Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

SenesTech, Inc. (the “Company”(referred to in this report as “SenesTech,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) was formed in July 2004 and incorporated in the state of Nevada. The Company subsequently reincorporated in the state of Delaware in November 2015. The Company has itsOur corporate headquarters is in Flagstaff,Phoenix, Arizona.

The Company has We have developed and are seeking to commercialize a global, proprietary technology for managing animal pest populations, initially rat populations, through fertility control. The Company believes that its innovative non-lethal approach, targeting reproduction,

Although there are myriad tools available to control rat populations, most rely on some form of lethal method to achieve effectiveness. Each of these solutions is more humane, less harmfulinherently limited by rat species’ resilience and survival mechanisms as well as their extraordinary rate of reproduction. ContraPest®, our initial product, is unique in the pest control industry in attacking the reproductive systems of both male and female rats, which our field data shows will result in a sustained reduction of the rat population.

Rats have plagued humanity throughout history. They pose significant threats to the environment,health and more effective in providing a sustainablefood security of many communities. In addition, rodents cause significant product loss and damage through consumption and contamination. Rats also cause significant damage to critical infrastructure by burrowing beneath foundations and gnawing on electrical wiring, insulation, fire proofing systems, electronics and computer equipment.

The most prevalent solution to pestrat infestations than traditional lethalis the use of increasingly powerful rodenticides. Although these solutions provide short term results, there are growing concerns about secondary exposure and bioaccumulation of rodenticides in the environment, as well as concerns about rodenticides that have no antidotes. The pest management methods. Itsindustry and Pest Management Professionals (PMPs) are being asked for new solutions that are both effective and less toxic. Our goal is to provide customers with not only a solution to combat their most difficult rat problems, but also offer a non-lethal option to serve customers that are looking to decrease or remove the amount of rodenticide used in their pest control programs.

ContraPest is a liquid bait containing the active ingredients 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) and triptolide. ContraPest limits reproduction of male and female rats beginning with the first fertility control product candidate,breeding cycle following consumption. ContraPest is being marketed for use in controlling Norway and roof rat populations.

SenesTech began the rat population. The innovative compound is consumed by rats and leaves them non-reproductive without other observable side effects. The U.S.registration process with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) granted registration approval(EPA) for ContraPest effectiveon August 23, 2015. On August 2, 2016. The Company plans2016, the EPA granted an unconditional registration for ContraPest as a Restricted Use Product (RUP), due to the need for applicator expertise for deployment. On October 18, 2018, the EPA approved the removal of the RUP designation. We believe ContraPest is the first and only non-lethal, fertility control product approved by the EPA for the management of rodent populations.

In addition to the EPA registration of ContraPest in the United States, ContraPest must obtain registration from the various state regulatory agencies prior to selling in each state. We have received registration for ContraPest in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, 47 of which have approved the removal of the RUP designation.

We expect to continue to commercializepursue regulatory approvals and distributeamendments to the existing U.S. registration for ContraPest, by leveraging new and existing third-party relationshipsif ContraPest begins to generate sufficient revenue, regulatory approvals for additional jurisdictions beyond the United States. In certain cases, our EPA and state registrations require completion of testing and certifications even though we received approval for the product or its labelling. We continue to seek to comply with manufacturing, marketingthese requirements.

The Company also continues to research and distribution partnersdevelop enhancements to ContraPest that align with our target verticals and other potential fertility control options for additional species.

Reverse Stock Split

On February 4, 2020, we amended our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to effect a 1-for-20 reverse split of our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. The accompanying condensed financial statements and notes thereto give retrospective effect to the reverse stock split for all periods presented. All issued and outstanding common stock, options and warrants exercisable for common stock, restricted stock units, preferred stock conversions to common stock and per share amounts contained in our condensed financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted.

Going Concern

Our financial statements as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm included in its opinion for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 an explanatory paragraph referring to our net loss from operations and net capital deficiency and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available. If we encounter continued issues or delays in the U.S.commercialization of ContraPest, our prior losses and internationally.expected future losses could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and negatively impact our ability to fund continued operations, obtain additional financing in the future and continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that such financing, if necessary, will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through additional financings, sales of our products, licensing fees, royalty payments or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations.

