Significant Accounting Policies |
Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies to the Company’s financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”) and are supplemented by the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (the “Notes”) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 (this “Report”). The financial statements included in this Report (including the Notes) should be read in conjunction with the 2022 Form 10-K. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All dollar amounts presented herein are in U.S. dollars and are in thousands, except par value, share and per share amounts. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Solid Power Operating, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), followed by other related ASUs that provided targeted improvements and additional practical expedient options. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the standards under Topic 842 using the modified retrospective method and elected a number of the practical expedients in its implementation of Topic 842. The key change that affected the Company relates to accounting for operating leases for which it is the lessee that were historically off-balance sheet. Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. ASU 2016-13 also provides updated guidance regarding the impairment of available-for-sale debt securities and includes additional disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2022. The Company regularly reviews its available-for-sale marketable securities and evaluates the current expected credit losses by considering factors such as any changes in credit ratings, historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, and current economic conditions. Based on this analysis, any allowance for credit losses is immaterial and would be recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the asset. The Company reviews its receivable aging on an individual customer level, considering collectability of cash flows based on the risk of past events, current conditions, and forward-looking information. The Company establishes allowances for bad debts equal to the estimable portions of accounts receivable for which failure to collect is expected to occur. Allowances for doubtful accounts are recorded as reductions to the carrying values of the related receivables. To date, the Company has not recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts.
