Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Kindred Biosciences, Inc. ("KindredBio", "we", "us" or "our") was incorporated on September 25, 2012 (inception) in the State of Delaware. On April 25, 2016, we filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware for a wholly owned subsidiary, KindredBio Equine, Inc. ("KindredBio Equine"). KindredBio Equine has one class of capital stock which is designated common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The authorized number of shares of common stock for KindredBio Equine is 1,000 . On February 1, 2019, we filed a Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware for a wholly owned subsidiary, Centaur Biopharmaceutical Services, Inc. ("Centaur Biopharmaceutical Services"). Centaur Biopharmaceutical Services has one class of capital stock which is designated common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. The authorized number of shares of common stock for Centaur Biopharmaceutical Services is 1,000 . We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on saving and improving the lives of pets. Our activities since inception have consisted principally of raising capital, establishing facilities, recruiting management and technical staff and performing research and development and advancing our product candidates seeking regulatory approval. Our headquarters are located in Burlingame, California. We are subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. There can be no assurance that our research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate patent or other intellectual property protection for our technology will be obtained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. We operate in an environment of substantial competition from other animal health companies. In addition, we are dependent upon the services of our employees and consultants, as well as third-party contract research organizations and manufacturers. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in our annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 6, 2019. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in these financial statements. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Kindred Biosciences and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Stock Offerings In January 2018, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 to offer and sell, from time to time, equity and debt securities in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $150.0 million. In May 2018, we entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, or the Sales Agreement, relating to the sale of up to $50,000,000 of our common stock from time to time. We terminated the Sales Agreement in June 2018 after having sold 188,100 shares, representing gross proceeds of approximately $1,903,000 . Net proceeds, after deducting commission, fees and offering costs, were approximately $1,758,000 . On June 22, 2018 we completed a public offering of 5,326,314 shares of common stock, which included the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $9.50 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $50,600,000 . Net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expense, were approximately $47,422,000 . In January 2019, we completed a public offering of 4,847,250 shares of common stock, which includes the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase 632,250 additional shares of our common stock, at a public offering price of $9.50 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $46,049,000 . Net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expense, were approximately $43,125,000 . Liquidity We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations and had an accumulated deficit of $192,032,000 as of June 30, 2019 . We expect to continue to incur losses and negative cash flows, which will increase significantly from historical levels as we expand our product development activities, seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates, establish a biologics manufacturing capability, and commercialize any approved products. To date, we have been funded primarily through sales of our former convertible preferred stock and the sale of our common stock. We might require additional capital until such time as we can generate operating revenues in excess operating expenses. We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $79,581,000 as of June 30, 2019 , are sufficient to fund our planned operations for at least the next 18 months. If we require additional funding for operations, we may seek such funding through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, such as corporate collaborations and licensing arrangements. We may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and we may not be able to enter into corporate collaborations or licensing arrangements. The terms of any financing may result in dilution or otherwise adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders. Revenue Recognition We adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 (“ASC 606”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers in the first quarter of our fiscal year that began on January 1, 2018. Our revenues consist of product revenues resulting from the sale of Mirataz™ (mirtazapine transdermal ointment) for the management of weight loss in cats . We account for a contract with a customer when there is a legally enforceable contract between us and our customer, the rights of the parties are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability of the contract consideration is probable. Our customers could either be distributors who subsequently resell our products to third parties such as veterinarians, clinics or animals hospitals or the third parties themselves. In accordance with ASC 606, we applied the following steps to recognize revenue for the sale of Mirataz that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for the promised goods: 1. Identify the contract with a customer A contract with a customer exists when we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer. These contracts define each party's rights, payment terms and other contractual terms and conditions of the sale. We apply judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. 2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract Our product in a given purchase order is delivered at the same time and we do not separate an individual order into separate performance obligations. We have concluded the sale of finished goods and related shipping and handling are accounted for as a single performance obligation as there are no other promises to deliver goods beyond what is specified in each accepted customer order. 3. Determine the transaction price The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods to the customer, typically a fixed consideration in our contractual agreements. 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations The transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation to provide pharmaceutical products. The nature of the promises/obligations under our contracts is to transfer a distinct good. Accordingly, because a single performance obligation exists, no allocation of the transaction price is necessary. 