Common Stock Warrants

During the current fiscal year, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-11, "Earning Per Share (Topic 260): Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in Part I of this ASU change the classification analysis of certain equity-linked financial instruments (or embedded features) with down round features. The fair value of a financial instrument with a down round features is now permitted to be classified as a component of stockholder's equity, as opposed to a liability as it was previously required to be reported. In addition, the recorded fair value of the financial instruments is no longer required to be subsequently revalued. Should the down round feature of the financial instrument be triggered due to a change in the underlying strike price, the change in the fair value would be treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to common stockholders in accordance with the guidance of ASC-260.

Prior accounting treatment: In connection with issuing subordinated debt to finance its May 2, 2016 acquisition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 53,619 shares of Common Stock. These warrants contain certain pricing previsions which apply if the Company sells or issues Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at a price that is less than the exercise price of the warrants, over the life of the warrants, excluding certain exempt issuances. In addition, these warrants may only be exercised with cash. Accordingly, the Company recognized a liability for these warrants based on their fair value as of the date of grant. The initial warrant liability recognized on the related warrants totaled $177 thousand. At each subsequent quarter end, the Company then remeasured the fair value of the warrants, and recorded the change in the warrant liability as a component of net income. As of September 30, 2017, the warrant liability was valued at $306 thousand.

Current accounting treatment: The Company chose a modified retrospective adoption, and therefore, is recognizing the cumulative effect of the change as an adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. The warrant liability has been eliminated from the Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2018. The fair value of the warrant liability has been reduced by $306 thousand by reclassifying this liability to retained earnings and additional paid in capital by $129 thousand and $177 thousand, respectively.