Potential Need for Additional Capital

InSince our inception, we have sustained significant operating losses in the course of itsour research and development and commercialization activities the Company has sustained operating losses since its inception and expectsexpect such losses to continue for the near future. The Company’sWe have generated limited revenue to date from product sales, research grants and licensing fees received under our former license agreement with Neogen. In 2017, we began to prepare and launch commercialization of our first product, ContraPest. We have primarily funded our operations to date through the sale of equity securities, including convertible preferred stock, common stock and warrants to purchase common stock. See “Description of Capital Stock” elsewhere in this filing for a description of our public equity sales.

We have also raised capital through debt financing, consisting primarily of convertible notes and government loan programs; and, to a lesser extent, payments received in connection with product sales, research grants and licensing fees.

Through June 30, 2020, we had received net proceeds of $73.2 million from our sales of common stock, preferred stock and warrant exercises and issuance of convertible and other promissory notes, an aggregate of $1.7 million from licensing fees and an aggregate of $0.7 million in net product sales. As of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of $100.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million.

Our ultimate success depends upon the outcome of a combination of factors, including: (i) the success of its research and development; (ii) ongoing regulatory approval andsuccessful commercialization of ContraPest and its othermaintaining and obtaining regulatory approvals of our products and product candidates; (iii)(ii) market acceptance, and commercial viability and profitability of ContraPest and other products if the Company obtains the necessary regulatory approvals; (iv)products; (iii) the ability to market itsour products and establish an effective sales force and marketing infrastructure to generate significant revenue; (iv) the success of our research and development activities; (v) theour ability to retain and attract key personnel to develop, operate and grow itsour business; and (vi) the timely and successful completion ofour ability to meet our working capital needs.

We will need additional financing. The Company has funded its operations to date through the sale of convertible preferred stock and common stock, including an initial public offering of 1,875,000 shares of its common stock on December 8, 2016, debt financing, consisting primarily of convertible notes and, to a lesser extent, payments received in connection with research grants and licensing fees. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and highly liquid investments of $3,648.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”)GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements include the valuation of preferred stock, if issued, common stock and related warrants, and other stock-based awards. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no material impact on net earnings, financial position or cash flows.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs consisted primarily of legal, accounting and other direct and incremental fees and costs related to the Company’s initial public offering on December 8, 2016. Deferred offering costs of $2,234 were offset against the proceeds received from the initial public offering in December 2016.There were no deferred offering costs at September 30, 2017.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers money market fund investments to be cash equivalents. The Company had cash equivalents of $70 and $-0- at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, included in cash as reported.

Investments in Securities Held to Maturity

The Company uses cash holdings to purchase highly liquid, short term, investment grade securities diversified among security types, industries and issuers. All of the Company’s investment securities are measured at fair value. The Company’s investment securities primarily consist of municipal debt securities, corporate bonds, U.S. agency securities and commercial paper and highly-liquid money market funds.Accounts Receivable-Trade

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses consist primarily of payments made for director and officer insurance, director compensation, rent, legal and inventory purchase deposits and seminar fees to be expensed in the current year.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Equipment held under capitalfinance leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments less accumulated amortization.

Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the life of the improvement or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Equipment held under capitalfinance leases is amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. The Company incurs repair and maintenance costs on its major equipment. Repair and maintenance costsequipment, which are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require long-lived assets or asset groups to be tested for possible impairment, the Company compares the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the use of the asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, such as discounted cash flow models and the use of third- partythird-party independent appraisals. The Company has not recorded an impairment of long-lived assets since its inception.

Revenue Recognition

TheEffective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies whenby applying the following steps: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance of service has been renderedobligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3)each performance obligation in the amount of fee to be paid by a customercontract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

The Company has generatedrecognizes revenue fromwhen product is shipped at a license agreement with a strategic partner, pursuant to which the Company had granted to such partner the exclusive right to manufacture and distribute its product, ContraPest, once the required regulatory approvals were received. This licensing agreement was subsequently terminatedfixed selling price on January 23, 2017. Thepayment terms of the licensing agreement contained multiple elements or deliverables, as discussed below. Management evaluates whether the arrangement involving the multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting. To determine the units of accounting under a multiple-element arrangement, management evaluates certain separation criteria, including whether the deliverables have stand-alone value, based on the relevant facts and circumstances of the arrangement.

The Company determined that the license granted pursuant30 to the license agreement did not have stand-alone value and, therefore, the nonrefundable, upfront license fee payments received by the Company are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated related performance period (i.e.120 days from the effective date of the agreement through the estimated completion date of the Company’s substantive performance obligations).

In accordance with the terms of the license agreement, the Company was also to receive a future fixed amount of contingent milestone payments (i.e. post-regulatory approval license fees) and contingent sales-based royalties to be received upon the achievement of certain milestone events. The milestone events under the agreement include regulatory approval, patent issuance or alternative intellectual property coverage, and sales-based events. The Company did not earn or receive any of the potential contingent milestone payments, as the milestone events to receive such post-approval license fees and sales-based royalties were not achieved. The Company recognizes revenue that is contingent upon the achievement of a substantive milestone event in its entirety in the period in which the milestone is achieved. A milestone is considered substantive when the consideration payable to the Company for such milestone has all of the following characteristics: (i) there is substantive uncertainty at the date the arrangement is entered into that the event will be achieved; (ii) the event can only be achieved based in whole or part on either the Company’s performance or a specific outcome resulting from the Company’s performance; and (iii) if achieved, the event would result in additional payments being due to the Company. As the potential contingent consideration was to be received only upon the achievement of milestone events that are considered substantive, the Company would only recognize such revenue in the period the milestone is achieved and the milestone payments became due and collectible. In addition, the Company accounts for sales-based royalties as revenue upon achievement of certain sales milestones. 

Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months following the balance sheet date are classified as a current liability.

See Note 11 for additional discussion on stock-based compensation.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. These deferred tax assets are subject to periodic assessments as to recoverability and if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized, valuation allowances are recorded which would increase the provision for income taxes. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.

SENESTECH, INC.The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. Only those benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities are recognized. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.

Comprehensive Loss

Net loss and comprehensive loss were the same for all periods presented; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive loss is not included in the accompanying financial statements.

Loss Per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the computation of diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders, the Series A convertible preferred stock (prior to its conversion into common stock), Series B convertible preferred stock (prior to its conversion into common stock), convertible promissory notes (prior to their conversion), common stock purchase warrants, and common stock options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders because their effect would be anti-dilutive given the net loss reported for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016.2019.

The following table sets forth the outstanding potentially dilutive securities that have been excluded in the calculation of diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in common stock equivalent shares):

Adoption of New Accounting Standards:

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU No. 2016-02”).  Under ASU No. 2016-02, an entity is required to recognize right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements.  The Company elected the optional transition method provided by the FASB in ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, and as a result, has not restated its condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods presented. The Company has elected the practical expedients upon transition to retain the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption. The Company has also not reassessed whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases. The Company applied the new guidance to all operating leases within the scope of the standard that were in effect on January 1, 2019, or entered into after, the adoption date.  Comparative information for prior periods has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.  The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).  However, the new standard established $87 of liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets of $87 on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for leases, primarily related to operating leases on rented office properties, that existed as of the January 1, 2019, adoption date. 

At June 30, 2020, the balance in Right to Use Asset-Long Term and Lease Liability-Long Term was $573 and ($577) respectively and at December 31, 2019, the balance in Right to Use Asset-Long Term and Lease Liability-Long Term was $699 and ($694) respectively.

The Company’s leases primarily relate to operating leases of rented office properties.  For contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2019, at the inception of a contract the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.  At inception of a lease, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.

For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term.  The right-of-use lease asset represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments under the lease.

SENESTECH, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

The right-of-use lease asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred.  All right-of-use lease assets are reviewed for impairment.  The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease.

The Company identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing the right-of-use lease assets and corresponding liabilities.

Expected lease term – The expected lease term includes both contractual lease periods and, when applicable, cancelable option periods.  When determining the lease term, the Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

Incremental borrowing rate – As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company obtained the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) based on the remaining term of each lease.  The IBR is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.  

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.

The Company reports right-of-use lease assets within non-current assets in its consolidated balance sheet.  The Company reports the lease liabilities within long-term liabilities in its consolidated balance sheet.

See Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, for future minimum lease payments and maturities.

In May 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”)No.2017-9,Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU2017-9”), which providesauthoritative guidance about which changesintended to address a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. This guidance aligns the termsrequirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718.Per ASU 2017-9, an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used)obtain internal-use software. The guidance also requires presentation of the modified award iscapitalized implementation costs in the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used)statement of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately beforefinancial position and after the modification, (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified, and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in ASU 2017-9.ASU 2017-9 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017.Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The adoption ofASU 2017-9 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on the following eight specific cash flow classification issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies; (6) distributions received from equity method investees; (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. Current GAAP does not include specific guidance on these eight cash flow classification issues. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting(“ASU 2016-09”). This standard involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09flows in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented, and the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs to be presented in the same line item in the statement of operations as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and2019, including interim periods within those annual periods, for public business entities. The method ofwith early adoption is dependent on the specific aspect of accounting addressed in this new guidance. Early adoption was permitted in any interim or annual period. ASU 2016-09 was adopted bypermitted. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements or related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases(“ASU 2016-02”). This standard amends various aspects of existing accounting guidance for leases, including the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. This standard also introduces new disclosure requirements for leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. Early adoption is permitted and the new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, and provides for certain practical expedients. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,Financial Instruments — Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“ASU 2016-01”). This standard affects the accounting for equity instruments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective in the first quarter of 2019. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-01 on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17,Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which eliminates the guidance in Topic 740, Income Taxes, that required an entityand determined there was no applicability to separate deferred tax assets and liabilities between current and noncurrent amounts in a classified balance sheet. The amendments require that all deferred tax assets and liabilities of the same jurisdiction or a tax filing group, as well as any related valuation allowance, be offset and presented as a single noncurrent amount in a classified balance sheet. The standard became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods, and may be applied on either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company has adopted this standard retrospectively for all periods presented. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. Only those benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities are recognized. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. There are no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016at this time and as such, no interest or penalties were recorded in income tax expense.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15,Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern(“ASU 2014-15”). This standard requires management to perform an evaluation in each interim and annual reporting period whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. If such conditions or events exist, ASU 2014-14 also requires certain disclosures of management’s plans and evaluation, as well as the plans, if any, that are intended to mitigate those conditions or events that will alleviate the substantial doubt. ASU No. 2014- 15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption was permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not been previously issued. ASU 2014-15 was adopted by the Company and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since ASU 2014-09 was issued, several additional ASUs have been issued to clarify various elements of the guidance. These standards provide guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate. The standard requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We plan to use the modified retrospective method of adoption and will adopt the standard as of January 1, 2018, the beginning of our next fiscal year.. We have completed an initial evaluation of the potential impact from adopting the new standard, including a detailed review of performance obligations for all material revenue streams. Based on this initial evaluation, we do not expect adoption will have a materialno impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Related disclosures will be expanded

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in lineTopic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirementsimpact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The carrying amountsCompany issued common stock warrants to purchase shares of certaincommon stock in June of 2015 (see Note 11 — Stock-based Compensation for more details) that contain a cash settlement provision resulting in a common stock warrant liability that is revalued at the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. Assets and liabilities recordedend of each reporting period.

We value these warrant derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets, as well as assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis or disclosed at fair value, are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure their fair values.value. The accounting guidance for fair value, providesamong other things, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about howexpands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value is determined.on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale ofto sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurementreporting date. The accounting guidance also establishesframework for measuring fair value consists of a three-level valuation hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value based upon whether such inputs are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions made by the reporting entity. The three-level hierarchy for the inputs to valuation techniques is briefly summarized as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2—Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

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

An asset’s or liability’s 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. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of the following three valuation techniques:

The Company’s cash equivalents, which include money market funds,common stock warrant liabilities are classified as Level 13 because they are valued using quoted market prices. The Company’s marketable securities consist of held to maturity securities and are generally classified as Level 2 because their value is based on valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around the inputs to valuation, securities are classified as Level 3. Level 3 liabilities consist of common stock warrant liability.valuation.
