2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following are interim updates to certain of the policies described in “Note 2”  to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014:

 

Fair Value Measurements - The Company categorizes its financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis based upon the level of judgments associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.  Hierarchical levels, which are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to determine the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, are as follows:

 

Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable for the assets or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.

 

Level 3 — Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.  Consideration is given to the risk inherent in the valuation technique and the risk inherent in the inputs to the model.

 

Each major category of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are categorized based upon the lowest level of significant input to the valuations.  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.  Financial instruments in Level 1 generally include U.S. treasuries and mutual funds listed in active markets.

 

The Company’s only assets and liabilities which were measured at fair value as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were Level 1 and were comprised of cash and cash equivalents of $134.6 and $159.2 million, respectively.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents permit daily redemption and the fair values of these investments are based upon the quoted prices in active markets provided by the holding financial institutions.  Cash equivalents consist of liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase.

 

The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each quarter.  There were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company held no securities that were in an unrealized gain or loss position.  The Company reviews the status of each security quarterly to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.  In making its determination, the Company considers a number of factors, including: (1) the significance of the decline, (2) whether the securities were rated below investment grade, (3) how long the securities have been in an unrealized loss position, and (4) the Company’s ability and intent to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time for it to recover.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share - Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares and other dilutive securities outstanding during the period.  Potentially dilutive securities from stock options, restricted stock units and warrants to purchase common stock would be antidilutive as the Company incurred a net loss.  Potentially dilutive common shares resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants are determined based on the treasury stock method.

 

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:
