Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies The Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company's 2019 Annual Report have not materially changed, except as set forth below. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, reference in these notes to the "Company" refer to SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Private SELLAS, SLSG Limited, LLC, Sellas Life Sciences Limited, and Apthera, Inc. The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Unaudited Interim Results These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2019 Annual Report. The accompanying consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring entries, that management believes to be necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Balance sheet amounts as of December 31, 2019 have been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. Reverse Stock Split On November 6, 2019, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a 1 - for - 50 reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, which became effective on November 7, 2019. The shares of common stock underlying the Company's outstanding options and warrants were also proportionately adjusted for the reverse stock split. In addition, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans and employee stock purchase plan were proportionately adjusted for the reverse stock split. Further, the per share exercise prices for options granted under such plans were proportionately adjusted for the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that were outstanding at November 8, 2019 from 227,800,147 to 4,549,208 , after the cancellation of fractional shares. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who otherwise held fractional shares of the Company’s common stock as a result of the reverse stock split received a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares. These consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to such reverse stock split and all share and per share amounts have been adjusted accordingly. Restricted Stock Units with Performance and Service Conditions During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Board of Directors granted restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees that vest based on performance and service conditions. The fair values of the RSUs are measured on the date of grant and are based on the Company's closing stock price on such date. Compensation expense is recognized for the number of RSUs expected to be earned, provided the requisite service period has been rendered, after assessing the probability that certain performance criteria will be met. Cumulative adjustments are recorded each quarter to reflect the estimated outcome of the performance-related conditions until the date results are determined and settled. If performance criteria are not met or are not expected to be met, any compensation expense previously recognized to date associated with the RSUs will be reversed. Net Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as warrants, stock options and unvested restricted stock that would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock. In computing the basic and diluted net loss per share, the weighted average number of shares remains the same for both calculations due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive shares are not included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 2019 Common stock warrants 1,120 354 Stock options 194 27 RSUs 170 — 1,484 381 Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In August 2018, FASB issued No. ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU No. 2018-13") . ASU No. 2018-13 modifies, adds and removes certain specific disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company's disclosures. For the new disclosure regarding our Level 3 instruments, please read Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Accounting ("ASU No. 2018-07") , which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to nonemployees for goods and services. ASU No. 2018-07 supersedes ASC 505-50 and expands the scope of ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) ("ASC 718") , to include all share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both nonemployees and employees. As a result, most of the guidance in ASC 718 associated with employee share-based payments, including most of its requirements related to classification and measurement, applies to nonemployee share-based payment arrangements. ASU No. 2018-07 generally requires an entity to use a modified retrospective transition approach, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year, for all (1) liability-classified nonemployee awards that have not been settled as of the adoption date and (2) equity-classified nonemployee awards for which a measurement date has not been established. This standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosure. |
