Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Operations and Use of Estimates iCAD, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company” or “iCAD”) is a provider of advanced image analysis, workflow solutions and radiation therapy for the early identification and treatment of cancer. The Company has grown primarily through acquisitions to become a broad player in the oncology market. Its solutions include advanced image analysis and workflow solutions that enable healthcare professionals to better serve patients by identifying pathologies and pinpointing the most prevalent cancers earlier, a comprehensive range of high-performance, upgradeable Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) systems and workflow solutions for mammography, MRI and CT, and the Xoft System which is an isotope-free cancer treatment platform technology. CAD is reimbursable in the U.S. under federal and most third-party insurance programs. The Company intends to continue the extension of its image analysis and clinical decision support solutions for mammography, MRI and CT imaging. iCAD believes that advances in digital imaging techniques should bolster its efforts to develop additional commercially viable CAD/advanced image analysis and workflow products. The Company’s management believes that early detection in combination with earlier targeted intervention will provide patients and care providers with the best tools available to achieve better clinical outcomes resulting in a market demand that will drive top line growth. The Company’s headquarters are located in Nashua, New Hampshire, with manufacturing and contract manufacturing facilities in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and an operations, research, development, manufacturing and warehousing facility in San Jose, California. The Company operates in two segments: Cancer Detection (“Detection”) and Cancer Therapy (“Therapy”). The Detection segment consists of advanced image analysis and workflow products, and the Therapy segment consists of radiation therapy products. The Company sells its products throughout the world through its direct sales organization as well as through various OEM partners, distributors and resellers. See Note 8 for segment, major customer and geographical information. In January 2018, the Company adopted a plan to discontinue offering radiation therapy professional services to practices that provide the Company’s electronic brachytherapy solution for the treatment of non-melanoma The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes may occur in the near term that would affect management’s estimates with respect to assets and liabilities. (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Xoft, Inc. and Xoft Solutions, LLC. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) Cash and cash equivalents The Company defines cash and cash equivalents as all bank accounts, money market funds, deposits and other money market instruments with original maturities of 90 days or less, which are unrestricted as to withdrawal. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Insurance coverage is $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution, and the Company’s non-interest (d) Financial instruments Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and convertible debentures. Due to their short term nature and market rates of interest, the carrying amounts of the financial instruments, except the convertible debentures, approximated fair value as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The Company has elected to record the convertible debentures at fair value at each reporting date in accordance with the fair value option election. See Note 4(b) for further details. (e) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Credit limits are established through a process of reviewing the financial history and stability of each customer. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company’s policy is to maintain allowances for estimated losses from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company’s senior management reviews accounts receivable on a periodic basis to determine if any receivables may potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that it determines may likely be uncollectible, along with a general reserve for estimated probable losses based on historical experience, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. An amount would be written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect the receivable had failed. Based on the information available, the Company believes the allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 is adequate. The following table summarizes the allowance for doubtful accounts for the three years ended December 31, 2018 (in thousands): 2018 2017 2016 Balance at beginning of period $ 107 $ 172 $ 236 Additions charged to costs and expenses 225 45 177 Reductions (155 ) (110 ) (241 ) Balance at end of period $ 177 $ 107 $ 172 (f) Inventory Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined by the first-in, first-out As of December 31, 2018 2017 Raw materials $ 606 $ 992 Work in process 67 63 Finished Goods 914 1,068 Inventory $ 1,587 $ 2,123 (g) Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term, if shorter, for leasehold improvements (see below). Estimated life Equipment 3-5 years Leasehold improvements 3-5 Furniture and fixtures 3-5 Marketing assets 3-5 (h) Goodwill In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350-20, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” 350-20”), Factors the Company considers important, which could trigger an impairment of such asset, include the following: • significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; • significant changes in the manner or use of the assets or the strategy for the Company’s overall business; • significant negative industry or economic trends; • significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period; and • a decline in the Company’s market capitalization below net book value. The Company records an impairment charge when such assessment indicates that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than the carrying value. In evaluating potential impairments outside of the annual measurement date, judgment is required in determining whether an event has occurred that may impair the value of goodwill or intangible assets. The Company utilizes either discounted cash flow models or other valuation models, such as comparative transactions and market multiples, to determine the fair value of reporting units. The Company makes assumptions about future cash flows, future operating plans, discount rates, comparable companies, market multiples, purchase price premiums and other factors in those models. Different assumptions and judgment determinations could yield different conclusions that would result in an impairment charge to income in the period that such change or determination was made. In January 2018, the Company adopted a plan to discontinue offering radiation therapy professional services to practices that provide the Company’s electronic brachytherapy solution for the treatment of non-melanoma The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04, 2017-04”) 2017-04 As a result of the underperformance of the Therapy reporting unit as compared to expected future results, the Company determined there was a triggering event in the third quarter of 2017. As a result, the Company completed an interim impairment assessment. The interim test resulted in the fair value of the Therapy reporting unit being less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. The fair value of the Therapy reporting unit was $3.5 million and the carrying value was $7.5 million. The deficiency of $4.0 million was recorded as an impairment charge in the third quarter of the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company did not identify a triggering event within the Detection reporting unit and accordingly did not perform an interim test. The Company determines the fair value of reporting units based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted rate. This approach was selected as it measures the income producing assets, primarily technology and customer relationships. This method estimates the fair value based upon the ability to generate future cash flows, which is particularly applicable when future profit margins and growth are expected to vary significantly from historical operating results. The Company uses internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and includes an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on the most recent views of the long-term forecast for the reporting unit. Accordingly, actual results can differ from those assumed in the forecasts. Discount rates are derived from a capital asset pricing model and analyzing published rates for industries relevant to the reporting unit to estimate the cost of equity financing. The Company uses discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective businesses and in the internally developed forecasts. Other significant assumptions include terminal value margin rates, future capital expenditures, and changes in future working capital requirements. While there are inherent uncertainties related to the assumptions used and to the application of these assumptions to this analysis, the income approach provides a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the Therapy reporting unit. The Company performed the annual impairment assessment at October 1, 2018 and compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value as of this date. The fair value exceeded the carrying value for the Detection reporting unit as of the date of this impairment assessment. Goodwill for the Therapy reporting unit was fully impaired as of December 31, 2017. As such, the Company did not record any impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2018. The carrying values of the reporting units were determined based on an allocation of our assets and liabilities through specific allocation of certain assets and liabilities, to the reporting units and an apportionment of the remaining net assets based on the relative size of the reporting units’ revenues and operating expenses compared to the Company as a whole. The determination of reporting units also requires management judgment. The Company determines the fair values for each reporting unit using a weighting of the income approach and the market approach. For purposes of the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted rate. The Company uses internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and includes estimates of long-term future growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term forecast for each segment. Accordingly, actual results can differ from those assumed in our forecasts. Discount rates are derived from a capital asset pricing model and by analyzing published rates for industries relevant to our reporting units to estimate the cost of equity financing. The Company uses discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective businesses and in our internally developed forecasts. In the market approach, the Company uses a valuation technique in which values are derived based on market prices of publicly traded companies with similar operating characteristics and industries. A market approach allows for comparison to actual market transactions and multiples. It can be somewhat limited in its application because the population of potential comparable publicly-traded companies can be limited due to differing characteristics of the comparative business and ours, as well as market data may not be available for divisions within larger conglomerates or non-public The Company corroborates the total fair values of the reporting units using a market capitalization approach; however, this approach cannot be used to determine the fair value of each reporting unit value. The blend of the income approach and market approach is more closely aligned to the business profile of the Company, including markets served and products available. In addition, required rates of return, along with uncertainties inherent in the forecast of future cash flows, are reflected in the selection of the discount rate. In addition, under the blended approach, reasonably likely scenarios and associated sensitivities can be developed for alternative future states that may not be reflected in an observable market price. The Company will assess each valuation methodology based upon the relevance and availability of the data at the time the valuation is performed and weights the methodologies appropriately. A rollforward of goodwill activity by reportable segment is as follows (in thousands): Detection Therapy Total Accumulated Goodwill $ — $ — $ 47,937 Accumulated impairment — — (26,828 ) Fair value allocation 7,663 13,446 — Acquisition of DermEbx and Radion — 6,154 6,154 Acquisition measurement period adjustments — 116 116 Acquisition of VuComp 1,093 — 1,093 Sale of MRI assets (394 ) — (394 ) Impairment — (13,981 ) (13,981 ) Balance at December 31, 2016 8,362 5,735 14,097 Impairment — (5,735 ) (5,735 ) Balance at December 31, 2017 8,362 — 8,362 — — — Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 8,362 $ — $ 8,362 Accumulated Goodwill 699 6,270 49,171 Fair value allocation 7,663 13,446 — Accumulated impairment — (19,716 ) (40,809 ) Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 8,362 $ — $ 8,362 (i) Long Lived Assets In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”, (“ASC 360”), the Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the asset group is less than the carrying value of the asset group. ASC 360-10-35 360-10-35-21, • A significant decrease in the market price of a long-lived asset (asset group); • A significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset (asset group) is being used or in its physical condition; • A significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset (asset group), including an adverse action or assessment by a regulator; • An accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of a long-lived asset (asset group); • A current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset (asset group). In accordance with ASC 360-10-35-17, The Company completed an interim goodwill impairment assessment for the Therapy reporting unit in the third quarter of 2017 and noted that there was an impairment of goodwill. As a result, the Company determined this was a triggering event to review long-lived assets for impairment. The Company determined the “Asset Group” to be the assets of the Therapy segment, which the Company considered to be the lowest level for which the identifiable cash flows were largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the Company completed an analysis pursuant to ASC 360-10-35-17 The Company also completed a goodwill assessment in the fourth quarter of 2017, and in connection with that assessment, the Company completed an analysis pursuant to ASC 360-10-35-17 The Company did not record any impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2016. A considerable amount of judgment and assumptions are required in performing the impairment tests, principally in determining the fair value of the asset group. While the Company believes the judgments and assumptions are reasonable, different assumptions could change the estimated fair values, and, therefore additional impairment charges could be required. Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to the Company’s business, loss of significant customers, inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of the assets may adversely impact the assumptions used in the fair value estimates and ultimately result in future impairment charges. Intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of patents, technology, customer relationships and trade names purchased in the Company’s previous acquisitions. These assets, which include assets from the acquisition of the assets of VuComp, DermEbx and Radion and the acquisition of Xoft, Inc., are amortized on a straight-line basis consistent with the pattern of economic benefit over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 15 years. A summary of intangible assets for 2018 and 2017 are as follows (in thousands): 2018 2017 Weighted Gross Carrying Amount Patents and licenses $ 571 $ 556 5 years Technology 8,257 8,257 10 years Customer relationships 272 292 7 years Tradename 259 259 10 years Total amortizable intangible assets 9,359 9,364 Accumulated Amortization Patents and licenses $ 511 $ 503 Technology 6,958 6,610 Customer relationships 81 61 Tradename 259 259 Total accumulated amortization 7,809 7,433 Total amortizable intangible assets, net $ 1,550 $ 1,931 Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $383,000, $494,000 and $983,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. Estimated remaining amortization of the Company’s intangible assets is as follows (in thousands): For the years ended December 31: Estimated 2019 $ 422 2020 304 2021 226 2022 297 2023 100 Thereafter 201 $ 1,550 (j) Revenue Recognition Revenue Recognition Upon Adoption of ASC 606 On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and all the related amendments (“Topic 606”), using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. For contracts that were modified before the effective date, the Company reflected the aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying performance obligations and allocating transaction price in accordance with practical expedient ASC 606-10-65-1-(f)-4, We recorded a net increase to opening retained earnings of $0.1 million as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting Topic 606, with the impact primarily related to the deferral of commissions on our long-term service arrangements and warranty periods greater than one year, which previously were expensed as incurred but, under the amendments to ASC 340-40, The cumulative effect of the changes made to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet for the adoption of Topic 606 were as follows (in thousands): Selected Balance Sheet Balance at Adjustments Due to ASU 2014-09 Balance at Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 1,100 $ 147 $ 1,247 Liabilities Deferred revenue — 408 408 Contract liabilities 5,910 (369 ) 5,541 Stockholders’ equity Accumulated deficit (201,865 ) 108 (201,973 ) In accordance with the requirements of the new standard, the disclosure of the impact of the adoption on our consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations was as follows (in thousands): As of December 31, 2018 Selected Balance Sheet As Reported Balances without Effect of Change Assets Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 1,045 $ 763 $ (282 ) Liabilities Accrued expenses 5,060 5,060 — Deferred revenue 287 287 — Contract liabilities 5,209 5,209 — Deferred tax 3 2 (1 ) Stockholders’ equity Accumulated deficit (210,774 ) (211,056 ) (282 ) The impact to revenues as a result of applying Topic 606 for the year ended December 31, 2018 was an increase of $116,000 (table in thousands). Year ended December 31, 2018 Selected Statement of Operations As Reported Balances without Effect of Change Revenue Products $ 13,111 $ 12,944 $ 167 Service and supplies 12,510 12,561 (51 ) Cost of revenue Products 2,161 2,161 — Service and supplies 3,627 3,627 — Operating expenses Marketing and sales 8,693 8,975 (282 ) Interest expense (504 ) (504 ) — Other income 110 110 — Tax benefit (expense) 42 42 — Net loss (9,017 ) (9,415 ) (398 ) In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services and excludes any sales incentives or taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to government authorities. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five steps: 1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer 2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract 3) Determine the transaction price 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract 5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation The Company recognizes revenue from its contracts with customers primarily from the sale of products and from the sale of services and supplies. Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For product revenue, control has transferred upon shipment provided title and risk of loss have passed to the customer. Services and supplies are considered to be transferred as the services are performed or over the term of the service or supply agreement. The Company enters into contracts that can include various combinations of products and services, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. The Company’s hardware is generally highly dependent on, and interrelated with, the underlying software and the software is considered essential to the functionality of the product. In these cases, the hardware and software license are accounted for as a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when ownership is transferred to the customer. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control of a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of revenue. The Company continues to provide for estimated warranty costs on original product warranties at the time of sale. Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables presents our revenues disaggregated by major good or service line, timing of revenue recognition and sales channel, reconciled to our reportable segments (in thousands). Year ended December 31, 2018 Reportable Segments Detection Therapy Total Major Goods/Service Lines Products $ 10,783 $ 4,393 $ 15,176 Service contracts 5,311 1,450 6,761 Supply and source usage agreements — 2,261 2,261 Professional services — 264 264 Other 229 389 618 $ 16,323 $ 8,757 $ 25,080 Timing of Revenue Recognition Goods transferred at a point in time $ 10,835 $ 4,676 $ 15,511 Services transferred over time 5,488 4,081 9,569 $ 16,323 $ 8,757 $ 25,080 Sales Channels Direct sales force $ 8,335 $ 7,554 $ 15,889 OEM partners 7,988 — 7,988 Channel partners — 1,203 1,203 $ 16,323 $ 8,757 $ 25,080 Total Revenue Revenue from contracts with customers $ 16,323 $ 8,757 $ 25,080 Revenue from lease components 541 — 541 $ 16,864 $ 8,757 $ 25,621 Year ended December 31, 2017(1) Reportable Segments Detection Therapy Total Major Goods/Service Lines Products $ 11,650 $ 4,763 $ 16,413 Service contracts 5,687 1,482 7,169 Supply and source usage agreements — 1,956 1,956 Professional services — 254 254 Other 388 1,337 1,725 $ 17,725 $ 9,792 $ 27,517 Timing of Revenue Recognition Goods transferred at a point in time 11,684 5,266 $ 16,814 Services transferred over time 6,041 4,526 10,703 $ 17,725 $ 9,792 $ 27,517 Sales Channels Direct sales force $ 7,787 $ 8,354 $ 16,141 OEM partners 9,938 — 9,938 Channel partners — 1,438 1,438 $ 17,725 $ 9,792 $ 27,517 Total Revenue Revenue from contracts with customers $ 17,725 $ 9,792 $ 27,517 Revenue from lease components 585 — 585 $ 18,310 $ 9,792 $ 28,102 (1) As noted above, prior period amounts have not been adjusted under the modified retrospective method. Products Service Contracts non-lease Supply and Source Usage Agreements Professional Services Other Significant Judgments The Company’s contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For arrangements with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers and uses a range of amounts to estimate standalone selling prices when we sell each of the products and services separately and need to determine whether there is a discount that needs to be allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices of the various products and services. The Company typically has more than one range of standalone selling prices for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers and circumstances. In these instances, the Company may use information such as the type of customer and geographic region in determining the range of standalone selling prices. The Company may provide credits or incentives to customers, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the transaction price of the contract and amounts of revenue to recognize. The amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price is estimated at contract inception using either the estimated value method or the most likely amount method based on the nature of the variable consideration. These estimates are updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available and revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any amounts of variable consideration included in the transaction price will not occur. The Company provides for estimated warranty costs on original product warranties at the time of sale. Contract Balances Contract liabilities are a component of deferred revenue, and contract assets are a component of prepaid and other current assets. The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands). Balance at Receivables, which are included in ‘Trade accounts receivable’ $ 6,252 Contract assets, which are included in “Prepaid and other current assets” 19 Contract liabilities, which are included in “Deferred revenue” 5,209 Timing of revenue recognition may differ from timing of invoicing to customers. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to receipt of cash payments and the Company has the unconditional right to such consideration, or unearned revenue when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance. For multi-year agreements, the Company generally invoices customers annually at the beginning of each annual service period. The opening balance of accounts receivable from contracts with customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $8.5 million as of January 1, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, was $6.3 million. The Company records a contract asset for unbilled revenue when the Company’s performance is in excess of amounts billed or billable. The Company has classified the contract asset balance as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets as of January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. The opening balance of contract assets was $166,000 as of January 1, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the contract asset balance was $19,000. Deferred revenue from contracts with customers is primarily composed of fees related to long-term service arrangements, which are generally billed in advance. Deferred revenue also includes payments for installation and training that has not yet been completed and other offerings for which we have been paid in advance and earn the revenue when we transfer control of the product or service. Deferred revenue from contracts with customers is included in deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheet also includes $369,000 and $287,000 at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, respectively of amounts associated with service contracts accounted for under Topic 840. The balance of deferred revenue at December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018 is as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2017 Contract Lease revenue Total Short term $ 5,044 $ 360 $ 5,404 Long term 497 9 506 Total $ 5,541 $ 369 $ 5,910 December 31, 2018 Contract Lease revenue Total Short term $ 4,885 $ 280 $ 5,165 Long term 324 7 331 Total $ 5,209 $ 287 $ 5,496 Changes in deferred revenue from contracts with customers were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended Balance at beginning of period $ 5,541 Adoption adjustment 39 Deferral of revenue 9,993 Recognition of deferred revenue (10,364 ) Balance at end of period $ 5,209 We expect to recognize approximately $4.9 million of the deferred amount in 2019, $0.2 million in 2020, and $0.1 million thereafter. Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. We have determined that certain commissions programs meet the requirements to be capitalized. The opening balance of capitalized costs to obtain a contract was $117,000 as of January 1, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the balance of capitalized costs to obtain a contract was $282,000. The Company has classified the capitalized costs to obtain a contract as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets as of January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018. Changes in the balance of capitalized costs to obtain a contract were as follows (in thousands): Year Ended Balance at beginning of period $ 117 Deferral of costs to obtain a contract 368 Recognition of costs to obtain a contract (203 ) Balance at end of period $ 282 Practical Expedients and Exemptions The Company has elected to make the following accounting policy elections through the adoption of the following practical expedients: Right to Invoice Where applicable, the Company will recognize revenue from a contract with a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s performance completed to date and the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. Sales and Other Similar Taxes The Company will exclude sales taxes and similar taxes from the measurement of transaction price and will en |
