Note 7.       Fair Value Measurement

 

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” ("ASC 820") defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

 

 

Level 1 —Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and readily accessible by us at the reporting date. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs are certain money market funds, U.S. Treasuries and trading securities with quoted prices in active markets.

 

 

Level 2 —Valuations based on inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in active markets. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs are U.S. government agency bonds, corporate bonds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and over-the- counter derivatives.

 

 

Level 3 —Valuations based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require us to develop our own assumptions.

 

In determining the fair value of warrants, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

 

Upon issuance on April 27, 2021 and at June 26, 2021, the prefunded warrants liability was measured at fair value. On July 28, 2021, the Company and the holder amended the terms of the Prefunded Warrants to restrict the holder’s option to require cash payment at the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of the holder’s Prefunded Warrants to only Fundamental Transactions that are within the Company’s control. Because of this modification of the put-option provision, the Prefunded Warrants are no longer required to be classified as a liability under either ASC 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity", or ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging", guidance and do not include any embedded features that require bifurcation. Therefore, the Prefunded Warrants liability were remeasured on the modification date and reclassified to equity (See Note 8 – Sale of Common Stock and Prefunded Warrants).

 

The Company’s fair value hierarchies for its financial assets and liabilities which require fair value measurement on a recurring basis are as follows:

During the nine months ended December 25, 2021 and the year ended March 27, 2021, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 assets or liabilities reported at fair value and the valuation techniques used did not change compared to the Company’s established practice.

 

The Company’s common stock fair value is a significant Level 3 input affecting the valuation of the prefunded warrants.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities during the nine months ended December 25, 2021, which were measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
