Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Liquidity These condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $171,918 and $164,487 and, as of such dates, did not have sufficient capital to fund its planned operations. Because of the Company’s recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2017 that such factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. To continue its operations, the Company must achieve profitable operations and/or obtain additional financing. Until the Company generates revenue at a level to support its cost structure, the Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses and net cash outflows. The Company may never become profitable and even if it does attain profitable operations, it may not be able to sustain profitability or positive cash flows on a recurring basis. The Company will need to raise further capital in the future to service its debt or fund its operations until the time it can sustain positive cash flows. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, it may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations and planned capital expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual property assets. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business, and, as such, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2018, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are unaudited. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted counting principles in the United States (U.S. GAAP) and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. The condensed consolidated financial data disclosed in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the three-month period are also unaudited. The condensed consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018, or for any other future annual or interim period. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, with the SEC on March 5, 2018.

A l i e rc m a n cc u n t r a s c i o a v b e l i m i a i o s l i a t i n Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to revenue recognition, the fair value of common stock, and the recoverability of the Company’s net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Reclassification Certain amounts in the prior year's condensed consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the previously reported consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. Concentration of Customers For the three months ended March 31, 2018, no customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, two customers accounted for 13% and 16% of the Company’s revenue. As of March 31, 2018, no customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2017, two customers accounted for 10% and 11% of the Company’s accounts receivable. JOBS Act Accounting Election The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued after the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it is (i) no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
