The Company uses the market approach technique to value its financial instruments and there were no changes in valuation techniques during 2021 or 2020. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts

receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable. For accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable the carrying amounts of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were considered representative of their fair values due to their short term to maturity or repayment. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value.

 

The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of a contingent liability resulting from the Anawah acquisition, as described in Note 17, a contingent liability resulting from the Industrial Seed Innovations acquisition, as described in Note 6, and common stock warrant liabilities related to the March 2018, the June 2019, the September 2019, and the January 2021 Offerings described in Note 13.  

 

The contingent liability related to the Anawah acquisition was measured and recorded on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, using unobservable inputs, namely the Company’s ability and intent to pursue certain specific products developed using technology acquired in the purchase. A significant deviation in the Company’s ability and/or intent to pursue the technology acquired in the purchase could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. The contingent liability related to the Industrial Seed Innovations (“ISI”) acquisition was measured and recorded on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, using unobservable inputs, namely ISI’s forecasted revenue. A significant deviation in ISI’s forecasted revenue could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

 

The warrant liabilities were measured and recorded on a recurring basis using the Black-Scholes Model with the following assumptions at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:  

 

 

 

January 2021 Warrants

The significant input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 warrant liabilities is volatility. A significant increase (decrease) in volatility could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
