ViewRay Technologies, Inc. has had the right to affix the CE mark to MRIdian with Cobalt-60 in the European Economic Area since November 2014. In September 2016, the Company received the rights to affix the Conformité Européene, or CE, mark to MRIdian Linac, and in February 2017, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market MRIdian Linac.

The Company is allowed to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify the requirements of Topic 820.~~within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in September 2017 within ASU 2017-13, in January 2018 within ASU 2018-01, in July 2018 within ASU 2018-10 and ASU 2018-11, and in March 2019 within ASU 2019-01 (collectively, Topic 842). Topic 842 supersedes Topic 840, Leases, and requires lessees to recognize on their balance sheets all leases, with the exception of short-term leases, as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability measured at the present value of the lease payments. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard requires expanded disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. Effective January 1, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company adopted ~~Topic 842 using a modified retrospective transition approach by applying~~FASB ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820). Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The standard eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new ~~standard to all leases existing at~~information, and modifies some disclosure requirements. As the ~~date~~result of ~~initial application and not restating comparative periods. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment recorded to retained deficit upon adoption.~~

~~Topic 842 provides several optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected to use~~ the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company not to reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to January 1, 2019. The Company did not elect to use the other practical expedients provided.

~~Upon~~ adoption the Company ~~recognized~~is no longer required to disclose (1) the ~~right-of-use assets~~amount of and ~~operating lease liabilities totaling approximately $11.9 million~~the reasons for transfers between Level 1 and $12.6 million, respectively, to reflect the present value of remaining lease payments under existing lease arrangements with no impact to the opening balance of retained deficit as a result of adoption. The difference between the leased assets and lease liabilities represents the existing deferred rent liabilities balance, resulting from historical straight-lining of operating leases, which was effectively reclassified upon adoption to reduce the measurementLevel 2 of the ~~leased assets.~~

~~In determining~~fair value hierarchy, (2) the ~~present~~policy for timing of transfers between levels, and (3) the valuation process for Level 3 fair value ~~of lease payments,~~measurements. Additionally, the Company ~~uses~~is required to disclose (1) the ~~rate implicit~~changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (2) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. No significant changes were made to our fair value disclosures in the ~~lease or when such rate is not readily available, we utilize our incremental borrowing rate based on~~notes to the information available at the lease commencement date. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. In determining the expected lease term, the Company may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise any such option. For more information on the impact of adoption and the disclosures required by the new standard, refer to Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies.

~~In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07,~~ ~~Compensation~~—~~Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements toNonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting~~, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements ~~and related disclosures.~~

in order to comply with ASU 2018-13. Refer to Note 4, Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:

Level 1—~~Quoted~~Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices ~~in active markets~~ for identical assets or ~~liabilities.~~liabilities traded in active markets.

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or ~~indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets~~indirectly.

Level 3—Inputs that are ~~not active; or other~~generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that ~~are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term~~result in management’s best estimate of ~~the assets or liabilities.~~

~~Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the~~ fair ~~value of the assets or liabilities.~~value.

The assets’ or liabilities’ fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company’s financial instruments that are carried at fair value mainly consist of Level 1 assets and Level 3 liabilities. Level 1 assets include highly liquid bank deposits and money market funds, which were not material at March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. Level 3 liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis relate to the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants, as described in Note 9. Placement warrant liabilities are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Generally, increases (decreases) in the fair value of the underlying stock, volatility and estimated term would result in a directionally similar impact to the fair value of the warrants (see Note 9). During the three months ended March 31, 2020, no warrants were exercised. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, warrants to purchase 21,571 shares of common stock were exercised and the aggregate fair value upon exercise of $0.1 million was reclassified from liabilities to additional paid-in-capital.

The gains and losses from re-measurement of Level 3 financial liabilities are recorded as part of other income (expense) ~~income,~~, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, the Company recorded a ~~loss~~gain of ~~$3.0~~$2.9 million and a ~~gain~~loss of ~~$8.2~~$3.1 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in any periods presented.

The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

In December 2018, the Company entered into a term loan agreement, or the SVB Term Loan, with Silicon Valley Bank, for a principal amount of $56.0 million. The SVB Term Loan has a maturity date of December 1, 2023 and bears interest at a rate of 6.30% per annum to be paid monthly over the term of the loan. Beginning on December 1, 2020 (or June 1, 2021, if the Company achieves a trailing twelve-month revenue of at least a specified amount and elects to apply such later date), the Company will make thirty-six equal monthly payments of principal (or thirty equal payments, if the Company so elects). In addition, upon repayment of the SVB Term Loan in full, the Company will make a final payment equal to 3.15% of the original aggregate principal amount of the SVB Term Loan.

The Company used the proceeds of the SVB Term Loan and cash on hand to repay in full its outstanding obligations under its then outstanding term loan, or the CRG Term Loan, and to pay fees and expenses related thereto. The Company accounted for the termination of the CRG Term Loan as a debt extinguishment and recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $2.4 million from the

difference between the net carrying amount of debt and the amount paid. The debt extinguishment loss includes $0.3 million in ~~write-off~~write-offs of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with the CRG Term Loan.

The Company received net proceeds ~~from the SVB Term Loan~~ of $55.4 million after related legal and consulting fees totaling $0.6 million. Such fees are accounted for as debt discount and issuance costs and presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Debt discount, issuance costs and the final payment are amortized or accreted as interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

The SVB Term Loan requires that the Company maintain a minimum cash balance in accounts at Silicon Valley Bank or one of its affiliates or else comply with a liquidity ratio and/or a minimum revenue financial covenant. On December 31, 2019, we entered into the First Amendment (the Amendment) to the SVB Term Loan. The Amendment, among other things, amended the SVB Term Loan to (i) suspend testing of the minimum revenue financial covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, (ii) provide for the minimum trailing twelve-month revenue thresholds under the minimum revenue financial covenant for periods ending on the last day of fiscal quarters in fiscal years subsequent to 2020 to be determined annually at the greater of (a) a 25% cushion to revenue forecasts provided by the Company to SVB and (b) 10% year-over-year annual growth, unless otherwise agreed, (iii) increase the minimum liquidity ratio financial covenant from 1.50:1.00 to 1.75:1.00 and (iv) increase the prepayment premium from 1.00% to 2.00% for amounts prepaid under the SVB Term Loan prior to the maturity date thereof, subject to certain exceptions.

The SVB Term Loan is secured by substantially all assets of the Company, except that the collateral does not include any intellectual property held by the Company, provided, however, the collateral shall include all accounts and proceeds of such intellectual property.

The SVB Term Loan contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, dividends and other distributions and transactions with affiliates. The SVB Term Loan also contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum cash balance in accounts maintained at Silicon Valley Bank or one of its affiliates or else comply with a liquidity ratio and/or a minimum revenue target.

The SVB Term Loan includes standard events of default, including, among other things, subject in certain cases to customary grace periods, thresholds and notice requirements, the Company’s failure to fulfill its obligations under the SVB Term Loan or the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company's business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise). In the event of default by the Company under the SVB Term Loan, Silicon Valley Bank would be entitled to exercise its remedies thereunder, including the right to accelerate the debt, upon which the Company may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under the SVB Term Loan, which could harm the Company's financial condition.

The Company’s scheduled future payments on the SVB Term Loan at March 31, ~~2019~~2020 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company leases office space in Oakwood Village, Ohio, ~~and~~ Mountain View, California and Denver, Colorado under noncancelable operating lease agreements. The Company leases and occupies approximately 19,800 square feet of office space in Oakwood Village, Ohio, which expires in ~~October 2019. In April 2019, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the term of the lease agreement through~~ October 2021.

In June 2014, the Company entered into an office lease agreement to lease approximately 25,500 square feet of office space located in Mountain View, California, ~~which expires in~~with an original expiration date of November 2019. In June 2018, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the term of the lease agreement through July 2025.

In April 2018, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease approximately 24,600 square feet of additional office space located in Mountain View, California. The lease commenced in December 2018 and will expire in December 2025. The Company has the option to extend the term of the lease for a period of up to five years.

In May 2019, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement to lease approximately 19,800 square feet of office space located in Denver, Colorado. The sub-lease commenced in June 2019 and will expire in May 2021.

In recognition of the right-of-use assets and the related lease liabilities, ~~with the exception of the Oakwood Village, Ohio lease,~~ the options to extend the lease term have not been included as the Company is not reasonably certain that it will exercise any such option. At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term in years is ~~6.4~~5.1 years and the weighted-average discount rate used is 7.7%.

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability for legal proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. ~~At March 31,~~

On September 10, 2019, ~~and December 31, 2018,~~a complaint for patent infringement was filed by Varian Medical Systems, Inc., in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company. Captioned Varian Medical Systems, Inc., v. ViewRay, Inc., the complaint alleges that the Company infringes two related patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 8,637,841 (the “’841 Patent”) and 9,082,520 (the “’520 Patent”) and seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages. The Company filed its answer on November 1, 2019. The matter is presently in discovery. The Company believes the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the litigation.

On September 13, 2019, a class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws was ~~not involved~~filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against the Company, its chief executive officer, chief scientific officer and former chief financial officer. On December 19, 2019, the court appointed Plymouth County Retirement Association as the lead plaintiff and on February 28, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting securities fraud claims against ViewRay, our chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief scientific officer, and our former chief executive officer and former chief financial officer. Now captioned Plymouth County Retirement Assoc. v. ViewRay, Inc., et al, the amended complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of the Company’s common stock between March 10, 2018 until January 13, 2020, alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements that failed to disclose adverse facts concerning the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and seeks damages, interest, and other relief. The Company believes the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the litigation.

Given the early stage of each of the litigation matters described above, at this time we are unable to reasonably estimate possible losses or form a judgment that an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and one or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against us could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved and on our business generally. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, lawsuits and legal ~~proceedings.~~proceedings are costly, divert management attention and may materially adversely affect our reputation, even if resolved in our favor.

At March 31, ~~2019~~2020, the Company had ~~$7.3~~$2.7 million in outstanding firm purchase commitments.

The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of MRIdian systems and related services as well as support and maintenance services on sold systems. Revenue is categorized as product revenue, service revenue and distribution rights revenue.

The following table presents revenue disaggregated by type and geography (in thousands):

The Company frequently enters into sales arrangements that include multiple performance obligations. Such performance obligations mainly consist of (i) sale of MRIdian systems, which generally includes installation and embedded software, and (ii) product support, which includes extended service and maintenance. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price, or SSP, is determined based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products and services. If an SSP is not directly observable, the Company will estimate the SSP considering market conditions or internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

Product revenue is derived primarily from the sales of MRIdian systems. The system contains both software and non-software components that together deliver essential functionality.

For contracts in which control of the system transfers upon delivery and inspection, the Company recognizes revenue for the systems at the point in time when delivery and inspection by the customer has occurred. For these same contracts, the Company recognizes installation revenue over the period of installation as the installation services are performed and control is transferred to the customer. For all contracts in which control transfers upon post-installation customer acceptance, revenue for the system and installation are recognized upon customer acceptance.

Certain customer contracts with distributors do not require ViewRay to complete installation at the ultimate user site, and the distributors may either perform the installation themselves or hire another party to perform the installation. For sales of MRIdian systems for which the Company is not responsible for installation, revenue recognition generally occurs when the entire system is shipped, which is when the control of the system is transferred to the customer.

Service revenue is derived primarily from maintenance services. The maintenance and support service is a stand-ready obligation which is performed over the term of the arrangement and, as a result, service revenue is recognized ratably over the service period as the customers benefit from the service throughout the service period.

In ~~connection with~~December 2014, the Company entered into a distribution agreement ~~entered into in December 2014, between the Company and~~with Itochu Corporation orpursuant to which it appointed Itochu ~~the Company received a distribution fee of $4.0 million in three installments from Itochu for serving~~ as ~~the Company’s~~its exclusive distributor for the promotion, sale and delivery of its MRIdian ~~systems~~products within Japan. In consideration of the exclusive distribution rights granted, the Company received $4.0 million, which was recorded as deferred revenue. Starting in August 2016, the ~~Company started recognizing~~ distribution rights revenue is recognized ratably over the remaining term of the ~~exclusive~~ distribution agreement of approximately 8.5 years. A time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because control is transferred evenly over the remaining contractual period.~~The distribution rights revenue was $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.~~

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in short-term and long-term trade receivables, customer deposits, deferred revenues and deferred cost of revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Trade receivables are recorded at the original invoiced amount, net of an estimated allowance for ~~doubtful accounts.~~credit losses. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis. The Company occasionally provides for long-term trade credit for its maintenance services so that the period between when the services are rendered to its customers and when the customers pay for that service is within one year. Thus, the Company’s trade receivables do not bear interest or contain a significant financing component. Long-term trade receivables of ~~$0.4~~$0.3 million and $0.2 million were reported within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and at December 31, ~~2018.~~2019, respectively. These amounts are billed in accordance with the terms of the customer contracts to which they relate and are expected to be collected ~~three~~two to ~~four~~three years from the date of invoice as the underlying maintenance services are rendered. At times, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in an unbilled receivable which represents a contract asset. This contract asset is recorded as an unbilled receivable and reported as part of accounts receivable on the ~~condensed~~ consolidated balance sheets.

Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history of the respective customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability of trade receivables are included in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the estimated allowance for ~~doubtful accounts.~~credit losses. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables. There ~~was~~were no ~~allowance~~estimated allowances for ~~doubtful accounts~~credit losses recorded at March 31, ~~2019~~2020 or December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Customer deposits represent payments received in advance of system installation. For domestic and international sales, advance payments received prior to inventory shipments ~~and customer acceptance~~ are recorded as customer deposits. Advance payments are subsequently reclassified to deferred revenue upon inventory ~~shipment when the title and risk of loss of inventory items transfer to customers.~~shipment. All customer deposits, including those that are expected to be a deposit for more than one year, are classified as current liabilities based on consideration of the Company’s normal operating cycle (the time between acquisition of the inventory components and the final cash collection from customers on these inventory components) which is in excess of one year.

Deferred revenue consists of deferred product revenue and deferred service revenue. Deferred product revenue arises from timing differences between the fulfillment of contract obligations and satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Deferred service revenue results from the advance billing for services to be delivered over a period of time. Deferred revenues expected to be realized within one year or normal operating cycle are classified as current liabilities.

Deferred cost of revenue consists of cost for inventory items that have been shipped, ~~with title and risk of loss transferred to the customer,~~ but ~~the customer acceptance~~revenue recognition has not yet ~~been received.~~occurred. Deferred cost of revenue is included as part of current assets as the corresponding deferred product revenue is expected to be realized within one year or the Company’s normal operating cycle.

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company recognized ~~$7.9~~$3.3 million of ~~revenue~~revenues that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the reporting period. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company recognized ~~$22.2~~$7.9 million of ~~revenue~~revenues that ~~was~~were included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the ~~2018~~ reporting period.

The Company records revenue from customers in an amount that reflects the transaction price it expects to be entitled to after transferring control of those goods or services. The Company estimates the transaction price at contract inception, including any variable consideration, and updates the estimate each reporting period for any changes. There were no amounts recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from performance obligations satisfied in the prior period. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $0.9 million in revenue from performance obligations satisfied in the prior period. ~~The cumulative catch-up adjustment resulted from a change in transaction price related to variable consideration that was constrained in prior periods.~~

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted to employees was ~~$4.78~~$1.46 and ~~$4.75~~$4.78 per share during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. The grant date fair ~~value~~values of options vested was ~~$1.2~~$3.0 million and ~~$1.1~~$1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. The aggregate intrinsic ~~value~~values of options exercised was ~~$1.9~~$0.0 million and ~~$1.6~~$1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options granted to employees, net of estimated forfeitures, was ~~$34.1~~$21.9 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of ~~3.2~~2.5 years.

The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The variables used to calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, expected price volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.

The fair value of employee stock ~~option~~options is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018		2020		2019
Expected term (in years)		6.0		5.9		6.1		6.0

From time to time, the Company grants Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs, to its board of directors and certain employees for their services. ~~These~~Certain board members elected RSUs ~~are either fully vested upon issuance or~~in lieu of retainer and committee service fees, which vest over a period of time from the grant date and will be released and settled upon termination of the board member’s services or the occurrence of a change in control event. In January ~~2019,~~2020, the Company granted RSUs to its Board of Directors as part of the director compensation program. These RSUs granted to board members vest in full on the date of our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In ~~March 2019,~~January 2020, the Company granted RSUs to the Company’s CEO that vest annually at 42% on the first anniversary date of the grant, and 29% on the second and third anniversary date of the grant. In January and March of 2020, the Company granted RSUs to several employees. These RSUs vest in equal annual installments over three years from the grant date and are subject to the participants continuing service to the Company over that period. The fair value of RSUs is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

The total grant date fair value of RSUs awarded was $12.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The total fair value of RSUs vested was $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The total grant date fair value of RSUs awarded was $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The total fair value of RSUs vested was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. ~~There were no RSUs awarded or vested in the three months ended March 31, 2018.~~

As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to RSUs was ~~$16.2~~$25.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. ~~As of~~At March 31, ~~2019, 2,191,333 shares of~~2020, we expect 7,546,191 RSUs ~~are expected~~ to vest.

Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss is classified as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019				Three Months Ended March 31,

~~During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there was no stock-based compensation expense capitalized as a component of inventory or recognized in cost of revenue.~~ Stock-based compensation relating to stock-based awards granted to consultants was insignificant during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018.~~2019.

Due to the current operating losses, the Company recorded zero income tax expense during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. During these periods, the Company’s activities were limited to U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions, as it does not have any significant foreign operations. The federal and state effective tax rate before valuation allowance is approximately 24% for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

Due to the Company’s history of cumulative losses and after considering all the available objective evidence, management concluded that it is not more likely than not that all of the Company’s net deferred tax assets will be ~~realized.~~realized in the future. Accordingly, the Company’s deferred tax assets, which ~~includes~~include net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards and tax credits related primarily to research and development, continue to be subject to a valuation allowance as of March 31, ~~2019.~~2020. The Company expects to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until there is sufficient evidence to support recoverability of its deferred tax assets.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of ~~$2.1~~$2.6 million and ~~$1.6~~$2.2 million at March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, respectively. The reversal of the uncertain tax benefits would not affect the effective tax rate to the extent that the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Unrecognized tax benefits may change during the next 12 months for items that arise in the ordinary course of business.

Interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters are recognized as a component of income tax expense. At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, there were no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net loss per common share for all periods presented, because the inclusion of all potential common shares outstanding would have an anti-dilutive effect. The following weighted-average common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented, because including them would have an anti-dilutive effect:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Annual Report filed with the SEC on March ~~15, 2019.~~12, 2020. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including those under “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and the Annual Report that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this section to “ViewRay,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “the Company” refer to ViewRay, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiary, ViewRay Technologies, Inc.

As a result of the merger of the Company and ViewRay Technologies, Inc. in July 2015, or the Merger, and the change in business and operations of the Company, a discussion of the past financial results of the Company is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles the historical financial results of ViewRay Technologies, Inc., the accounting acquirer, prior to the Merger are considered the historical financial results of the Company.

The following discussion highlights ~~ViewRay’s~~our results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on ~~ViewRay’s~~our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto.

We design, manufacture and market the ViewRay MRIdian®. The MRIdian is an innovative system that integrates high quality radiation therapy with simultaneous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). There are two generations of the MRIdian: the first generation MRIdian with Cobalt-60 based radiation beams and the second generation MRIdian Linac, with more advanced linear accelerator or ‘linac’ based radiation beams.

The MRIdian combines MRI and external-beam radiation therapy to simultaneously image and treat cancer patients. MRI is a broadly used imaging tool that has the ability to clearly differentiate between types of soft tissue. In contrast, X-ray or computed tomography (CT), the most commonly used imaging technologies in radiation therapy today, are often unable to distinguish soft tissues such as the tumor and critical organs. MRIdian integrates MRI technology, radiation delivery and our proprietary software to clearly See the soft tissues, Shape the dose to accommodate for changes in anatomy and Strike the target precisely using real-time targeting throughout the treatment. The MRIdian system is Sized to fit into standard radiation therapy vaults without having to remove ceiling or walls. These capabilities allow MRIdian to deliver radiation to the tumor accurately, while reducing the radiation amount delivered to nearby healthy tissue, as compared to other radiation therapy treatments currently available. We believe this will lead to improved patient outcomes and reduced treatment-related side effects.

Both generations of the MRIdian have received 510(k) marketing clearance from the ~~US Food and Drug Administration, or~~ FDA and permission to affix the ~~Conformité Européene, or~~ CE mark.

MRIdian is the first radiation therapy solution that enables simultaneous radiation treatment delivery and real-time MRI imaging of a patient’s internal anatomy. It generates high-quality images that differentiate between the targeted tumor, surrounding soft tissue and nearby critical organs. MRIdian also records the level of radiation dose that the treatment area has received, enabling physicians to adapt the prescription between treatments, as needed. We believe this improved visualization and accurate dose recording will enable better treatment, improve patient outcomes and reduce side effects. Key benefits to users and patients include: improved imaging and patient alignment; the ability to adapt the patient’s radiation treatments to changes while the patient is still on the treatment table, or “on-table adaptive treatment planning”; MRI-based motion management; and an accurate recording of the delivered radiation dose. Physicians have already used MRIdian to treat a broad spectrum of radiation therapy patients with more than 45 different types of cancer, as well as patients for whom radiation therapy was previously not an option.

At March 31, ~~2019, we had six~~2020, four MRIdian with Cobalt-60 systems and 2532 MRIdian Linac systems are in operation at 2434 customers worldwide ~~(10~~(15 in the United States and 1419 outside the United States). In addition, seven MRIdian Linacs have been delivered to customers that are in varying stages of deployment.

We currently market MRIdian through a direct sales force in North America. In the rest of the world, we market MRIdian through a hybrid model of both a direct sales force and distribution network. We market MRIdian to a broad range of worldwide customers, including university research and teaching hospitals, community hospitals, private practices, government institutions and freestanding cancer centers. As with the traditional linac market, our sales and revenue ~~cycle~~cycles vary based on the particular customer and can be lengthy, sometimes lasting up to 18 to 24 months (or more) from initial customer contact to order contract execution. Following execution of ~~a sales~~an order contract, it generally takes nine to 15 months for a customer to customize an existing facility or construct a new vault. Upon the commencement of installation at a customer’s facility, it typically takes approximately 6050 to 90 days for us to install MRIdian and perform on-site testing of the system, including the completion of acceptance test ~~procedures~~.procedures.

We generated total revenue of ~~$20.3~~$14.3 million and ~~$26.2~~$20.3 million, and had net losses of ~~$33.4~~$27.5 million and ~~$4.8~~$33.4 million, during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, respectively.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. We expect our expenses will increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, as we:

Accordingly, we may seek to fund our operations through public or private equity, debt financings or other sources. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements as and when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to develop enhancements to and integrate new technologies into MR Image-Guided radiation therapy systems.

The coronavirus pandemic, the likely resulting recession and its follow-on effects has impacted and will likely continue to impact business activity across industries worldwide, including ViewRay.

Due to pandemic-related factors like the delays in service from our global supply chain partners and restrictions imposed by government agencies and our customers in response to the spread of coronavirus, we have experienced delays in installation of systems in Asia and Europe. Similarly, our ability to conduct commercial efforts with our customers have been and are likely to continue to be disrupted as customers have suspended in-person sales calls and turned their focus to dealing with the impact of the coronavirus on their operations. Should the impact of coronavirus result in a global recession, our ability to conduct our business and to access capital markets could be materially impacted; and capital equipment sales, which make up the majority of our revenue, may take longer than other areas of the economy in a recovery, which may have a material impact on our business. The coronavirus pandemic continues to develop rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.

New orders are defined as the sum of gross product orders, representing MRIdian contract price, recorded in backlog during the period. Backlog is the accumulation of all orders for which revenue has not been recognized and which we consider valid. Backlog includes customer deposits or letters of credit, except when the sale is to a customer where a deposit is not deemed necessary or customary. Deposits received are recorded in a customer deposit liability account on the balance sheet. Orders may be revised or cancelled according to their terms or upon mutual agreement between the parties. Therefore, it is difficult to predict with certainty the amount of backlog that will ultimately result in revenue. The determination of backlog includes objective and subjective judgment about the likelihood of an order contract becoming revenue. We perform a quarterly review of backlog to verify that outstanding orders in backlog remain valid, and based upon this review, orders that are no longer expected to result in revenue are removed from backlog. Among other criteria to consider for a transaction to be in backlog, we must possess both an outstanding and effective written agreement for the delivery of a MRIdian signed by a customer with a minimum customer deposit or a letter of credit requirement except when the sale is to a customer where a deposit is not deemed necessary or customary (i.e. sale to a government entity, a large hospital, group of hospitals or cancer care group that has sufficient credit, sales via tender awards, or indirect channel sales that have signed contracts with end-customers). We decide whether to remove or add back an order from or to our backlog by evaluating the following criteria: changes in customer or distributor plans or financial conditions; the customer’s or distributor’s continued intent and ability to fulfill the order contract; changes to regulatory requirements; the status of regulatory approval required in the customer’s jurisdiction, if any; the length of time the order has been on our backlog; and other reasons for potential cancellation of order contracts.

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we received four new orders for MRIdian systems, totaling ~~$42.8~~$22.6 million. At March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, we had total backlog of ~~$237.5~~$230.8 million.

Product Revenue. Product revenue consists of revenue recognized from sales of MRIdian systems, as well as optional components, such as additional planning workstations and body coils.

Following execution of an order contract, it generally takes nine to 15 months for a customer to customize an existing facility or construct a new vault for the purchased system. Upon the commencement of installation at a customer’s facility, it typically takes approximately 6050 to 90 days to complete the installation and on-site testing of the system, including the completion of ~~acceptance~~customer test procedures. On-site training ~~takes approximately one week~~can take up to multiple weeks and can be conducted concurrently with installation and acceptance testing. Order contracts generally include customer deposits upon execution of the agreement, and in certain cases, additional amounts due at shipment or commencement of installation, and final payment due generally upon customer acceptance.

~~Revenue recognition~~Beginning in the second quarter of 2019, for ~~MRIdian systems that we install generally occurs when the customer acknowledges that the system operates~~new contracts in ~~accordance with standard product specifications, the customer accepts the installed unit and the~~which control of the system ~~is transferred~~transfers upon delivery and inspection, the Company recognizes revenue for the system at the point in time when delivery and inspection has occurred. For these same contracts, the Company recognizes installation revenue over a period of time as control of the installation services are transferred. For all contracts in which control continues to transfer upon post-installation customer acceptance, revenue for the ~~customer.~~system and installation will continue to be recognized upon customer acceptance. For sales of MRIdian systems for which we are not responsible for installation, revenue is recognized when the entire system is delivered, which is when the control of the system is transferred to the customer.

Service Revenue. Our contracts typically include service warranty at no additional costs for one year. In addition, we offer multi-year, post-installation maintenance and support contracts that provide various levels of service support, which enables our customers to select the level of on-going support services, including parts and labor, which they require. These post-installation contracts are for a period of one to five years and provide services ranging from on-site parts and labor, and preventative maintenance to labor only with a longer response time. We also offer technology upgrades to our MRIdian systems, when and if available, for an additional fee. Service revenue is recognized ratably over the term during which the contracted services are provided.

Distribution Rights Revenue. In December 2014, we entered into a distribution agreement with Itochu Corporation, or Itochu, pursuant to which we appointed Itochu as our exclusive distributor for the promotion, sale and delivery of MRIdian products within Japan. As consideration for the exclusive distribution rights granted, we received $4.0 million, which was recorded as deferred revenue and since August 2016, distribution rights revenue has been recognized ratably over the remaining term of the distribution agreement, which expires in December 2024. A time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because the control is transferred evenly over the contractual period.

Product Cost of Revenue. Product cost of revenue primarily consists of the cost of materials, installation and services associated with the manufacturing and installation of MRIdian systems, and royalty payments to the University of Florida Research Foundation. Product cost of revenue also includes lower of cost or net realizable value inventory, or LCNRV, adjustments if the carrying value of the inventory is greater than its net realizable value. There was no LCNRV charge for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018.~~2019.

We expect our materials, installation and service costs to decrease as we continue to scale our operations, improve product designs and work with our third-party suppliers to lower costs. We expect to continue to lower costs and increase sales prices as we transition to MRIdian Linac.

Service Cost of Revenue. Service cost of revenue is comprised primarily of personnel costs, training and travel expenses to service and perform maintenance on installed MRIdian systems. Service cost of revenue also includes the costs of replacement parts under maintenance and support contracts.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation, employee benefits and travel expenses. Other significant research and development costs arise from third-party consulting services, laboratory supplies, research materials, medical equipment, computer equipment and licensed technology, and related depreciation and amortization. We expense research and development costs as incurred. As we continue to invest in improving MRIdian and developing new technologies, we expect our research and development expenses to increase.

Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for our direct sales force, sales management, and marketing and customer support personnel, and include stock-based compensation, employee benefits and travel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses also include costs related to trade shows and marketing programs. We expense selling and marketing costs as incurred. We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase in future periods as we expand our sales force and our marketing and customer support organizations and increase our participation in trade shows and marketing programs.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related costs for our operations, finance, human resources, regulatory, and other administrative personnel, and include stock-based compensation, employee benefits and travel expenses. In addition, general and administrative expenses include third-party consulting, legal, audit, accounting services, quality and regulatory functions and facilities costs, and gain or loss on the disposal of property and equipment. We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase as our business grows and as we invest in the development of our MRIdian Linac.

Interest income consists primarily of interest income received on our cash and cash equivalents.

Interest expense consists primarily of interest and amortization related to our SVB Term Loan.

Other income (expense), net consists primarily of changes in the fair value of the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants and foreign currency exchange gains and losses.

The outstanding 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants are re-measured to fair value at each balance sheet date with the corresponding gain or loss from the adjustment recorded as a component of other income (expense), net.

Total revenue during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 decreased by ~~$5.9~~$6.0 million compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The decrease was primarily due to a ~~$6.5~~$7.4 million decrease in product revenue ~~partially~~and offset by a ~~$0.6~~$1.4 million increase in service revenue during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Product Revenue. Product revenue decreased by ~~$6.5~~$7.4 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2018.~~2019. The decrease was primarily due to the revenue recognized ~~during the three months ended March 31, 2019~~ on one fewer MRIdian Linac system in the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized $0.9 million in revenue from performance obligations satisfied in 2018.

Service Revenue. Service revenue increased by ~~$0.6~~$1.4 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019 primarily due to the increase in installed base.

Distribution Rights Revenue. Distribution rights revenue remained flat, as expected based on the ratable recognition of revenue over the term of this agreement, during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

Product cost of revenue ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$2.3~~$8.9 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2018~~2019. ~~Total~~The decrease was attributable to one fewer MRIdian Linac system recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. In addition, total cost of revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was impacted by approximately $7.0 million of charges, primarily driven by higher than anticipated installation costs related to historical upgrade commitments. The $7.0 million includes $5.6 million of one-time charges and $1.4 million of expenses.~~This increase was partially offset by cost of revenue recognized on one fewer MRIdian Linac system in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.~~

Service Cost of Revenue. Service cost of revenue increased by ~~$2.7~~$0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to ~~timing of services and~~the increase in installed ~~base~~based for the three months ended March 31, ~~2019, as well as increased headcount of field service engineers.~~2020.

Since our inception in 2004, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~2018,~~2019, we had net losses of ~~$33.4~~$27.5 million and ~~$4.8~~$33.4 million, respectively. At March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, we had an accumulated deficit of ~~$432.3~~$546.7 million and ~~$399.0~~$519.2 million, respectively.

At March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018,~~2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of ~~$145.8~~$190.2 million and ~~$167.4~~$226.8 million, respectively. To date, we have financed our operations principally through offerings of our capital stock, issuances of warrants, issuances of convertible promissory notes, use of term loans and receipts of customer deposits for new orders and payments from customers for systems installed and delivered. We may, from time to time, seek to raise capital through a variety of sources, including the public equity market, private equity financing, and public or private debt. In March 2018, we issued common stock, Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase common stock in the March 2018 Direct Registered Offering for gross proceeds of $59.1 million. In May 2018, we raised additional aggregate gross proceeds of $0.3 million through our at-the-market offering program under which we sold 33,097 shares of our common stock at an average sale price of $8.41 per share. In August 2018,December 2019, we raised aggregate gross proceeds of ~~$172.5~~$149.6 million via a public offering, in which we sold approximately ~~18.6~~47.8 million shares of our common stock at a price of ~~$9.25~~$3.13 per share. ~~In December 2018, we entered into SVB Term Loan for a principal amount of $56.0 million.~~ We ~~used the proceeds from the SVB Term Loan and cash on hand to repay in full our obligations under the outstanding CRG Term Loan.~~ We

expect that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with proceeds from the sales of MRIdian systems, will enable us to conduct our planned operations for at least the next 12 months.

However, the coronavirus pandemic and the likely resulting recession and its follow-on effects are impacting and will likely continue to impact our business activities. For further discussion, see the section titled “Impact of the Coronavirus Disease” included above. We have initiated a contingency plan with the goal to reduce our cash usage by approximately $30 million during the remainder of 2020, largely through reductions in operating expense, working capital and company-wide salary reductions.

In January 2019, we filed a registration statement with the SEC which covers the offering, issuance and sale of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $250.0 million of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and/or units, including up to $100.0 million of our common shares pursuant to our at-the-market offering program with FBR. The shares in the December 2019 Public Offering of Common stock were sold pursuant to the January 2019 registration statement and did not impact the $100.0 million of our common shares pursuant to our at-the-market offering program with FBR.

We could potentially use our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect, and we may incur additional indebtedness to meet future operating needs. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, although we anticipate being able to obtain additional financing, we may be unable to do so. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have significant negative consequences for our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018			2020			2019
Cash used in operating activities	$	(23,653	)	$	(37,454	)	$	(34,999	)	$	(23,653	)
Cash used in investing activities	$	(1,249	)	$	(497	)	$	(451	)	$	(1,249	)
Cash provided by financing activities	$	2,716		$	59,478
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities							$	(669	)	$	2,716

We have historically experienced cash outflows as we developed MRIdian with Cobalt-60 and MRIdian Linac and expanded our business. Our primary source of cash flow from operating activities is cash receipts from customers including sales of MRIdian systems and, to a lesser extent, up-front payments from customers. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are amounts due to vendors for purchased components and employee-related expenditures.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, cash used in operating activities was $35.0 million, resulting from our net loss of $27.5 million, a $10.5 million net decrease in our operating assets and liabilities, and offset by aggregate non-cash charges of $3.0 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash used in operating activities was $23.7 million, as a result of our net loss of $33.4 million, a $4.7 million net change in our operating assets and ~~the~~liabilities, and offset by aggregate non-cash charges of $14.4 million. ~~Our~~

Cash used in ~~fair value of the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants, $5.6 million~~investing activities for ~~historical upgrade commitments and $0.1 million of amortization of debt discount and interest accrual related to the SVB Term Loan.~~

~~During~~ the three months ended March 31, ~~2018, cash used in operating activities was $37.5 million, as a result~~2020 and 2019 of ~~our net loss of $4.8~~$0.5 million and a $27.2 million net change in our operating assets and liabilities and aggregate non-cash charges of $5.5 million. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of a change in customer deposits and deferred revenue, inventory, accounts receivable and deposits on purchased inventory, which was partially offset by a change in deferred cost of revenue and accounts payable. Inventory and deposits on purchased inventory increased $12.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in anticipation of upcoming shipments and installations of MRIdian systems. Customer deposits and deferred revenue decreased $18.6 million as a result of revenue recognized for the four units of MRIdian system sales and one unit of system upgrade in the first three months of 2018. Accounts receivable increased $5.8 million resulting from the timing of collection. The net change in our operating assets and liabilities was partially offset by a $9.1 million decrease in deferred cost of revenue mainly due to the revenue recognized for the four units of MRIdian system sales and one unit of system upgrade in the first three months of 2018 and $2.1 million increase in accounts payable resulting from the timing of payments. Non-cash charges included a $8.2 million gain related to the change in fair value of the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants, which was partially offset by $1.2 million, ~~of stock-based compensation expense, $0.9 million amortization of debt discount and interest accrual related to the CRG Term Loan and $0.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense.~~

~~Cash used in investing activities of $1.2 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018,~~ respectively, resulted from capital expenditures to purchase property and equipment.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, financing activities used $0.7 million in cash, consisting primarily of $0.5 stock offering costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, financing activities provided $2.7 million in cash, consisting primarily of $~~2.9~~$2.9 million ~~from the exercise of stock options.~~

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, financing activities provided $59.5 million in cash, consisting of $59.1 million gross proceeds from the March 2018 Direct Registered Offering and $0.4 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

In December 2018, we entered into a term loan agreement, or the SVB Term Loan, with Silicon Valley Bank, for a principal amount of $56.0 million. The SVB Term Loan has a maturity date of December 1, 2023 and bears interest at a rate of 6.30% per annum to be paid monthly over the term of the loan. Beginning on December 1, 2020 (or June 1, 2021, if the Company achieves a trailing twelve-month revenue of at least ~~a specified amount~~$215.0 million from January 1, 2019 to December 1, 2020 and elects to apply such later date), the Company will make thirty-six equal monthly payments of principal (or thirty equal payments, if the Company so elects). In addition, upon repayment of the SVB Term Loan in full, the Company will make a final payment equal to 3.15% of the original aggregate principal amount of the SVB Term Loan.

On December 31, 2019, we entered into the First Amendment (the Amendment) to the SVB Term Loan. The Amendment, among other things, amended the SVB Term Loan to (i) suspend testing of the minimum revenue financial covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, (ii) provide for the minimum trailing twelve-month revenue thresholds under the minimum revenue financial covenant for periods ending on the last day of fiscal quarters in fiscal years subsequent to 2020 to be determined annually at the greater of (a) a 25% cushion to revenue forecasts provided by the Company to SVB and (b) 10% year-over-year annual growth, unless otherwise agreed, (iii) increase the minimum liquidity ratio financial covenant from 1.50:1.00 to 1.75:1.00 and (iv) increase the prepayment premium from 1.00% to 2.00% for amounts prepaid under the SVB Term Loan prior to the maturity date thereof, subject to certain exceptions.

The SVB Term Loan is secured by substantially all assets of the Company, except that the collateral does not include any intellectual property held by the Company, provided, however, the collateral does include all accounts and proceeds of such intellectual property.

We were in compliance with all financial covenants under the SVB Term Loan at March 31, ~~2019.~~2020.

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, ~~2019. As of~~2020 and December 31, ~~2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements except for our operating leases.~~2019. Additionally, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March ~~15, 2019, except for the changes to operating lease obligations due to the adoption of Topic 842,~~ 12, 2020~~Leases.~~. ~~See the section entitled “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the condensed consolidated financial statements.~~

For our contractual obligations that are expected to have an effect on our liquidity and cash flow, see section “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies” in the condensed consolidated financial statements and “Note 5 – Debt” in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements~~GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, ~~expenses and related disclosures.~~expenses. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other ~~assumptions~~factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

~~With the exception of the adoption of Topic 842,~~ ~~Leases~~, (see the section entitled “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the condensed consolidated financial statements), thereThere have been no significant changes to our accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, as compared to the critical accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March ~~15, 2019.~~12, 2020. We believe that the accounting policies discussed in that Annual Report are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Thus, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

We review new accounting standards to determine the expected financial impact, if any, that the adoption of each new standard will have. For the recently issued and adopted accounting standards that we believe may have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements, see the section entitled “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer, or CEO, and interim chief financial officer, or interim CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and interim CFO have concluded that as of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and that such required information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and interim CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the first quarter of ~~2019~~2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

On September 10, 2019, a complaint for patent infringement was filed by Varian Medical Systems, Inc., in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against the Company. Captioned Varian Medical Systems, Inc., v. ViewRay, Inc., the complaint alleges that the Company infringes two related patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 8,637,841 (the “’841 Patent”) and 9,082,520 (the “’520 Patent”) and seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages. The Company filed its answer on November 1, 2019. The matter is presently in discovery. We believe the allegations in the complaint are ~~not currently involved~~without merit and intend to vigorously defend the litigation.

On September 13, 2019, a class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws was filed in ~~any material~~U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against the Company, our chief executive officer, chief scientific officer and former chief financial officer. On December 19, 2019, the court appointed Plymouth County Retirement Association as the lead plaintiff and on February 28, 2020, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting securities fraud claims against ViewRay, our chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief scientific officer, and our former chief executive officer and former chief financial officer, Now captioned Plymouth County Retirement Assoc. v. ViewRay, Inc., et al., the amended complaint, purportedly brought on behalf of all purchasers of our common stock between May 10, 2018 until January 13, 2020, alleges that we violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements that failed to disclose adverse facts concerning the Company’s business, operations, and financial results and seeks damages, interest, and other relief. We believe the allegations in the complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend the litigation. ~~From time to~~

Given the early stage of each of the litigation matters described above, at this time we ~~may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business.~~are unable to reasonably estimate possible losses or form a judgment that an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and one or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against us could have a material adverse effect for the period in which they are resolved and on our business generally. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, lawsuits and legal proceedings are costly, divert management attention and may materially adversely affect our reputation, even if resolved in our favor.

The information under the caption “Commitments and Contingencies” in Note 6 of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

~~There~~Except with respect to the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, ~~2018.~~2019. If any of the risks discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

The coronavirus disease has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and has spread to many parts of the world and will adversely affect our business operations and financial condition.

The coronavirus disease has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, or WHO, and has spread to many parts of the world and will adversely affect our business operations and financial condition. The outbreak continues to grow globally and government and private sector responsive actions will adversely affect our business operations. It is impossible to predict the effect and potential spread of the coronavirus globally.

Should the coronavirus continue to spread, our business plans will be further materially delayed or interrupted. Our sales and revenue cycles, including MRIdian orders, deliveries and installation, as well as our other business operations, are likely to be significantly delayed as we experience adverse impacts, including but not limited to our teammates, global supply chain partners, transportation service providers, and customers. For example, along with delays in service from our global supply chain partners, we have experienced delays in installation of systems in Asia and Europe due to the restrictions imposed by government agencies and our customers in response to the spread of coronavirus. Similarly, our ability to conduct commercial efforts with our customers have been and are likely to continue to be disrupted as customers have suspended in-person sales calls and turned their focus to dealing with the impact of coronavirus on their operations. We have initiated a contingency plan with the goal to reduce our cash usage by approximately $30 million during the remainder of 2020, largely through reductions in operating expense, working capital and company-wide salary reductions; however, if our business operations continue to be adversely impacted by the spread of coronavirus, our costs associated with operating our business could be significantly higher than planned, which may have a material impact on our business. The coronavirus could also further adversely impact our teammate population, as well as our near-term and long-term revenues, earnings and cash flow and may require significant additional expenditures to mitigate such impacts. Should the impact of coronavirus result in a global recession, our ability to conduct our business and to access capital markets could be materially impacted; and capital equipment sales, which make up the majority of our revenue, may take longer than other areas of the economy in a recovery, which may have a material impact on our business. This situation continues to develop rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently.
