Organization and Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES COMPANY HISTORY AND RECENT ACQUISITIVE GROWTH Boxlight Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 18, 2014 with its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia for the purpose of becoming a technology company that sells interactive educational products. The Company designs, produces and distributes interactive technology solutions to the education market. On September 24, 2020, the Company acquired Sahara Presentation Systems PLC, a leader in distributed and manufactured AV solutions. Headquartered in the United Kingdom, Sahara is a leader in distributed AV products and a manufacturer of multi-award-winning touchscreens and digital signage products, including the globally renowned Clevertouch and Sedao brands. On April 17, 2020, the Company acquired the assets, and assumed certain liabilities of MyStemKits and STEM Education Holdings, Pty, an Australian corporation (“STEM”), the largest online collection of K-12 STEM curriculum for 3D printing. On March 12, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Modern Robotics Inc. (MRI), based in Miami, Florida. MRI is engaged in the business of developing, selling and distributing science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), robotics and programming solutions to the global education market. On August 31, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interest equity of EOS, an Arizona limited liability company. EOS is in the business of providing technology consulting, training, and professional development services to create sustainable programs that integrate technology with curriculum in K-12 schools and districts. On June 22, 2018, the Company 100% of the capital stock of the Qwizdom Companies. The Qwizdom Companies develop interactive whiteboard software and online solutions that are quick to implement and designed to increase participation, provide immediate data feedback, and, most importantly, accelerate and improve comprehension and learning. The Qwizdom Companies have offices outside Seattle, WA and Belfast, Northern Ireland and deliver products in 44 languages to customers around the world through a network of partners. On May 9, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Cohuba based in Lancashire, England. Cohuba produces, sells and distributes interactive display panels designed to provide new learning and working experiences through high-quality technologies and solutions through in-room and room-to-room multi-devices multi-user collaboration. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Boxlight Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and account balances among all of affiliated entities have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature and necessary for fair financial statement presentation. ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, 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 amounts could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates of allowances for bad debts, and inventory obsolescence; the recoverability deferred tax assets; the fair value and the recoverability of warrants; the initial fair value of preferred stock, intangible assets and goodwill; stock compensation, fair values of assets acquired and estimates for contingent liabilities. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income (loss) reflects the change in equity during the year and is comprised of all components of net income (loss and foreign currency translation adjustments. FOREIGN CURRENCIES The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates and is generally the currency in which the Company business generates and expends cash. Subsidiaries with different functional currencies, translates their assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of equity (deficit). Foreign exchange gains and losses arise from transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Gains and losses on those foreign currency transactions are included in determining net income for the period in the exchange rates change. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which, from time to time, may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits of $250,000 for banks located in the U.S. The Company has not experienced any losses with regard to its bank accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risk of loss on its cash bank accounts. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS Accounts receivable are stated at contractual amounts, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amounts that ultimately will not be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical payment trends, the age of receivables and knowledge of the individual customers. When the analysis indicates, management increases or decreases the allowance accordingly. However, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances might be required. INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include spare parts and finished goods. Inventories are primarily determined using specific identification and the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) cost methods. Cost includes direct cost from the Current Manufacturer (“CM”) or Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”), plus material overhead related to the purchase, inbound freight and import duty costs. The Company continuously reviews its inventory levels to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise, which reduces the cost of inventories to its estimated net realizable value. Consideration is given to several quantitative and qualitative factors, including current pricing levels and the anticipated need for subsequent markdowns, aging of inventories, historical sales trends, and the impact of market trends and economic conditions. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. LONG–LIVED ASSETS Long-lived assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS Transactions in which the Company acquires or obtains control of one or more businesses are accounted for as business combinations in accordance with Topic 350, Business Combinations, which requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date on the balance sheet. Income taxes, where applicable, are recognized and measured in accordance with Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires management to use significant judgement and estimates, including the selection of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenue, costs and cash flows, and discount rates. Transaction costs are expenses as incurred. Any excess consideration transferred over he assigned values of net assets acquired would be recorded as goodwill. GOODWILL Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets of acquired businesses, and represents implied synergies expected of the completed business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes. Under ASC 350, Business Combinations, we have an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether quantitative impairment testing is necessary. If, as a result of a qualitative assessment, it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the business is less than carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. Otherwise, no further testing is necessary. If we perform a qualitative assessment, we consider the following criteria: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance and other entity specific events. In addition, we assess whether the most recent fair value determination resulted in an amount that significantly exceeded the carrying amount of the Company. Based on these assessments, we determine whether the likelihood that a current fair value determination would be less than the current carrying amount is not more likely than not. Because the qualitative assessment is an option, we may bypass it for any reporting unit in any period and begin the analysis using a quantitative impairment test. We may also elect to perform a quantitative impairment test based on the period of time that has passed since the most recent determination of fair value, even when we do not believe that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the business is less than carrying amount. In analyzing goodwill for potential impairment in the quantitative impairment test, we use a combination of the income and market approaches to estimate the fair value. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value based on estimated future discounted cash flows. The assumptions we use are based on what we believe a hypothetical marketplace participant would use in estimating fair value. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on market multiples of revenue or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization for benchmark companies. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if the fair value were to be less than carrying value, we would then determine the amount of the impairment charge, if any, which would be the amount that the carrying value of the goodwill exceeded its implied value. No goodwill impairments have been identified and recognized during any of the periods presented. Being that the acquisition of Sahara September 24, 2020, the business has performed at or better than expected, and there are no indicators of possible impairment, the Company believes that the carrying amount does not exceed the fair value for the reporting unit. Goodwill arising from the Sahara acquisition was not included in the goodwill impairment testing for 2020 but will be included in the impairment testing in 2021. Intangible assets Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and consider events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. No material impairments of intangible assets have been identified during any of the periods presented. Intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis, and between annual tests if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. DERIVATIVE TREATMENT OF STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (iii) contain reset provisions as either an asset or a liability. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between equity and liabilities is required. The Company determined that certain warrants to purchase common stock do not satisfy the criteria for classification as equity instruments due to the existence of certain net cash and non-fixed settlement provisions that are not within the sole control of the Company. Such warrants are measured at fair value at each reporting date, and the changes in fair value are included in determining net income for the period. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company’s financial instruments primarily include cash, accounts receivable, derivative liabilities, accounts payable and debt. Due to the short-term nature of cash, accounts receivables and accounts payable, the carrying amounts of these assets and liabilities approximate their fair value. Debt approximates fair value due to either the short-term nature or recent execution of the debt agreement. The amount of consideration received is deemed to be the fair value of long-term debt net of any debt discount and issuance cost. Derivatives liabilities are recorded at fair value at each period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 Inputs - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity). Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

REVENUE RECOGNITION In accordance with the FASB’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it expects to be entitled when control of the products or services is transferred to its customers. Control is generally transferred when the Company has a present right to payment and the title and the significant risks and rewards of ownership of products or services are transferred to its customers. Product revenue is derived from the sale of projectors, interactive panels and related software and accessories to distributors, resellers, and end users. Service revenue is derived from hardware maintenance services, product installation, training, software maintenance, and subscription services. Nature of Products and Services and Related Contractual Provisions The Company’s sales of interactive devices, including panels, projectors, and other interactive devices generally include hardware maintenance services, a license to software, and the provision of related software maintenance. In most cases, interactive devices are sold with hardware maintenance services with terms of approximately 60 months. Software maintenance includes technical support, product updates on a when and if available basis, and error correction services. At times, non-interactive projectors are also sold with hardware maintenance services with terms of approximately 60 months. The Company also licenses software independently of its interactive devices, in which case it is bundled with software maintenance, and in some cases, subscription services that include access to on-line content, and cloud-based applications. The Company’s software subscription services provide access to content and software applications on an as needed basis