Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of its balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Consolidated subsidiaries results are included from the date the subsidiary was formed or acquired. Intercompany investments, balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In our consolidated financial statements, we made the following presentation changes in 2023:

 

  In our consolidated statements of operations, (i) removed the financial statement line item Gross profit, (ii) excluded depreciation and amortization expenses from the financial statement line item Cost of Revenue (iii) presented depreciation and amortization expenses in separate financial statement line item as Depreciation and amortization.

 

These presentation changes had no impact on our previously reported results of operations and were deemed immaterial.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On August 11, 2023, the Company’s board of directors authorized a reverse stock split (‘Reverse Stock Split”) at an exchange ratio of one-for-60 basis. The Reverse Stock Split was effective on August 15, 2023, such that every 60 shares of common stock have been automatically converted into one share of common stock. The Company did not issue fractional certificates for post-reverse split shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Rather, all shares of common stock that were held by a stockholder were aggregated and each stockholder was entitled to receive the number of whole shares resulting from the combination of the shares so aggregated. Any fractions resulting from the Reverse Stock Split computation were rounded up to the next whole share.

 

The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock was not adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the conversion ratio for the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock was proportionately adjusted such that the common stock issuable upon conversion of such preferred stock was decreased in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split. All references to common stock and options to purchase common stock share data, per share data and related information contained in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
