Risks and Uncertainties
The Company's future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors that could affect the Company's future operating results and cause actual results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, rapid technological change, continued acceptance of the Company's products, stability of global financial markets, cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions that could compromise the Company’s information or results, business disruptions that are caused by natural disasters or pandemic events, management of international activities, competition from substitute products and larger companies, ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals, government regulations and oversight, patent and other types of litigation, ability to protect proprietary technology from counterfeit versions of the Company's products, strategic relationships and dependence on key individuals.
The COVID-19 outbreak and related variants have negatively affected the United States and global economies. The spread of the coronavirus has impacted the global economy broadly in 2021 and 2020, including restrictions on travel, shifting work forces to work remotely and quarantine policies put into place by businesses and governments, had a material economic effect

on the Company’s business during the year ended December 31, 2021. Healthcare facilities in many countries effectively banned elective procedures and this had a significant impact on the Company. Many of the Company’s products are used in aesthetic elective procedures and as such, the bans on elective procedures substantially reduced the Company’s sales and marketing efforts in the early months of the pandemic and led the Company to implement cost control measures. Although the Company’s revenues and profits have improved as the economic outlook improved in 2021 and into 2022, the COVID-19 outbreak continues to be fluid, and the long-term impact on the Company's business due to COVID-19 is still uncertain. The Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any impacts in future periods from business shutdowns or disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, revenue, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.
The Company continues to assess whether any impairment of its goodwill or its long-lived assets has occurred and has determined that no charges were necessary during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company will continue to monitor future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its long-lived assets and goodwill, including the impacts of the COVID–19 pandemic and other ongoing impacts which are subject to uncertainty.
In 2021, the Company experienced a significant increase in sales of skincare products under the exclusive distribution agreement with ZO Skin Health, Inc. (“ZO”), which allows the Company to sell ZO’s skincare products in Japan. The reason for the increase in skincare products sales may have been the result of the COVID-19 pandemic changing customers’ spending habits, resulting in customers purchasing aesthetic treatments that were able to be applied at home, due to limitations on in-person aesthetic procedures. Future growth in sales of skincare products depends on customers maintaining spending habits adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. If customers revert to original spending habits after the COVID-19 pandemic, such changes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, operating results, and cash flows.
Accounting Policies
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022.
The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, amounts presented within the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements refer to the Company’s continuing operations.
Use of Estimates

The preparation of interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementscondensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’sCompany’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and disclosed inliabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statementsdate of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. These estimates are based on management's best knowledgenotes, and the reported amounts of current eventsrevenue and actions we may undertake inexpenses during the future.reported periods.

Recent

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB”), jointly with the International Accounting Standards Board, issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard will replace most of the existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or the modified retrospective method (or cumulative effect transition method).

The standard's core principle is that a reporting entity will recognize revenue when it transfers 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. In applying this new guidance to contracts within its scope, an entity will: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligation in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Additionally, this new guidance would require significantly expanded disclosures about revenue. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those annual periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new standard.

While the Company has not completed its evaluation, the Company currently plans to adopt this accounting standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Based on the analysis performed through the third quarter of 2017, the Company believes that the timing and measurement of revenue recognition under its contracts with customers for its Products and Services will not change significantly. However, the basis of revenue recognition will change to one based on the transfer of control of products and services. Also based on the analysis performed, the Company expects that incremental contract acquisition costs of obtaining revenue generating contracts, such as sales commissions paid in connection with system sales with multi-year post-warranty service contracts, would be capitalized and amortized over the customer relationship period. Under the current guidance, the Company expenses such costs when incurred. The Company is in the process of calculating the adjustment that would be required for capitalizing the sales commissions to accumulated deficit and completing the analysis and documentation required for the implementation of ASC 606 upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2018.

The new revenue standard is principle-based and interpretation of those principles may vary from company to company based on their unique circumstances. It is possible that interpretation, industry practice, and guidance may evolve as companies and the accounting profession work to implement this new standard. As the Company completes its evaluation of this new standard, new information may arise that could change the Company’s current understanding of the impact to revenue and expense recognized. Additionally, the Company will continue to monitor industry activities and any additional guidance provided by regulators, standards setters, or the accounting profession and adjust the Company’s assessment and implementation plans accordingly.

The new standard requires comprehensive disclosures of quantitative and qualitative information that enables users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company is in the process of preparing the expanded disclosures required under ASC 606.

Accounting for Leases

In February 2016,2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases2019-12Income Taxes (Topic 842), which amends740)-Simplifying the existing accounting standards for leases. The new standard requires lessees to record a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet (with the exception of short-term leases). The new standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. The new standard becomes effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The new standard is required to be adopted using the modified retrospective approach and requires application of the new standard at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Company generally does not finance purchases of equipment or other capital, but does lease some of its facilities. Several of the Company’s customers finance purchases of its system products through third party lease companies and not directly with the Company. The Company does not believe that the new standard will change customer buying patterns or behaviors for its products. The Company expects that upon adoption, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities will be recognized in the balance sheet in amounts that will be material.

Accounting for Income Taxes

In October 2016,, to remove certain exceptions and improve consistency of application, including, among other things, requiring that an entity reflect the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory, which requires the recognition of the income tax consequenceseffect of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. This ASU will be effective for the Companyenacted change in tax laws or rates in the first quarter of 2018.

Beginning fiscal year 2017,position and results of operations.

In August 2020, the Company adoptedFASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements 2020-6, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Topic 470) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Topic 815), to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting, which changes among other things, howsimplify the tax effects of share-based awardsaccounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the beneficial conversion and cash conversion separation models for convertible instruments.

In addition, the Company elected to continue its current practice of estimating expected forfeitures. The amount of excess tax benefits and deficiencies recognized in the provision for income taxes will fluctuate from period to period based on the price of the Company’s stock, the volume of share-based instruments settled or vested, and the value assigned to share-based instruments under GAAP.

Note 2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Investments

The Company invests its cash primarily in money market funds commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds,in highly liquid debt instruments of U.S. federal and municipal bonds,governments and debt securities issued by the U.S. government and itstheir agencies. The Company considersAll highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents; all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Investments withstated maturities of greater than three months are classified as marketable investments. The majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held in U.S. banks and U.S. Treasuries. The Company's foreign subsidiaries maintain a limited amount of cash in their local banks to cover their short term operating expenses.
The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase areand re-evaluates such designation at each balance sheet date. The Company’s marketable securities have been classified and accounted for as “available-for-sale,”available-for-sale securities. Investments with remaining maturities of more than one year are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reportedviewed by the Company as a component of stockholders’ equity, are held for use inavailable to support current operations and are classified inas current assets under the caption marketable investments in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Investments in available-for-sale debt securities are measured at fair value under the guidance in ASC 320. Credit losses on impaired available-for-sale debt securities are recognized through an allowance for credit losses. Under ASC 326, credit losses recognized on an available-for-sale debt security should not reduce the net carrying amount of the available-for-sale debt security below its fair value. Any changes in fair value unrelated to credit are recognized as “marketable investments.”

Note 3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value, is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. including cash and cash equivalents.
The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based oncontains the best information available in the circumstances (unobservablefollowing three levels of inputs). The that may be used to measure fair value, hierarchy consists of three broad levels,in accordance with ASC 820:
Level 1: inputs, which gives the highest priority to unadjustedinclude quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs, which include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, (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 asset or liability. When sufficient quoted pricing for identical securities is not available, the Company uses market pricing and other observable market inputs for similar securities obtained from various third-party data providers. These inputs either represent quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or have been derived from observable market data; and
Level 1) and the lowest priority to3: inputs, which include unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels ofthat are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value hierarchyof the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are described below:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Directly or indirectly observable inputs as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considersconsidering counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The Company records deferred revenue when revenue is to be recognized subsequent to invoicing. For extended service contracts, the Company generally invoices customers at the beginning of the extended service contract term. The Company’s extended service contracts typically have one to three-year terms. Deferred revenue also includes payments for training and extended marketing support services. Approximately 88% of the Company’s deferred revenue balance of $11.1 million as of March 31, 2022 will be recognized over the next 12 months.
The following table provides changes in the deferred service contract revenue balance for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and nine month ended September 30, 2017 and 20162021 (in thousands):

Note 7. Revenue
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time. Revenue from performance obligations that are transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately and 7% and 12% of the Company's total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and March 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company has certain systems sales arrangements that contain multiple products and services. For these bundled sale arrangements, the Company accounts for individual products and services as separate performance obligations if they are distinct. The Company’s products and services are distinct if a customer can benefit from the product or service on its own or with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and if the Company’s promise to transfer the products or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the sale arrangements. The Company’s system sale arrangements can include all or a combination of the following performance obligations: the system and software license (considered as one performance obligation), system accessories (hand pieces), training, other accessories, extended service contracts, marketing services, and time and materials services.
For the Company’s system sale arrangements that include an extended service contract, the period of service commences at the expiration of the Company’s standard warranty offered at the time of the system sale. The Company considers the extended service contracts terms in the arrangements that are legally enforceable to be performance obligations. Other than extended service contracts and marketing services, which are satisfied over time, the Company generally satisfies all performance obligations at a point in time. Systems, system accessories (hand pieces), service contracts, training, and time and materials services are also sold on a stand-alone basis, and these performance obligations are satisfied at a point in time. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price of the contract to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis.
Significant Judgments
The determination of whether two or more contracts entered into at or near the same time with the same customer should be combined and accounted for as one contract may require the use of significant judgment. In making this determination, the Company considers whether the contracts are negotiated as a package with a single commercial objective, have price interdependencies, or promise goods or services that represent a single performance obligation.
While the Company’s purchase agreements do not provide customers with a contractual right of return, the Company maintains a sales allowance to account for potential returns or refunds as a reduction in transaction price at the time of sale. The Company estimates sales returns and other variable consideration based on historical experience.
13

