EXPLANATORY NOTE
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, all references to “View”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, refer to View, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Report”) restates certain items to reflect the correction of a material misstatement in the previously issued unaudited interim condensed financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 financial statements related to the Company’s accounting treatment of warranty-related obligations and other immaterial prior period misstatements. The Company is also restating its audited annual financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 in connection with the filing of its 2021 Form 10-K on June 15, 2022 and its unaudited financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and March 31, 2021 in connection with the filing of its Q1 2021 Form 10-Q/A and Q2 2021 Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 15, 2022.
Background of Restatement

As previously disclosed on August 16, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) initiated an independent investigation concerning the adequacy of the Company’s previously reported warranty accrual (the “Investigation”).

Based on the independent investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that (i) the Company’s previously reported liabilities associated with warranty-related obligations and the cost of revenue associated with the recognition of those liabilities were materially misstated, (ii) the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and certain former accounting staff negligently failed to properly record the liabilities for warranty-related obligations and cost of revenue, and (iii) the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and certain former accounting staff intentionally failed to disclose certain information to the Board of Directors and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) regarding the applicable costs incurred and expected to be incurred in connection with the warranty-related obligations.

As reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 9, 2021, the Audit Committee concluded, with the concurrence of management that certain financial statements of the Company should no longer be relied upon and would require restatement in order to correct misstatements in those financial statements relating to the recording and reporting of the warranty-related obligations. In connection with this restatement, the Company is also correcting other immaterial prior period misstatements.

This Quarterly Report includes the restatement of the unaudited quarterly financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 (the "Restated Periods"). The 2020 beginning equity has also been restated for the prior period impact. The financial information that had been previously filed or otherwise reported related to the Restated Periods is superseded by the information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the restated 2020 and 2019 financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K being filed in conjunction with this filing; therefore, the financial statements and related financial information contained in previously filed reports should no longer be relied upon.

The restatement is further described and the impact of the restatement is included in Note 2 of the “Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” included in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements (Unaudited)” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Controls Considerations

In connection with the restatement, the Audit Committee concluded, with concurrence of management, that there were additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that constituted additional material weaknesses as of September 30, 2021. For a discussion of management's consideration of our disclosure controls and procedures and the material weaknesses identified, See Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures of this Form 10-Q.

Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are sometimes accompanied by words such as “believe,” “continue,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “predict,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ from the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused significant economic uncertainty. You should carefully consider the factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 15, 2022. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. The Company does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

1.Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
View, Inc. (f/k/a CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively “View” or the “Company”) headquartered in Milpitas, California, is a technology company that manufactures smart building products intended to help improve people’s health, productivity and experience, while simultaneously reducing energy consumption. View’s primary product is a proprietary electrochromic or “smart” glass panel that when combined with View’s proprietary network infrastructure and software, intelligently adjusts in response to the sun by tinting from clear to dark states, and vice versa thereby reducing heat and glare. The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts towards the manufacturing, sale and further development of its product platforms, and marketing of both custom and standardized product solutions. The Company has also devoted significant resources to enable its new View Smart Building Platform, a new offering beginning in 2021.
On March 8, 2021 (the “Closing Date” or “Closing”), CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II (“CF II”), a Delaware corporation, consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 30, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among CF II, PVMS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of CF II (“Merger Sub”), and View, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Legacy View”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a business combination between CF II and Legacy View was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy View, with Legacy View (the “Business Combination”) surviving as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CF II (the “Merger” and collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). On the Closing Date, CF II changed its name from CF Finance Acquisition Corp. II to View, Inc. and Legacy View changed its name to View Operating Corporation.
On March 8, 2021, the Company completed the Transactions and raised net proceeds of $771.3 million, net of transaction costs of $43.9 million. In conjunction with the Transactions, the Company repaid in full the revolving debt facility of $276.8 million, including accrued interest and future interest through maturity of the notes of $26.8 million. See Note 3 for additional information regarding the reverse recapitalization.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting and are unaudited. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of View, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020, included in View’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 15, 2022 (the "2021 Form 10-K"). The information as of December 31, 2020 included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from those audited consolidated financial statements as restated for the items described within this report. See Note 2 for further information.
As a result of the Transactions completed on March 8, 2021, prior period share and per share amounts presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and these related notes have been retroactively converted in an amount determined by application of the exchange ratio of 0.02325 (“Exchange Ratio”), which was based on Legacy View’s implied price per share prior to the Merger.
The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and included herein reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2021, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the cash flows for the nine months ended September

30, 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other future interim or annual periods.
All amounts are presented in U.S. dollars ($).
Liquidity and Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Since inception, the Company has not achieved profitable operations or positive cash flows from operations. The Company’s accumulated deficit totaled $2,178.3 million as of September 30, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had a net loss of approximately $263.9 million and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $188.7 million. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we had a net loss of approximately $200.0 million and negative cash flows from operations of approximately $123.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 was $373.1 million. The Company has historically financed its operations through the issuance and sale of redeemable convertible preferred stock, the issuance of debt financing, the gross proceeds associated with the Merger and revenue generation from product sales. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, enter into profitable sales contracts and generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis. The Company’s business will require significant amounts of capital to sustain operations and the Company will need to make the investments it needs to execute its long-term business plans.

