2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars and includes the accounts of Neuronetics and Greenbrook. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest based on either the variable interest entity (VIE) or voting interest model (VOE). The Company is required to first apply the VIE model to determine whether it holds a variable interest in an entity, and if so, whether the entity is a VIE. ASC Topic 810, Consolidation ("Topic 810") defines the criteria for determining the existence of VIEs and provides guidance for consolidation.

An entity is considered to be a VIE if (i) the entity does not have enough equity to finance its own activities without additional support, (ii) the entity's at-risk equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, or (iii) the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE for financial reporting purposes. A VIE can have only one primary beneficiary but may not have a primary beneficiary if no party meets the criteria described above.

If the Company determines it does not hold a variable interest in a VIE, the Company applies the VOE model. To the extent the entity does not meet the definition of a VIE, Topic 810 guidance for voting interest entities is applied. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest, and therefore consolidation by the Company, is ownership of a majority voting interest of a corporation or a majority of kick-out rights for a limited partnership. The Company has determined that all its subsidiaries are VOEs primarily because it holds a majority voting interest in the entities.

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk to the Company’s earnings that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. The Company has minimal exposure to currency risk as substantially all of the Company’s revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company pays certain vendors and payroll costs in Canadian dollars from time to time, but due to the limited size and nature of these payments it does not give rise to significant currency risk.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC, requires the use of estimates and assumptions, based on judgments considered

reasonable, which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Although management believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable when made, they are based upon information available at the time they are made. Management evaluates the estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and, if necessary, makes adjustments. Due to the risks and uncertainties involved in the Company’s business and evolving market conditions and given the subjective element of the estimates and assumptions made, actual results may differ from estimated results.
