Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Use of Estimates 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, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. 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. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Xoft, Inc., Xoft Solutions, LLC, and iCAD France, LLC. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Risk and Uncertainty On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19. COVID-19 return to prior levels. The COVID-19 COVID-19 COVID-19; March 2022 COVID-19 Although the Company did not see any material impact to trade accounts receivable losses in the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s exposure may increase if its customers are adversely affected by changes in healthcare laws, coverage, and reimbursement, economic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions, disruption associated with the current COVID-19 COVID-19 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 and which are unrestricted as to timing or method of withdrawal. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000 per depositor. Historically, the Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances Financial instruments Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable, accrued and other expenses and notes payable. Due to their short-term nature and market rates of interest, the carrying amounts of the financial instruments approximated fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Credit limits are initially established through a process of reviewing the financial history and stability of each customer and the Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Included in accounts receivable at December 31, 2021 are unbilled receivables of approximately $0.4 million which are scheduled t o The Company’s policy is to maintain allowances for potential losses resulting from the inability of a portion 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 allowance for doubtful accounts. An amount is written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect the receivable have failed. Inventory The Company uses the first-in, first-out The 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, which is generally three 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 Goodwill, include the following: • significant and sustained underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results; • significant changes in the manner or use of the Company’s assets in the strategy for the Company’s overall business; • significant negative industry or economic trends; • significant and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price; and • a decline in the Company’s market capitalization below net book value. The two reporting units within iCAD are its segments, Detection and Therapy. The Company records an impairment charge if such an assessment were to indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than the carrying value. When the Company evaluates potential impairments outside of its annual measurement date, judgment is required in determining whether an event has occurred that may impair the value of goodwill or intangible assets. Fair values for the reporting units are based on 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 the fact that 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 our business profile, 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. Equally important, 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 assesses each valuation methodology based upon the relevance and availability of the data at the time the valuation is performed and weights the methodologies appropriately. The Company performed the annual impairment assessment at October 1, 2021 and compared the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value as of this date. The fair value of the Detection reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. Accordingly, impairment of goodwill was recorded. 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. Long Lived Assets In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360 , “Property, Plant an d 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 uses “events and circumstances” criteria to determine when, if at all, an asset (or asset group) is evaluated for recoverability. Thus, there is no set interval or frequency for recoverability evaluation. In accordance with ASC 360 -10 -35 -21 the following factors are examples of events or changes in circumstances that indicate t h • 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 did record any impairment charges on its long-lived assets for the years ended December , or December , . Intangible assets subject to amortization consist primarily of patents, technology intangibles, trade names, customer relationships and distribution agreements purchased in the Company’s previous acquisitions. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis or the pattern of economic benefit over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 10 years. Leases Per ASC 842, the Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease is an operating or financing contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an identified tangible asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At lease inception, the Company recognizes a lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, and a right of use asset equal to the lease liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as for lease incentives. In determining the present value of the lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate, determined by estimating the Company’s applicable, fully collateralized borrowing rate, with adjustment as appropriate for lease term. The lease term at the lease commencement date is determined based on the non-cancellable Right-of-use non-lease non-lease ASC 842 includes a number of reassessment and re-measurement right-of-use Certain of the Company’s leases include variable lease costs to reimburse the lessor for real estate tax and insurance expenses, and certain non-lease non-lease Stock-Based Compensation The Company maintains stock-based incentive plans, under which it provides stock incentives to employees, directors and contractors. The Company grants to employees, directors and contractors, options to purchase common stock at an exercise price equal to the market value of the stock at the date of grant. The Company may grant restricted stock to employees and directors. The underlying shares of the restricted stock grant are not issued until the shares vest, and compensation expense is based on the stock price of the shares at the time of grant. The Company follows ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” re-measured will retain their vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of its common stock price over the expected term, and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to the completion of their vesting requirements. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience with pre-vested Revenue Recognition In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and 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. The Company applies the following five steps to guide revenue recognition: 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 that performance obligation or to a distinct good or service that forms part of a performance obligation. The Company determines SSP based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the SSP is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the SSP taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations. 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. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. For iCAD’s typical product revenue, control typically transfers upon shipment as 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. Perpetual 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. Goods and Services Classifications Products . Product revenue consists of sales of cancer detection perpetual licenses, cancer therapy systems, cancer therapy applicators, cancer therapy disposable applicators and other accessories that are typically shipped with a cancer therapy system. The Company transfers control and recognizes a sale when the product is shipped from the manufacturing or warehousing facility to the customer. Service Contracts 12 48 Supply and Source Usage Agreements . Revenue from supply and source usage agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the supply or source agreement. Professional Services . Revenue from fixed fee service contracts is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement. Revenue from professional service contracts entered into with customers on a time and materials basis is recognized over the term of the agreement in proportion to the costs incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. Other . Other revenue consists primarily of miscellaneous products and services. The Company transfers control and recognizes a sale when the installation services are performed or when the Company ships the product from the Company’s manufacturing or warehouse facility to the customer. Significant Judgments The Company’s contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer and identifying 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 the Company sells 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. Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer The Company recognizes incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer as an asset if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year and as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. Right to Invoice Where applicable, the Company recognizes 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 Company has a right to invoice. Sales and Other Similar Taxes The Company excludes sales taxes and similar taxes from the measurement of transaction price and ensures compliance w Significant Financing Component The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Promised Goods or Services that are Immaterial in the Context of a Contract The Company assesses materiality of promised goods or services as performance obligations in the context of a contract and the Company does not aggregate and assess immaterial items at the entity level. When determining whether a good or service is immaterial in the context of a contract, the assessment will be made based on the application of ASC 606 at the contract level. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which it recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed. Cost of Revenue Cost of revenue consists of the costs of products purchased for resale, cost relating to service including costs of service contracts to maintain equipment after the warranty period, inbound freight and duty, manufacturing, warehousing, material movement, inspection, scrap, rework, depreciation and in-house Warranty Costs The Company provides for the estimated cost of standard product warranty against defects in material and workmanship based on historical warranty trends, including the cost of product returns during the warranty period. Warranty costs have not historically been material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Engineering and Product Development Costs Engineering and product development costs relate to research and development efforts including Company sponsored clinical trials are expensed as incurred. Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was approximately $689,000, $274,000, and $1,101,000, respectively. Income Taxes The Company follows the liability method under ASC Topic 740 “ Income Taxes |
