Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	NATURE OF OPERATIONS Alimera Sciences, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the Company), is a pharmaceutical company that specializes in the research, development and commercialization of prescription ophthalmic pharmaceuticals. The Company was formed on June 4, 2003 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is presently focused on diseases affecting the back of the eye, or retina, because the Company’s management believes these diseases are not well treated with current therapies and represent a significant underserved market opportunity. The Company’s only commercial product is ILUVIEN ® , which has received marketing authorization in the United States (U.S.), Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In the U.S., ILUVIEN is indicated for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure (IOP). In the European Economic Area (EEA) countries in which ILUVIEN has received marketing authorization, it is indicated for the treatment of vision impairment associated with DME considered insufficiently responsive to available therapies. As part of the approval process in the EEA, the Company has committed to conduct a five -year, post-authorization, open label registry study in 800 patients treated with ILUVIEN per the labeled indication. The Company launched ILUVIEN in Germany and the United Kingdom in the second quarter of 2013 and in the U.S. and Portugal in the first quarter of 2015. In addition, the Company has entered into various agreements under which distributors will provide regulatory, reimbursement or sales and marketing support for future commercialization of ILUVIEN in numerous countries in the Middle East, Canada, Italy, Australia and New Zealand.

Basis of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (Interim Financial Statements) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial information. The accompanying interim financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016. The financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the expected financial results for the full year.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in the Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2015. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts on Accounts Receivable Allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable were $65,000 and $118,000 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses were $1,571,000 and $1,306,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09 provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The revenue guidance contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public entities, with early adoption permitted in the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is still evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern . ASU 2014-15 provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is is currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements. In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This update requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . This standard requires all leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) . This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on the consolidated financial statements.

Factors Affecting Operations

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Factors Affecting Operations	FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATIONS To date, the Company has incurred negative cash flow from operations and has accumulated a deficit of $355,044,000 from inception through March 31, 2016 . As of March 31, 2016 , the Company had approximately $23,940,000 in cash and cash equivalents. In January 2016, the Company did not meet a revenue threshold under the covenants of the Company’s loan and security agreement with Hercules Capital, Inc. (Hercules). While this violation was waived by Hercules, the Company’s current financial forecast for 2016 projects that the Company must obtain alternative or additional financing or it is probable that the Company will not be in compliance with its liquidity covenant. While these financial covenant requirements may be waived in the future, there can be no certainty that this will be the case. The Company is currently pursuing alternative or additional debt financing and has an at-the-market offering in place under which it can sell up to approximately $34,175,000 of its common stock as of March 31, 2016. In an event of default, all amounts may become due under our loan agreement with Hercules and there would be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 9 Loan Agreements). Further, due to the limited revenue generated by ILUVIEN to date, even if the Company is able to refinance its loan and security agreement and maintain compliance with its debt covenants, it may have to raise additional capital to fund the continued commercialization of ILUVIEN. If the Company is unable to raise additional financing, the Company will need to adjust its commercial plans so that the Company can continue to operate with its existing cash resources. The actual amount of funds that the Company will need will be determined by many factors, some of which are beyond its control and the Company may need funds sooner than currently anticipated. The accompanying Interim Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company’s negative cash flow from operations and accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Interim Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

License Agreements	LICENSE AGREEMENTS The Company entered into an agreement with pSivida for the use of fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) in pSivida’s proprietary delivery device in February 2005, which was subsequently amended in 2008. The agreement with pSivida provides the Company with a worldwide exclusive license to utilize certain underlying technology used in the development and commercialization of ILUVIEN. The Company’s license rights to pSivida’s proprietary delivery device could revert to pSivida if the Company were to (i) fail twice to cure its breach of an obligation to make certain payments to pSivida following receipt of written notice thereof; (ii) fail to cure other breaches of material terms of its agreement with pSivida within 30 days after notice of such breaches or such longer period (up to 90 days ) as may be reasonably necessary if the breach cannot be cured within such 30 -day period; (iii) file for protection under the bankruptcy laws, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, appoint or suffer appointment of a receiver or trustee over its property, file a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency act or have any such petition filed against it and such proceeding remains undismissed or unstayed for a period of more than 60 days ; or (iv) notify pSivida in writing of its decision to abandon its license with respect to a certain product using pSivida’s proprietary delivery device. The Company must share 20% of the net profits of ILUVIEN, determined on a cash basis and 33% of any lump sum milestone payments received from a sub-licensee of ILUVIEN, as defined by the agreement with pSivida. In connection with this arrangement, the Company is entitled to recover 20% of commercialization costs of ILUVIEN, as defined in the agreement, incurred prior to product profitability out of pSivida’s share of net profits. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company was owed approximately $22,786,000 and $21,565,000 , respectively, in commercialization costs. Due to the uncertainty of future net profits, the Company has fully reserved these amounts in the accompanying Interim Financial Statements. As a result of the FDA’s approval of the NDA for ILUVIEN in September 2014, the Company made the pSivida Milestone Payment of $25,000,000 in October 2014.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Loan Agreements	LOAN AGREEMENTS 2014 Loan Agreement, 2015 Loan Amendment and 2016 Loan Amendment In April 2014, Alimera Sciences Limited (Limited), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan and security agreement (2014 Loan Agreement) with Hercules providing for a term loan of up to $35,000,000 (2014 Term Loan) which Limited and Hercules amended in November 2015 (the 2015 Loan Amendment and, together with the 2014 Loan Agreement, the Term Loan Agreement). Under the 2014 Loan Agreement, Hercules made an advance in the initial principal amount of $10,000,000 to Limited at closing to provide Limited with additional working capital for general corporate purposes and to repay the 2013 Term Loan. Hercules made an additional advance of $25,000,000 to Limited in September 2014 following the approval of ILUVIEN by the FDA to fund the pSivida Milestone Payment. The 2014 Term Loan provided for interest only payments through November 2015. Interest on the 2014 Term Loan accrues at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 10.90% , or (ii) the sum of (A) 7.65% , plus (B) the prime rate. Following the interest only period the 2014 Term Loan was due and payable to Hercules in equal monthly payments of principal and interest through May 1, 2018. The interest rate on the Term Loan Agreement was 11.15% as of March 31, 2016. In connection with the initial advance under the 2014 Term Loan, Limited paid to Hercules a facility charge of $262,500 and incurred legal and other fees of approximately $383,000 . Limited incurred approximately $375,000 in additional fees in connection with the second advance. If Limited repays the 2014 Term Loan, as amended, prior to maturity, it will pay Hercules a prepayment penalty of 1.25% of the total principal amount repaid. In November 2015, Limited and Hercules amended the 2014 Term Loan to extend the interest only payments through May 2017. Beginning in June 2017, Limited will make 11 equal monthly payments of principal and interest based upon a 30 -month amortization schedule followed by a final payment of all remaining outstanding principal and interest in May 2018. In connection with the 2015 Loan Amendment, Limited paid to Hercules an amendment fee of $262,500 and agreed to make an additional payment of $1,050,000 equal to 3% of the 2014 Term Loan at the time of the final payment in May 2018 (End of Term Payment). Limited and the Company, on a consolidated basis with the Company’s other subsidiaries, agreed to customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default in connection with these arrangements. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of Limited’s obligations under the Term Loan Agreement and an increase to the applicable interest rate and would permit Hercules to exercise remedies with respect to the collateral under the Term Loan Agreement. In connection with the 2015 Loan Amendment, Limited agreed to covenants regarding certain revenue thresholds and a liquidity threshold of $20,000,000 for the Company of which at least $10,000,000 must be in cash. In January 2016, the revenue threshold covenant was not met by the Company. As a result, in March 2016, Limited entered into the 2016 Loan Amendment with Hercules, which amended certain terms of the Term Loan Agreement. In conjunction with the 2016 Loan Amendment, Hercules waived the covenant violation (the 2016 Loan Amendment). The 2016 Loan Amendment amended the revenue covenant to a rolling three month calculation to first be measured for the three months ending May 31, 2016 and increases the liquidity covenant. The amended liquidity covenant requires the Company to keep at least $25,000,000 in liquidity, with a minimum of $17,500,000 in cash. Additionally, in any month in which the Company has $25,000,000 in cash, the revenue requirement will be waived. Upon execution of the 2016 Loan Amendment, Limited paid Hercules an amendment fee of $350,000 and agreed to increase the End of Term Payment to $1,400,000 from $1,050,000 , which is payable on the date that the Term Loan Agreement is paid in full. The Company concluded the 2016 Loan Amendment resulted in a substantial modification of the terms of debt when considered with the 2015 Loan Amendment in accordance with the guidance in ASC 470-50, Debt. As a result, the Company accounted for the 2016 Loan Amendment as an extinguishment and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $2,564,000 within the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The loss on early extinguishment consisted primarily of the unamortized debt discount associated with the warrants and debt issuance costs incurred prior to the 2016 Loan Amendment, the