Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION
ViewRay, Inc. (“ViewRay” or the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary ViewRay Technologies, Inc., designs, manufactures and markets MRIdian, an MR Image-Guided radiation therapy system to simultaneously image and treat cancer patients.
Since inception, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. has devoted substantially all of its efforts towards research and development, initial selling and marketing activities, raising capital and the manufacturing, shipment and installation of MRIdian systems. In May 2012, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. was granted clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), to sell MRIdian with Cobalt-60. ViewRay Technologies, Inc. has had the right to affix the Conformité Européene (“CE”), mark to MRIdian with Cobalt-60 in the European Economic Area (“EEA”), since November 2014. In September 2016, the Company received the rights to affix the CE mark to MRIdian Linac, and in February 2017, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market MRIdian Linac. In February 2019, the Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for advancements in MRI, 8 frames per second cine, and Functional imaging (T1/T2/DWI) and High-Speed MLC. In December 2019, we received the CE mark for these advancements in the EEA. In September 2021, the Company received 510(k) pending status from the FDA on its recent submission for new MRIdian features focused on enhancing on-table adaptive workflow efficiency and expanding clinical utility.
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from public and private offerings and available borrowings under its term loan agreement, as well as cash receipts from its sales of MRIdian systems. These have historically been sufficient to meet working capital needs, capital expenditures, operating expenses, and debt service obligations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss from operations of $83.0 million and net cash used in operations of $56.4 million. The Company believes that its existing cash balance of $149.9 million as of September 30, 2021, together with anticipated cash proceeds from sales of MRIdian systems, will be sufficient to provide liquidity to fund its obligations for at least the next 12 months.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ViewRay, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, ViewRay Technologies, Inc. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and their notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2021, and have not changed significantly since that filing.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This ASU changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. For smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, ASU 2016-13 is effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The Company does not expect significant changes to our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in order to comply with ASU 2016-13.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, an update to ASC Topic 470, Subtopic - 20, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options, and ASC Topic 815, Subtopic – 40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity. The ASU simplifies the guidance for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liability and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible instruments and amends guidance in ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, relating to the computation of earnings per share for convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years that begin after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect significant changes to our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in order to comply with ASU 2020-06.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. No significant changes were made to our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in order to comply with ASU 2020-04.

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3—Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
The assets’ or liabilities’ fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company’s financial instruments that are carried at fair value mainly consist of Level 1 assets and Level 3 liabilities. Level 1 assets include highly liquid bank deposits and money market funds, which were not material at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Level 3 liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis relate to the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants, as described in Note 9. Placement warrant liabilities are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Generally, increases (decreases) in the fair value of the underlying stock, volatility and estimated term would result in a directionally similar impact to the fair value of the warrants (see Note 9). During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, warrants to purchase 119,420 shares of common stock were exercised and the aggregate fair value upon exercise of $0.4 million was reclassified from liabilities to additional paid-in-capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, no warrants were exercised.
The gains and losses from re-measurement of Level 3 financial liabilities are recorded as part of other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $0.9 million and a loss of $2.0 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $5.6 million and a gain of $1.3 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in any periods presented.

NOTE 5. DEBT
SVB Term Loan
In December 2018, the Company entered into a term loan agreement (the “SVB Term Loan”) with Silicon Valley Bank, for a principal amount of $56.0 million. The SVB Term Loan had a maturity date of December 1, 2023 and bore interest at a rate of 6.30% per annum to be paid monthly over the term of the loan. Beginning on December 1, 2020 (or June 1, 2021, if the Company achieves a trailing twelve-month revenue of at least a specified amount and elected to apply such later date), the Company would make thirty-six equal monthly payments of principal (or thirty equal payments, if the Company so elects). In addition, upon repayment of the SVB Term Loan in full, the Company would make a final payment equal to 3.15% of the original aggregate principal amount of the SVB Term Loan.
The Company used the proceeds of the SVB Term Loan and cash on hand to repay in full its outstanding obligations under its then outstanding term loan (the “CRG Term Loan”) and to pay fees and expenses related thereto. The Company accounted for the termination of the CRG Term Loan as a debt extinguishment and recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $2.4 million from the difference between the net carrying amount of debt and the amount paid. The debt extinguishment loss includes $0.3 million in write-offs of unamortized debt discount and debt issuance costs associated with the CRG Term Loan.
The Company received net proceeds of $55.4 million after related legal and consulting fees totaling $0.6 million. Such fees are accounted for as debt discount and issuance costs and presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Debt discount, issuance costs and the final payment are amortized or accreted as interest expense over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.
On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the SVB Term Loan. The First Amendment, among other things, amended the SVB Term Loan to (i) suspend testing of the minimum revenue financial covenant for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, (ii) provide for the minimum trailing twelve-month revenue thresholds under the minimum revenue financial covenant for periods ending on the last day of fiscal quarters in fiscal years subsequent to 2020 to be determined annually at the greater of (a) a 25% cushion to revenue forecasts provided by the Company to SVB and (b) 10% year-over-year annual growth, unless otherwise agreed, (iii) increase the minimum liquidity ratio financial covenant from 1.50:1.00 to 1.75:1.00 and (iv) increase the prepayment premium from 1.00% to 2.00% for amounts prepaid under the SVB Term Loan prior to the maturity date thereof, subject to certain exceptions.
On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the SVB Term Loan. The Second Amendment, among other things, amended the SVB Term Loan to (i) increase the term loan agreement principal amount from $56.0 million to $58.0 million, (ii) revise the thirty-six equal monthly payments of principal to begin on November 1, 2022, (iii) revise the maturity date to October 1, 2025, (iv) decrease the interest rate from a fixed rate of 6.3% to a floating rate of 2.4% above the Prime Rate, (v) increase the final payment from 3.15% of the original aggregate principal amount to 3.7% of the revised aggregate principal amount, (vi) revise the minimum trailing twelve-month revenue thresholds under the minimum revenue financial covenant for periods ending on the last day of fiscal quarters in fiscal years subsequent to 2020, (vii) decrease the minimum liquidity ratio financial covenant from 1.75:1.00 to 1.70:1.00, (viii) remove the minimum cash balance as a condition of the minimum revenue financial covenant and the minimum liquidity ratio financial covenant, and (ix) increase the prepayment premium from 2.00% to 3.00% for the first 30 months of the term for amounts prepaid under the SVB Term Loan prior to the maturity date thereof, subject to certain exceptions. In connection with the execution of the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to pay the earned portion of the final payment, which equated to $0.8 million.
The SVB Term Loan requires that the Company maintain a minimum cash balance in accounts at Silicon Valley Bank or one of its affiliates or else comply with a liquidity ratio and/or a minimum revenue financial covenant. The SVB Term Loan is secured by substantially all assets of the Company, except that the collateral does not include any intellectual property held by the Company, provided, however, the collateral does include all accounts and proceeds of such intellectual property.
The SVB Term Loan contains customary representations and warranties and customary affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, investments, mergers, dispositions, prepayment of other indebtedness, dividends and other distributions and transactions with affiliates.
The SVB Term Loan includes standard events of default, including, among other things, subject in certain cases to customary grace periods, thresholds and notice requirements, the Company’s failure to fulfill its obligations under the SVB
Term Loan or the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company's business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise). In the event of default by the Company under the SVB Term Loan, Silicon Valley Bank would be entitled to exercise its remedies thereunder, including the right to accelerate the debt, upon which the Company may be required to repay all amounts then outstanding under the SVB Term Loan, which could harm the Company's financial condition.
The Company’s scheduled future payments on the SVB Term Loan at September 30, 2021 are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Operating Leases
The Company entered into agreements to lease office space in Oakwood Village, Ohio, Mountain View, California and Denver, Colorado under noncancelable operating lease agreements. The Company leases and occupies approximately 19,800 square feet of office space in Oakwood Village, Ohio, which expires in October 2026. The Company entered into an office lease agreement to lease approximately 25,500 square feet of office space located in Mountain View, California, with an expiration date of July 2025. Additionally, the Company entered into a lease agreement to lease additional office space in Mountain View, California of approximately 24,600 square feet, which will expire in December 2025. The Company has the option to extend the term of the lease for a period of up to five years. The Company also entered into a sub-lease agreement to lease approximately 19,800 square feet of office space located in Denver, Colorado which commenced in June 2019 and expired in June 2021. Beginning in July 2021, the Company is under a month-to-month tenancy for this office space. On March 3, 2021, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement to lease approximately 12,800 square feet of office space in Denver, Colorado. This sub-lease commenced on September 1, 2021 and will expire October 31, 2024.
In recognition of the right-of-use assets and the related lease liabilities, the options to extend the lease term have not been included as the Company is not reasonably certain that it will exercise any such option. At September 30, 2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term in years is 3.9 years and the weighted-average discount rate used is 7.6%.

Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability for legal proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued.
Class Action Litigation
On September 13, 2019, a class action complaint for violation of federal securities laws was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio against the Company, its chief executive officer, chief scientific officer, and former chief financial officer. On December 19, 2019, the court appointed Plymouth County Retirement Association as the lead plaintiff, and on February 28, 2020 the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint asserting securities fraud claims against the Company, its chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief scientific officer, and former chief executive officer and former chief financial officer. Now captioned Plymouth County Retirement Association v. ViewRay, Inc., et al., the amended complaint alleges that the Company violated federal securities laws by issuing materially false and misleading statements that failed to disclose adverse facts concerning its business, operations, and financial results, and seeks damages, interest, and other relief. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on May 28, 2020. While the initial motion to dismiss was pending, the plaintiff was granted leave to file a second amended complaint. A motion to dismiss the second amended complaint was filed on September 16, 2020. On August 25, 2021, the District Court dismissed the lead plaintiff’s complaint, with prejudice. On September 17, 2021, the lead plaintiff filed notice of its intent to appeal the District Court’s opinion and order dismissing the complaint to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Company believes the appeal is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the litigation.
Stockholder Derivative Lawsuit
On July 22, 2020, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed against ViewRay (as a nominal defendant) and certain of its current and former officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. This action alleges, purportedly on behalf of ViewRay, that the officers and directors violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, breached their fiduciary duties, wasted corporate assets, and were unjustly enriched based on factual assertions substantially similar to those in the class action complaint described above. The complaint seeks, among other things, damages awarded to ViewRay, restitution and disgorgement of profits in an unspecified amount, and corporate reforms. Due to the overlap between the allegations in the derivative complaint and those in the putative securities class action complaint, this lawsuit is presently stayed pending the decision on the appeal by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Given the uncertainty and stage of each of the litigation matters described above, at this time the Company is unable to reasonably estimate possible losses or form a judgment that an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and one or more unfavorable outcomes in any claim or litigation against the Company could have a material adverse effect in the period in which they are resolved and on the Company’s business generally. In addition, regardless of their merits or their ultimate outcomes, lawsuits and legal proceedings are costly, divert management attention and may materially adversely affect the Company’s reputation, even if resolved in the Company’s favor.
Purchase Commitments
At September 30, 2021, the Company had $4.9 million in outstanding firm purchase commitments.
NOTE 7. REVENUE
The Company derives revenue primarily from the sale of MRIdian systems and related services as well as support and maintenance services on sold systems. Revenue is categorized as product revenue, service revenue and distribution rights revenue.

Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations
The Company frequently enters into sales arrangements that include multiple performance obligations. Such performance obligations mainly consist of (i) sale of MRIdian systems, which generally includes installation and embedded software, and (ii) product support, which includes extended service and maintenance. For such arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling price (“SSP”), is determined based on observable prices at which the Company separately sells the products and services. If an SSP is not directly observable, the Company will estimate the SSP considering market conditions or internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
Product Revenue
Product revenue is derived primarily from the sales of MRIdian systems. The system contains both software and non-software components that together deliver essential functionality.
For contracts in which control of the system transfers upon delivery and inspection, the Company recognizes revenue for the systems at the point in time when delivery and inspection by the customer has occurred. For these same contracts, the Company recognizes installation revenue over the period of installation as the installation services are performed and control is transferred to the customer. For all contracts in which control transfers upon post-installation customer acceptance, revenue for the system and installation are recognized upon customer acceptance.
Certain customer contracts with distributors do not require ViewRay to complete installation at the ultimate user site, and the distributors may either perform the installation themselves or hire another party to perform the installation. For sales of
MRIdian systems for which the Company is not responsible for installation, revenue recognition generally occurs when the entire system is shipped, which is when the control of the system is transferred to the customer.
Service Revenue
Service revenue is derived primarily from maintenance services. The maintenance and support service is a stand-ready obligation which is performed over the term of the arrangement and, as a result, service revenue is recognized ratably over the service period as the customers benefit from the service throughout the service period.
Distribution Rights Revenue
In December 2014, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Itochu Corporation pursuant to which it appointed Itochu as its exclusive distributor for the promotion, sale and delivery of its MRIdian products within Japan. In consideration of the exclusive distribution rights granted, the Company received $4.0 million, which was recorded as deferred revenue. Starting in August 2016, the distribution rights revenue is recognized ratably over the remaining term of the distribution agreement of approximately 8.5 years. A time-elapsed method is used to measure progress because control is transferred evenly over the remaining contractual period.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in short-term and long-term trade receivables, customer deposits, deferred revenues and deferred cost of revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Trade receivables are recorded at the original invoiced amount, net of an estimated allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis. The Company occasionally provides for long-term trade credit for its maintenance services so that the period between when the services are rendered to its customers and when the customers pay for that service is within one year. Thus, the Company’s trade receivables do not bear interest or contain a significant financing component. Long-term trade receivables of $6.0 million and $0.1 million were reported within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2021 and at December 31, 2020, respectively. These amounts are billed in accordance with the terms of the customer contracts to which they relate and are expected to be collected two to three years from the date of invoice as the underlying maintenance services are rendered. At times, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in an unbilled receivable which represents a contract asset. This contract asset is recorded as an unbilled receivable and reported as part of accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the contract asset was $8.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history of the respective customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability of trade receivables are included in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the estimated allowance for credit losses. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables. There were no estimated allowances for doubtful accounts recorded at September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Customer deposits represent payments received in advance of system installation. For domestic and international sales, advance payments received prior to inventory shipments are recorded as customer deposits. Advance payments are subsequently reclassified to deferred revenue upon inventory shipment. All customer deposits, including those that are expected to be a deposit for more than one year, are classified as current liabilities based on consideration of the Company’s normal operating cycle (the time between acquisition of the inventory components and the final cash collection from customers on these inventory components) which is in excess of one year.
Deferred revenue consists of deferred product revenue and deferred service revenue. Deferred product revenue arises from timing differences between the fulfillment of contract obligations and satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with the Company’s revenue recognition policy. Deferred service revenue results from the advance billing for services to be delivered over a period of time. Deferred revenues expected to be realized within one year or normal operating cycle are classified as current liabilities.
Deferred cost of revenue consists of cost for inventory items that have been shipped, but revenue recognition has not yet occurred. Deferred cost of revenue is included as part of current assets as the corresponding deferred product revenue is expected to be realized within one year or the Company’s normal operating cycle.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $1.6 million and $2.0 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the reporting period, respectively. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $8.5 million and $7.4 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the reporting period, respectively.
Variable Consideration
The Company records revenue from customers in an amount that reflects the transaction price it expects to be entitled to after transferring control of those goods or services. The Company estimates the transaction price at contract inception, including any variable consideration, and updates the estimate each reporting period for any changes. There were no amounts recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 from performance obligations satisfied in the prior period.
NOTE 8. EQUITY FINANCING
Public Offering of Common Stock
On January 4, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Piper Sandler & Co., as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “2021 Underwriters”), with respect to the issuance and sale of 11,856,500 shares of our common stock, which included the full exercise of the 2021 Underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price to the public of $4.85 per share. The Company completed the offering on January 7, 2021 and received net proceeds of approximately $53.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
At-The-Market Offering of Common Stock
In January 2019, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC which covers the offering, issuance and sale of up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $250.0 million of its common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants, purchase contracts and/or units, including up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common shares pursuant to an at-the-market offering program with FBR Capital Markets & Co., now known as B. Riley Securities. Under this at-the-market offering program, the Company did not sell any shares of its common stock during the years ended December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020, or during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The consummation of the January 2021 public offering of common stock effectively reduced the common shares available for issuance under the at-the-market offering program to approximately $42.9 million.
NOTE 9. WARRANTS
Equity Classified Common Stock Warrants
In connection with the merger of the Company and ViewRay Technologies, Inc. (the “Merger”), in July and August 2015, the Company conducted a private placement offering as part of which the Company issued warrants (the “2015 Placement Warrants”), that provide the warrant holder the right to purchase 198,760 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share. The 2015 Placement Warrants are exercisable at any time at the option of the holder until the five-year anniversary of its date of issuance. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company issued 92,487 shares of its common stock upon the net exercise of 159,010 shares of the 2015 Placement Warrants. The remaining 39,750 shares of the 2015 Placement Warrants expired in July and August 2020 and no warrants remained outstanding at September 30, 2021.
