Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no significant changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 of the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” included in the Annual Report Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the JOBS Act allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies. The Company elected to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The Company did not apply any new accounting policies during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 other than those noted within Recent Accounting Pronouncement Use of Estimates The preparation of 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, management evaluates the estimates and judgments, including those related to the selection of useful lives for tangible assets, expected future cash flows from long-lived assets to support impairment tests, the carrying value of goodwill, provisions necessary for accounts receivables and inventory write downs, provisions for legal disputes, and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions. Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the accounting guidance in ASC 820 for its fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The accounting guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: ● Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. ● Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Available for Sale Financial Asset On May 25, 2022, Advent Technologies S.A (“Advent SA”) and UNI.FUND Mutual Fund (“UNIFUND”) entered into an agreement to finance Cyrus SA (“Cyrus”) with a convertible bond loan (“Bond Loan”) of €1.0 million. As a part of this transaction, Advent SA offered €0.3 million in bond loans with an annual interest rate of 8.00%. The term of the loan is three years and there is a surcharge of 2.5% for overdue interest. Mandatory conversion of the Bond Loan will occur in the event of qualified financing which is equivalent to a share capital increase by Cyrus in the first three years from the execution of the Bond Loan agreement with a total amount over €3 million which is covered by third parties unrelated to the basic shareholders or by investors related to them. The Company classifies the Bond Loan as an available for sale financial asset on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognizes interest income within the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company initially measured the available for sale Bond Loan at the transaction price plus any applicable transaction costs. The Bond Loan is remeasured to its fair value at each reporting period and upon settlement. The estimated fair value of the Bond Loan is determined using Level 3 inputs by using a discounted cash flow model. The change in fair value is recognized within the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The Company did not recognize any unrealized gain / (loss) from the agreement date of May 25, 2022 through June 30, 2022. Warrant Liability As a result of the Business Combination, the Company assumed a warrant liability (the “Warrant Liability”) related to previously issued 3,940,278 1 11.50 400,000 1 11.50 400,000 22,029,279 1 11.50 The following tables summarize the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on Recurring Basis As of June 30, 2022 (unaudited) (Amounts in thousands) Fair Value Unobservable Inputs Assets Available for sale financial asset $ 311 $ 311 $ 311 $ 311 Liabilities Warrant liability $ 2,214 $ 2,214 $ 2,214 $ 2,214 As of December 31, 2021 (Amounts in thousands) Fair Value Unobservable Inputs Liabilities Warrant liability $ 10,373 $ 10,373 $ 10,373 $ 10,373 As of December 31, 2021, the Company did no The carrying amounts of the Company’s remaining financial instruments reflected on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and which consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, net, other current assets, trade and other payables, and other current liabilities, approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. Changes in the fair value of Level 3 liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows: Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability Warrant Liability (Amounts in thousands) For the For the For the For the June 30, Estimated fair value (beginning of period) $ 1,997 $ 23,350 $ 10,373 $ - Estimated fair value of warrant issuance - - - 33,116 Change in estimated fair value 217 (3,646 ) (8,159 ) (13,412 ) Estimated fair value (end of period) $ 2,214 $ 19,704 $ 2,214 $ 19,704 The Warrant Liability is remeasured to its fair value at each reporting period and upon settlement. The change in fair value is recognized in “Fair value change of warrant liability” on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and the Working Capital Warrants (each as defined below) is determined using Level 3 inputs by using the Black-Scholes model. The application of the Black-Scholes model requires the use of a number of inputs and significant assumptions including volatility. Significant judgment is required in determining the expected volatility of our common stock. Due to the limited history of trading of our common stock, we determined expected volatility based on a peer group of publicly traded companies. The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurement inputs as of their measurement date June 30, 2022: Fair Value Measurements Input Stock price $ 2.52 Exercise price (strike price) $ 11.50 Risk-free interest rate 2.95 % Volatility 74.20 % Remaining term (in years) 3.59 The Company performs routine procedures such as comparing prices obtained from independent source to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted during the year: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. In July 2018, ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, was issued to provide more detailed guidance and additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-02. Furthermore, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides an optional transition method in addition to the existing modified retrospective transition method by allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. Additionally, ASU 2019-01, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU 2020-02, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), provided additional clarifications for implementing ASU 2016.02. The new lease standard was originally effective for private entities on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Following the issuance of ASU 2020-05, Effective Dates for Certain Entities (Topic 842), the effective date of Leases was deferred for private entities (the “all other” category) to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early application continues to be permitted which means that an entity may choose to implement Leases before those deferred effective dates. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2022 for its annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and for interim periods within annual periods from January 1, 2023 in accordance with the adoption dates for private entities applicable to it under its emerging growth company status. When the Company presents the adoption of the new lease standard it will use the modified retrospective method. At the time the Company presents its interim consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of 2023, it will adjust the comparative period to reflect the adoption of this standard. Furthermore, the Company elected practical expedients, which allow entities (i) to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases (iii) to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases and (iv) which allows to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component due to its predominant characteristic. The Company expects this standard will have a material effect on its consolidated balance sheets with the recognition of new right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all operating leases longer than one year in duration. The Company estimates both assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet will increase by approximately $ 15.8 In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 “Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance.” This ASU will improve the transparency of government assistance received by most business entities by requiring the disclosure of: (1) the types of government assistance received; (2) the accounting for such assistance; and, (3) the effect of the assistance on a business entity’s financial statements. ASU 2021-10 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early application permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2022 and is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020 for public entities, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2022, does not believe that the standard will have a significant impact on the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted: In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which, amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Furthermore, amendments, ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 provided additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the effect of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements. |
