Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021 that have had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We are in lease agreements that require letters of credit to secure the obligations. The restricted cash related to these letters of credit is recorded in other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in the amounts of $0.9 million and $0.8 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Equity Method Investment

We apply the equity method of accounting to our investment in Promon AS (Promon), because we exercise significant influence, but not controlling interest, in the investee. Promon is a technology company headquartered in Norway that specializes in mobile app security, whose solutions focus largely on Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP). We exercise significant influence over Promon as a result of our 17% ownership interest in Promon, our representation on Promon’s Board of Directors, and the significance to Promon of our business activities with them. We integrate Promon’s RASP technology into our software solution, which are licensed to our customers. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s proportionate share of the net earnings (losses) of Promon is reported in other income (expense), net in our condensed consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact of the proportionate share of net earnings (losses) were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 as were the relative size of Promon’s assets and operations in relation to the Company’s. The carrying value of our equity method investment is reported in other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets and is reported originally at cost and adjusted each period for the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings (losses) and dividends paid, if any. The Company also assesses the investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. The Company did not record any impairment charges during the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company recorded $1.6 million and $1.2 million in costs of sales during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, respectively for license fees owed to Promon for use of their software and technology. The Company owed Promon $2.7 million as of March 31, 2021, which is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplification for Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The ASU also adds guidance to reduce complexity in certain areas, including recognizing deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2020-12 was effective beginning January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications and hedging relationships that reference London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The guidance is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, our management believes that the issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