over the Internet, but do not provide the right to take delivery of the software applications. The Company’s product sales, including those with software and related services, generally include a single payment up front for the products and services, and revenue is recorded net of estimated sales returns and rebates based on the Company’s expectations and historical experience. For most of the Company’s product sales, control transfers, and therefore, revenue is recognized when products are shipped at the point of origin. When the Company transfers control of its products to the customer prior to the related shipping and handling activities, the Company has adopted a policy of accounting for shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost rather than a performance obligation. For many of the Company’s software product sales, control is transferred when shipped at the point of origin since the software is installed on the interactive hardware device in advance of shipping. For software product sales, control is transferred when the customer receives the related interactive hardware since the customer’s connection to the interactive hardware activates the software license at which time the software is made available to the customer. For the Company’s software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services, revenue is recognized ratably over time as the services are provided since time is the best output measure of how those services are transferred to the customer. The Company’s installation, training and professional development services are generally sold separately from the Company’s products. Control of these services is transferred to our customers over time with hours/time incurred in providing the service being the best depiction of the transfer of services since the customer is receiving the benefit of the services as the work is performed. For the sale of third-party products and services where the Company obtains control of the products and services before transferring it to the customer, the Company recognizes revenue based on the gross amount billed to customers. The Company considers multiple factors when determining whether it obtains control of the third-party products and services including, but not limited to, evaluating if it can establish the price of the product, retains inventory risk for tangible products or has the responsibility for ensuring acceptability of the product or service. The Company has not historically entered into transactions where it does not take control of the product or service prior to transfer to the customer. The Company excludes all taxes assessed by a governmental agency that are both imposed on and concurrent with the specific revenue-producing transaction from revenue (for example, sales and use taxes). In essence, the Company is reporting these amounts collected on behalf of the applicable government agency on a net basis as though they are acting as an agent. The taxes collected and not yet remitted to the governmental agency are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Significant Judgments For contracts with multiple performance obligations, each of which represent promises within a contract that are distinct, the Company allocates revenue to all distinct performance obligations based on their relative stand-alone selling prices (“SSPs”). The Company’s products and services included in its contracts with multiple performance obligations generally are not sold separately and there are no observable prices available to determine the SSP for those products and services. Since observable prices are not available, SSPs are established that reflect the Company’s best estimates of what the selling prices of the performance obligations would be if they were sold regularly on a stand-alone basis. The Company’s process for estimating SSPs without observable prices considers multiple factors that may vary depending upon the unique facts and circumstances related to each performance obligation including, when applicable, the estimated cost to provide the performance obligation, market trends in the pricing for similar offerings, product-specific business objectives, and competitor or other relevant market pricing and margins. Because observable prices are generally not available for the Company’s performance obligations that are sold in bundled arrangements, the Company does not apply the residual approach to determining SSP. However, the Company does have certain performance obligations for which pricing is highly variable or uncertain, and contracts with those performance obligations generally contain multiple performance obligations with highly variable or uncertain pricing. For these contracts the Company allocates the transaction price to those performance obligations using an alternative method of allocation that is consistent with the allocation objective and the guidance on determining SSPs in Topic 606 considering, when applicable, the estimated cost to provide the performance obligation, market pricing for competing product or service offerings, residual values based on the estimated SSP for certain goods, product-specific business objectives, incremental values for bundled transactions that include a service relative to similar transactions that exclude the service, and competitor pricing and margins. A separate price has not been established by the Company for its hardware maintenance services and software maintenance services. In addition, hardware maintenance services, software solutions, and the related maintenance services are never sold separately and are proprietary in nature, and the related selling price of these products and services is highly variable or uncertain. Therefore, the SSP of these products and services is estimated using the alternative method described above, which includes residual value techniques. The Company has applied the portfolio approach to its allocation of the transaction price for certain portfolios of contracts that are executed in the same manner, contain the same performance obligations, and are priced in a consistent manner. The Company believes that the application of the portfolio approach produces the same result as if they were applied at the contract level. Contract Balances The timing of invoicing to customers often differs from the timing of revenue recognition and these timing differences can result in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Fees for the Company’s product and most service contracts are fixed, except as adjusted for rebate programs when applicable, and are generally