Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Common stock warrants which are classified as a liability are recorded at their fair market value as of each reporting period.

The measurement of fair value requires the use of techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

•

Level

– Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•

Level

– Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are

not

active; and model-derived valuations where inputs are observable or where significant value drivers are observable.

•

Level

– Instruments where significant value drivers are unobservable to

third

parties.

The Company uses model-derived valuations where certain inputs are unobservable to

third

parties to determine the fair value of certain common stock warrants on a recurring basis and classifies such liability-classified warrants in Level

As described in

Note

, the fair value of the liability classified warrant was

$6.1

million

March 31, 2020

There were

transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy for the

three

months ended

March 31, 2020

. As of

March 31, 2020

and

December 31, 2019,

the Company had approximately

$58.7

million and

$56.7

million, respectively, of cash equivalents classified as Level

financial instruments. There were

Level

financial instruments as of

March 31, 2020.

As of

December 31, 2019,

the Company had approximately

$5.6

million and

$90.0

million of restricted cash equivalents classified as Level

and Level

financial instruments, respectively.

The following table presents changes in the liability-classified warrant measured at fair value using Level

inputs:
