2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements. Such interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented and of a normal recurring nature. This quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. All information is presented in thousands, except per share amounts and where specifically noted.
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Limelight and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In addition, certain other reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results and outcomes may differ from those estimates. The results of operations presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021, or for any future periods.
Recent Accounting Standards
Adopted Accounting Standards            
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12 to simplifying the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions to the general principles in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 740 related to intra-period tax allocation, simplifies when companies recognize deferred taxes in an interim period, and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistent application. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates certain models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features, in certain cases. Additionally, among other changes, the guidance eliminates certain of the conditions for equity classification for contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. We early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021, on a modified retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2020-06, our total remaining interest expense over the contractual terms of our convertible debt will be approximately $20,823 less than under the previous accounting standards. The adoption resulted in a $21,733 decrease in additional paid in capital from the derecognition of the bifurcated equity component, $20,255 increase in debt from the derecognition of the discount associated with the bifurcated equity component and $1,677 decrease to the opening balance of accumulated deficit, representing the cumulative interest expense recognized related to the
10
Table of Contents
amortization of the bifurcated conversion option. We wrote-off the related deferred tax liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance, resulting in no net tax impact to the cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, which provides amendments to improve, simplify, and provide consistency for recognition and measurement of acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination. The amendments require that an acquirer recognize and measure such contract assets and contract liabilities under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments also allow for election of certain practical expedients, which are applied on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. The new accounting amendments are effective for us beginning in fiscal 2023 with prospective application. Early adoption is permitted, including in any interim period, and if elected, the amendments are applied retrospectively for any acquisitions that occurred in the fiscal year of interim adoption. We expect to early adopt this ASU and are evaluating the impacts of the amendments on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in the significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed in our Annual Report, except for restructuring charge, convertible senior notes, business combinations, finite intangible assets and share-based compensation as described below:
Restructuring Charges
We account for restructuring costs under ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Obligations. Restructuring costs are recognized when the liability is incurred. A restructuring liability related to employee terminations is recorded when a one-time benefit arrangement is communicated to an employee who is involuntarily terminated as part of a reorganization and the amount of the termination benefit is known, provided that the employee is not required to render future services in order to receive the termination benefit. If fixed assets, or other assets are to be disposed of as a result of our restructuring efforts, the assets are written off when we commit to dispose of them, and they are no longer in use. If applicable, depreciation is accelerated on fixed assets for the period of time the asset continues to be used until the asset ceases to be used. Other restructuring costs are generally recorded as the cost is incurred or the service is provided.
Convertible Senior Notes
In July 2020, we issued $125,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.50% convertible senior notes. Effective January 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU 2020-06. The conversion option that was previously accounted for under the cash conversion model or beneficial conversion feature model was recombined into a single instrument that is classified as a liability for convertible debt or equity for equity-classified preferred stock.
Business Combinations                         
In accounting for acquisitions through which a set of assets and activities are transferred to us, we perform an initial test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets transferred are concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, such that the acquisition would not represent a business. If the initial test does not result in substantially all of the fair value concentrated in a single or group of similar assets, we then perform a second test to evaluate whether the assets and activities transferred include inputs and substantive processes that, together, significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs, which would constitute a business. If the result of the second test indicates that the acquired assets and activities constitute a business, we account for the transaction as a business combination.
For our business combinations, we allocate the purchase consideration of the acquisition, which includes the estimated acquisition date fair value of contingent consideration (if applicable), to the tangible assets, liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on each of the estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair values is recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of such items requires judgment, including estimating future cash flows or the cost to recreate an acquired asset.
Acquisition-related expenses are expensed as incurred, except for those costs incurred to issue debt or equity securities (if applicable), and are included in general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations. During and up to the one-year period beginning with the acquisition date, we may record certain purchase accounting adjustments related to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed against goodwill. After the final determination of the fair value of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities assumed from an acquisition are remeasured each reporting period after the acquisition date and the changes in the estimated fair value, if any, are recorded within operating expenses in our consolidated
11
Table of Contents
statement of operations for such period. In accounting for income taxes in a business combination, changes in the deferred tax asset valuations allowance and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date will be recognized through income tax expense in our consolidated statement of operations each reporting period.
The results of operations of the acquired business are included in our consolidated statement of operations since the date of acquisition.
Finite Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over the following estimated useful lives:

Trade name3.0 years
Customer relationships5.0 years
Technology7.0 years
Our finite-lived intangible assets are primarily amortized on a straight-line basis. We annually evaluate the estimated remaining useful lives of our intangible assets to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.
Long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the sum of the expected long-term undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate is less than its carrying amount. Any write-downs are treated as permanent reductions in the carrying amount of the respective asset. Our analysis did not indicate impairment during any of the periods presented.
Share-Based Compensation
We account for our share-based compensation awards using the fair-value method. The grant date fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton valuation calculation requires us to make key assumptions such as future stock price volatility, expected terms, risk-free rates, and dividend yield. Our expected volatility is derived from our volatility rate as a publicly traded company. The expected term is based on our historical experience. The risk-free interest factor is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for zero coupon United States Treasury notes with maturities of approximately equal to each grant’s expected term. We have never paid cash dividends and do not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and therefore, we have assumed a 0% dividend yield.
We apply the straight-line attribution method to recognize compensation costs associated with awards that are not subject to graded vesting. For awards subject to graded vesting, we recognize expense separately for each vesting tranche. We regularly estimate when and if performance-based award will be earned and record expense over the estimated service period only for awards considered probable of being earned. Any previously recognized expense is reversed in the period in which an award is determined to no longer be probable of being earned.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
For contracts that contain minimum commitments over the contractual term, we estimate an amount of variable consideration by using the expected value method. We include estimates of variable consideration in revenue only when we have a high degree of confidence that revenue will not be reversed in a subsequent reporting period. We believe that the expected value method is the most appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration. These clients have entered into contracts with contract terms generally from one to four years. As of September 30, 2021, we have approximately $4,051 of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations. We recognized revenue of approximately $2,418 and $1,911, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, related to these types of contracts with our clients. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized approximately $6,774 and $6,008, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately 47% of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations in 2021, approximately 51% in 2022, and approximately 2% in 2023.

We recorded deferred revenue of $2,479 in accordance with the allocation of purchase consideration related to the acquisition of Moov Corporation (Moov). Deferred revenue is primarily driven by payments received in advance of satisfying our performance obligations. We recognized approximately $498 in September 2021 that was included in the deferred revenue purchase consideration allocation. The deferred revenue balance of approximately $1,981 as of September 30, 2021 represents our aggregate remaining performance obligations that will be recognized as revenue over the period in which the performance obligations are satisfied. We expect to recognize approximately 46% of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligations in 2021, and approximately 54% in 2022.
3. Business Acquisition
In September 2021, we closed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Moov, a California corporation doing business as Layer0, a sub-scale SaaS based application acceleration and developer support platform, for total purchase consideration of $52,487. The total purchase consideration included $34,054 in cash, and 6,878 shares of our common stock valued at $18,433 at the acquisition date.
In connection with this transaction, a shareholder of Moov entered into an employment agreement with us. As part of the employment agreement, the employee will receive contingent consideration of approximately $4,300 to be paid out ratably over a three year period on each anniversary of the acquisition closing date if the employee remains employed by us. As the employee is required to render services to us following the acquisition, this contingent consideration is not included in the purchase consideration.
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the operating results of Moov have been included in our consolidated financial statements as of the closing date of the acquisition. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the aggregate amount of consideration paid by us was allocated to Moov net tangible assets and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition closing date. The excess of the purchase price over the value of the net tangible assets and intangible assets was recorded to goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were based upon our conclusion that there are strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. Goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes, represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and is primarily attributable to the technology, customer relationships and trade name of the acquired business and expected synergies at the time of the acquisition.
We retained an independent third-party valuation firm to assist management in our valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities.
The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price for Moov:
Consideration:
Cash$34,054 
Common stock18,433 
Total consideration$52,487 
The fair value of our common stock consideration of 6,878 shares, is based on the closing price of our common stock of $2.68 per share on the acquisition closing date.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase consideration to the acquisition date fair value of the assets, including intangible assets, liabilities assumed and related goodwill acquired:

Certain amounts noted above are preliminary and subject to change during the respective measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as we obtain additional information for the preliminary fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The primary preliminary estimates that are not yet finalized relate to certain assets and liabilities assumed, identifiable intangible assets, income and non-income based taxes and residual goodwill.
The fair value of the acquired intangible assets were determined as follows, trade name - income approach using the relief from royalty methodology, customer relationships - utilizing the cost approach methodology, and technology - excess earnings methodology under the income approach. The weighted-average amortization period of the acquired intangible assets was 6.4 years at acquisition.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, Moov represented $817 of our total revenue and $450 of our consolidated net loss. For the period January 1, 2021 to the acquisition closing date, Moov's unaudited revenue was approximately $8,969, and their net loss was approximately $628. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Moov's unaudited revenue was approximately $13,400, and their net loss was approximately $600.
Transaction costs incurred by us in connection with the Moov acquisition were $1,263 and $1,441 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and were recorded within general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.