Table of Contents
The Company determines the standalone selling price ("SSP") for each performance obligation as follows:
Systems: The SSPs for systems are based on directly observable sales in similar circumstances to similar customers.
Extended warranty/Service contracts: SSP is based on observable price when sold on a standalone basis (by customer type).
Nature of Products and Services
Systems
Systems revenue is generated from the sale of systems and from the sale of upgrades to existing systems. A system consists of a console that incorporates a universal graphic user interface, a laser or other energy-based module, control system software and high voltage electronics, as well as one or more hand pieces. In certain applications, the laser or other energy-based module is contained in the hand piece rather than within the console.
The system or upgrade and the right to use the embedded software represent a single performance obligation as the software license is integral to the functionality of the system or upgrade.
For systems sold directly to end-customers that are credit approved, revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control to the end-customer, which occurs when the product is shipped to the customer or when the customer receives the product, depending on the nature of the arrangement. When collectability is not established in advance of receipt of payment from the customer, revenue is recognized upon the later of the receipt of payment or the satisfaction of the performance obligation. For systems sold through credit approved distributors, revenue is recognized upon shipment to the distributor.
The Company typically receives payment for its system consoles and other accessories within 30 2017days of shipment. Certain international distributor arrangements allow for longer payment terms.
Skincare products
The Company sells third-party manufactured skincare products in Japan. The skincare products are purchased from a third-party manufacturer and 2016, respectively;sold to medical offices and licensed physicians. The Company warrants that the skincare products are free of significant defects in workmanship and materials for 90 days from shipment. The Company acts as the principal in this arrangement, as the Company determines the price to charge customers for the skincare products and controls the products before they are transferred to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue for skincare products upon shipment.
Consumables andother accessories
The Company classifies its customers' purchases of replacement cycles for truSculpt iD and truSculpt flex, as well as replacement hand pieces, xeo and truSculpt 3D hand pieces, and single use disposable tips applicable to Secret PRO, and Secret RF, as Consumable revenue, which provides the Company with a source of recurring revenue from existing customers. The Secret RF product single use disposable tips must be replaced after every treatment. The Company’s systems offer multiple hand pieces and applications, which allow customers to upgrade their systems.
Extended contract services
The Company offers post-warranty services to its customers through extended service contracts that cover parts and labor for terms of one to four years. Service contract revenue is recognized over time, using a time-based measure of progress, as customers benefit from the service throughout the service period. The Company also offers services on a time-and-materials basis for systems and detachable hand piece replacements. Revenue related to services performed on a time-and-materials basis is recognized when performed.
Training
Sales of systems to customers include training on the use of the system to be provided within 180 days of purchase. The Company considers training a separate performance obligation as customers can immediately benefit from the training together with the customer’s system. Training is also sold separately from systems. The Company recognizes revenue for training when the training is provided.
Loyalty Program
14

Table of Contents
The Company has a customer loyalty program for qualified customers located in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Under the loyalty program, based on their purchasing levels, customers accumulate points that can be redeemed for such rewards as the right to attend the Company’s advanced training event for truSculpt, or a ticket for the Company’s annual forum. A customer’s account must be in good standing to receive the benefits of the rewards program. Rewards are earned on a quarterly basis and must be used in the following quarter. All unused rewards are forfeited. The fair value of the reward earned by loyalty program members is included in accrued liabilities and recorded as a reduction of net revenue at the time the reward is earned. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the liability for the loyalty program included in accrued liabilities was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Deferred Sales Commissions
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which consist of commissions and related payroll taxes, are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over an expected period of benefit estimated to be two to three years, except for costs that are recognized when product is sold.
Total capitalized costs as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $3.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and $4.9are included in Other long-term assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amortization expense for these assets was $0.7 million forand $0.5 million during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022, and 2016,March 31, 2021, respectively.

The amortization related to these capitalized costs is included in sales and marketing expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Note 9. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number ofdilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. In periods of net income, dilutedperiod using the treasury stock method and the if-converted method. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money equity awards (stockstock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, ESPP shares and employee stock purchase plan contributions), whichconversion shares under the convertible notes. The diluted EPS is calculated based oncomputed with the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for the equity award, and the amount of compensation cost for future serviceassumption that the Company has not yet recognized, are all assumedwill settle the convertible debt in shares, rather than cash.

Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s convertible notes were potentially convertible into 4,167,232 shares of common stock. The Company used the if-converted method to be used to repurchase shares. Diluted earnings per share iscalculate the same as basic earningspotential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted net income per share for the periods in whichthree months ended March 31, 2022.

The denominator for diluted net income (loss) per share does not include any effect from the capped call transactions the Company hadentered into concurrently with the issuance of the convertible notes, as this effect would be anti-dilutive. In the event of conversion of a netConvertible note, shares delivered to the Company under the capped call will offset the dilutive effect of the shares that the Company would issue under the convertible notes. In the three months ended March 31, 2022, the “if-converted method” was not applied as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, a basic loss becauseper common share and diluted loss per common share are the same in each respective period as the inclusion of outstanding common stock equivalentsany potentially issuable shares would be anti-dilutive.

Note 10.10. Income Taxes

The Company calculates

For the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to “ordinary” income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items) for the reporting period. When applicable, the year-to-date tax provision reflects adjustments from discrete tax items. In the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. As a result of the adoption of the ASU No. 2016-09, the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 tax provision includesMarch 31, 2022, the discrete accounting of the net tax benefit of excess compensation cost (“windfalls”). In the periods prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, the tax benefit of windfalls and tax deficiencies (“shortfalls”) were recorded in equity to the extent of previous windfalls, and then to the income statement.

For the nine- month period ended September 30, 2016, the Company used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate the provision for income taxes. The Company determined that since small changes in estimated “ordinary” income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for the fiscal nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.

The Company’sCompany's income tax expense was $0.2 million, compared to the tax expense of $225,000 and $166,000$0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, related primarily to the Company’s U.S. and non-U.S. operations based on the annual effective tax rate method. In addition, it included a tax benefit for excess tax deductions of approximately $50,000 and $160,000 recorded discretely in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. March 31, 2021.

The Company’sCompany's income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $61,000March 31, 2022 and $115,000, respectively, and related primarily2021, is due to income taxes of the Company’s non-U.S. operations.

in foreign jurisdictions. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expectedcontinues to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. Amaintain a full valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets. In evaluating the ability to recover deferred tax assets, the Company considered available positive and negative evidence giving greater weight to its recent historical financial results and lesser weight to its projected financial results, due to the subjectivity involved in forecasting future periods. The Company also considered, commensurate with its objective verifiability, the forecast of future taxable income including the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the Company had a 100% valuation allowance againston its U.S. deferred tax assets. In

Note 11. Leases
The Company is a party to certain operating and finance leases for vehicles, office space and storage facilities. The Company’s operating leases consist of office space, as well as storage facilities and finance leases consist of automobiles. The Company’s leases generally have remaining terms of one to ten years, some of which include options to renew the near future, as and when the Company concludes that sufficient positive evidence, including its estimate of future taxable income, existsleases for up to support a reversal of all or a portion of the valuation allowance, then the Company expects that a significant portion of any release of the valuation allowance will be recorded as an income tax benefit at the time of release, which will have a material impact on the financial statements. Thereafter, the income tax expense recorded in future quarters could also be significantly higher than it has been since fiscal year 2009, when we recorded a valuation allowance for our U.S. deferred tax assets.

The Company determines if a contract contains a lease at inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the remaining committedlease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent the right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not material.

yet paid, the Company estimates the incremental secured borrowing rates corresponding to the maturities of the leases. The Company based the rate estimates on prevailing financial market conditions, credit analysis, and management judgment.

The Company recognizes expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, tenant incentives used to fund leasehold improvements are recognized when earned and reduce the Company’s right-of-use (“ROU”) asset related to the lease. These are amortized through the ROU asset as reductions of expense over the lease term.