incremental fair value of the warrants as a result of the modifying the terms of the warrants and the debt issuance costs of $360,000 paid to Hercules for the 2016 Loan Amendment. The Company’s current financial forecast for 2016 projects that the Company must obtain alternative or additional financing or it is probable that the Company will not be able to comply with the liquidity covenant. While Hercules may waive financial covenant requirements in the future, there can be no certainty that this will be the case. The Company is currently pursuing alternatives with various lenders and has an at-the-market offering in place under which it can sell up to approximately $34,175,000 of its common stock as of March 31, 2016. However, the ability of the Company to avoid noncompliance with the liquidity covenant cannot be assured. If the Company does not maintain compliance with any of its covenants, Hercules could demand immediate repayment in full of the $35,000,000 note payable and the End of Term Payment. As a result, the full amount of the related long-term note payable and the End of Term Payment have been classified as current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Limited’s obligations to Hercules are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of Limited’s assets, excluding intellectual property. Hercules does, however, maintain a negative pledge on Limited’s intellectual property requiring Hercules’ consent prior to the sale of such intellectual property. The Company and certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries are guarantors of the obligations of Limited to Hercules under the Term Loan Agreement pursuant to separate guaranty agreements between Hercules and each of Limited and such subsidiaries (Guaranties). Pursuant to the Guaranties, the Company and these subsidiaries granted Hercules a first priority security interest in substantially all of their respective assets excluding intellectual property. The Term Loan Agreement also places limitations on the Company ’ s ability to declare or pay any dividend or distribution on any shares of capital stock. In connection with Limited entering into the 2014 Loan Agreement, the Company entered into a warrant agreement with Hercules to purchase up to 285,016 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.14 per share. Sixty percent of the warrants were exercisable at the closing in April 2014 and the remaining forty percent became exercisable upon the funding of the additional $25,000,000 to Limited in September 2014. Further, the Company agreed to amend the warrant agreement in connection with the 2015 Loan Amendment to increase the number of shares issuable upon exercise to 660,377 and decrease the exercise price to $2.65 per share. In connection with the 2016 Loan Amendment, the Company agreed to further amend the warrant agreement to increase the number of shares issuable to 862,069 and decrease the exercise price to $2.03 per share. Fair Value of Debt The weighted average interest rates of the Company’s notes payable approximate the rate at which the Company could obtain alternative financing; therefore, the carrying amount of the notes approximated their fair value at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Loss Per Share (EPS)	LOSS PER SHARE (EPS) Basic EPS is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share , by dividing net income or loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 by adjusting weighted average common shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock. In periods where a net loss is recorded, no effect is given to potentially dilutive securities, since the effect would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalent securities that would potentially dilute basic EPS in the future, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive, were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Series A convertible preferred stock 9,022,556 9,022,556 Series B convertible preferred stock 8,416,251 8,416,251 Series A convertible preferred stock warrants 4,511,279 4,511,279 Common stock warrants 940,023 362,970 Stock options 10,626,077 9,180,668 Total 33,516,186 31,493,724

Preferred Stock

Equity [Abstract]
Preferred Stock	PREFERRED STOCK Series A Convertible Preferred Stock On October 2, 2012, the Company closed its preferred stock financing in which it sold units consisting of 1,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $40,000,000 , prior to the payment of approximately $560,000 of related issuance costs. The powers, preferences and rights of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in the certificate of designation filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 1, 2012. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, including any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the warrants, is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the holder at the rate equal to $40.00 divided by $2.66 (Conversion Price). The initial Conversion Price was subject to adjustment based on certain customary price based anti-dilution adjustments. These adjustment features lapsed in September 2014. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the then-effective Conversion Price upon the occurrence of the later to occur of both (i) the Company receives and publicly announces the approval by the FDA of the Company’s NDA for ILUVIEN and (ii) the date on which the Company consummates an equity financing transaction pursuant to which the Company sells to one or more third party investors either (a) shares of common stock or (b) other equity securities that are convertible into shares of common stock and that have rights, preference or privileges, senior to or on a parity with, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, in each case having an as-converted per share of common stock price of not less than $10.00 and that results in total gross proceeds to the Company of at least $30,000,000 . The rights and preferences of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock also place limitations on the Company’s ability to declare or pay any dividend or distribution on any shares of capital stock. Each unit sold in the preferred stock financing included a warrant to purchase 0.30 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at an exercise price equal to $44.00 per share. At the election of the holder of a warrant, the warrant may be exercised for the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that would otherwise be issued upon such exercise at the then-effective Conversion Price. These warrants are considered derivative instruments because the agreements provide for settlement in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shares or common stock shares at the option of the holder, an adjustment to the warrant exercise price for common shares at some point in the future and contain anti-dilution provisions whereby the number of shares for which the warrants are exercisable and/or the exercise price of the warrants are subject to change in the event of certain issuances of stock at prices below the then-effective exercise price of the warrants. Therefore the warrants were recorded as a liability at issuance. The warrant anti-dilution provisions lapsed in September 2014. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the fair market value of the warrants was estimated to be $1,296,000 and $2,815,000 , respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded gains of $1,519,000 and $2,506,000 , respectively, as a result of the change in fair value of the warrants. In April 2014, 2,255,639 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the conversion of 150,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by an investor. In September 2014, 3,759,398 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the conversion of 250,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock held by another investor. As of March 31, 2016, there were 600,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock On December 12, 2014, the Company closed a preferred stock financing in which it sold 8,291.873 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $6,030 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $50,000,000 , prior to the payment of approximately $432,000 of related issuance costs. The Company issued an additional 124.378 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as a subscription premium to the purchasers. The powers, preferences and rights of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in the certificate of designation filed by the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at any time at the option of the holder, provided that the holder will be prohibited from converting Series B Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock if, as a result of such conversion, the holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.98% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issued and outstanding. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ranks junior to the Company’s existing Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and senior to the Company’s common stock, with respect to rights upon liquidation. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ranks junior to all existing and future indebtedness. Except as otherwise required by law (or with respect to approval of certain actions), the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock do not have voting rights. The Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable at the option of the holder. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is not subject to any price-based or other anti-dilution protections and does not provide for any accruing dividends. The Company determined that the conversion option of the Preferred Shares represented a beneficial conversion feature, as the conversion feature had intrinsic value to the holder on the commitment date as a result of the subscription premium. Therefore, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $750,000 as an increase in additional paid in capital. Because the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was immediately convertible into common stock at the option of the holder at issuance, the Company immediately accreted the full value of the beneficial conversion feature to the carrying value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock on that date.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of its assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. This estimate reflects, among other items, the Company’s best estimate of operating results and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s quarterly income tax rate may differ from its estimated annual effective tax rate because accounting standards require the Company to exclude the actual results of certain entities expected to generate a pretax loss when applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the Company’s consolidated pretax results in interim periods. In estimating the annual effective tax rate, the Company does not include the estimated impact of unusual and/or infrequent items, including the reversal of valuation allowances, which may cause significant variations in the customary relationship between income tax expense (benefit) and pretax income (loss) in quarterly periods. The income tax expense (benefit) for such unusual and/or infrequent items is recorded in the quarterly period such items are incurred. The Company’s income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based upon the respective estimated annual effective tax rates applicable for the respective periods adjusted for the effects of items required to be treated as discrete to the period, including changes in tax laws, changes in estimated exposures for uncertain tax positions and other items. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 properly excluded tax benefits associated with year-to-date pre-tax losses generated in the U.S. and the Netherlands. Income tax positions are considered for uncertainty in accordance with ASC 740-10. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions are more likely than not to be sustained on audit; therefore, no ASC 740-10 liabilities and no related penalties and interest have been recorded. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to its uncertain tax positions within the next 12 months. Tax years since 2003 remain subject to examination in Georgia, Tennessee and at the federal level. The time period is longer than the standard statutory 3-year period due to net operating losses (NOLs) from 2003 being available for utilization. The statute of limitations on these years will close when the NOLs expire or when the statute closes on the years in which the NOLs are utilized. Tax years since 2012 remain subject to examination in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Tax years since 2013 remain subject to examination in Germany. Significant management judgment is involved in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. Due to uncertainties with respect to the realization of deferred tax assets due to the history of operating losses, a valuation allowance has been established against the entire net deferred tax asset balance. The valuation allowance is based on management’s estimates of taxable income in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the period over which deferred tax assets will be recoverable. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates or the Company adjusts these estimates in future periods, a change in the valuation allowance may be needed, which could materially impact its financial position and results of operations. At December 31, 2015, the Company had federal NOL carry-forwards of approximately $100,844,000 and state NOL carry-forwards of approximately $84,301,000 available to reduce future income. The Company’s federal NOL carry-forwards remain fully reserved as of March 31, 2016. If not utilized, the federal NOL carry-forwards will expire at various dates between 2029 and 2035 and the state NOL carry-forwards will expire at various dates between 2020 and 2035. The Company’s NOL carry-forwards may be subject to annual limitations under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 382 (or comparable provisions of state law) in the event that certain changes in ownership of the Company were to occur. The Company periodically evaluates its NOL carry-forwards and whether certain changes in ownership, including its IPO, have occurred that would limit its ability to utilize a portion of the Company’s NOL carry-forwards. If it is determined that significant ownership changes have occurred since the Company generated its NOL carry-forwards, the Company may be subject to annual limitations on the use of these NOL carry-forwards under IRC Section 382 (or comparable provisions of state law). As of December 31, 2015, the Company had cumulative book losses in foreign subsidiaries of $67,452,000 . The Company has not recorded a deferred tax asset for the excess of tax over book basis in the stock of its foreign subsidiaries. The Company anticipates that its foreign subsidiaries will be profitable and have earnings in the future. Once the foreign subsidiaries do have earnings, the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest in its foreign subsidiaries all undistributed earnings of and original investments in such subsidiaries. As a result, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability related to excess of book over tax basis in the stock of its foreign subsidiaries in accordance with ASC 740-30-25.

Fair Value

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	FAIR VALUE The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements , in determining the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. Under this standard, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. The hierarchy of those valuation approaches is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The valuation under this approach does not entail a significant degree of judgment. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, (e.g., interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals or current market) and contractual prices for the underlying financial instrument, as well as other relevant economic measures. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The following fair value table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: March 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In thousands) Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ — $ — $ — $ — Assets measured at fair value $ — $ — $ — $ — Liabilities: Derivative warrant liability (2) $ — $ 1,296 $ — $ 1,296 Liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ 1,296 $ — $ 1,296 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (In thousands) Assets: Cash equivalents (1) $ 1,010 $ — $ — $ 1,010 Assets measured at fair value $ 1,010 $ — $ — $ 1,010 Liabilities: Derivative warrant liability (2) $ — $ 2,815 $ — $ 2,815 Liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ 2,815 $ — $ 2,815 (1) The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of the cash equivalents. (2) The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model and assumptions that consider, among other variables, the fair value of the underlying stock, risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected life and dividend rates in estimating fair value for the warrants considered to be derivative instruments.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	The Company has prepared the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto (Interim Financial Statements) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s interim financial information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . ASU 2014-09 provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The revenue guidance contains principles that an entity will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 for public entities, with early adoption permitted in the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is still evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern . ASU 2014-15 provides guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. For each reporting period, management will be required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is is currently in the process of evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on its financial statements. In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This update requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . This standard requires all leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) . This standard makes several modifications to Topic 718 related to the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption on the consolidated financial statements.
