−Removed: Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
−Removed: made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
−Removed: We believe that our

−Removed: Critical Audit Matter
−Removed: The critical audit matter communicated
−Removed: below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required
−Removed: to be communicated to the audit committee and that:
−Removed: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated

−Removed: by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts

−Removed: Complex Equity Instruments
−Removed: As described in Note 6 to
−Removed: the consolidated financial statements, the Company issued $20.5 million of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred
−Removed: Stock”) in December 2020.
−Removed: The Preferred Stock is redeemable and convertible upon the occurrence of certain events.
−Removed: The Preferred
−Removed: Stock was evaluated to determine whether or not it (i) was mandatorily redeemable or (ii) represented an unconditional obligation
−Removed: of the Company to be settled in a variable number of shares of common stock.
−Removed: The Company determined that the Preferred Stock was
−Removed: neither mandatorily redeemable nor did it require settlement in a variable number of shares of common stock.
−Removed: The embedded conversion features
−Removed: were evaluated for bifurcation as an embedded derivative instrument.
−Removed: This evaluation included determining whether or not the economic
−Removed: characteristics and risks of the embedded conversion features were clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics
−Removed: of the Preferred Stock.
−Removed: Based on its terms, the Company determined that the Preferred Stock was akin to an equity-like host.
−Removed: a result, the Company concluded that the embedded conversion features were clearly and closely related to the Preferred Stock.
−Removed: The embedded conversion features
−Removed: were further evaluated for the presence of a beneficial conversion feature and the Preferred Stock for classification as mezzanine,
−Removed: or temporary, equity.
−Removed: As the Preferred Stock is contingently convertible at the commitment date and requires shareholder approval,
−Removed: a beneficial conversion feature was not recognized in 2020.

−Removed: is required when preferred stock is redeemable upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Company.

−Removed: for one share of common stock, and Series H warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock in June 2020.
−Removed: The Company determined
−Removed: the pre-funded warrants and the Series H warrants are freestanding financial instruments because both the pre-funded warrants and
−Removed: the Series H warrants are separately exercisable and legally detachable from each other and from the common stock.
−Removed: evaluated the pre-funded warrants and Series H warrants pursuant to ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , and
−Removed: concluded they are not liabilities.
−Removed: The pre-funded warrants and Series H warrants were further evaluated to determine whether or
−Removed: not they were derivative financial instruments.
−Removed: The Company concluded that both the pre-funded warrants and the Series H warrants
−Removed: should be classified in stockholders’
−Removed: equity, as they meet both the indexation guidance and the equity classification guidance
−Removed: included in ASC 815-40.
−Removed: The Company allocated the proceeds to the common stock, pre-funded warrants and the Series H warrants based
−Removed: on their relative fair values.
−Removed: The principal considerations
−Removed: for our determination that the accounting for complex equity instruments constituted a critical audit matter included the significant
−Removed: complexity of the relevant accounting guidance, as well as extent of management judgments involved in the application of that guidance.

−Removed: analysis of the transactions
−Removed: With the assistance of firm personnel having expertise in the accounting

−Removed: the transactions, as well as the respective relative fair value allocations.
−Removed: Our testing included assessing the reasonableness
−Removed: of certain assumptions used by the Company, as well as, the completeness and accuracy of the data utilized
−Removed: We assessed the required financial statement disclosures
−Removed: related to the transactions

−Removed: tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of

+Added: Specifically, when government grants are related to reimbursements for cost of revenues or operating expenses, the government grants are recognized as a reduction of the related expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
+Added: Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method of accounting.
