−Removed: When there is no foreseeable limit on the period of time over which an intangible asset is expected to contribute to the cash flows of the Company, an intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite life.
−Removed: Indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized but tested for impairment annually or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist.
−Removed: If the carrying value of an individual indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, such individual indefinite-life intangible asset is impaired by the amount of the excess.
−Removed: The estimated useful lives are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
−Removed: Impairment of long-lived assets
−Removed: The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and definite life intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.
−Removed: In order to determine if assets have been impaired, assets are grouped and tested at the lowest level for which identifiable independent cash flows are available (“ asset group ”).
−Removed: An impairment loss is recognized when the sum of projected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset group.
−Removed: The measurement of the impairment loss to be recognized is based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the asset group.
−Removed: Fair value can be determined using a market approach, income approach or cost approach.
−Removed: The reversal of impairment losses is prohibited.
−Removed: Impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets
−Removed: Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred.
−Removed: As part of the impairment evaluation, the Company may elect to perform an assessment of qualitative factors.
−Removed: If this qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset or the reporting unit (for goodwill) is less than its carrying value, a quantitative impairment test to compare the fair value to the carrying value is performed.
−Removed: An impairment charge is recorded if the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
−Removed: The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
−Removed: Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ ROU ”) assets and right-of-use liabilities (current and non-current) in the balance sheets.
−Removed: Finance lease ROU assets are included in property and equipment, net and ROU liabilities (current and non-current) in the balance sheets.
−Removed: ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
−Removed: ROU assets are classified as a finance lease or an operating lease.
−Removed: A finance lease is a lease in which 1) ownership of the property transfers to the lessee by the end of the lease term;
−Removed: 2) the lease grants the lessee an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise;
−Removed: 3) the lease is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset;
−Removed: 4) The present value of the sum of the lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already included in the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value;
−Removed: or 5) the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term.
−Removed: The Company classifies a lease as an operating lease when it does not meet any one of these criteria.
−Removed: ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.
−Removed: As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
−Removed: The Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable.
−Removed: The ROU assets also include any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives.
−Removed: The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
−Removed: For finance leases, lease expenses are the sum of interest on the lease obligations and amortization of the ROU assets, resulting in a front-loaded expense pattern.
−Removed: ROU assets are amortized based on the lesser of the lease term and the useful life of the leased asset according to the property and equipment accounting policy.
−Removed: If ownership of the ROU assets transfers to the Company at the end of the lease term or if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, amortization is calculated using the estimated useful life of the leased asset, according to the property and equipment accounting policy.
−Removed: For operating leases, the lease expenses are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recorded to general and administrative expenses in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
−Removed: The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient, for each class of underlying asset, except real estate leases, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components of the lessee’s contract and account for both components as a single lease component.
−Removed: The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
−Removed: Short-term leases include real estate and vehicles and are not significant in comparison to the Company’s overall lease portfolio.
−Removed: The Company continues to recognize the lease payments associated with these leases as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
−Removed: Convertible notes
−Removed: The Company accounts for its convertible notes with a cash conversion feature in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ ASC 470-20 ”), which requires the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate.
−Removed: The initial proceeds from the sale of convertible notes are allocated between a liability component and an equity component in a manner that reflects interest expense at the rate of similar nonconvertible debt that could have been issued at such time.
−Removed: The equity component represents the excess initial proceeds received over the fair value of the liability component of the notes as of the date of issuance.
−Removed: The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period during which the convertible notes are expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expenses.
−Removed: Upon repurchase of convertible debt instruments, ASC 470-20 requires the issuer to allocate total settlement consideration, inclusive of transaction costs, amongst the liability and equity components of the instrument based on the fair value of the liability component immediately prior to repurchase.
−Removed: The difference between the settlement consideration allocated to the liability component and the net carrying value of the liability component, including unamortized debt issuance costs, would be recognized as gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt in the statements of net loss and comprehensive loss.
−Removed: The remaining settlement consideration allocated to the equity component would be recognized as a reduction of additional paid-in capital in the balance sheets.

−Removed: The Company considers whether there are other promises in the contracts that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated.
−Removed: In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Company considers the effects of variable consideration and the existence of significant financing components (if any).
−Removed: Variable consideration
−Removed: Some contracts for the sale of goods may provide customers with a right of return, volume discount, bonuses for volume/quality achievement, or sales allowance.
−Removed: In addition, the Company may provide in certain circumstances, a retrospective price reduction to a customer based primarily on inventory movement.
−Removed: These items give rise to variable consideration.
−Removed: The Company uses the expected value method to estimate the variable consideration because this method best predicts the amount of variable consideration to which the Company will be entitled.
−Removed: The Company uses historical evidence, current information and forecasts to estimate the variable consideration.
−Removed: The requirements in ASC 606 on constraining estimates of variable consideration are applied to determine the amount of variable consideration that can be included in the transaction price.
−Removed: The Company reduces revenue and recognizes a contract liability equal to the amount expected to be refunded to the customer in the form of a future rebate or credit for a retrospective price reduction, representing its obligation to return the customer’s consideration.
−Removed: The estimate is updated at each reporting period.
−Removed: Significant financing component
−Removed: The Company may receive short-term advances from its customers.
−Removed: Using the practical expedient in ASC 606, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when the Company transfers a promised good to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.
