(in thousands, except per share amounts)
Warranty Allowance
The Company provides its customers with limited service warranties associated with product replacement and related services. The warranty typically lasts one year following the installation of the product. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of revenue, are based on the results of product testing, industry and historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred and are adjusted for identified current or anticipated future trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 warranty expense included in cost of revenue was $80 and $164, respectively. Warranty expense included in cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was $388 and $225, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s warranty allowance was $792 and $3,336, respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified a deficiency with batteries contained in certain hardware sold and has included the expected cost of repair and replacement for these batteries in its warranty allowance. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $528 and $3,166 is included in the Company’s warranty allowance related to the cost of remaining repairs for this identified deficiency, respectively.
Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company assessed the provisions of its convertible preferred stock including redemption rights, dividends and voting rights to determine the appropriate classification. The Company determined that its shares of convertible preferred stock are appropriately classified as mezzanine equity because they are contingently redeemable into cash upon the occurrence of an event not solely within the Company’s control. When it is probable that a convertible preferred share will become redeemable, adjustments are recorded to adjust the carrying values. No adjustments have been recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or year ended December 31, 2020. Refer to Note 7 for more information on the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions associated with the convertible preferred stock.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is based on the price 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. Assets and liabilities subject to on-going fair value measurement are categorized and disclosed into one of three categories depending on observable or unobservable inputs employed in the measurement. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy.
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets and liabilities.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the hierarchy based on the fair values of the respective financial measurements at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or year ended December 31, 2020 , respectively. The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives its revenue primarily from sales of systems that consist of hardware devices, professional installation services and hosted services to assist property owners and property managers with visibility and control over assets, while providing all-in-one home control offerings for residents. Revenue is recognized when control of these products and services are transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products and services.
The Company may enter into contracts that may contain multiple distinct performance obligations.
