Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Note D – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, salaries and benefits payable, accrued interest, other accrued expenses and current liabilities are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets at amounts that approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial assets and liabilities.
The fair value of the Company’s debt approximates its carrying value and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as it is based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate.

Contingent Consideration
As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, contingent consideration consisted of estimated future payments related to the Company’s acquisition of Roccor in October 2020. As certain inputs are not observable in the market, contingent consideration payments are classified as Level 3 instruments and included in notes payable to seller on the consolidated balance sheets. Significant changes in the significant unobservable inputs used in the Black-Scholes OPM to determine the fair value of contingent consideration would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The Company adjusts the previous fair value estimate of contingent consideration at each reporting period based on changes in forecasted financial performance and overall risk as well as the period of time elapsed.
The purchase agreement with the sellers of Roccor awarded such sellers with a contingent right to an earnout payment from the Company upon the achievement of certain revenue milestones for the year ended December 31, 2021. The earnout amount would be based on one of the following: (i) $0 if Roccor revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 is less than $30.0 million, (ii) $1.0 million if Roccor revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 is equal to or greater than $30.0 million but less than $40.0 million, (iii) $2.0 million if Roccor revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 is equal to or greater than $40.0 million. The fair value of the Roccor contingent earnout was estimated using the Black-Scholes OPM. 

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes OPM were as follows:
Roccor Black-Scholes OPM Assumptions
Risk-free interest rate
0.1  %
Revenue discount rate
7.0  %
Revenue volatility
30.0  %
Earnout payment discount rate
4.0  %

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company paid the Roccor sellers the contingent earnout in accordance with the acquisition agreement.

Committed Equity Facility
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company evaluated the Purchase Agreement with B. Riley and determined that the committed equity facility was not indexed to the Company’s own common stock and, therefore, should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recorded a derivative asset with an initial fair value of $0.8 million based on the 127,751 shares of common stock issued to B. Riley as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase up to $80.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the derivative asset are dependent upon, among other things, changes in the closing share price of the Company’s common stock, the quantity and purchase price of shares purchased by B. Riley during the reporting period, the unused capacity under the committed equity facility as of the balance sheet date and the cost of raising other forms of capital. The Company adjusts the previous fair value estimate of the committed equity facility at each reporting period based on changes in the weighted average purchase price of shares purchased by B. Riley during the period, the unused capacity available under the committed equity facility, expected stock price volatility and other macroeconomic factors which impact the cost of raising comparable forms of capital. The changes in the fair value of the committed equity facility were a decrease of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is included in other (income) expense, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for each share of common stock is equal to 97% of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the applicable purchase date, which results in a 3% fee on the purchase of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the VWAP of shares purchased by B. Riley ranged from $2.73 to $4.29 per share.

Based on the December 31, 2022 closing price of $1.98 per share and registered shares available for purchase under the committed equity facility of 8,090,331, the Company had $16.0 million of unused capacity under the committed equity facility as of December 31, 2022. Please refer to Note P for additional information.
Private Warrants
As part of the Merger, the private warrants were established as a liability and the public warrants were established as equity. Classification of the private warrants as liability instruments and public warrants as equity instruments was based on management’s analysis of the guidance in ASC 815 and in a statement issued by the Staff of the SEC regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies.” Management determined that while the public warrants meet the definition of a derivative, they meet the equity scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) to be classified in stockholders’ equity and are not subject to remeasurement provided that the Company continues to meet the criteria for equity classification. Management considered whether the private warrants display the three characteristics of a derivative under ASC 815, and concluded that the private warrants meet the definition of a derivative. However, the private warrants fail to meet the equity scope exception in ASC 815-10-15-74(a) and thus are classified as a liability measured at fair value, subject to remeasurement at each reporting period. The Company measured the private warrant liability at fair value at the closing of the Merger and then at each reporting period with changes in fair value recognized as other (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The private warrants were valued using a modified Black-Scholes OPM, which is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the fair value per warrant and the valuation assumptions under the Black-Scholes OPM as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:
December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Fair value $ 0.17  $ 2.47 
Exercise price $ 11.50  $ 11.50 
Common stock price $ 1.98  $ 6.75 
Expected option term (years) 3.67 years 4.67 years
Expected volatility 60.70  % 60.50  %
Risk-free rate of return 4.10  % 1.21  %
Expected annual dividend yield —  % —  %
The changes in the fair value of the private warrant liability were a decrease of $17.8 million and $2.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 respectively, which are included in other (income) expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