Note 12. Contingencies

The Company is named from time to time as a party to other legal proceedings, product liability, commercial disputes, employee disputes, and contractual lawsuits and other general corporate matters in the normal course of business. A liability and related charge are recorded to earnings in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for legal contingencies when the loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The assessment is re-evaluated each accounting period and is based on all available information, including discussion with outside legal counsel. If a reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss cannot be made, but a range of probable losses can be estimated, the low-end of the range of losses is recognized if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other. If a material loss is reasonably possible, but not probable and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company routinely assessesexpenses legal fees as incurred.
On January 31, 2020, the likelihoodCompany filed a lawsuit against Lutronic Aesthetics in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of any adverse judgmentsCalifornia. Lutronic employs numerous former Company employees. The complaint against Lutronic generally alleges claims for (1) misappropriation of trade secrets in violation of state and federal law; (2) violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO); (3) interference with contractual relations; (4) interference with prospective economic advantage; (5) unfair competition; and (6) aiding and abetting. On March 13, 2020, the court entered a temporary restraining order against Lutronic generally prohibiting it from using or outcomesdisseminating the Company's confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information. The order also prohibits Lutronic, for two years, from using such information for the purpose of soliciting, or conducting business with, certain specified customers. At the parties’ request, the Court subsequently entered a preliminary injunction providing for the same restrictions in the restraining order. On February 9, 2022, the Company filed a motion seeking leave from the court to file a second amended complaint. In addition to the above-referenced claims against Lutronic Aesthetics, the proposed amended complaint alleges additional claims against it, including (1) violation of the Lanham Act; (2) unlawful business practices; (3) false advertising; and (4) trademark infringement. The proposed amended complaint also seeks to add Lutronic Corporation (the Korean parent company of Lutronic Aesthetics) as an additional defendant, and also alleges against it the above-described claims for misappropriation of trade secrets, violation of RICO, interference with contractual relations and prospective economic advantage, unfair competition, and aiding and abetting. Discovery is ongoing and no trial date has been scheduled.
As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company had accrued $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, related to legal mattersvarious pending commercial and claims,product liability lawsuits. The Company does not believe that a material loss in excess of accrued amounts is reasonably likely.
Note 13. Debt
Convertible notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs
In March 2021, the Company issued $138.3 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due on March 15, 2026 in a private placement offering. The convertible notes bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per year payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2021. Upon conversion, the convertible notes will be convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The convertible notes are presented as convertible notes, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Proceeds from the offering were $133.6 million, net of issuance costs, including initial purchasers fees.
Initially, each $1,000 principal amount of Notes was convertible into 30.1427 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $33.18 per share. The conversion rate for the convertible notes is subject to adjustment for certain events as
21

Table of Contents
set forth in the Indenture governing the convertible notes. The convertible notes will mature on March 15, 2026, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased in accordance with the terms of the convertible notes. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. As of March 31, 2022, the net carrying amount of the Company’s convertible notes was $134.5 million and the unamortized debt issuance costs were $3.8 million.
Holders may convert their Notes at their option prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2025, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, only under the following circumstances:
During any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the convertible notes on each applicable trading day;
During the 5-business day period after any 5 consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
The Company calls such convertible notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
��Upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.
On or after December 15, 2025, and until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
The circumstances described in the first bullet of the paragraph above were not met during the first quarter of 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Notes are not convertible and this condition will remain until June 30, 2022. The notes may become convertible in future periods. Upon any conversion requests of the convertible notes, the Company would be required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election with respect to such conversion requests. To the extent there are any conversion requests during the twelve months ending March 31, 2023, the Company intends to settle such conversion requests in shares of common stock. Therefore, as of March 31, 2022, the convertible notes have been included as Long-term debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company may not redeem the convertible notes prior to March 20, 2024. On or after March 20, 2024, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at the Company’s option, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If the Company elects to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Notes, at least $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date.
If a specified corporate event occurs, note holders have the option to require the Company to repurchase any portion or all of their convertible notes in $1,000 principal increments for cash. The price for such repurchase is calculated as 100% of the principal amounts of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change repurchase date. Additionally, holders of the Notes who convert in connection with a fundamental change are, under certain circumstances, entitled to an increase in conversion rate.
The convertible notes are general senior unsecured obligations that rank senior to any of the Company’s indebtedness that is explicitly subordinated to the Notes. The Notes have equal rank in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness that is not subordinated to the Notes. The Notes will be junior to any of the Company’s secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Notes do not contain any financial or operating covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the issuance of other indebtedness or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company.
The estimated fair value of the convertible notes was approximately $295.4 million as of March 31, 2022, which the Company determined through consideration of market prices. The fair value measurement is classified as Level 2, as defined in Note 3.

In connection with issuance of the convertible notes, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain option counterparties. The capped call transactions are generally intended to reduce the potential dilution of the Company's common stock upon any conversion or settlement of the Notes or to offset any cash payment the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount upon conversion of the Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction or offset subject to a cap based on the cap price. If the market price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the cap price of the capped calls transaction, then the Company’s stock would experience some dilution and/or the capped call would not fully offset the potential cash payments, in each case to the extent the then-market price per share of its common stock exceeds the cap price. Under the capped call transactions, the Company purchased from the option counterparties capped call options that in the aggregate relate to the total number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the convertible notes, with a strike price equal to the conversion price of the convertible notes and with an initial cap price equal to $45.5350, which represents a 75% premium over the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock of $26.02 per share on March 4, 2021, with certain adjustments to the settlement terms that reflect standard anti-dilution provisions. The capped call transactions expire over 40 consecutive scheduled trading days ended on March 12, 2026. The capped calls were purchased for $16.1 million. The Company evaluated the capped call transaction under authoritative accounting guidance and determined that it should be accounted for as a separate transaction and classified as a net reduction to Additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity with no recurring fair value measurement recorded.
The Company early adopted ASU 2020-6, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) on January 1, 2021. In accordance with Subtopic 470-20 and 815-40, as revised by ASU 2020-6, the Company records the convertible notes in long-term debt with no separation between the Notes and the conversion option. Each reporting period, the Company will determine whether any criteria is met for the note holders to have the option to redeem the Notes early, which could result in a change in the classification of the Notes to current liabilities.
Debt Issuance Cost
The issuance costs related to the convertible notes are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the convertible notes.
The issuance costs are amortized using an effective interest method basis over the term of the convertible notes and accordingly the Company recorded approximately $0.2 million of amortization of debt issuance costs during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The effective interest rate on the convertible notes is 2.97%. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022, including the amortization of debt issuance cost, totaled approximately $1.0 million.
Loan and Security Agreement
On July 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a four-year secured revolving loan facility (“SVB Revolving Line of Credit”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million. The SVB Revolving Line of Credit matures on July 9, 2024.
In order to draw on the full amount of the SVB Revolving Line of Credit, the Company must satisfy certain liquidity ratios. If the Company is unable to meet these liquidity ratios, then availability under the revolving line is calculated as 80% of the Company’s qualifying accounts receivable. The proceeds of the revolving loans may be used for general corporate purposes. The Company’s obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Interest on principal amount outstanding under the revolving line shall accrue at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of either 1.75% above the Prime Rate or five percent (5.0%). The Company paid a non-refundable revolving line commitment fee of $0.3 million, on the effective date of the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank of July 9, 2020, and the Company is required to pay an anniversary fee of $0.3 million on each twelve-month anniversary of the effective date of the Loan and Security Agreement.

The Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank contains customary affirmative covenants, such as financial statement reporting requirements and delivery of borrowing base certificates, as well as rangescustomary covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, sell certain assets, guarantee obligations of probable losses. A determinationthird parties, declare dividends, or make certain distributions, and undergo a merger or consolidation or certain other transactions. The Loan and Security Agreement also contains certain financial covenants, including maintaining a quarterly minimum revenue of $90.0 million, determined in accordance with GAAP on a trailing twelve-month basis, but which is only applicable if the Company has an outstanding balance under the loan facility.
On March 4, 2021, the Loan and Security Agreement dated July 9, 2020 was amended to (i) permit the Company to issue the convertible notes and perform its obligations in connection therewith, and (ii) permit the Capped Call transactions.
On or about May 28, 2021, the Loan and Security Agreement was amended. The amendment removed the quarterly minimum revenue requirement but kept in place the other financial covenants.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not drawn on the SVB Revolving Line of Credit and the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants of the amountSVB Revolving Line of Credit.
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan
On April 22, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $7.2 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act. The loan, which was in the form of a promissory note dated April 21, 2020, between the Company and Silicon Valley Bank as the lender, originally matured on April 21, 2022 and bore interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum, payable monthly commencing September 2021. There was no prepayment penalty. Under the terms of the reserves required,PPP, all or a portion of the principal may have been forgiven if any,the loan proceeds were used for these contingenciesqualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, benefits, rent, and utilities.
The PPP loan and related accrued interest were forgiven in June 2021 under the provisions of the CARES Act, and a $7.2 million gain on forgiveness was recorded as Gain on extinguishment of PPP loan in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
Note 14. Segment reporting
Segment reporting is based on the “management approach,” following the method that management organizes the Company’s reportable segments for which separate financial information is made after analysisavailable to, and evaluated regularly by, the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and in assessing performance.

In March 2022, the above mentioned five primary systems, weCompany received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") 510(k) clearance of the AviClear acne treatment device.
AviClear is a laser treatment that offers a safe, prescription-free solution for acne. In addition to reducing existing acne, clinical trials show that future breakout episodes are shorter, less intense, and more infrequent following the AviClear procedure. Further, acne clearance results continue to generateimprove over time, demonstrating the long-term efficacy of this novel treatment. Importantly, no pain mitigation was utilized or required by any clinical study participant.
Acne vulgaris is a nearly universal skin disease, with approximately 50 million North American teens and young adults seeking treatment each year. Overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands is one of the leading causes of acne. AviClear tackles acne at the source by selectively targeting the sebocytes and suppressing sebum production. This product is a 1726 nm laser device designed to treat inflammatory acne vulgaris. AviClear delivers optimal therapeutic energy in conjunction with the AviCool feature to ensure safety and scalability of the procedure across all skin types and acne severities. AviClear is currently available in a limited commercial capacity in the U.S. and will be rolled out to physicians in the United States throughout 2022. The AviClear device incorporates a revenue from our legacy products such as GenesisPlusTM, CoolGlide®, and a third-party sourced system called myQ® for the Japanese market. We have renewed our distribution contract for the sale of myQshare model, resulting in Japan on a non-exclusive basis through September 30, 2018. For our Titan and truSculpt hand pieces, after a set number of treatments have been performed, the customer is required to send the hand piece back to the factory for refurbishment, which we refer to as “refilling” the hand piece. In Japan, we also distribute ZO Medical Health Inc. (“ZO”) skincare products.

Skincare revenue relates to the distribution of ZO’s skincare products in Japan. The skincare products are purchased from a third-party manufacturer and sold to medical offices and licensed physicians. The Company acts as the principal in this arrangement, as the Company determines the price to charge customers for the skincare products and controls the products before they are transferred to the customer.
Service revenue includes prepaid service contracts, direct billings for detachable hand piece replacements (except for Titan and truSculpt) and revenue for partscustomer marketing support and labor on out-of-warranty products.

Impact of COVID-19 on Companys business and operations
The COVID-19 outbreak and related variants have negatively affected the United States and global economies. The spread of the coronavirus has impacted the global economy broadly in 2021 and 2020, including restrictions on travel, shifting work forces to work remotely and quarantine policies put into place by businesses and governments, had a material economic effect on the Company’s business during the year ended December 31, 2021. Healthcare facilities in many countries effectively banned elective procedures and this had a significant impact on the Company. Many of the Company’s products are used in aesthetic elective procedures and as such, the bans on elective procedures substantially reduced the Company’s sales and marketing efforts in the early months of the pandemic and led the Company to implement cost control measures. Although the Company’s operation and results of operations have significantly improved as the economic outlook improved in 2021 and into 2022, the COVID-19 outbreak continues to be fluid, and the aftermath of the business and economic disruptions due to the COVID-19 is still uncertain, making it difficult to forecast the final impact it could have on the Company’s future operations, including disruptions in the Company's supply chain and contract manufacturing operations. The Company cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any impacts in future periods from business shutdowns or disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the impact on economic activity including the possibility of recession or financial market instability could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, revenue, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.
The Company continues to assess whether any impairment of its goodwill or its long-lived assets has occurred and has determined that no charges were necessary during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company will continue to monitor future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment of its long-lived assets and goodwill, including the impacts of the COVID–19 pandemic and other ongoing impacts which are subject to uncertainty.
In 2021, the Company experienced a significant increase in sales of skincare products under the exclusive distribution agreement with ZO Skin Health, Inc., which allows the SEC,Company to sell ZO’s skincare products in Japan. The reason for the increase in skincare products sales may have been the result of the COVID-19 pandemic changing customers’ spending habits, resulting in customers purchasing aesthetic treatments that were able to be applied at home, due to limitations on in-person aesthetic procedures. Future growth in sales of skincare products depends on customers maintaining spending habits adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. If customers revert to original spending habits after the COVID-19 pandemic, such changes may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenue, operating results, and (4) other announcements we make from time to time.

Revenue
The timing of the Company’s revenue is significantly affected by the mix of system products, installation, training, consumables and extended contract services. The revenue generated in any given period is also impacted by whether the revenue is recognized over time or upon completion of delivery. For an additional description on revenue, see Note 1 in the notes to consolidated financial statements on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and Note 7 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item I, Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for promised goods or services. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied either over time or at a point in time. Revenue from performance obligations that are transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 7% and 12% of the Company’s total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue recognized over time relates to revenue from the Company’s extended service contracts and marketing services. Revenue recognized upon delivery is primarily generated by the sales of systems, consumables and skincare.

The Company’s principal source of the "annual effective tax rate" for the full fiscal year to ordinary income. The result related primarily to U.S. alternative minimum taxes as we are able to utilize our net operating losses brought forward. In addition, we recorded discretely the net tax benefit of excess equity compensation costs (“windfalls”) of approximately $50,000 and $160,000liquidity in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

For our income tax provision inMarch 31, 2022, was cash generated from net proceeds from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the tax expense was primarily related to income taxes of our non-U.S. operations as our U.S. operations were in a loss position and we had a 100% valuation allowance against them. We did not record a year-to-date tax benefit associated with the projected 2016 U.S. tax expense due to historical losses and uncertainties related to the projected income.