The Company has determined that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, as the Company does not currently have adequate financial resources to fund its forecasted operating costs and meet its obligations for at least twelve months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

While the Company will seek to raise additional capital, there can be no assurance the necessary financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company raises funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing. In addition, recent and anticipated future increases in federal fund rates set by the Federal Reserve, which serve as a benchmark for rates on borrowing, will impact the cost of debt financing.

If we are unable to obtain adequate capital resources to fund operations, we would not be able to continue to operate our business pursuant to our current business plan, which would require us to modify our operations to reduce spending to a sustainable level by, among other things, delaying, scaling back or eliminating some or all of our ongoing or planned investments in corporate infrastructure, business development, sales and marketing, research and development and other activities, which would have a material impact on our operations and our ability to increase revenues, or we may be forced to discontinue our operations entirely.

View’s Pandemic Response
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted health and economic conditions throughout the U.S., including the construction industry. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be dynamic and evolving, and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s operations will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted with certainty, including the duration of the pandemic, resurgences of COVID-19 infections and the emergence of new variants, the availability and efficacy of vaccines, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the governmental measures to contain or treat its impact, among others. COVID-19’s disruptions to the construction industry may reduce or delay new construction projects or result in cancellations or delays of existing planned construction. Supply of certain materials used by the Company in the manufacturing of its products that are sourced from a limited number of suppliers may also be disrupted. For example, we utilize semiconductor chips in certain products that we manufacture, and semiconductor chips have been subject to an ongoing global shortage. This shortage may cause delays in our production and increase the cost to obtain semiconductor chips and

components that use semiconductor chips. In addition, long-term effects of COVID-19 on employer work-from-home policies and therefore demand for office space cannot be predicted. Any one or a combination of such events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.

To address these conditions, the Company established protocols to continue business operations as an essential industry, helped insulate its supply chain from delays and disruptions, and assessed its business operations and financial plans as a result of COVID-19. The Company optimized its financial plan by focusing on sales growth and by reducing and delaying incremental spending on operating and capital expenditures compared with the pre-COVID business plan. In particular, in the second quarter of 2020, the Company began reducing operating costs through headcount reductions and reduction of operating expenditures for third-party contractors. During 2021, these cost reduction efforts were relaxed and headcount increased in order to respond to increased demand for our product and services.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Other than policies noted below, there have been no significant changes to the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 1 of the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included in View’s 2021 Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the warranty accrual, the fair value of common stock prior to reverse recapitalization and other assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation, the fair value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, warrants, sponsor earn-out liability, and the estimation of costs to complete the performance obligations under contracts for revenue recognition. Other estimates include the fair value of acquired intangible assets and their respective useful lives, the determination of standalone selling price of various performance obligations, the valuation of deferred tax assets and uncertain income tax positions, and the recoverability of long-lived assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, the current economic environment, and on assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in the Company’s business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate which may require significant judgment. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held by domestic financial institutions with high credit standings. Such deposits may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, two customers represented greater than 10.0% of total revenue, each accounting for 16.1% and 11.2% of total revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, two customers represented greater than 10.0% of total revenue, each accounting for 14.4% and 10.4% of total revenue. Three customers accounted for 55.3% of accounts receivable, net as of September 30, 2021, including 24.3%, 21.0%, and 10.0%, respectively. Two customers accounted for 24.6% of accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2020, including 13.1% and 11.5%, respectively. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security in support of accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.
Certain materials used by the Company in the manufacturing of its products are purchased from a limited number of suppliers. Shortages could occur in these materials due to an interruption of supply or increased demand in the industry. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, one supplier accounted for 35.0% of total purchases. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, one supplier accounted for 45.2% of total purchases.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are invested in demand deposits, U.S. Treasury bills and money market mutual funds. The Company considers investments with original maturities greater than three months and remaining maturities less than one year to be short-term investments. Demand deposits and U.S Treasury bills are carried at cost, which approximates fair value and money market funds are reported at fair value based upon quoted market prices.

The Company is required by its bank to collateralize letters of credit issued to the Company’s lessors, suppliers, customers, utility providers, and for the Company’s purchasing card program. All amounts in restricted cash as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 represent funds held in certificates of deposit and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash is classified as current or non-current on the consolidated balance sheets based on the remaining term of the restriction.

Fair Value Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is defined as an exchange price 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. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be either recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact, and it also considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1    Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2    Inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.
Level 3    Unobservable inputs in which there are little or no market data and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions.
Cash equivalents relating to demand deposits and U.S. Treasury bills, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Short-term and long-term debt are carried at amortized cost, which approximates its fair value. See Note 5 for further information.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Billing practices for certain contracts with customers are governed by the contract terms of each project based on (i) progress toward completion approved by the owner, (ii) achievement of milestones or (iii) pre-agreed schedules. Billings do not necessarily correlate with revenues recognized under the cost-to-cost input method. The Company records contract assets and contract liabilities to account for these differences in timing.

Certain contracts under which we perform work contain retainage provisions. Retainage refers to amounts that we have billed to the customer, but such amounts are being held for payment by the customer pending satisfactory completion of the project. Retainage on active contracts is classified as a current asset regardless of the term of the contract and is generally collected within one year of the completion of a contract. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, contract assets included $1.2 million and nil, respectively, of retainage, which was being contractually withheld by customers until completion of the associated contracts.

Other contract assets arise when the Company recognizes revenues for performance under its contracts, but the Company is not yet entitled to bill the customer under the terms of the contract. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, these other contract assets totaled $3.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for revenue that has been recognized for performance, but the customer has not yet been billed. Once amounts are billed to customers, the asset is classified within Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances.

Contract liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to provide goods or services to a customer for which the Company has been paid by the customer or for which the Company has billed the customer under the terms of the contract. Revenue for future services reflected in this account are recognized, and the liability is reduced, as the Company subsequently satisfies the performance obligation under the contract. Contract liabilities are presented as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets.
Inventories
Inventories consist of finished goods which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Costs are measured on a first-in, first out basis using standard cost, which approximates actual cost. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of the Company’s products in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Inventories are written down to their net realizable value if they have become obsolete, have a cost basis in excess of expected net realizable value, or are in excess of expected demand. Once inventory is written down, its new value is maintained until it is sold, scrapped, or written down for further valuation losses. The valuation of inventories requires the Company to make judgments based on currently available information about the likely method of disposition and current and future product demand relative to the remaining product life. Inventory valuation losses are classified as cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company recorded inventory impairments of $8.9 million as of September 30, 2021.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events indicate that a potential impairment may have occurred. If such events arise, the Company will compare the carrying amount of the asset group comprising the long-lived assets to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the estimated aggregate undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset group, an impairment charge is recorded as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the assets, as based on the expected discounted future cash flows attributable to those assets. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

The Company regularly reviews its long-lived assets for triggering events or other circumstances that could indicate impairment. As of September 30, 2021, no triggering events or other circumstances were identified. There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
From time to time, the Company makes acquisitions of companies related to existing, complementary or new markets. During 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of ioTium, which was immaterial to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company has not presented pro forma combined results for this acquisition because the impact on previously reported statements of operations would not have been material individually or in the aggregate. Acquisition-related costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.
On July 7, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of ioTium, the leading provider of secure, cloud-managed, software-defined IoT networks. The total purchase consideration, net of cash acquired and including deferred consideration of $1.1 million, was $7.0 million. At closing, the Company paid approximately $4.9 million in cash. Total non-cash consideration was $1.0 million and consisted of the settlement of outstanding services due to the Company from ioTium at the transaction date. As part of the purchase price allocation, the Company acquired $5.1 million of intangible assets related to developed technology, trade name, and contract backlog and $3.7 million of goodwill. The goodwill was primarily attributable to strategic opportunities that arose from the acquisition of ioTium. The goodwill was not deductible for tax purposes. The preliminary purchase price allocation is final as of September 30, 2021.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the purchase price over the sum of the amounts assigned to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but reviewed for impairment as of October 1 each fiscal year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. The evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment requires the exercise of significant judgment. Other intangible assets are presented at cost, net of accumulated amortization, and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 4 years using the straight-line method. Other intangible assets primarily include purchased technology.
There were no impairments of goodwill or intangible assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Impairment of goodwill or intangible assets may result in the future from significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets, negative industry or economic trends or significant underperformance relative to historical or projected operating results.
Product Warranties
The Company provides a standard assurance type warranty that its insulating glass units (“IGUs”) will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for generally 10 years from the date of delivery to customers. IGUs with sloped or laminated glass generally have a warranty of 5 or 10 years. Control systems associated with the sale of Controls, Software and Services (“CSS”) typically have a 5-year warranty. As part of the Company’s Smart Building Platform contracts, the Company generally warrants that the workmanship of the sub-assemblies and installation of the Smart Building Platform are free from defects and in conformance with the contract documents for one year from completion. In resolving warranty claims, the Company’s standard warranty terms provide that the Company generally has the option of repairing, replacing or refunding the selling price of the covered product. The Company has not been requested to and has not provided any refunds, which would be treated as a reduction to revenue, to date as of September 30, 2021. The Company accrues for estimated claims of defective products at the time revenue is recognized based on historical warranty claims rates. The Company’s estimated costs for standard warranty claims are based on future estimated costs the Company expects to incur to replace the IGUs or control systems multiplied by the estimated IGU or control system warranty claims, respectively, based on warranty contractual terms and business practices. The total warranty liability included $4.1 million and $5.5 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to this standard assurance warranty.
In 2019, the Company identified a quality issue with certain material purchased from one of its suppliers utilized in the manufacturing of certain IGUs. The Company stopped using the affected materials upon identification of the quality issue in 2019. The Company has replaced and expects to continue to replace the affected IGUs for the remainder of the period covered by the warranty. The Company developed a statistical model to analyze the risk of failure of the affected IGUs related to this quality issue and predict the potential number of future failures that may occur during the remaining warranty period, as well as the timing of the expected failures. Management judgment is necessary to determine the distribution fit and covariates utilized in the statistical model, as well as the relative tolerance to declare convergence. The statistical model considered the volume of units sold, the volume of unit failures, data patterns, and other characteristics associated with the failed IGUs as well as the IGUs that had not yet failed as of each financial reporting period. These characteristics include, but are not limited to, time to

failure, manufacture date, location of installation, and environmental factors. Based on this analysis, the Company has recorded a specific warranty liability using the estimated number of affected IGUs expected to fail in the remaining warranty period and applying estimated costs the Company expects to incur to replace the IGUs based on warranty contractual terms and business practices. The total warranty liability included $38.6 million and $42.1 million as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to these IGUs.
The Company monitors warranty obligations and may make adjustments to its warranty liabilities if actual costs of product repair and replacement are significantly higher or lower than estimated. Accruals for anticipated future warranty costs are recorded to cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and included in other current liabilities and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Warranty liabilities are based on estimates of failure rates and future costs to settle warranty claims that are updated periodically, taking into consideration inputs such as changes in the volume of claims compared with the Company’s historical experience, and changes in the cost of servicing warranty claims. The estimated cost includes the Company’s expectations regarding future total cost of replacement, as well as fixed cost absorption as production increases. The Company accounts for the effect of changes in estimates prospectively.
Changes in warranty liabilities are presented below (in thousands). See Note 2 for discussion of the material misstatement of the previously reported warranty liability balances as of December 31, 2020.

Warranty liability, current, ending balance$7,961 $8,864 
Warranty liability, noncurrent, ending balance$34,794 $38,814 
During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a charge to Cost of revenues of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to adjustments to the warranty liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a charge to Cost of revenues of $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to adjustments to the warranty liability.
Considering the uncertainty inherent in the failure analysis, including the actual timing of the failures and the number of defective IGUs, as well as uncertainty regarding future supply chain costs and production volumes that may impact the projected costs to replace defective IGUs in future years, it is reasonably possible that the amount of costs to be incurred to replace the defective IGUs could ultimately be materially different from the estimate. Unforeseen component failures or exceptional component performance can also result in changes to warranty costs. If actual warranty costs differ substantially from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to the warranty liabilities presented above, the Company has $1.8 million and $0.8 million included within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, for incremental performance obligations promised to customers in connection with IGU failures associated with the quality issue described above. There were no costs associated with these obligations for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The costs associated with these obligations are included within Cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss, and was $5.1 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

Revenue Recognition
The Company has historically generated revenue from (i) the manufacturing and sale of View Smart Glass IGUs, that are coated on the inside with a proprietary technology and are designed and built to customer specifications that include sizes for specific windows, skylights, and doors in specified or designated areas of a building and (ii) selling the View Smart Glass CSS, which includes electrical connections schema, sky sensors, window controllers and control panels with embedded software, cables and connectors that when combined with the IGUs enable the IGUs to tint. Also included in CSS is a system design, in which a design document is provided to lay out the IGUs, as well as a commissioning service, in which the installed IGUs and CSS components are tested and tinting configurations are set by the Company. For this Smart Glass products offering, View serves as a materials provider to its Smart Glass customers, which are typically glaziers for IGUs and low-voltage electricians (“LVE”) or General Contractors (“GC”) for CSS.

Under View’s Smart Glass product offering, when the owner, tenant or developer of the building approves of the use of View products, a non-binding letter of understanding with the owner, tenant or developer is signed. The Company subsequently enters into the legally enforceable supplier contracts with its Smart Glass customers (i.e., glaziers for IGUs and LVEs or GCs for CSS), to deliver the Smart Glass products and services. For Smart Glass projects, the Company does not have a role in the assembly nor the installation of the framed IGUs. The design of the integrated platform, as well as assembly and installation of the IGUs and the electrical components included in the CSS is performed by the Smart Glass customers. The Company performs a commissioning service under the CSS contract after its customers have completed installation of the IGUs and CSS electrical components. Additionally, in limited circumstances, the Company contracts to provide extended or enhanced warranties of its products in addition to its standard assurance warranty, which are recognized as revenue over the respective term of the warranty period.

During 2021, the Company entered into and commenced work on the first contract under its new product offering, View’s Smart Building Platform. In these types of arrangements, the Company contracts with the Smart Building Platform customers, which are typically the owners, tenants or developers of buildings, or the general contractor acting on behalf of the Company’s customers. With View's Smart Building Platform, the smart building network serves as the backbone of the offering and is integrated by View into the building envelope system along with the View Smart Glass IGUs, which serve as individual nodes on the building network.

This platform also enables the Company's Smart Building Technologies product offerings, as more fully described further below, to also be integrated as additional nodes on View’s smart building network and tailored to the customer's specific needs depending upon their desired smart building functionality.