5. Determine the satisfaction of performance obligation Revenue is recognized when control of the finished goods is transferred to the customer, net of applicable reserves for variable consideration. Control of the finished goods is transferred at a point in time, upon delivery to the customer. Reserves for Variable Consideration Revenues from product sales are recorded at the net sales price, which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established. Components of variable consideration include product returns, allowances and discounts. These estimates take into consideration a range of possible outcomes for the expected value (probability-weighted estimate) or relevant factors such as current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data, and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which it is entitled based on the terms of the respective underlying contracts. The amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized where the contract will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenues and earnings in the period such variances become known. Product Returns Consistent with the industry practice, we generally offer customers a limited right of return of damaged or expired product that has been purchased directly from us. Our return policy generally allows customers to receive credit for expired products within 90 days after the product’s expiration date. We estimate the amount of our product revenues that may be returned by our customers and record these estimates as a reduction of product revenues in the period the related product revenues are recognized, as well as within accrued liabilities, in the consolidated balance sheets. We currently estimate product return liabilities using probability-weighted available industry data and data provided by the our distributors such as the inventories remaining in the distribution channel. To-date, we have no returns and believe that returns of our product in future periods will be minimal. We do not record a return asset associated with the returned damaged or expired goods due to such asset is deemed to be fully impaired at the time of product return. Sales Discounts and Allowances We compensate our distributors for sales order management, data and distribution and other services through sales discounts and allowances. However, such services are not distinct from our sale of products to distributors and, therefore, these discounts and allowances are recorded as a reduction of product revenues in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, as well as a reduction to accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets. Sales Commissions We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within sales and marketing expenses. Cost of Product Revenues Cost of product revenues c onsists primarily of the cost of direct materials, direct labor and overhead costs associated with manufacturing, inbound shipping and other third-party logistics costs. Inventories We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We determine the cost of inventory using the standard-cost method, which approximates actual cost based on a first-in, first-out method. We analyze our inventory levels quarterly and write down inventory subject to expire in excess of expected requirements, or that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net realizable value. These inventory related costs are recognized as cost of product revenues on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Currently our inventory consists of finished goods only. Property, Plant and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We calculate depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from two to five years for furniture, fixtures, lab and computer equipment and software, and fifteen to thirty-nine years for land improvements and real property. Land and assets held within construction in progress are not depreciated. Construction in progress is related to the construction or development of property and equipment that have not yet been placed in service for their intended use. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of assets are charged to expense as incurred. We amortize leasehold improvements using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of assets disposed of are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in other income/expense. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Estimates are based historical experiences or on forecasts, including information received from third parties and other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Comprehensive Loss Our comprehensive loss includes the change in unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The cumulative amount of gains or losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", requiring organizations that lease assets—referred to as “lessees”—to recognize on the consolidated balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The ASU on leases took effect for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2019, using the alternative modified transition method, that means using a cumulative-effect adjustment, if any, to the opening balance of retained earnings to be recognized on the date of adoption with prior periods not restated. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment needed on January 1, 2019. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. We elected the following "package of practical expedients" when assessing the transition impact as the lessee as of January 1, 2019: (1) not to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts, contain leases; (2) not to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) not to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet as we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The major impact for KindredBio was the balance sheet recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities for operating leases as a lessee. We determine if an agreement contains a lease at inception. For agreements where we are the lessee, operating lease are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and long-term portion operating lease liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 . Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentive received. We use our own incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. Lease terms don't include options to extend or terminate when we are reasonably certain that the option will not be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)", changes to disclosure requirements for fair value measurement. The amendments of this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements about Topic 820. It applies to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. It will take effect for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the new guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our financial statements. We do not believe there are any other recently issued standards not yet effective that will have a material impact on our financial statements when the standards become effective. |