due within 30-60 days of contract execution. Fees for installation, training, and professional development services are fixed and generally become due as the services are performed. The Company has an established history of collecting under the terms of its contracts without providing refunds or concessions to its customers. The Company’s contractual payment terms do not vary when products are bundled with services that are provided over multiple years. In these contracts where services are expected to be transferred on an ongoing basis for several years after the related payment, the Company has determined that the contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. The upfront invoicing terms are designed 1) to provide customers with a predictable way to purchase products and services where the payment is due in the same timeframe as when the products, which constitute the predominant portion of the contractual value, are transferred, and 2) to ensure that the customer continues to use the related services, so that the customer will receive the optimal benefit from the products over their lives. Additionally, the Company has elected the practical expedient to exclude any financing component from consideration for contracts where, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of services and the timing of the related payment is not expected to exceed one year. The Company has an unconditional right to consideration for all products and services transferred to the customer. That unconditional right to consideration is reflected in accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in accordance with Topic 606. Contract liabilities are reflected in deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and reflect amounts allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been transferred to the customer related to software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services. The Company has no material contract assets on December 31, 2020 or 2019. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2019 and January 1, 2019, respectively, as adjusted for Topic 606, at the beginning of the period. Variable Consideration The Company’s otherwise fixed consideration in its customer contracts may vary when refunds or credits are provided for sales returns, stock rotation rights, price protection provisions, or in connection with certain other rebate provisions. The Company generally does not allow product returns other than under assurance warranties or hardware maintenance contracts. However, the Company, on a case-by-case basis, will grant exceptions, mostly “buyer’s remorse” where the distributor or reseller’s end customer either did not understand what they were ordering, or determined that the product did not meet their needs. An allowance for sales returns is estimated based on an analysis of historical trends. In very limited situations, a customer may return previous purchases held in inventory for a specified period of time in exchange for credits toward additional purchases. The Company includes variable consideration in its transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount of the fee and it is probable there will not be a significant reversal. These estimates are generally made using the expected value method based on historical experience and are measured at each reporting date. There was no material revenue recognized in 2020 related to changes in estimated variable consideration that existed at December 31, 2019. Remaining Performance Obligations A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of accounting within the contract. The transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied by transferring the promised good or service to the customer. The Company identifies performance obligations at contract inception so that it can monitor and account for the obligations over the life of the contract. Remaining performance obligations represent the portion of the transaction price in a contract allocated to products and services not yet transferred to the customer. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, the aggregate amount of the contractual transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations was $16.1 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 43% of the remaining performance obligations in 2021, 45% in 2022 and 2023, with the remainder recognized thereafter. In accordance with Topic 606, the Company has elected not to disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed (for example, a time-and-materials professional services contracts). In addition, the Company has elected not to disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts with performance obligations that are expected, at contract inception, to be satisfied over a period that does not exceed one year. Disaggregated Revenue The Company disaggregates revenue based upon the nature of its products and services and the timing and in the manner which it is transferred to the customer. Although all products are transferred to the customer at a point in time, hardware and some software is pre-installed on the interactive device are transferred at the point of shipment, while some software is transferred to the customer at the time the hardware is received by the customer or when software product keys are delivered electronically to the customer. All service revenue is transferred over time to the customer; however, professional services are generally transferred to the customer within a year from the contract date as measured based upon hours or time incurred while software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and subscription services are generally transferred over 5 years from the contract execution date as measured based upon the passage of time.

Contract Costs The Company capitalizes incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer if the Company expects to recover those costs. The incremental costs to obtain a contract are those that the Company incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have otherwise incurred if the contract were not obtained (e.g., a sales commission). The Company capitalizes the costs incurred to fulfil a contract only if those costs meet all the following criteria:
| ● | The costs relate directly to a contract or to an anticipated contract that the Company can specifically identify.
| ● | The costs generate or enhance resources of the Company that will be used in satisfying (or in continuing to satisfy) performance obligations in the future.
| ● | The costs are expected to be recovered.