In these arrangements View takes responsibility for all activities needed to fulfill its single performance obligation of transferring control to the customer of a fully operational Smart Building Platform deliverable; from design, fabrication, installation, integration, commissioning, and testing. Underlying these activities is View’s responsibility for performing an essential and significant service of integrating each of the inputs of its completed solution. These inputs include View’s smart network infrastructure and IGUs, both of which are integrated into the window glazing system, which is fabricated by an unrelated subcontractor contracted by View to work on its behalf, as well as designing how the entire Smart Building Platform will be integrated and installed into the customer’s architectural specifications for the building that is being constructed or retrofitted.

View’s integration services also include the activities of installing, commissioning and testing to enable the transfer of a complete and operational system. The Company also uses subcontractors it selects and hires for portions of the installation labor.

Given that View is responsible for providing the service of integrating each of the inputs into a single combined output, View controls that output before it is transferred to the customer and accordingly, View is the principal in the arrangement and will recognize the entire arrangement fee as its revenue, with any fees that View pays to its subcontractors recognized in its cost of revenue.

Other factors present in these arrangements which supports the assertion that View controls the deliverable before it is transferred to the customer include: the customer considers View to be primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide a fully integrated Smart Building Platform, View has significant inventory risk, and it has complete discretion in the price negotiated with all parties engaged by View, including the customer, subcontractors, and third-party suppliers. Lastly,

View determines how it will fulfill these arrangements and has complete discretion over the contracting of subcontractors to work on its behalf as well as the pricing discretion over these subcontractor arrangements. The pricing discretion that View exercises, both with respect to the customer as well as with View’s subcontractors, can often result in View having all of the risk of loss on the contract, as the performance obligation promised to the customer included within these contracts is generally in exchange for fixed fees while payments made to the subcontractors are based on cost plus margin or fixed fee arrangements.

The Company's Smart Building Technologies includes a suite of products that are either integrated into the View Smart Building Platform, added-on to View Smart Glass contracts or sold separately, and (i) transform View smart windows into transparent, digital, interactive surfaces to enable immersive experiences, (ii) provide the ability to measure and optimize certain environmental variables, (iii) provide the customer the ability to self-monitor for intrusions, (iv) provide a platform to aggregate building and tenant data into a consolidated dashboard to optimize every aspect of building operations and workplace experience or (v) provide a hosted platform to facilitate smart and secure management of global networked assets. These offerings have either been internally developed by the Company, such as View Immersive Experiences, and View Sense, or have been acquired through the Company's acquisition of ioTium, such as View Security Suite. When these products are integrated into the View Smart Building Platform, such offerings are included as part of the full contract with the customer. When these products are added-on to Smart Glass contracts or sold separately, the Company contracts separately with the customer to provide such items. Revenue generated from these products has not been material to date.

View recognizes revenue as or when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. View determines revenue recognition through the following five steps:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer;

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

Step 3: Determine the transaction price;

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Step 5: Recognize revenue as or when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Contracts for View’s Smart Building Platform

When a customer elects to purchase the Smart Building Platform, View signs legally enforceable contracts directly with the building owner/developers or their GC, acting on their behalf, for delivery of the Smart Building Platform.

The Company enters into legally binding trade contracts with the customer that outlines the rights and obligations of the Company, including specifications of the integrated platform to be provided. The promises to the customer included within these contracts, as described above, are integrated and highly interdependent, and they must work seamlessly together to deliver a fully functional Smart Building Platform. As the Company performs a significant service of integrating the promised goods and services into a combined output, these contracts constitute a single, combined performance obligation.

The contracting for these Smart Building Platform arrangements with building owners, real estate developers, or their agents, is subject to significant negotiations. Accordingly, each of these contracts must be evaluated on the terms and conditions of the underlying agreement based on their individual facts and circumstances.

The Company determines the transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received, which is the contract price. When the contract contains payment terms that are extended beyond one year or other financing arrangements in conjunction with the contract, a significant financing component may exist. In such cases, the Company adjusts the contract price at an amount that reflects the cash selling price. Payment terms may vary but are generally net 30 days from request for payment. As the View Smart Building Platform is typically a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to this performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue over time using a cost-to-cost input method where progress on the performance obligation is measured by the proportion of actual costs incurred to the total costs expected to complete the contract. Recognizing revenue using a cost-to-cost input method provides an objective measure of progress and thereby best depicts the extent of transfer of control to the customer. Management judgment is required to estimate the progress towards completion. Significant changes in this estimate could affect the profitability of our contracts. Changes to estimated profit on contracts are recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract’s progress towards fulfillment of the performance obligation. When the total estimated costs for a contract exceed contracted revenue, an accrual for the loss on the contract is recognized as cost of revenue at the time of contract execution. As actual costs are incurred that are in excess of revenue recognized, they are recorded against the loss accrual, which is therefore reduced. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized a total of $10.3 million and $24.5 million, respectively, for initial contract loss accruals, of which the balance of estimated contract losses for work that had not yet been completed totaled $17.0 million as of September 30, 2021. There were no Smart Building Platform contracts during the nine months ending September 30, 2020 and therefore the contract loss accrual at September 30, 2020 was nil.

Change orders are modifications of an original contract that effectively change the existing provisions of the contract without adding new provisions or terms. Change orders may include changes in specifications or designs, manner of performance, materials and period of completion of the work. Either the Company or our customers may initiate change orders. The Company has had an immaterial amount of change orders to date, and has recognized these as a contract modification when the change order is approved.

Contracts for View Smart Glass

Under View’s Smart Glass product offering, the Company is a provider of building materials in the form of IGUs and CSS. These materials are designed and fabricated by the Company in order to meet the building-site specifications of the end user, which is typically the owner, tenant or developer of buildings. When the end user approves of the use of View products, a non-binding letter of understanding with the owner, tenant or developer is signed. The Company subsequently enters into the legally enforceable supplier contracts with its Smart Glass customers (i.e., glaziers for IGUs and LVEs or GCs for CSS), to deliver the Smart Glass products and services. The glaziers and LVEs are subcontracted by the end user and are responsible for the installation of the Smart Glass products at the building-site. The Company enters into separate legally binding agreements with both the glazier and the LVE or GC to deliver IGUs and CSS, respectively, who are unrelated parties and therefore such contracts cannot be combined and accounted for as a single contract.

Contracts with glaziers for IGUs include the promise to provide multiple customized IGUs. Each IGU represents a distinct and separate single performance obligation as the customer can benefit from each unit on its own. Each unit is separately identifiable, and does not modify or customize other units. The Company determines the transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received, which is generally the contractual selling price. Since the IGUs are customized to meet the building-site specifications of the ultimate end customer and have no alternative use to the Company and the Company has contractually enforceable rights to proportionate payment of the transaction price for performance completed to date, the Company recognizes revenue over time as each IGU is manufactured using a cost-to-cost input method. Recognizing revenue using a cost-to-cost input method best depicts the Company’s performance in transferring control of the IGUs to the customer. The amount of work in process at the end of any financial reporting period has historically been insignificant.

The Company’s contracts to deliver CSS to the customer, typically LVEs or GCs, contain multiple performance obligations for each promise in the CSS arrangement. Each of the identified promises, including electrical connections schema, sky sensors, window controllers and control panels with embedded software, cables and connectors, and professional services to provide a system design and commission the installed products are capable of being distinct and each promise is separately identifiable in the context of the contract. This assessment requires management to make judgments about the individual promised good and service and whether each good and service is separable from the other goods and services in the contract.

The Company determines the transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received, which is generally the contractual selling price. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price. Management judgment is required in determining SSP for contracts that contain products and services for which revenue is recognized both over time and at a point in time, and where such revenue recognition transcends multiple
19

financial reporting periods due to the timing of delivery of such products and services. SSP is estimated based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.

The Company recognizes revenue allocated to each performance obligation at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the promised good or service to a customer. For the control panels and electrical components, transfer of control generally occurs at a point in time upon shipment or delivery of the product and revenue is recognized upon shipment. For the system design, transfer of control generally occurs upon customer acceptance and revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance. For the commissioning services, which has a relatively short period of time over which the services are provided, transfer of control generally occurs upon acceptance of the installed products by the end user and revenue is recognized upon customer acceptance. The allocation of transaction price for CSS contracts with performance obligations that cross multiple periods has not historically risen to a level that could have a material impact to reported revenues.
In limited circumstances, the Company contracts to provide extended or enhanced warranties of our products outside of the terms of its standard assurance warranty, which are recognized as revenue over the respective term of the respective extended or enhanced warranty period.
When the contract contains payment terms that are extended beyond one year or the Company enters into loan or financing arrangement in conjunction with the contract, a significant financing component may exist. In such cases, the Company adjusts the contract price at an amount that reflects the cash selling price. The Company uses a discount rate representing a borrowing rate had a separate financing transaction been entered between the two parties based on the customer’s creditworthiness.
Contracts for View Smart Building Technologies
The Company's Smart Building Technologies includes a suite of products that can be either integrated into the View Smart Building Platform, added-on to View Smart Glass contracts or sold separately. Our customers are typically the owners or tenants of buildings. Revenue generated from these products has not been material to date.

