Note 1

The Company:

Background

STRATA Skin Sciences (the “Company”) is a medical technology company in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery dedicated to developing, commercializing and marketing innovative products for the treatment of dermatologic conditions. Its products include the XTRAC® excimer laser and VTRAC® lamp systems utilized in the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo and various other skin conditions.

The XTRAC is an ultraviolet light excimer laser system utilized to treat psoriasis, vitiligo and other skin diseases. The XTRAC excimer laser system first received clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in 2000. As of December 31, 2020, there were 832 XTRAC systems placed in dermatologists’ offices in the United States and 28 systems internationally under the Company’s recurring revenue business model. The XTRAC systems deployed under the recurring revenue model generate revenue on a per procedure basis or include a fixed payment over an agreed upon period with a capped number of treatments, which if exceeded, domestically, would incur additional fees. The per-procedure charge is inclusive of the use of the system and the services provided by the Company to the customer which includes system maintenance, and other services. The VTRAC Excimer Lamp system, offered in addition to the XTRAC system internationally, provides targeted therapeutic efficacy demonstrated by excimer technology with a lamp system.

In July 2019, the Company signed a direct distribution agreement with its Korean distributor for a combination of direct capital sales and recurring revenues for the country of South Korea.

In September 2020, the Company signed a direct distribution agreement with our Japanese distributor for a combination of direct capital sales and recurring revenue for the Country of Japan.

The Company has now introduced its Home by XTRAC™ business leveraging in-house resources including DTC advertising, in-house call center and its insurance reimbursement team to provide an at-home, insurance-reimbursed treatment option for patients with certain skin diseases that do not qualify for in-office treatments.

In February 2021, the Company signed an agreement with our Chinese distributor for a combination of direct capital sales and recurring revenues for the country of China.

In late 2019, there was an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) which became a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, constrained work force participation and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. In addition, the pandemic lead to the suspension of elective procedures in the U.S. and to the temporary closure of many physician practices which are our primary customers. We do not know the extent of the impact on our customers including their potential for permanent closure. While many offices have reopened, the on-going impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance, including its ability to execute its business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frames, will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, continued restrictions on business operations and transport and the continued impact on worldwide economic and geopolitical conditions, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Domestically, as the procedures in which the Company’s devices are used are elective in nature; and as social distancing, travel restrictions, quarantines and other restrictions became prevalent in the United States, this had a negative impact on the Company’s recurring revenue model and its financial position and cash flow. The virus has disrupted the supply chain from China and other countries and the Company depends upon its supply chain to provide a steady source of components to manufacture and repair our devices.

To mitigate the impact of COVID-19 the Company has taken a variety of measures to ensure the availability and functioning of its critical infrastructure by implementing business continuity plans, and to promote the safety and security of its employees while complying with various government mandates, including work-from-home arrangements and social-distancing initiatives to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, such as providing face masks for employees at facilities significantly impacted and requiring on-site body temperature monitoring before entering facilities. In addition, the Company created and executed programs utilizing its direct to consumer advertising and call center to contact patients and partner clinics to restart the Company’s partners’ businesses. To conserve its cash in order to mitigate the on-going impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the second quarter, the Company furloughed employees who returned to work after the Company received proceeds from the PPP Loan. The Company also reduced discretionary spending, reduced all inventory purchases and delayed payments to vendors. Delayed payments to vendors were approximately $678 as of December 31, 2020. See Note 2, Liquidity for discussion on Company liquidity.

Basis of Presentation:

Accounting Principles

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary in India. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In 2020 and 2019, there are no operations in the subsidiary in India.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications from the prior year presentation have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. The more significant estimates include (1) revenue recognition, in regard to deferred revenues and the contract term and valuation allowances of accounts receivable, (2) the inputs used in the impairment analyses of goodwill, (3) the estimated useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, (4) the inputs used in determining the fair value of equity-based awards, (5) the valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets (6) the fair value of financial instruments, including derivative instruments and warrants, (7) the inventory reserves, (8) state sales and use tax accruals and (9) warranty claims.

Revenue Recognition

In the Dermatology Recurring Procedures Segment the Company has two types of arrangements for its phototherapy treatment equipment as follows: (i) the Company places its lasers in a physician’s office at no charge to the physician, and generally charges the physician a fee for an agreed upon number of treatments; or (ii) the Company places its lasers in a physician’s office and charges the physician a fixed fee for a specified period of time not to exceed an agreed upon number of treatments; if that number is exceeded additional fees will have to be paid.

For the purposes of U.S. GAAP only, these two types of arrangements are treated under the guidance of ASC 842, Leases. While these arrangements are not contractually operating leases, since the Company sells the physician access codes in order to operate the treatment equipment, these arrangements are similar to operating leases for accounting purposes since the Company provides the customers limited rights to use the treatment equipment and the treatment equipment resides in the physician’s office and the Company may exercise the right to remove the equipment upon notice, under certain circumstances, while the physician controls the utility and output of such equipment during the term of the arrangement as it pertains to the use of access codes to treat the patients. For the lasers placed-in service- under these arrangements, the terms of the domestic arrangements are generally 36 months with automatic one-year renewals and include a termination clause that can be affected at any time by either party with 30 to 60 day notice. Amounts paid are generally non-refundable. For the first type of arrangement, sales of access codes are considered variable treatment code payments and are recognized as revenue over the estimated usage period of the agreed upon number of treatments. For the second type of arrangement, customers purchase access codes and revenue is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis as the lasers are being used over the term period specified in the agreement. Variable treatment code payments that will be paid only if the customer exceeds the agreed upon number of treatments are recognized only when such treatments are being exceeded and used. Internationally, through its Korean, Japanese and, in 2021, Chinese distributors, the Company generally sells access codes for a fixed amount on a monthly basis to end user customers and the terms are generally 48 months, with termination in the event of the customers’ failure to remit payments timely, and include a potential buy-out at the end of the term of the contract. Currently, this is the only foreign recurring revenue. Pre-paid amounts are recorded in deferred revenue and recognized as revenue over the lease term in the patterns described above. Under both methods, pricing is fixed with the customer.

With respect to lease and non-lease components, the Company adopted the practical expedient to account for the arrangement as a single lease component.

In the Dermatology Procedures Equipment segment the Company sells its products internationally through distributors and domestically, directly to a physician. For the product sales, the Company recognizes revenues when control of the promised products is transferred to either the Company’s distributors or end-user customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products (the transaction price). Control transfers to the customer at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment and legal title must have passed to the customer. The Company ships most of its products FOB shipping point, and as such, the Company primarily transfers control and records revenue upon shipment. From time to time the Company will grant certain customers, for example governmental customers, FOB destination terms, and the transfer of control for revenue recognition occurs upon receipt. The Company has elected to recognize the cost of freight and shipping activities as fulfillment costs. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included as part of the transaction price and recognized as revenue when control of the underlying goods are transferred to the customer. The related shipping and freight charges incurred by the Company are included in cost of revenues.

Remaining performance obligations related to ASC 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year, which are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. Remaining performance obligations include the potential obligation to perform under extended warranties but excludes any equipment accounted for as leases. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $115 and $324, respectively, and the Company expects to recognize $108 and $209, respectively, of the remaining performance obligations within one year and the remainder over one to three years. Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed in relation to its services performed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to receivables when the rights become unconditional. Currently, the Company does not have any contract assets which have not transferred to a receivable. Contract liabilities primarily relate to extended warranties where the Company has received payments, but has not yet satisfied the related performance obligations.

The allocations of the transaction price are based on the price of stand-alone warranty contracts sold in the ordinary course of business. The advance consideration received from customers for the warranty services is a contract liability that is recognized ratably over the warranty period. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the $108 and $209 of short-term contract liabilities, respectively, is presented as deferred revenues and the $7 and $115 of long-term contract liabilities, respectively, is presented within Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company recognized $209 and $155, respectively, as revenue from amounts classified as contract liabilities (i.e. deferred revenues) as of December 31, 2019, and 2018.

With respect to contract acquisition costs, the Company applied the practical expedient and expenses these costs immediately.

The Company records co-pay reimbursements made to patients receiving laser treatments as a reduction of revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, the Company recorded such reimbursements in the amounts of $485 and $779, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash and money market accounts at December 31, 2020, and 2019. The Company invests its cash in highly liquid short-term investments and credit card transactions with settlement terms of less than five days. The Company considers short-term investments that are purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Proceeds due from credit card transactions were $10 and $21 as of December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively. In connection with the Company’s note payable, the Company pledged the proceeds of a time-deposit account in the amount of the loan and interest and recorded the cash security as restricted cash.

Accounts Receivable, net

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from physicians, distributors (international) and other entities in the medical field. Accounts receivable are most often due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and available information about their credit risk, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are considered uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the bad debt expense. The Company does not recognize interest accruing on accounts receivable past due. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $274 and $184 at December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined based on purchased cost for raw materials and all production cost related to the laser manufacturing process (labor and indirect manufacturing cost, including sub-contracted work components) for work-in-process and finished goods is classified as inventory. For the Company’s products, cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. Work-in-process is immaterial, given the typically short manufacturing cycle, and therefore is disclosed in conjunction with raw materials.