Certain sales commissions incurred by the Company were determined to be incremental costs to obtain the related contracts, which are deferred and amortized ratably over the estimated economic benefit period. For these sales commissions that are incremental costs to obtain where the period of amortization would have been recognized over a period that is one year or less, the Company elected the practical expedient to expense those costs as incurred. Commission costs that are deferred are classified as current or non-current assets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense and are included in prepaid and other assets and other assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Total deferred commissions at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related amortization for 2019 were less than $0.1 million. The Company has not historically incurred any material fulfilment costs that meet the criteria for capitalization. WARRANTY RESERVE For customers that do not purchase hardware maintenance services, the Company generally provides warranty coverage on projectors and accessories, batteries and computers. This warranty coverage does not exceed 24 months, and the Company establishes a liability for estimated product warranty costs, included in other short-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, at the time the related product revenue is recognized. The warranty obligation is affected by historical product failure rates and the related use of materials, labor costs and freight incurred in correcting any product failure. Should actual product failure rates, use of materials, or other costs differ from the Company’s estimates, additional warranty liabilities could be required, which would reduce its gross profit. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consists primarily of personnel related costs, prototype and sample costs, design costs, and global product certifications mostly for wireless certifications. INCOME TAXES An asset and liability approach is used for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between income tax and financial reporting and principally relate to recognition of revenue and expenses in different periods for financial and tax accounting purposes and are measured using currently enacted tax rates and laws. In addition, a deferred tax asset can be generated by net operating loss carryforwards. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based compensation award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Total expense is reduced by the fair value of the options that are forfeited prior to vesting when the forfeiture occurs. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS We reviewed all material events through the date of these consolidated financial statements were issued for subsequent event disclosure consideration as described in Note 16. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In May 2014, the FASB issued Topic 606, which replaced the previous revenue recognition guidance. The Company adopted Topic 606 effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method. Under this method, the Company elected to apply the cumulative effect method to all customer contracts as of the adoption date. The impact to revenue in 2019 as a result of the adoption of Topic 606 was approximately $0.6 million, which is the result of the identification of additional units of accounting or performance obligations upon adoption of Topic 606. Specifically, the Company identified software (previously combined with hardware for accounting purposes), the related software maintenance, and hardware maintenance (previously accounted for under guidance applicable to extended warranties) as units of accounting. Under prior GAAP, no portion of the transaction price was allocated to, and therefore, no revenue was recognized upon the transfer of these products and services. While revenue related to software may only be deferred for up to a few days relative to the timing of revenue recognition under prior GAAP, software maintenance and hardware maintenance revenue will now be recognized over a period of 3-5 years based on the specified term in the contract or the estimated service term, if not specified. As a result, the cumulative impact due to the adoption of Topic 606 on the opening consolidated balance sheet was a decrease in opening retained earnings, with an increase in deferred commissions, an increase in deferred revenue, and a decrease in accrued warranty costs. We adopted ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” effective January 1, 2020. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by eliminating step two from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test now consists of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The new pronouncement had no impact to the Company, as the results from step one did not indicate any impairment the needed to be recognized. In February 2016, the FASB issues ASC 842 “Leases” that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Under the previous guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily depended on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The new guidance also requires disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For Small Emerging Growth Companies, the new standard is not effective until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its financial statements and will adopt the new standard in 2021. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments Credit Losses” (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss methodology with the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade accounts receivable. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842. This new guidance changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Since the Company is a Small Emerging Growth Company, the ASU is not effective until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have, if any, on its financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” The new guidance simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments and for contracts in an entity’s own equity. Key provisions include the elimination of the “cash conversion” guidance and the “beneficial conversion feature” guidance in ASC 470-20 as well as a simplification of the settlement assessment that entities are required to perform to determine whether a contract qualifies for equity classification by removing certain conditions in ASC 815-40-25. Since the Company is a Small Emerging Growth Company, the ASU is not effective until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on its financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). The new guidance modifies the requirements for the timing of adoption of enacted change in tax law. The effects of changes on taxes currently payable or refundable for the current year must be reflected in the computation of annual effective tax rate. Since the Company is an Emerging Growth Company, the ASU is not effective until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have, if any, on its financial statements. There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, some of which may be applicable to the Company but none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.
