Accounting Principles |
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to interim financial statements. As permitted under those rules, certain information and footnote disclosures normally required or included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are considered necessary to present fairly the results of the Company's financial position and operating results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. |
|
The results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015 or for any other interim period or for any future period. |
|
Principles of Consolidation |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the wholly- owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Warrants with Down-Round Protection | | B. | Warrants with down-round protection | | | |
|
The Company has determined its derivative warrant liability with respect to the Series A Warrants to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and has used the Binomial pricing model to calculate its fair value. Because the warrants contain a price protection feature, the probability that the exercise price of the warrants would decrease as the stock price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculations. The key inputs used in the fair value calculations were as follows: |
|
| | 31-Mar-15 | | |
Dividend yield (%) | | | - | | |
Expected volatility (%) (*) | | | 105.14 | | |
Risk free interest rate (%) | | | 0.89 | | |
Expected term of options (years) (**) | | | 2.95 | | |
Exercise price (US dollars) | | | 5.8 | | |
Share price (US dollars) (***) | | | 2.31 | | |
Fair value (US dollars) | | | 1.06 | | |
|
| (*) | | | | |
| | |
Due to the low trading volume of the Company's Common Stock, the expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the share price of other public companies that operate in the same industry sector as the Company. | | | | | |
|
| | | ( | **) | Due to the fact that the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data, the expected term was determined based on the "simplified method" in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. |
|
| (***) | The Common Stock price, per share reflects the Company's management's estimation of the fair value per share of Common Stock as of March 31, 2015. In reaching its estimation, management considered, among other things, a valuation prepared by a third-party valuation firm following the issuance of the Series B Units. | | | |

Recently issued accounting pronouncements | | C. | Recently issued accounting pronouncements | | | |
|
| 1 | Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” | | | |
|
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). |
|
ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires entities to disclose sufficient information, both quantitative and qualitative, to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. |
|
An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU using one of the following two methods: 1. Retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with a possibility to elect certain practical expedients, or, 2. Retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. If an entity elects the latter transition method, it also should provide certain additional disclosures. |
|
For a public entity, the amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period (the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 for the Company). Early application is not permitted. |
|
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements. |
|
|
| 2 | Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern” | | | |
|
In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"). |
|
ASU 2014-15 provide guidance on management's responsibility in evaluating whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). |
|
ASU 2014-15 also provide guidance related to the required disclosures as a result of management evaluation. |
|
The amendments in ASU 2014-15 are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. |
|
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2014-15 on its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures. |
|
| 3 | Accounting Standard Update 2014-16, Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity” | | | |
|
In November 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2014-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity ("ASU 2014-16"). |
|
The amendments in ASU 2014-16 clarify how current U.S. GAAP should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. Specifically, the amendments clarify that an entity should consider all relevant terms and features, including the embedded derivative feature being evaluated for bifurcation, in evaluating the nature of the host contract. Furthermore, the amendments clarify that no single term or feature would necessarily determine the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. Rather, the nature of the host contract depends upon the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument. The amendments also clarify that, in evaluating the nature of a host contract, an entity should assess the substance of the relevant terms and features (i.e., the relative strength of the debt-like or equity-like terms and features given the facts and circumstances) when considering how to weight those terms and features. The assessment of the substance of the relevant terms and features should incorporate a consideration of the characteristics of the terms and features themselves; the circumstances under which the hybrid financial instrument was issued or acquired; and the potential outcomes of the hybrid financial instrument, as well as the likelihood of those potential outcomes. |
|
The amendments ASU 2014-16 apply to all entities that are issuers of, or investors in, hybrid financial instruments that are issued in the form of a share. |
|
|
The amendments in ASU 2014-16 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015 (fiscal 2016 for the Company). Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. |
|
The effects of initially adopting the amendments in ASU 2014-16 should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective. Retrospective application is permitted to all relevant prior periods. |
|
The Company is in the process of assessing the impact, if any, of ASU 2014-16 on its consolidated financial statements. |
