Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial reporting and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date, but certain notes or other information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to instructions, rules and regulations prescribed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, balance sheet, and cash flows. Interim results should not be regarded as indicative of results that may be expected for any other period or the entire year. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be anticipated for the entire year ending December 31, 2023 or thereafter. All references to September 30, 2023 and 2022 in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements upon consolidation. Liquidity and going concern The Company has prepared its condensed consolidated financial statements assuming that it will continue as a going concern. Since its inception, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $443.1 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $15.8 million and $66.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $13.3 million and $38.7 million, respectively. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had net cash outflows from operating activities of $45.9 million and $34.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $53.3 million of cash and working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $14.9 million. The Company expects to incur additional operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities as it continues to expand its commercial operations and research and development programs. On April 13, 2023, (the "Closing Date") the Company entered into the Term Loan and Security Agreement (the "Term Loan"), by and between the Co mpany and PSPIB Unitas Investments II Inc. ("PSPIB" or the "Lender"), a related party to the Company's largest shareholder. As further described in Note 7 - Loans payable, the Term Loan provides for an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million to be made available to the Company in three tranches, subject to certain terms and conditions as defined in the Term Loan, including a financial covenant that measures the Company's revenue against certain minimum percentages of budgeted revenue per quarter. The first two tranches of the Term Loan, each amounting to $15.0 million in principal, were advanced to D-Wave on April 14, 2023 and July 13, 2023, respectively. The Lender agreed to modify certain conditions to the funding of the second tranche of the Term Loan, including delaying the delivery of a board-approved operating budget and plan for the Company’s fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to August 31, 2023 (later extended to December 31, 2023); modifying the condition that, prior to the funding of the second tranche,the Company shall have nominated an additional director that is either an employee of PSPIB or an independent director selected from PSPIB nominees to require such appointment at a later time at PSPIB’s option; and modifying notice deadline requirements for the r egistration or filings of intellectual property. PSPIB has also agreed to waive certain covenants under the Term Loan that the Company did not meet, including the minimum revenue financial covenant for the second and third fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively. The availability of the third tranche of $20.0 million is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the closing of a $25.0 million non-dilutive financing on terms reasonably acceptable to the Lender, the intellectual property valuation report submitted as a condition precedent to the second tranche remaining satisfactory to the Lender and the board-approved operating budget for 2023 through 2027 to be submitted by December 31, 2023, being satisfactory to the Lender. The deadline to provide the operating budget was extended to December 31, 2023 from August 31, 2023 by the fourth amendment to the Term Loan dated October 6, 2023. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet the conditions necessary to draw on the third tranche or will be able to comply with the covenants of the Term Loan, or that PSPIB will agree to waive covenants under the Term Loan in the future. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company and D-Wave Systems entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park on June 16, 2022 (the "Purchase Agreement" or the "Purchase Agreement") which provides D-Wave the sole right, but not the obligation, to direct Lincoln Park to buy specified dollar amounts up to $150 million of D-Wave's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Shares") through November 1, 2025. The Purchase Agreement may provide the Company and D-Wave with additional liquidity to fund the business, subject to the conditions set forth in the agreement, including volume limitations tied to periodic market prices, ownership limitations restricting Lincoln Park from owning more than 9.9% of the then total outstanding Common Shares and a floor price of $1.00 at or below which the Company may not sell to Lincoln Park any Common Shares. When the Company sells shares to Lincoln Park, Lincoln Park may resell all, some, or none of those Common Shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has received $61.3 million in proceeds through the issuance of 39,487,104 Common Shares to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. In order for the Company to issue Common Shares under the Purchase Agreement, the Company's share price must be above the floor price of $1.00 per share. There is no assurance that the floor price will not fall below $1.00 preventing the Company from being able to make sales to Lincoln Park in the future. To the extent that sufficient capital is not obtained through the cash received in connection with the proceeds of the Term Loan or the issuance of Common Shares under the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, management will be required to obtain additional capital through the issuance of debt and/or equity, or other arrangements. However, there can be no assurance that D-Wave will be able to raise additional capital when needed or under acceptable terms. The issuance of additional equity may dilute existing stockholders and newly issued shares may contain senior rights and preferences compared to the currently outstanding common stock. Any future debt may contain covenants and limit D-Wave’s ability to pay dividends or make other distributions to stockholders. If D-Wave is unable to obtain additional financing, operations will be scaled back or discontinued. The Company is not currently in compliance with, and may be unable to regain and/or maintain compliance with, certain continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). If the Company is unable to cure any event of noncompliance with any continued listing standard of the NYSE within the applicable timeframe and other parameters set forth by the NYSE, or if the Company fails to maintain compliance with certain continued listing standards that do not provide for a cure period, it will result in the delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE, which could negatively impact the trading price, trading volume and liquidity of, and have other material adverse effects on, the Company’s common stock and its ability to raise capital. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, “ Basis of Presentation—Going Concern” , management has determined that the Company's liquidity condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which is considered to be for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Such adjustments could be material. Use of estimates The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors 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 and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates as there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. The Company’s accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment due to inflation, increased interest rates, Ukraine/Russia conflict, the Israel-Hamas War, and any evolutions thereof. The change could be material in future periods. As of the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstances that would require the Company to update estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of any assets or liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions. Debt The Company determined that it is eligible for the fair value option election in connection with the Term Loan. The Term Loan meets the definition of a “recognized financial liability” which is an acceptable financial instrument eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10-15-4 and does not meet the definition of any of the financial instruments found within ASC 825-10-15-5 that are not eligible for the fair value option. At the date of issuance, the fair value of the Term Loan is derived from the instrument’s implied discount rate at inception. Changes in the fair value of the Term Loan, other than changes associated with the Company's own credit risk, are recorded as gains or losses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period. Changes in fair value attributable to the Company's own credit risk are recorded in other comprehensive income or loss in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in each reporting period; there have been no such changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Under the fair value option, debt issuance costs are recorded in other expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Term Loan is subject to certain repayment and prepayment provisions which the Company has considered in their valuation analysis. The valuation analysis performed as of the issuance date on April 13, 2023 and September 30, 2023 did not consider any amendments to the Term Loan that occurred subsequent to September 30, 2023 (See Note 7). A Monte Carlo simulation model was utilized to forecast the probability of the issuance of Common Shares under the Purchase Agreement to determine the estimated proceeds to be paid to the Lender along with a mandatory prepayment premium of 10% . Additionally, the Company estimated the probability for an event of default in the valuation analysis which would result in a mandatory prepayment of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest. A binomial lattice model was utilized to determine the impact on the valuation of optional prepayments, in the event a mandatory prepayment does not occur. The Company assessed the fair value of the Term Loan at issuance date and as of September 30, 2023 resulting in unrealized gains of $1.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Fair value of financial instruments Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) 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. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable: • Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques. The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. The Company carries its marketable investments at cost, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments by the same issuer, as they represent investments in privately held companies for which there are no quoted market prices. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying values of the Company's marketable investments were $1.2 million, respectively, and were reported in other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands): Description Level September 30, 2023 Liabilities: Warrant Liabilities – Public Warrants 1 $ 1,091 Warrant Liabilities – Private Placement Warrants 2 $ 880 Term Loan 3 $ 29,800 The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrants was used as the fair value of the Warrants as of each relevant date. The subsequent measurements of the Public Warrants after the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units are classified as Level 1 fair value measurements due to the use of an observable market quote in an active market. The subsequent measurements of the Private Warrants after the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements due to the use of an observable market quote for the Public Warrants, which are considered to be a similar asset in an active market. As of September 30, 2023, the liabilities for the Warrants were calculated by multiplying the quoted market price per DPCM Public Warrant of $0.11 by the 17,916,606 Warrants outstanding (see Note 8). The Company elected the fair value option for its Term Loan. This liability is deemed to be a Level 3 valuation. The Company adjusts the Term Loan to fair value with adjustments recorded in change in fair value of Term Loan on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Government assistance The Company receives various forms of government assistance including (i) government grants (ii) investment credits, and (iii) government loans, for research and development initiatives from Canadian government agencies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded Scientific Research and Experimental Development (“SR&ED") investment tax credits of nil and $0.1 million, respectively, as an offset to its research and development expenses in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Upon entering into the Transaction Agreement on February 7, 2022, the Company is no longer a Canadian Controlled Private Corporation. As a result, beginning February 7, 2022, SR&ED investment tax credits can be applied to reduce income taxes payable to the Canadian government and any such investment tax credits that are not realized will be reflected as investment tax credit carryforwards. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company did not record any SR&ED investment tax credits. Recent accounting pronouncements issued and adopted No recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted have had a material effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted No other recently issued accounting pronouncements or effective during 2023 had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. |