The Company considers shipping and handling activities as costs to fulfill the sales of products. Freight charged to customers is included in revenue when control of the product is transferred to the customer, and the related shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenue.
Taxes
Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on the Company’s revenue producing activities with customers, such as sales taxes and value added taxes, are excluded from revenue.
Contract Costs
As the Company incurs incremental costs of obtaining contracts, they are evaluated for recoverability using the expected consideration. The Company currently incurs significant losses on its offerings and as such incremental costs to obtain contracts are not recoverable and are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to employees and nonemployees based on the estimated fair value as of the grant date.
Awards with only service vesting conditions
The fair value of stock option awards with only service condition is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the input of assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock, the expected term of the stock option, the expected volatility of the price of the Company’s common stock, risk-free interest rates, and the

expected dividend yield of the Company’s common stock. These assumptions are subjective, generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop, and materially affect the fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. The Company recognizes the fair value of each stock award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards. Stock-based compensation expense is based on the value of the portion of stock-based awards that is ultimately expected to vest. As such, the Company’s stock-based compensation is reduced for the estimated forfeitures at the date of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. At Closing, as required by the Merger Agreement, the Company granted stock option awards to purchase 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain officers. See Note 10 for further information regarding these awards.
Awards with service vesting and market conditions
At Closing, as required by the Merger Agreement, the Company granted stock-based awards containing both service and market conditions, as follows: (i) a nonqualified stock option award to its CEO to purchase 25,000,000 shares of the Company common stock (“CEO Option Award”) and (ii) 12,500,000 RSUs to certain officers (“Officer RSUs”).
The estimated fair value of the CEO Option Award and Officer RSUs is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model and the effect of the market condition is reflected in the grant date fair value of the award. Monte Carlo simulations are a class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to compute their results. This approach allows the calculation of the value of such stock options based on a large number of possible stock price path scenarios. Compensation cost is recognized for each vesting tranche of an award with a market condition using the accelerated attribution method over the longer of the requisite service period and derived service period, irrespective of whether the market condition is satisfied. The derived service period is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model. If a recipient terminates employment before completion of the requisite service period, any compensation cost previously recognized is reversed unless the market condition has been satisfied prior to termination. If the market condition has been satisfied during the vesting period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost is accelerated. See Note 10 for further information regarding these awards.
Sponsor Earn-Out Liability
At Closing, the Sponsor subjected 4,970,000 shares (“Sponsor Earn-Out Shares”) to vesting and potential forfeiture (and related transfer restrictions) based on a five year post-Closing earnout, with (a) 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares being released if the stock price of the Company exceeds $12.50 for 5 out of any 10 trading days, (b) 25% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares being released if the stock price of the Company exceeds $15.00 for 5 out of any 10 trading days and (c) 25% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares being released if the stock price of the Company exceeds $20.00 for 5 out of any 10 trading days, in each case, subject to early release for a sale, change of control or going private transaction or delisting after the Closing (collectively, the “Earn-Out Triggering Events”).
These Sponsor Earn-Out Shares are accounted for as liability classified instruments because the Earn-Out Triggering Events that determine the number of Sponsor Earn-Out Shares to be earned back by the Sponsor include events that are not solely indexed to the common stock of the Company. The aggregate fair value of the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares on the Closing date was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model and was determined to be $26.4 million. As of September 30, 2021, the Earn-Out Triggering Events were not achieved for any of the tranches and as such the Company adjusted the carrying amount of the liability to its estimated fair value of $13.3 million. The change in the fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $12.8 million and $13.1 million, respectively, and is included in gain on fair value change, net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. See Note 5 for further information on fair value.
Public and Private Warrants
Prior to the Merger, CF II issued 366,666 private placement warrants (“Private Warrants”) and 16,666,637 public warrants (“Public Warrants” and collectively “Warrants”). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments. The Warrants became exercisable on August 26, 2021. The Public Warrants and Private Warrants will expire five years after the Closing and five years after August 26, 2020, respectively.

The Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants are transferable, assignable or salable after the completion of the Merger, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrant. See Note 9 for further information.
Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company concluded that (a) the Public Warrants meet the derivative scope exception for contracts in the Company’s own stock and are recorded in stockholders’ equity and (b) the Private Warrants do not meet the derivative scope exception and are accounted for as derivative liabilities. Specifically, the Private Warrants contain provisions that cause the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant which is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. Therefore, the Private Warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s stock and should be classified as a liability. Since the Private Warrants meet the definition of a derivative, the Company recorded the Private Warrants as liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value upon the Closing, with subsequent changes in the fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss at each reporting date. The fair value of the Private Warrants was measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model at each measurement date.
On the consummation of the Merger, the Company recorded a liability related to the Private Warrants of $0.6 million, included in Other Liabilities, with an offsetting entry to additional paid-in capital. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the Private Warrants were not material and recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss as part of Interest and other income (expense) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 5 for further information on fair value.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an entity where discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. All material long-lived assets are maintained in the United States. See “Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties” for further information on revenue by customer and Note 4 for further information on revenue by geography and categorized by products and services.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, primarily by eliminating certain exceptions to ASC 740. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company has adopted this standard as of the first quarter of 2021 and did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), which requires entities to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination as if the acquirer entered into the original contract at the same time and the same date as the acquiree. The amendment improves comparability after the business combination by providing consistent recognition and measurement guidance for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination and revenue contracts with customers not acquired in a business combination. This standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted this standard as of the third quarter of 2021 and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842), and has since issued several updates, amendments, and technical improvements to ASU 2016-2. The guidance requires recognition of lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases previously classified as operating. The standard also requires additional disclosures about

(Unaudited)



leasing arrangements related to discount rates, lease terms, and the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Topic 842 was originally effective for the Company's financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 as the Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards provided pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. As of September 30, 2021, the Company expects to lose its status as an emerging growth company by the end of the fiscal year and expects to adopt this guidance for the annual period beginning January 1, 2021 using the optional transition method. Under the optional transition method, the Company will adopt the standard in a period subsequent to that presented herein but will account for the standard from the beginning of the period presented upon adoption. The adoption of this guidance will result in recognition of ROU assets of approximately $23.7 million and lease liabilities of $28.8 million for our operating leases and ROU assets of $1.8 million and lease liabilities of $1.8 million for our finance leases at January 1, 2021.
In June 2016, FASB issued an ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326). The FASB also issued amendments and the initial ASU, and all updates are included herein as the Credit Losses standard or Topic 326.The new standard generally applies to financial assets and requires those assets to be reported at the amount expected to be realized. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of September 30, 2021, the Company expects to lose its status as an emerging growth company by the end of the fiscal year and expects to adopt this guidance for the annual period beginning January 1, 2021 using the optional transition method. Under the optional transition method, the Company will adopt the standard in a period subsequent to that presented herein but will account for the standard from the beginning of the period presented upon adoption. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued No. ASU 2020-6, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-6”). This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation in certain areas. ASU 2020-6 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating whether this guidance will have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt — Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options ("ASU No. 2021-04"). This ASU provides a principles-based framework for issuers to account for a modification or exchange of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after the modification or exchange based on the economic substance of the modification or exchange. The Company is required to apply the amendments within this ASU prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendment. ASU No. 2021-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures will depend on the facts and circumstances of any specific future transactions.
2.Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Background of the Restatement
As previously disclosed in August 2021, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) initiated an independent investigation concerning the adequacy of the Company’s previously presented warranty-related obligations (the “Investigation”), which has since been completed.

As a result of the Investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that (i) the Company’s previously reported liabilities associated with warranty-related obligations and the cost of revenue associated with the recognition of those liabilities were materially misstated, (ii) the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and certain former accounting staff negligently failed to properly

record the liabilities for warranty-related obligations and cost of revenue, and (iii) the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and certain former accounting staff intentionally failed to disclose certain information to the Company's Board of Directors and the independent auditors, regarding the applicable costs incurred and expected to be incurred in connection with the warranty-related obligations when replacing the IGUs. Specifically, the Company had inappropriately excluded from the warranty obligation the installation labor and freight costs that it had incurred, and expected to continue to incur, when replacing the IGUs. It was also determined that partially offsetting the misstatement which understated the warranty obligation was another misstatement resulting in an overestimate in the estimated failure rates of the impacted IGUs. As a result of these material misstatements, the Company’s warranty liabilities were understated by $25.0 million as of December 31, 2020 and the Company’s Cost of Revenue and Net Loss were overstated by $1.2 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as well as understated by $25.0 million for the periods prior to 2020, which has been corrected for as an adjustment to Accumulated Deficit as of December 31, 2019.

As a result of the Investigation, the Company has not previously filed its Q3 2021 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, the unaudited quarterly financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the nine months then ended have been previously presented in (i) the unaudited quarterly financial statements as of September 30, 2020 and for the nine months then ended within the Company's Form S-4 filed with the SEC on December 23, 2020 and as a part of (ii) the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and the year then ended within the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021. Accordingly, the Company is restating the accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 31, 2020. The Company has also restated its audited annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 in connection with the filing of its 2021 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 15, 2022, its unaudited quarterly financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the three months then ended in connection with the filing of its Q1 2021 Form 10-Q/A filed with the SEC on June 15, 2022 and its unaudited quarterly financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and for three and six months then ended in connection with the filing of its Q2 2021 Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on June 15, 2022.

In addition to restating for the warranty-related misstatements, the Company is also correcting for other immaterial misstatements in the accompanying financial statements, included within the Other Adjustments column of the tables below. Such adjustments include a $1.8 million understatement of Net Loss which originated in periods prior to 2020, as well as the following:

(a)the misstatement of depreciation expense for certain fixed assets;
(b)timing of the recognition of commissions expense due to contractual service requirements necessary to earn such commission;
(c)timing differences resulting from performance obligations associated with certain revenue contracts that were not initially identified and deferred over the period earned;
(d)the misstatement of liabilities associated with performance obligations promised to customers in connection with IGU failures; and    
(e)certain income statement and balance sheet misclassifications, as well as other immaterial misstatements.
Effect of the Restatement
The effects of the prior-period misstatements on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, Statements of Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows are reflected in the tables below (in thousands, except per share data). The As Previously Reported column within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets below include the retroactive application of the reverse capitalization as further discussed in Note 3 and as disclosed in previous filings. As it relates to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Stockholders’ Deficit, the impact of the restatement was to increase net loss and comprehensive loss as shown below, which had a corresponding impact on Accumulated Deficit. We have also restated impacted amounts within the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, as applicable.