In connection with a March 2018 direct registered offering (the “March 2018 Direct Registered Offering”), the Company issued (i) 4,090,000 shares of its common stock; (ii) 3,000,581 shares of its Series A convertible preferred stock and (iii) warrants to purchase 1,418,116 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.31 per share (the “2018 Offering Warrants”). The 2018 Offering Warrants became exercisable upon issuance and expire in March 2025. None of the 2018 Offering Warrants have been exercised to date and they all remained outstanding at September 30, 2021.
As separate classes of securities were issued in a bundled transaction, the gross proceeds from the March 2018 Direct Registered Offering of $59.1 million were allocated to common stock, Series A convertible preferred stock and the 2018
Offering Warrants based on their respective relative fair value upon issuance. The aggregate fair value of the 2018 Offering Warrants of $7.4 million was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Liability Classified Common Stock Warrants
In connection with private placement offerings in 2016 and 2017 (the “2016 and 2017 Private Placements”), the Company issued warrants that provide the warrant holder the right to purchase 1,720,512 and 1,380,745 shares of common stock (the “2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants”, respectively). The 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants contain protection whereby the warrant holders will have the right to receive cash in the amount equal to the Black-Scholes value of the warrants upon the occurrence of a change of control, as defined in the warrant agreement. The 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants were accounted for as a liability at the date of issuance and are adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date, with the change in fair value recorded as a component of other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $5.6 million and a gain of $1.3 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants. The fair value of the 2017 and 2016 Placement Warrants at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions:

NOTE 10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had an active stock-based incentive compensation plan, an employee stock purchase plan and an equity inducement plan: the 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan (as amended and restated, the “2015 Plan”), the 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended and restated, the “ESPP”), and the 2018 Equity Inducement Award Program (the “2018 Plan”), respectively. All new equity compensation grants are issued under these three plans; however, outstanding awards previously issued under inactive plans will continue to vest and remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of the respective plans.
The 2015 Plan and the 2018 Plan provide for the grant of stock and stock-based awards including stock options, restricted stock units (including deferred stock units), performance-based stock units, and stock appreciation rights. As of September 30, 2021, there were 5.7 million shares available for grant under the 2015 Plan and 2018 Plan.

The Company’s stock-based compensation expense is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that are ultimately expected to vest, assuming estimated forfeitures at the time of grant. Stock-based compensation relating to stock-based awards granted to consultants was insignificant for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Stock Units and Performance Share Units (collectively “Incentive Stock Units” or “ISUs”)
The Company grants Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), to its board of directors and employees for their services. Additionally, the Company grants Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”), to its board of directors at their election in lieu of retainer and committee service fees.
The DSUs granted to board members are either fully vested upon issuance or vest over a period of time from the grant date and will be released and settled upon termination of the board member’s services, the occurrence of a change in control event, or the tenth anniversary of the grant date.
The RSUs are generally granted with a grant date fair value equal to the market price of our stock on the date of grant and generally vest in equal annual or monthly installments over a period of one to three years from the grant date and are subject to the participants continuing service to the Company over that period. The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSUs granted nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 was $4.82 per share, and $2.78 per share, respectively.
In March 2021, the Company introduced a performance share plan (the “2021 PSU Plan”) as a component of its equity grants for 2021. The 2021 PSU Plan provides for the award of performance share units (“PSUs”) to employees which will be awarded based on the achievement of performance targets in the Company’s compound annual revenue growth rate over a three-year period.

The total grant date fair value of ISUs awarded was $16.1 million and $16.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The total fair value of ISUs vested was $24.2 million, and $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
At September 30, 2021, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to ISUs, net of estimated forfeitures, was $17.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. As of September 30, 2021, 6.4 million shares of ISUs are expected to vest.
Stock Options
Stock options awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant and with a four-year vesting schedule. Stock option awards generally expire 10 years from the date of grant.

There were no options granted to employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted to employees was $1.20 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock and the exercise price of outstanding, in-the-money options. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised was nominal for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
At September 30, 2021, total unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted to employees, net of estimated forfeitures, was $5.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.
The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. The variables used to calculate the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, expected price volatility of the Company’s common stock, the risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Each of these inputs is subjective and generally requires significant judgment to determine.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes, with maturities similar to the expected term of the options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company began to determine volatility by solely using the Company’s own historical volatility measurements, since more than four years of historical data became available in the public market. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company determined the volatility for stock options granted based on the average historical price volatility for the Company and industry peers over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants.
The forfeiture rate of stock options is estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures have been estimated by the Company based upon historical and expected forfeiture experience.
The fair value of employee stock options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
In July 2015, the Company adopted the ESPP. Certain employees, as defined by the ESPP, are eligible to participate in the ESPP if employed by the Company for at least 20 hours per week during at least five months per calendar year. Participating employees may contribute up to the lesser of 15% of their eligible earnings or $30,000 during each offering period, provided that in no event shall a participating employee be permitted to purchase more than 3,000 shares of common stock during each offering period.
During 2021, the first offering period provided to eligible employees is January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021. The purchase price of common stock purchased under the ESPP is currently equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of a share of common stock on: (1) the first trading day of an offering period and (2) the last trading of each offering period. At September 30, 2021, 3.5 million shares were reserved for issuance under the ESPP. No more than 3.5 million shares of common stock may be issued under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2021, 0.3 million shares have been issued under the ESPP and 3.2 million shares remained available for future issuance under the ESPP. Purchase rights granted under the ESPP are valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
NOTE 11. INCOME TAX
Due to the current operating losses, the Company recorded zero income tax expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During these periods, the Company’s activities were limited to U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions, as it does not have any significant foreign operations.
Due to the Company’s history of cumulative losses and after considering all the available objective evidence, management concluded that it is not more likely than not that all of the Company’s net deferred tax assets will be realized in the future. Accordingly, the Company’s deferred tax assets, which include net operating loss (“NOL”), carryforwards and tax credits related primarily to research and development, continue to be subject to a valuation allowance as of September 30, 2021. The Company expects to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until there is sufficient evidence to support recoverability of its deferred tax assets.
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $3.2 million and $2.7 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The reversal of the uncertain tax benefits would not affect the effective tax rate to the extent that the Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. Unrecognized tax benefits may change during the next 12 months for items that arise in the ordinary course of business.
Interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters are recognized as a component of income tax expense. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The enactment of the CARES Act did not result in any material adjustments to our income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.
NOTE 12. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents and is computed using the weighted-average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 excluded common stock equivalents because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive or would decrease the reported loss per share. The following table sets forth securities outstanding that could potentially dilute the calculation of diluted earnings per share:

In December 2004, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with the University of Florida Research Foundation (“UFRF”) whereby UFRF granted the Company a worldwide exclusive license to certain of UFRF’s patents in exchange for 33,652 shares of common stock and a 1% royalty, with a minimum $0.1 million royalty payment per quarter, from sales of products developed and sold by the Company utilizing the licensed patents. Minimum royalty payments in any calendar year are credited against earned royalties for such calendar year. Royalty expenses based on 1% of net sales were $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and were recorded as product cost of revenue. Royalty expenses based on 1% of net sales were $0.3 million and $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and were recorded as product cost of revenue.
In November 2019, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Chindex Shanghai International Trading Company Limited (“Chindex”) which became effective in February 2020. Chindex is a subsidiary of Fosun International Limited (“Fosun”).
Under the distribution agreement, Chindex will act as the Company’s distributor and regulatory agent for the sale and delivery of its MRIdian products within the People’s Republic of China, excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The distribution agreement has an initial term of five years with an option to renew for an additional five years. Under the distribution agreement, the Company will supply its products and services to Chindex based on an agreed upon price between the Company and Chindex. In accordance with the agreement, Chindex agreed to pay ViewRay an upfront fee, portions of which may be refundable under certain conditions, of $3.5 million, payable in three installments: (i) the first installment of $1.5 million due approximately 60 days after the effectiveness of the distribution agreement; (ii) the second installment of $1.0 million due on the first anniversary from the effective date of the agreement; and (iii) the third installment of $1.0 million due on the second anniversary from the effective date of the agreement. The Company has received the first and second installment of this payment as of September 30, 2021.
