| Revenue Recognition |
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, utilizing the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed, and we did not utilize any of the practical expedients in the standard. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the timing and amounts of our revenue, processes or internal controls. Upon adoption, we did not have any material remaining performance obligations, significant judgements, or material costs to obtain or fulfill contracts with our customers.
The Company enters into contracts to sell and distribute products and services to hospitals and surgical facilities for use in caring for patients with peripheral nerve damage or discontinuity. Revenue is recognized when the Company has met its performance obligations pursuant to its contracts with its customers in an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for the transfer of control of the products and services to our customers. In the case of products or services sold to a customer under a distribution or purchase agreement, the Company has no further performance obligations and revenue is recognized at the point control transfers which occurs either when: i) the product is shipped via common carrier; or ii) the product is delivered to the customer or distributor, in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
A portion of the Company's product revenue is generated from consigned inventory maintained at hospitals and distributors, and also from inventory physically held by field sales representatives. For these types of products sales, the Company retains control until the product has been used or implanted, at which time revenue is recognized.
The Company elected to account for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a separate performance obligation. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included as part of the transaction price and recognized as revenue when control of underlying products is transferred to the customer. The related shipping and freight charges incurred by the Company are included in the cost of goods sold.
The Company operates in a single reportable segment of peripheral nerve repair, offers similar products to its customers, and enters into consistently structured arrangements with similar type of customers. As such, the Company does not disaggregate revenue from contracts with customers as the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows does not materially differ within and among the contracts with customers.
The contract with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity, and price of each implant distributed. The payment terms and conditions in our contracts vary; however, as a common business practice, payment terms are typically due in full within 30 to 60 days of delivery. Since the customer agrees to a stated price in the contract that does not vary over the contract term, the contracts do not contain any material types of variable consideration, and contractual rights of return are not material. The Company has several contracts with distributors which include consideration paid to the customer in exchange for distinct marketing and other services. We can reasonably estimate the fair value of such services and record such consideration paid to the customer as an operating expense.
In connection with our AcroVal® Neurosensory and Motor Testing System, we sell extended warranty and service packages to some of our customers who purchase this evaluation and measurement tool, and the prepayment of these extended warranties represent contract liabilities until the performance obligations are satisfied ratably over the term of the contract. The sale of the aforementioned extended warranty represents the only performance obligation the Company satisfies over time, and creates the contract liability disclosed below. |
| Concentrations of Credit Risk |
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company further controls credit risk through credit approvals and monitoring procedures. |
| Income Taxes |
Income Taxes
The Company has not recorded current income tax expense due to the generation of net operating losses. Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet approach which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more-likely-than-not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A full valuation allowance has been established on the deferred tax asset as it is more-likely-than-not that a future tax benefit will not be realized. In addition, future utilization of the available net operating loss carryforward may be limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 as a result of changes in ownership.
The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s remaining open tax years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service include the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2016; however, there currently are no examinations in process. |
| Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with USGAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
| Loss Per Share of Common Stock |
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
There were no dilutive instruments included in the calculation of loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, due to the Company reporting a net loss. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding were 34,521,122 and 33,026,433 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for all periods presented is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents outstanding, when dilutive. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents include shares of common stock which would potentially be issued pursuant to stock warrants and stock options. Common stock equivalents are not included in determining the fully diluted loss per share if their effect is antidilutive. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued a new standard on revenue recognition which outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard was designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries and jurisdictions and also requires enhanced disclosures. The standard could be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the adoption date. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, other than the enhanced disclosure included in Note 2.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. This update will increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This update is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (Topic 230). The ASU was issued intending to reduce diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows by providing guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. We prospectively adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), guidance that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. We prospectively adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” ASU 2017-09 provides clarity on which changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards require entities to apply the modification accounting provisions required in Topic 718. We prospectively adopted the standard on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s management has reviewed and considered all other recent accounting pronouncements and believe there are none that could potentially have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures |
