leases. The new lease standard did

not

materially impact its condensed consolidated statements of operations.
