Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates Basis for Presentation The Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses, and related disclosures during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates include allowance for credit losses, valuation of equipment on lease, recognition and measurement of current and deferred income taxes, valuation and recognition of investments and valuation of inventory. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions using historical experience and other factors; however, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and trade payables. The Company maintains its cash with major financial institutions. The Company’s cash consists of bank deposits held with banks that, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The cash and cash equivalents also include short term treasury bills with original maturities of three months or less and U.S. government money market fund accounts. The Company manages its accounts receivable credit risk through ongoing credit evaluation of its customers’ financial conditions. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. For information regarding the Company’s significant customers and vendors, see Note 11 to financial statements. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenues primarily from the rental or license of its vascular testing product. The Company recognizes revenues from the licensing of its product primarily pursuant to agreements that automatically renew each month with revenue recognized on a daily convention basis or when the test is performed. The Company’s arrangements with customers for its vascular testing product are normally on a month-to-month basis with fees billed at the rates established in the customer agreement, either on a fixed or variable (e.g. fee per test) basis, as earned. The Company also recognizes revenue for hardware and supplies sales as of the date of shipment. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues in the statement of income. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity date of three months or less. Funds held as investments in money market funds are included within cash and cash equivalents. Short-Term Investments Short-term investments are those that can be readily converted into cash and also any investment instruments that will mature within one year or which are expected to be liquidated within one year. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for credit losses. T he allowance for credit losses is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of accounts. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of this allowance for credit losses by considering historical experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality of the customers, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay to determine whether a specific reserve is appropriate. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectable are charged against the allowance for credit losses when identified. As of December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was $287. Net change due to credit losses during the year was $178. Allowance balance as of December 31, 2022, was $109. Inventory Inventory, which is made up of finished goods, is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically analyzes its inventory levels to identify inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its estimated realizable value, and writes down such inventory as appropriate. Assets for Lease Assets for lease are recorded at cost. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, assets for lease consisted of vascular testing devices, which are primarily leased to customers. The cost of such assets for lease is depreciated on a straight-line basis over 36 months for the units outstanding and recorded as cost of revenues. The Company regularly reviews whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the carrying amounts of assets, may not be recoverable or that the useful life of assets are shorter or longer than originally estimated. The Company assesses the recoverability of its assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related assets over their estimated remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. The Company considers factors such as estimated usage and expected lives of its assets for lease in this analysis. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no impairment indicators. Property and Equipment Capital assets are recorded at cost. The cost of such capital assets is depreciated on a straight-line basis over a term depending on the assigned category (described below) and recorded as depreciation for capital assets recorded in engineering and product development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, capital assets are classified into one of the following categories: Category Name Description Machinery & Equipment Manufacturing, R&D, or other non-office equipment Computer Equipment & Software Software, computers, monitors, printers and other related equipment. Furniture & Fixtures Office equipment and furniture owned by the company At December 31, 2023 and 2022, capital assets are depreciated based on the following estimated useful life for each category: Account Name Useful Life Machinery & Equipment Five years Computer Equipment & Software Three years Furniture & Fixtures Five years The Company regularly reviews whether facts and circumstances exist which indicate that the carrying amounts of capital assets, may not be recoverable or that the useful life of assets are shorter or longer than originally estimated. The Company assesses the recoverability of its assets by comparing the projected fair value of the related asset over the estimated remaining life against the respective carrying amounts. The Company considers factors such as estimated usage and expected lives of its capital assets in this analysis. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no impairment indicators. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or an exit price paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, are described as follows: Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 The financial instruments of the Company consist primarily of cash, U.S. government money market fund accounts, trade receivables, trade payables, short-term investments and debt securities. Because carrying values of cash, trade receivables and payables are equal to or approximate their fair value, the Company excluded these from the leveling requirements. U.S. government money market fund accounts are classified as Level 1 due to their short-term nature, their market interest rates and also based on the fact that they are publicly traded. The Company classifies short-term investments within Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, because quoted prices for identical assets in active markets are used to determine fair value. The Company classifies the ‘On the Run’ Treasury bills within Level 1 and ‘Off the Run Treasury’ bills within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company estimates the fair value of the investment in debt securities using Level 3 inputs. The Company also invested in non-convertible promissory note, prepayment for inventory and equity securities of two privately held companies, which were recorded on cost basis. See Notes 7 and 8 to the financial statements for more information. Investment Valuation The Company’s investments in equity in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values, which are generally recorded at cost, plus or minus subsequent observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments, less impairments. As part of its assessment for impairment indicators, the Company considers significant deterioration in the earnings performance and overall business prospects of the investee as well as significant adverse changes in the external environment these investments operate. If its qualitative assessment indicates the investments are impaired, the fair value of these equity securities would be estimated, which would involve a significant degree of judgment and subjectivity. The Company recorded an impairment of Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue represents amounts billed to or collected from customers for which the related revenues have not been recognized because one or more of the revenue recognition criteria have not been met. The full amount is expected to be recognized as revenues within one year from the balance sheet date and, therefore, such deferred amounts have been classified as current liabilities in the balance sheets presented. The Company generally invoices its clients in advance of a rental period with payment due upon receipt of the invoice. Revenue recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023 from amounts included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 was $1,160. Revenue recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022 from amounts included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 was $921. Research and Development The Company expenses costs related to the research and development associated with the design, development, testing and enhancement of its products and services. Such expenses include salaries and related employee benefits, and fees paid to external service providers. The Company incurred Research and development expenses of $5,421 and $4,407 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation expense is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the stock-based awards. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for the portion of each option grant or stock award that is expected to vest over the estimated period of service and vesting. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the method for determining the estimated grant-date fair value of stock options. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected volatility. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the grant. See Note 15 to financial statements for the details. Employee Benefit Plan The Company has a savings plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Effective January 1, 2022, the Company started to match 50% of employee’s 401(k) deferral up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s eligible earnings. Income Taxes The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences attributable to the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, and they are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse.
