SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less as the date of acquisition are classified as cash equivalents, of which we had $1.0 million and $4.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, included within Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheets.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts based on standard prices and do not bear interest. We provide an allowance for doubtful receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer’s trade accounts receivable. Provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable are charged to Selling, general and administrative expense, with an offsetting credit to the allowance for uncollectible accounts.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in progress and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market value, using the first-in, first-out convention. Cost includes the acquired cost of raw materials, with work-in-progress and finished goods including the application of labor costs related to the manufacturing process. Raw materials are stocked to reduce the risk of impact on manufacturing for any potential supply interruptions or long lead times on certain ingredients.
Reserves for obsolete inventory consist of reserves primarily related to obsolete product containers and delivery systems.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Equipment held under finance leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments less accumulated amortization.
Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Research and development equipment5 years
Office and computer equipment3 years
Autos5 years
Furniture and fixtures7 years
The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the life of the improvement or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Equipment held under finance leases are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. The Company incurs maintenance costs on its major equipment. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require long-lived assets or asset groups to be tested for possible impairment, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow models and the use of third- party independent appraisals. We have not recorded an impairment of long-lived assets since our inception.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), we recognize revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
We derive revenue primarily from commercial sales of products, net of discounts and promotions, as well as consulting and implementation services provided in conjunction with our product deployments. We recognize revenue when product is shipped at a fixed selling price with payment terms of 30 to 120 days from invoicing. We recognize any other revenue earned from pilot studies, consulting and implementation services upon the performance of specific services under the respective service contract.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development employees, stock-based compensation, consulting fees, lab supplies, costs incurred related to conducting scientific trials and field studies, regulatory compliance costs, as well as manufacturing
costs associated with process improvement and other research. Research and development expenses include an allocation of facilities related costs, including depreciation of equipment.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based awards, consisting of stock options and restricted stock units expected to be settled in shares of our common stock, are recorded as equity awards. The grant date fair value of these awards is measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options and grant date market value for restricted stock units. We expense the grant date fair value of our stock-based awards on a straight-line basis over their respective vesting periods.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and was $224,000 and $238,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.
We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessments as to recoverability and if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances are recorded which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. We currently maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
We apply a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. Only those benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities are recognized. Based on our evaluation, we have concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements.
We recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. There are no uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023 and as such, no interest or penalties were recorded in income tax expense.
Comprehensive Loss
We have no other comprehensive income items for the periods presented. As a result, our net loss and comprehensive loss were the same for all periods presented and a separate statement of comprehensive loss is not included in the accompanying financial statements.