Due to the uncertainty regarding the timing and extent of our future profitability, we continue to record a full valuation allowance to offset our U.S. deferred tax assets, which primarily represent future income tax benefits associated with our operating losses because we do not currently believe that the positive evidence outweighs the negative evidence. In the near future, if we conclude that sufficient positive evidence (including our estimate of future taxable income) exists to support a reversal of all or a portionissuance of the valuation allowance, we expect that a significant portion of any release of the valuation allowance will be recorded as an income tax benefit at the time of release, which will have a material impact on our financial statements. In addition, as and when we discontinue recording a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, we expect that our income tax expense recordedconvertible notes in future quarters will also be significantly higher than it has been since fiscal year 2009, when we recorded a valuation allowance for our U.S. deferred tax assets.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A summary of the key market risks facing the Company is disclosed below. For a detailed discussion, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022 and other announcements the Company makes from time to time.
The conditional conversion feature of the convertible notes, if triggered, may adversely affect the Company's financial condition and operating results.
During any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2021 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the convertible notes on each applicable trading day. This condition was not met during the first quarter of 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Notes are not convertible and this condition will remain until June 30, 2022. The notes may become convertible in future periods. Upon any conversion requests of the convertible notes, the Company would be required to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election with respect to such conversion requests.
Interest Rate and Market Risk
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had not drawn on the Original Revolving Line of Credit, as amended. Overall interest rate sensitivity is primarily influenced by any amount borrowed on the line of credit and the prevailing interest rate on the line of credit facility. The effective interest rate on the line of credit facility is based on a floating per annum rate equal to the Company’s market risk duringPrime rate. The Prime rate was 3.50% as of March 31, 2022, and accordingly the nine months ended September 30, 2017. ForCompany may incur additional expenses if the Company has an outstanding balance on the line of credit and the Prime rate increases in future periods.
Inflation
The Company experienced inflationary pressure on its business, but the impact was mitigated through ongoing cost improvement initiatives. If the Company’s costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, the Company may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. The Company’s inability or failure to do so could harm the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Foreign Exchange Fluctuations
The Company generates revenue in Japanese Yen, Euros, Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds, and Swiss Francs. Additionally, a discussionportion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, referoperating expenses, and assets and liabilities are denominated in each of these currencies. Therefore, fluctuations in these currencies against the U.S. dollar could materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations upon translation of the Company’s revenue denominated in these currencies, as well as the re-measurement of the Company’s international subsidiaries’ financial statements into U.S. dollars. The Company has historically not engaged in hedging activities relating to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the 2016 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)

The Company maintains disclosure controls and consultant Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), which are requiredprocedures (as defined in accordance with Rule 13a-14 ofRules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). This Controls and Procedures section includes the information concerning the controls evaluation referred to in the certifications, and it should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b). The controls evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concludedamended) that as of the end of the period covered by this report the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Definition of Disclosure Controls

Disclosure Controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assureensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Company’s Exchange Act such as this Report,reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to reasonably assureforms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to ourthe Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management identified a material weakness in the year ended December 31, 2021, over the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. This material weakness is related to ineffective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access and segregation of duties related to certain information technology (“IT”) systems that support the Company’s financial reporting process at its Japan subsidiary. Although this material weakness did not result in any material misstatement of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, it could lead to a material misstatement of account balances or disclosures. Accordingly, management concluded that this deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022, at the reasonable assurance level, as a result of the material weakness in internal controls, which was disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Notwithstanding this material weakness, the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded that the consolidated financial statements, included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022, fairly present, in all material respects, the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash-flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Remediation Plans
The Company has begun the process of designing and implementing effective internal control measures to remediate this material weakness. The Company's efforts include reviewing user access to IT systems that support financial reporting and implementing additional controls designed to detect potential material misstatements that may arise as appropriatea result of user access and segregation of duties conflicts at the Company's Japan subsidiary. The actions the Company is taking are subject to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Disclosure Controls include componentsongoing executive management review and are also subject to audit committee oversight. The Company will not be able to fully remediate this material weakness until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. If the Company is unable to successfully remediate this material weakness, or if in the future, the Company identifies further material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, which consiststhe Company may not detect errors on a timely basis, and its condensed financial statements may be materially misstated.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In January 2022, the Company completed the implementation of a new ERP system. Accordingly, the Company modified the design and operation of certain internal control processes designedand procedures relating to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principlesthis new ERP system. Other than these ERP system implementation changes, there were no changes in the U.S. To the extent that components of ourCompany's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are included within Disclosure Controls, they are included inreasonably likely to materially affect, the scope of our annual controls evaluation.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud.

A control system, no matter how well designedconceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further,of the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations includeAccordingly, the realitiesCompany’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management overrideobjectives of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effectiveCompany’s disclosure control system misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
There are no material changes from the risks referencedRisk Factors previously disclosed in this Form 10-Q or our other SEC filings could have a material impactthe Company’s Annual Report on our business and consolidated financial position or results of operations. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations.

For detailed discussion of risk factors that should be understood by any investor contemplating investment in our stock, please refer to “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2016 Form 10-K and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Our ability to reverse all or any part of the valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets is uncertain.

We have recorded a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the future benefits of those assets.  To the extent we determine that all, or a portion of, our valuation allowance is no longer necessary, we will reverse the valuation allowance and recognize an income tax benefit in the reported financial statement earnings in that period. Once the valuation allowance is eliminated or reduced, its reversal will no longer be available to offset our current financial statement tax provision in future periods. We believe that there is a possibility that, within the next 3-12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the periodfiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to changeSEC on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve. Due to significant estimates used to determine the valuation allowance and the potential for changes in facts and circumstances, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to reverse all or any of the valuation allowance or that the Company will not need to increase its deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the future.
