| Inventory |
Inventory
Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The costs of inventory are determined using the standard cost method, which approximates actual cost based on a first-in, first-out method. Items in inventory relate predominantly to the Company’s ClearPoint system and related disposables. Software license inventory related to ClearPoint systems undergoing on-site customer evaluation is included in inventory in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. All other software license inventory is classified as a non-current asset. The Company periodically reviews its inventory for excess and obsolete items and provides a reserve upon identification of potentially excess or obsolete items.

| Intangible Assets |
Intangible Assets
The Company is a party to a license agreement that provides rights to the Company for the development and commercialization of products. Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company made payments to the licensor upon execution of the license agreement for access to the underlying technology, and future payments will be based upon achievement of regulatory and commercialization milestones as defined in the license agreement. In 2022, the Company made a payment to the licensor for the achievement of a regulatory milestone, which acts as a prepayment for future royalties.
In conformity with Accounting Standards Codification Section (ASC) 350, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other," the Company amortizes the payments related to the license rights described above over an expected useful life of up to five years, or as commercial sales occur that are related to the royalty prepayment. In addition, the Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its investment in the license rights and records an impairment charge in the event such evaluation indicates that the Company’s investment is not likely to be recovered.

| Revenue Recognition |
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is comprised primarily of: (1) product revenue resulting from the sale of neurosurgery, navigation, therapy, and biologics and drug delivery disposable products; (2) product revenue resulting from the sale of ClearPoint capital equipment and software; (3) service revenue and case support revenue in connection with customer-sponsored preclinical and clinical trials; (4) license revenue for the granting of licenses to develop and commercialize the Company's SmartFlow Cannula devices with the Company's customers' proprietary biologics as a combination product; and (5) revenue resulting from the service, installation, training, and shipping related to ClearPoint capital equipment and software. The Company recognizes revenue when (i) control of the Company’s products is transferred to its customers or (ii) services are provided to customers, each in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive from its customers in exchange for those products and services, in a process that involves identifying the contract with a customer, identifying the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue when or as the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other obligations in a contract when it provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer and is separately identified in the contract. When a contract calls for the satisfaction of multiple performance obligations for a single contract price, the Company typically allocates the contract price among the performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone selling prices for each such performance obligation customarily charged by the Company. The Company considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has transferred control of a good or service to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit of the good or service. The Company recognizes revenue for satisfied performance obligations only when it determines there are no uncertainties regarding payment terms or transfer of control.
Lines of Business; Timing of Revenue Recognition
•Neurosurgery navigation product, biologics and drug delivery systems product, and therapy product sales: Revenue from the sale of neurosurgery navigation products (consisting of disposable products sold commercially and related to cases utilizing the Company's ClearPoint system), biologics and drug delivery products (consisting primarily of disposable products related to customer-sponsored clinical trials utilizing the ClearPoint system), and therapy products (consisting primarily of disposable laser-related products used in neurosurgical procedures) is generally based on customer purchase orders, the predominance of which require delivery within one week of the order having been placed, and is generally recognized at the point in time of shipping to the customer, which is the point at which legal title, and risks and rewards of ownership, transfer to the customer. For certain customers, legal title and risks and rewards of ownership transfer upon delivery to the customer as stated in their respective contracts, in which case revenue is recognized upon delivery.
•Capital equipment and software sales:
◦Capital equipment and software sales preceded by evaluation periods: The predominance of capital equipment and software sales (consisting of integrated computer hardware and software that are integral components of the Company's ClearPoint system) are preceded by customer evaluation periods. During these evaluation periods, installation of, and training of customer personnel on, the systems have been completed and the systems have been in operation. Accordingly, revenue from capital equipment and software sales following such evaluation periods is recognized at the point in time that the Company is in receipt of an executed purchase agreement or purchase order.
◦Capital equipment and software sales not preceded by evaluation periods: Revenue from sales of capital equipment and software not having been preceded by an evaluation period is recognized upon delivery to the customer and installation. For capital equipment that does not require installation, revenue is recognized upon shipment; however, for those customers where legal title and risks and rewards of ownership transfer upon delivery, revenue is recognized at such time.
For both types of capital equipment and software sales described above, the determination of the point in time at which to recognize revenue represents that point at which the customer has legal title, physical possession, and the risks and rewards of ownership, and the Company has a present right to payment.
•Neurosurgery navigation and therapy services: The Company recognizes revenue for such services over time as the services are delivered to the customer based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation.
•Biologics and drug delivery services and other revenue:
◦Professional and Consulting Services: The Company recognizes professional and consulting revenue over time as the services are delivered to the customer based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The Company may use output methods, such as time elapsed, or input methods, such as labor hours expended or costs incurred, to measure progress depending on which better depicts the transfer of control to the customer.
◦Clinical Service Access Fees: For contracts in which the Company receives a periodic fixed fee, irrespective of the number of cases attended by the Company's personnel or hours incurred during such periods, revenue is recognized ratably over the period covered by such fees. A time-elapsed output method is used for such fees because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service.
◦Procedure-Based Service Fees: The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time a relevant case is completed. .
◦License fees: License fees represent the use of functional intellectual property as it exists at the point in time at which the license is granted and does not require any significant development or customization. Accordingly, the Company recognizes license revenue at the point in time in which the license becomes effective and the intellectual property is made available to the customer.
◦Milestone fees: Event-based payments which are subject to the customer's achievement of specified development or regulatory milestones are included in the transaction price if, in the Company's judgment, it is probable that these milestones will be achieved and a significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will not occur. The Company re-evaluates the probability of achievement of such milestones at the end of each reporting period and adjusts the transaction price as necessary.
•Capital equipment-related services:
◦Equipment service: Revenue from service of ClearPoint capital equipment and software previously sold to customers is based on agreements with terms ranging from to three years and is recognized ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the service agreement. A time-elapsed output method is used for service revenue because the Company transfers control evenly by providing a stand-ready service.
The Company may also enter into contracts with customers who own ClearPoint capital equipment, which bundle maintenance and support services and access to software and hardware upgrades made commercially available over the term of the contract, for a single contract price, typically paid on an annual basis. The Company allocates the contract price among the performance obligations based on the relative stand-alone prices for each such performance obligation and recognizes the revenue ratably on a monthly basis. A time-elapsed output method is used as the Company is providing a stand-ready service for each of the performance obligations.
◦Installation, training and shipping: Consistent with the Company’s recognition of revenue for capital equipment and software sales as described above, fees for installation, training and shipping in connection with sales of capital equipment and software that have been preceded by customer evaluation periods are recognized as revenue at the point in time the Company is in receipt of an executed purchase order for the equipment and software. Installation, training and shipping fees related to capital equipment and software sales not having been preceded by an evaluation period are recognized as revenue concurrent with the recognition of revenue from sales of the related capital equipment.
The Company operates in one industry segment, and the predominance of its sales are to U.S.-based customers.
Payment terms under contracts with customers generally are in a range of 30-60 days after the customers’ receipt of the Company’s invoices.
The Company’s terms and conditions do not provide for a right of return unless for: (a) product defects; or (b) other conditions subject to the Company’s approval.

| Net Loss Per Share |
Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per share are the same because the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock equivalents, which comprise the Company’s outstanding common stock options and unvested restricted stock units, as described in Note 8, and the potential conversion of the Outstanding First Closing Note, as described in Note 6, would be anti-dilutive, due to the reporting of a net loss for each of the periods in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Concentration Risks and Other Risks and Uncertainties
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company may at times invest its excess cash in interest bearing accounts and U.S. government debt securities. It classifies all highly liquid investments with original stated maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash equivalents and all highly liquid investments with stated maturities of greater than three months but less than twelve months as short-term investments.
The Company holds the remainder of its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the U.S. insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. At June 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $1.0 million in bank balances that were in excess of the insured limits.
At June 30, 2024, there was one customer whose accounts receivable balance represented 11% of accounts receivable at that date. At December 31, 2023, there were four customers whose accounts receivable balances represented 28%, 26%, 16%, and 10% of accounts receivable at that date.
One pharmaceutical customer, a related party who is a stockholder, a noteholder, and whose chief executive officer is a member of the Company's Board of Directors (see Note 6), for whom the Company provides hardware, software, clinical services and market development services in support of the customer's clinical trials, and from whom the Company earns a quarterly fee, accounted for 9% and 12% of total sales in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 9% and 13% of total sales in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. There were two additional customers, who comprised 11% and 10% of the total sales in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, and two customers who comprised 14% and 13% of the total sales in the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.
Prior to granting credit to a customer, the Company generally performs credit evaluations of the customer's financial condition. In general, the Company does not require collateral from customers in connection with an extension of credit. The accounts receivable balance is reduced by an allowance for credit losses from the potential inability of the Company's customers to make required payments. The allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company evaluates the historic loss experience on the accounts receivable balance and also considers separately customers with receivable balances that may be negatively impacted by current economic developments and market conditions. The estimate is a result of the Company's ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses and future expectations.
The Company is subject to risks common to emerging companies in the medical device industry, including, but not limited to: new technological innovations; acceptance and competitiveness of its products; dependence on key
personnel; dependence on key suppliers; dependence on third-party collaboration, license and joint development partners; changes in general economic conditions and interest rates; protection of proprietary technology; compliance with changing government regulations; uncertainty of widespread market acceptance of products; access to credit for capital purchases by customers; and product liability claims. Certain components used in manufacturing have relatively few alternative sources of supply and establishing additional or replacement suppliers for such components cannot be accomplished quickly. The inability of any of these suppliers to fulfill the Company’s supply requirements may negatively impact future operating results.

| Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted |
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for calendar year-end public business entities in the 2024 annual period and in 2025 for interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2023-07 retrospectively in its 2024 annual financial reporting and its 2025 interim financial reporting, and is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The provisions of the ASU are intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The guidance may be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively and is effective for calendar year-end public business entities in the 2025 annual period and in 2026 for interim periods with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.