The Company’s equipment for the treatment of skin disorders (e.g. the XTRAC) will either (i) be placed in a physician’s office and remain the property of the Company (at which date such equipment is transferred to property and equipment) or (ii) be sold to distributors or physicians directly. The cost to build a laser, whether for sale or for placement, is accumulated in inventory.

Reserves for slow moving and obsolete inventories are provided based on historical experience and product demand. Management evaluates the adequacy of these reserves periodically based on forecasted sales and market trends. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, reserves on inventory were $225 at each date, respectively.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Excimer lasers-in-service are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years. For other property and equipment, depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily three to seven years for computer hardware and software, furniture and fixtures, and machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful lives or lease terms. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments to property and equipment are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged as an expense as incurred. Upon retirement or disposition, the applicable property amounts are deducted from the accounts and any gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Useful lives are determined based upon an estimate of either physical or economic obsolescence or both.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of core technology, product technology, customer relationships, trademarks and distribution rights. Intangible assets are amortized over the period of estimated benefit using the straight-line method and estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years.

Accounting for the Impairment of Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill annually in December of each year in connection with the annual budgeting and forecast process and also between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit to which goodwill was allocated to below its carrying amount. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company may first perform an assessment qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test has been eliminated and goodwill impairment is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit over its fair value. As the Company has not identified a goodwill impairment loss, currently this guidance does not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements but could have an effect in the event of a goodwill impairment. The Company bypassed the qualitative assessment and did a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. No goodwill impairment was identified in the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, right-of-use assets and definite-lived intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the undiscounted cash flows attributable to the asset group. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value.

Functional Currency

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollars”). Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are derived in dollars or in other currencies linked to the dollar. Purchases of most materials and components are carried out in, or linked to the dollar.

For foreign currency transactions, the exchange rates applicable to the relevant transaction dates are used. Transaction gains or losses arising from changes in the exchange rates are recorded in financing income or expenses.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures and discloses fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 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 at the measurement date. 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 liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions there exists a three-tier fair-value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

•	Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

•	Level 2 – pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

•

Level 3 – pricing inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Fair value is determined using comparable market transactions and other valuation methodologies, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are based on their respective demand value, which are equal to the carrying value. The fair value of derivative warrant liability was estimated using option pricing models that was based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock as well as assumptions for volatility, remaining expected life, and the risk-free interest rate. The derivative warrant liability was the only recurring Level 3 fair value measure which expired in 2019. The carrying value of all other short-term monetary assets and liabilities is estimated to be approximate to their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. At December 31, 2019, the Company repaid its long-term debt and now has a short-term note payable that was renewed through December 30, 2021. The carrying value of this note and the Company’s long tem debt are estimated to approximate fair value.

The Company’s warrant liabilities were recorded at their fair value using binomial and Black-Scholes methods and continued- to be recorded at their respective fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date until such terms expired in February and April, 2019. (See Note 12, Warrants, for additional discussion).

Accrued Warranty Costs

The Company offers a standard warranty on product sales generally for a one to two-year period, however, the Company has offered longer warranty periods, ranging from three to four years, in order to meet competition or meet customer demands. The Company provides for the estimated cost of the future warranty claims on the date the product is sold. Total accrued warranty is included in Other Accrued Liabilities and Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The activity in the warranty accrual during the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, is summarized as follows:

	December 31,
	2020			2019

Accrual at beginning of year	$	232		$	238
Additions charged to warranty expense		67			222
Expiring warranties/claims satisfied		(186	)		(228	)
Total		113			232
Less: current portion		(87	)		(170	)
Total long-term accrued warranty costs	$	26		$	62

Product Development Costs

Costs of research, new product development and product redesign are charged to expenses as incurred in engineering and product development in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred $1,274 and $1,002 in engineering and product development costs for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Advertising expenses amounted to approximately $697 and $1,936 for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as on net operating loss carryforwards, and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is not more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with an amendment to ASC Topic 740-10, Income Taxes (Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This amendment provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained were it to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The Company has no uncertain tax positions.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and accounts receivable. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in major financial institutions in the US which, at times exceeds Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Securities Investor Protection Corporation limits. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of these institutions. The Company is of the opinion that the credit risk in respect of these balances is immaterial. In addition, the Company performs periodic credit evaluation and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of customers. (See also Accounts receivable above).

With the exception of the Company’s international distributor, as described in Note 18, Significant Customer Concentrations, the balance of the Company’s trade receivables does not represent a substantial concentration of credit risk. Most of the Company’s sales are generated in North America, to a large number of customers.

Management periodically evaluates the collectability of the trade receivables to determine the amounts that are doubtful of collection and determine a proper allowance for doubtful accounts.

Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates loss per common share and Preferred Series C share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Under ASC 260, basic loss per common share and Preferred Series C share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common shares and Preferred Series C shares by the weighted-average number of common shares and Preferred Series C shares outstanding during the reporting period and excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted loss per common share and Preferred Series C share gives effect to dilutive options, warrants and other potential common shares outstanding during the period.

Shares of Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are subordinate to all other securities at the same subordination level as common stock and they participate in all dividends and distributions declared or paid with respect to common stock of the Company, on an as-converted basis. Therefore, the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock meet the definition of common stock under ASC 260. Earnings per share is presented for each class of security meeting the definition of common stock. The loss is allocated to each class of security meeting the definition of common stock based on their contractual terms.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share by each class of security for the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019:

	Year ended						Year ended
	December 31, 2020						December 31, 2019
	Common Stock			Series C Convertible Preferred Stock			Common Stock			Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

Loss attributable to each class	$	(4,394	)	$	(18	)	$	(3,597	)	$	(193	)

Weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period		33,609,922			368			31,978,665			4,577

Basic and Diluted loss per share	$	(0.13	)	$	(48.59	)	$	(0.11	)	$	(42.24	)

The Company considered Series C Preferred Stock and 403,090 warrants issued on October 31, 2013 and February 14, 2014, to be participating securities in the presentation of earnings per share. However, the warrants are excluded from the calculation of earnings per share in periods of losses as the warrant holders do not have an obligation to fund such losses. The above referenced warrants expired on April 30, 2019 and February 14, 2019.

For the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, diluted loss per common share and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock share is equal to the basic loss per common share and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock share, respectively, since all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. All Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was converted to common stock during the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following common stock equivalents outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2020, and 2019, have been excluded from the loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

	Year Ended December 31,
		2020	2019
Common stock purchase warrants		434,791	1,517,528
Restricted stock units		131,247	128,417
Common stock options		4,957,288	4,235,451
Total		5,523,326	5,881,396

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under the fair value recognition provision of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the stock award on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures are recognized when they occur. Performance-based awards are recognized only when it is probable that the vesting conditions will be met. There were no performance awards granted in 2020 or 2019.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current U.S. GAAP, which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new guidance requires both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. In August 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842: Targeted Improvements”) which permits adoption of the guidance in ASU 2016-02 using either a modified retrospective transition, requiring application at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented or a transition method whereby companies could continue to apply existing lease guidance during the comparative periods and apply the new lease requirements through a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption rather than in the earliest period presented without adjusting historical financial statements.

The Company used the modified retrospective transition approach to ASU No. 2018-11 and applied the new lease requirements through a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us not to reassess, under the new standard, our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter not being applicable to us. This accounting standard did not have a material impact on our debt covenants. The Company has completed an evaluation of ASU 2016-02, including a review of our leases and other contracts for potential embedded leasing arrangements and has recognized approximately $848 in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. There was no impact on the Company’s revenue recognition under ASC 842.

In June 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” with the objective of simplifying several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The provisions of this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that year. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-07 on January 1, 2019, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance improves and clarifies the fair value measurement disclosure requirement of ASC 820. The new disclosure requirements include the changes in unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurement held at the end of the reporting period and the explicit requirement to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The other provisions of ASU 2018-13 also include eliminated and modified disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, including in an interim period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The new guidance eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test which was required in computing the implied fair value of goodwill. Instead, under the new amendments, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. If applicable, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss. The amendments in this guidance are effective for public business entities for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-04 on January 1, 2020, did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Statements. This pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance in March 2020, and will apply through December 31, 2022. We continue to evaluate the temporary expedients and options available under this guidance, and the effects of these pronouncements and as the Company does not have any hedging activities does not believe this will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivative and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40); Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s own Equity. The pronouncement simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. Specifically, the ASU “simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP.” In addition, the ASU “removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for it” and “simplifies the diluted earnings per share (EPS) calculations in certain areas. ”The guidance is effective beginning after December 15, 2021 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently engage in contracts covered by this guidance and does not believe it will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but could in the future.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 eliminated certain exceptions and changed guidance on other matters. The exceptions relate to the allocation of income taxes in separate company financial statements, tax accounting for equity method investments and accounting for income taxes when the interim period year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated full year loss. Changes relate to the accounting for franchise taxes that are income-based and non-income-based, determining if a step up in tax basis is part of a business combination or if it is a separate transaction, when enacted tax law changes should be included in the annual effective tax rate computation, and the allocation of taxes in separate company financial statements to a legal entity that is not subject to income tax. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December15, 2020, with early adoption permitted.

The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact but does not believe there will be an impact of the adoption of this standard on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows and related disclosures.
