4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Subsequently, all financial instruments are measured at either amortized cost using the effective interest method or via fair value.

 

The financial instruments of the Company consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, long-term receivables, trade payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, note payable, embedded derivatives, warranty liability, accrued severance pay, other long-term liabilities and long-term debt. In view of their nature, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts.

 

The Company measures the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities using the fair value hierarchy. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Guaranteed investment certificates are classified within Level 2 as the Company uses alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs for valuation. 

 

The Company's convertible notes (see Note 13) contain an embedded derivative feature that was required to be bifurcated and remeasured to fair value at each reporting period based on significant inputs not observable in the market, and is classified as a Level 3 measurement according to the fair value hierarchy described above. The changes in fair value recognized as a component of finance expenses. The fair value of derivative liability was determined using a probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”) using the “With and Without” approach (a form of an income approach). Under this approach various scenarios were considered to trigger the change of control, conversion, and redemption scenarios constituting the embedded derivative. The PWERM analysis contains inherent assumptions related to expected stock price volatility, conversion and redemption timing, and risk-free interest rate. Due to the use of significant unobservable inputs, the overall fair value measurement of the derivative liability is classified as Level 3.

 

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 financial assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy, and there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the periods presented:
