WARRANT LIABILITY [Abstract]
WARRANT LIABILITY	NOTE 12 – WARRANT LIABILITY On December 9, 2016, ACM Shanghai received the SMC Investment from SMC for potential investment pursuant to terms to be subsequently negotiated, and on March 14, 2017, ACM, ACM Shanghai and SMC entered into the SMC Agreement pursuant to which, in exchange for the SMC Investment, ACM issued the SMC Warrant to SMC (note 11). The SMC Warrant, while outstanding as of December 31, 2017, was classified as a liability as it was conditionally puttable in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The fair value of the SMC Warrant was adjusted for changes in fair value at each reporting period, but could not be lower than the proceeds of the SMC Investment. The corresponding non-cash gain or loss of the changes in fair value was recorded in earnings. The Black-Scholes valuation model was used to value the SMC Warrant. On March 30, 2018, ACM entered into a warrant exercise agreement with ACM Shanghai and SMC pursuant to which SMC exercised the SMC Warrant in full by issuing to ACM a senior secured promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000. ACM then transferred such note to ACM Shanghai in exchange for an intercompany promissory note of ACM Shanghai in the principal amount of $3,000. Each of the two notes bears interest at a rate of 3.01% per annum and matures on August 17, 2023. As security for its performance of its obligations under its note, SMC granted to ACM Shanghai a security interest in the 397,502 shares of Class A common stock issued to SMC upon its exercise of the SMC Warrant. Upon the issuance of 397,502 shares of Class A common stock to SMC, the senior secured promissory note issued to ACM by SMC was offset against the SMC Investment.

NOTE 12 – WARRANT LIABILITY

On December 9, 2016, ACM Shanghai received the SMC Investment from SMC for potential investment pursuant to terms to be subsequently negotiated, and on March 14, 2017, ACM, ACM Shanghai and SMC entered into the SMC Agreement pursuant to which, in exchange for the SMC Investment, ACM issued the SMC Warrant to SMC (note 11).

The SMC Warrant, while outstanding as of December 31, 2017, was classified as a liability as it was conditionally puttable in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The fair value of the SMC Warrant was adjusted for changes in fair value at each reporting period, but could not be lower than the proceeds of the SMC Investment. The corresponding non-cash gain or loss of the changes in fair value was recorded in earnings. The Black-Scholes valuation model was used to value the SMC Warrant. On March 30, 2018, ACM entered into a warrant exercise agreement with ACM Shanghai and SMC pursuant to which SMC exercised the SMC Warrant in full by issuing to ACM a senior secured promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000. ACM then transferred such note to ACM Shanghai in exchange for an intercompany promissory note of ACM Shanghai in the principal amount of $3,000. Each of the two notes bears interest at a rate of 3.01% per annum and matures on August 17, 2023.
