Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 2 – Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s prospectus related to the Company’s initial public offering, dated October 27, 2016 (the “Prospectus”), pursuant to Rule 424 (b) under the Securities Act of 1933. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the condensed consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are unaudited. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with that used to prepare the audited annual consolidated financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary for the fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2016. There have been no significant changes in the accounting policies from those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes presented in the Prospectus. Reverse stock split On October 12, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. All share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, have been adjusted retrospectively, where applicable, to reflect this reverse stock split. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Business combinations The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Purchase accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business generally being recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company performs valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocates the purchase price to its respective assets and liabilities. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. The Company engages the assistance of valuation specialists in concluding on fair value measurements in connection with determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Intangible assets Intangible assets primarily consist of acquired developed technology, customer relationships, trade name and non-complete agreements which were acquired as part of the Company’s acquisitions of BlackLine Systems, Inc in September 2013 and Runbook Company B.V. (“Runbook”) in August 2016. The Company determines the appropriate useful life of its intangible assets by performing an analysis of expected cash flows of the acquired assets. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets are as follows: Useful Lives Trade name 1 - 10 years Developed technology 6 - 8 years Non-compete agreements 2 - 5 years Customer relationships 8 - 10 years Segments Management has determined that the Company has one operating segment. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on a consolidated and aggregate basis, together with certain operating metrics principally to make decisions about how to allocate resources and to measure the Company’s performance. Fair value of financial instruments ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following: Level 1 : Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 : Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities. Level 3 : Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carry value of long-term debt, excluding related debt discounts, approximates its fair value based on rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands): September 30, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 14,470 $ — $ — $ 14,470 Total Assets $ 14,470 $ — $ — $ 14,470 Liabilities Common stock warrant liability $ — $ — $ 5,200 $ 5,200 Contingent consideration — — 5,145 5,145 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 10,345 $ 10,345 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 15,990 $ — $ — $ 15,990 Total Assets 15,990 $ — $ — $ 15,990 Liabilities Common stock warrant liability $ — $ — $ 5,500 $ 5,500 Contingent consideration — — 4,867 4,867 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 10,367 $ 10,367 There were no changes to the valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The following table summarizes the changes in the common stock warrant liability and contingent consideration liability (in thousands) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015: Contingent Common Stock Consideration Warrant Liability Fair value as of June 30, 2016 $ 5,010 $ 5,200 Change in fair value 135 — Fair value as of September 30, 2016 $ 5,145 $ 5,200 Contingent Common Stock Consideration Warrant Liability Fair value as of June 30, 2015 $ 4,852 $ 5,330 Change in fair value 13 (80 ) Fair value as of September 30, 2015 $ 4,865 $ 5,250 Contingent Common Stock Consideration Warrant Liability Fair value as of December 31, 2015 $ 4,867 $ 5,500 Change in fair value 278 (300 ) Fair value as of September 30, 2016 $ 5,145 $ 5,200 Contingent Common Stock Consideration Warrant Liability Fair value as of December 31, 2014 $ 4,826 $ 5,080 Change in fair value 39 170 Fair value as of September 30, 2015 $ 4,865 $ 5,250 Net loss per share Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. As the Company has net losses for the periods presented all potentially dilutive common stock, which are comprised of stock options and warrants, are antidilutive. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the following potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because they are anti-dilutive: September 30, 2016 2015 Options to purchase common stock 5,246,516 5,797,676 Common stock warrants 499,999 499,999 Total shares excluded from net loss per share 5,746,515 6,297,675 Comprehensive income or loss ASC 220, Comprehensive Income Recently issued accounting standards Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company. The Company has irrevocably elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective and this guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (i.e., full retrospective adoption) or with the cumulative effect of initially applying the update recognized at the date of the initial application (i.e., modified retrospective adoption) along with additional disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date to January 1, 2018, with early adoption beginning January 1, 2017. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued additional amendments to the new revenue guidance relating to reporting revenue on a gross versus net basis, identifying performance obligations and licensing arrangements, and other narrow scope improvements. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and has not selected the method of adoption. In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which significantly changes the accounting for leases. The new guidance requires a lessee recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For income statement purposes, the new guidance retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or financing. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern similar to existing capital lease guidance. For statement of cash flow purposes, the new guidance also retained the existing dual method, where cash payments for operating leases are reflected in cash flows from operating activities and principal and interest payments for finance leases are reflected in cash flows from financing activities and cash flows from operating activities, respectively. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance requires the recognition and measurement of leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The use of the modified retrospective approach allows an entity to use a number of practical expedients in the application of this new guidance. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify various aspects relating to accounting for stock-based compensation and related tax impacts, the classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, statutory tax withholding requirements and other stock based compensation classification matters. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. All of the amendments in the new guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company plans to adopt this guidance during the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, and the Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued cash flow guidance which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice, including presentation of cash flows relating to contingent consideration payments, debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs, among other matters. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If adopted in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The adoption of this guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented, unless impracticable to do so. The Company’s planned adoption of this guidance during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 is not expected to impact previously reported cash flows. In November 2016, the Company paid debt prepayment costs of $0.7 million associated with the termination of its credit facility which will be presented as a financing cash outflow in the statement of cash flows for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016. In November 2016, the which requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years and should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. 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 Company has not yet determined the timing of adoption.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination	Note 3 – Business combination On August 31, 2016, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Runbook, a Netherlands-based provider of financial close automation software and integration solutions for SAP. The purpose of the acquisition was to enhance the Company’s position as a leading provider of software solutions to automate the financial close process for SAP customers and supports the Company’s European expansion strategy. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under GAAP. The total purchase consideration was approximately $34.1 million, subject to a final working capital adjustment, which was paid in cash. Upon the finalization of the working capital adjustment, the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill may change. A portion of the purchase price of $3.1 million was paid into escrow for indemnification obligations relating to potential breach of representations and warranties of the sellers and any amounts remaining in escrow after satisfaction of any resolved claims, will be released from escrow on the one-year anniversary of the acquisition. Acquisition related costs incurred by the Company of approximately $1.4 million were expensed as incurred. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in thousands): Total consideration to selling shareholders $ 34,052 Assets acquired and liabilities assumed Cash and cash equivalents 2,564 Accounts receivable 2,593 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 718 Property and equipment 427 Intangible assets 9,790 Accounts payable (285 ) Accrued expenses and other current liabilities (376 ) Deferred revenues (489 ) Net deferred income tax liabilities (2,787 ) Net assets 12,155 Goodwill $ 21,897 The Company believes the amount of goodwill resulting from the acquisition is primarily attributable to expected synergies from assembled workforce, an increase in development capabilities, increased offerings to customers, and enhanced opportunities for growth and innovation. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is not tax deductible. To determine the estimated fair value of intangible assets acquired, the Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist management. The fair value measurements of the intangible assets were based primarily on significant unobservable inputs and thus represent a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. The acquired intangible asset categories, fair value and amortization periods, are as follows (in thousands): Amortization Period Fair Value Trade name 1 year 20 Developed technology 8 years 5,710 Non-compete agreements 2 years 180 Customer relationships 10 years 3,880 Total 9,790 The weighted average lives of intangible assets at the acquisition date was 8.7 years. Pro forma information The following table presents the Company’s pro forma total revenues, pro forma net loss and pro forma net loss per share, basic and diluted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2015 (in thousands): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Pro forma total revenues $ 33,808 $ 22,656 $ 92,856 $ 62,117 Pro forma net loss (5,535 ) (7,337 ) (23,391 ) (19,314 ) Pro forma net loss per share, basic and diluted (0.14 ) (0.18 ) (0.57 ) (0.48 ) The pro forma results reflect certain adjustments for the depreciation and amortization of the fair values of the intangible assets acquired, adjustments to revenue resulting from the fair value adjustment to deferred revenue, acquisition related costs, and related tax adjustments. Such pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred had the acquisition been completed on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of the Company.

Term loan, net	Note 6 – Term loan, net In March 2016, the Company amended its credit facility to add an additional $5.0 million term loan (the “2016 Term Loan”) and provide for a $5.0 million revolving line of credit. In August 2016, the Company entered into a third amendment to its credit facility to add an additional $30.0 million term loan (the “2016 Acquisition Term Loan”) to fund the acquisition of Runbook. The additional $5.0 million borrowing under the 2016 Term Loan, $30.0 million under the 2016 Acquisition Term Loan and the revolving line of credit each mature in September 2018. The 2016 Term Loan and 2016 Acquisition Term Loan each bears interest at (i) the greater of LIBOR or 1.5% plus (ii) 8% and can be paid in varying amounts in cash or in kind. The revolving line of credit bears interest at (i) the greater of LIBOR or 0.5% plus (ii) 6%. The Company is also required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the unused portion of the revolving line of credit. No amounts were outstanding under the revolving line of credit at September 30, 2016. The net carrying value of the Company’s borrowings under its term loans as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consists of the following (in thousands): September 30, December 31, 2016 2015 Principal amount (including interest paid in kind) $ 66,418 $ 29,648 Unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount (1,035 ) (627 ) Unamortized common stock warrant liability discount (547 ) (754 ) Net carrying value $ 64,836 $ 28,267 The credit facility is collateralized against all of the Company’s assets. In connection with certain events, including a change in control, or if the Company elects to repay the amounts outstanding under the term loans, the Company is required to pay a prepayment penalty. In November 2016, the Company repaid the entire amounts owed under the credit facility, including prepayment penalty, and terminated the credit facility. See Note 10, “Subsequent events.”

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and contingencies	Note 7 – Commitments and contingencies Operating Leases - The Company has various non-cancelable operating leases for its corporate and international offices. These leases expire at various times through 2023. Certain lease agreements contain renewal options, rent abatement, and escalation clauses and entitle the Company to receive a tenant allowance from the landlord. The Company records tenant allowances as a deferred rent credit, which the Company amortizes on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of rent expense, over the term of the underlying lease. Contingent Consideration - On September 3, 2013, BlackLine Systems, Inc. was acquired by BlackLine, Inc. (the “Acquisition”). In conjunction with the Acquisition, option holders of BlackLine Systems, Inc. were allowed to cancel their stock option rights and receive a cash payment equal to the amount of calculated gain (less applicable expense and other items) had they exercised their stock options and then sold their common shares as part of the Acquisition. As a condition of the Acquisition, the Company is required to pay additional cash consideration to certain equity holders if the Company realizes a tax benefit from the use of net operating losses generated from the stock option exercises concurrent with the Acquisition. The maximum contingent cash consideration to be distributed is $8.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $5.1 and $4.9 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Litigation - From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings, nor is it aware of any pending or threatened litigation, that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition should such litigation be resolved unfavorably. Indemnification - In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, investors, directors and officers with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of our breach of such agreements, services to be provided by the Company, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. These indemnification provisions may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is indeterminable. The Company has never paid a material claim, nor have it been sued in connection with these indemnification arrangements. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company has not accrued a liability for these indemnification arrangements because the likelihood of incurring a payment obligation, if any, in connection with these indemnification arrangements is not probable or reasonably estimable.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 9 – Income taxes The Company uses an effective tax rate approach for calculating its tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 34% primarily because of state taxes, net of federal benefit, and valuation allowance for U.S. federal and state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% primarily as a result of state taxes, net of federal benefit, foreign taxes and a valuation allowance on State of California net deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to the extent that realization of the deferred tax assets, including consideration of its deferred tax liabilities, is not more likely than not. For the year ending December 31, 2016, for both federal and state income taxes, the Company’s deferred assets are estimated to exceed its deferred tax liabilities and because of the Company’s recent history of operating losses the Company believes that the realization of the deferred tax assets is currently not more likely than not. Accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its federal and state deferred tax assets. Taxes for international operations are not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. As a result of the acquisition of Runbook, the Company recorded $0.4 million of federal and state deferred tax liabilities and released a corresponding amount of its valuation allowance on federal and state deferred tax assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Reserve Stock Split	Reverse stock split On October 12, 2016, the Company effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock. All share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, have been adjusted retrospectively, where applicable, to reflect this reverse stock split.
Use of Estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Business Combinations	Business combinations The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition. Purchase accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business generally being recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred, and are included in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company performs valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocates the purchase price to its respective assets and liabilities. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgment and estimates including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, discount rates and selection of comparable companies. The Company engages the assistance of valuation specialists in concluding on fair value measurements in connection with determining fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination.
Intangible Assets	Intangible assets Intangible assets primarily consist of acquired developed technology, customer relationships, trade name and non-complete agreements which were acquired as part of the Company’s acquisitions of BlackLine Systems, Inc in September 2013 and Runbook Company B.V. (“Runbook”) in August 2016. The Company determines the appropriate useful life of its intangible assets by performing an analysis of expected cash flows of the acquired assets. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets are as follows: Useful Lives Trade name 1 - 10 years Developed technology 6 - 8 years Non-compete agreements 2 - 5 years Customer relationships 8 - 10 years
Segments	Segments Management has determined that the Company has one operating segment. The Company’s chief executive officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker, reviews financial information on a consolidated and aggregate basis, together with certain operating metrics principally to make decisions about how to allocate resources and to measure the Company’s performance.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair value of financial instruments ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following: Level 1 : Quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities. Level 2 : Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities. Level 3 : Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carry value of long-term debt, excluding related debt discounts, approximates its fair value based on rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities. The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 by level within the fair value hierarchy. Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement (in thousands): September 30, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 14,470 $ — $ — $ 14,470 Total Assets $ 14,470 $ — $ — $ 14,470 Liabilities Common stock warrant liability $ — $ — $ 5,200 $ 5,200 Contingent consideration — — 5,145 5,145 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 10,345 $ 10,345 December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash equivalents Money market funds $ 15,990 $ — $ — $ 15,990 Total Assets 15,990 $ — $ — $ 15,990 Liabilities Common stock warrant liability $ — $ — $ 5,500 $ 5,500 Contingent consideration — — 4,867 4,867 Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 10,367 $ 10,367 There were no changes to the valuation techniques used to measure asset and liability fair values on a recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The following table summarizes the changes in the common stock warrant liability and contingent consideration liability (in thousands) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015: Contingent Common Stock Consideration Warrant Liability Fair value as of June 30, 2016 $ 5,010 $ 5,200 Change in fair value 135 — Fair value as of September 30, 2016 $ 5,145 $ 5,200 Contingent Common Stock Consideration Warrant Liability Fair value as of June 30, 2015 $ 4,852 $ 5,330 Change in fair value 13 (80 ) Fair value as of September 30, 2015 $ 4,865 $ 5,250 Contingent Common Stock Consideration Warrant Liability Fair value as of December 31, 2015 $ 4,867 $ 5,500 Change in fair value 278 (300 ) Fair value as of September 30, 2016 $ 5,145 $ 5,200 Contingent Common Stock Consideration Warrant Liability Fair value as of December 31, 2014 $ 4,826 $ 5,080 Change in fair value 39 170 Fair value as of September 30, 2015 $ 4,865 $ 5,250
Net Loss Per Share	Net loss per share Basic and diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. As the Company has net losses for the periods presented all potentially dilutive common stock, which are comprised of stock options and warrants, are antidilutive. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the following potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because they are anti-dilutive: September 30, 2016 2015 Options to purchase common stock 5,246,516 5,797,676 Common stock warrants 499,999 499,999 Total shares excluded from net loss per share 5,746,515 6,297,675
Comprehensive Income or Loss	Comprehensive income or loss ASC 220, Comprehensive Income
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently issued accounting standards Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company. The Company has irrevocably elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. Under this guidance, revenue is recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The updated standard will replace all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP when it becomes effective and this guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (i.e., full retrospective adoption) or with the cumulative effect of initially applying the update recognized at the date of the initial application (i.e., modified retrospective adoption) along with additional disclosures. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date to January 1, 2018, with early adoption beginning January 1, 2017. In March, April and May 2016, the FASB issued additional amendments to the new revenue guidance relating to reporting revenue on a gross versus net basis, identifying performance obligations and licensing arrangements, and other narrow scope improvements. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and has not selected the method of adoption. In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement, which provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. This guidance was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance which significantly changes the accounting for leases. The new guidance requires a lessee recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For income statement purposes, the new guidance retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or financing. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern similar to existing capital lease guidance. For statement of cash flow purposes, the new guidance also retained the existing dual method, where cash payments for operating leases are reflected in cash flows from operating activities and principal and interest payments for finance leases are reflected in cash flows from financing activities and cash flows from operating activities, respectively. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The new guidance requires the recognition and measurement of leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The use of the modified retrospective approach allows an entity to use a number of practical expedients in the application of this new guidance. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify various aspects relating to accounting for stock-based compensation and related tax impacts, the classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, statutory tax withholding requirements and other stock based compensation classification matters. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. All of the amendments in the new guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company plans to adopt this guidance during the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, and the Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2016, the FASB issued cash flow guidance which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice, including presentation of cash flows relating to contingent consideration payments, debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs, among other matters. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If adopted in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The adoption of this guidance should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented, unless impracticable to do so. The Company’s planned adoption of this guidance during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016 is not expected to impact previously reported cash flows. In November 2016, the Company paid debt prepayment costs of $0.7 million associated with the termination of its credit facility which will be presented as a financing cash outflow in the statement of cash flows for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2016. In November 2016, the which requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years and should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. 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 Company has not yet determined the timing of adoption.
