Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Significant Accounting Policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s prospectus that forms a part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-226920), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on September 26, 2018 (the “Prospectus”). Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no material changes to its significant accounting policies. Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018, the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, redeemable convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ equity (deficit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited. The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual audited consolidated financial statements; and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2018, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes as of September 30, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018, any other interim periods, or any future year or period. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Entasis Therapeutics Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Entasis Limited (a U.K. corporation) and Entasis Therapeutics Inc. (a U.S. corporation). The functional and reporting currency of the parent entity, Entasis Therapeutics Holdings Inc., and subsidiaries is U.S. dollars. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Prospectus. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the recognition of revenue, the recognition of research and development expenses and the valuation of common stock and options to purchase common stock. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. See Note 5 for a further discussion of accounting for revenue. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard defines a five‑step process to achieve this principle, and will require companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. ASU 2014‑09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, and is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (“ASU 2016‑08”), which further clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014‑09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , clarifying the implementation guidance on identifying performance obligations and licensing. Specifically, the amendments in this update reduce the cost and complexity of identifying promised goods or services and improve the guidance for determining whether promises are separately identifiable. The amendments in this update also provide implementation guidance on determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The Company adopted this guidance in connection with the execution of the license and collaboration agreement (the “Zai Agreement”) with Zai Lab (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Zai Lab”) in April 2018. See Note 5. Prior to the Zai Agreement, the Company did not have any revenue from contracts with customers. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra‑Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory (“ASU 2016‑16”), which requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra‑entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted this guidance, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016‑15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016‑15”). The amendments of ASU 2016‑15 were issued to address eight specific cash flow issues for which stakeholders have indicated to the FASB that a diversity in practice existed in how entities were presenting and classifying these items in the statement of cash flows. The issues addressed by ASU 2016‑15 include but are not limited to the classification of debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs, payments made for contingent consideration for a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance proceeds, distributions received from equity method investees and separately identifiable cash flows and the application of the predominance principle. The amendments of ASU 2016‑15 are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods in those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2016‑15 is required to be applied retrospectively. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted this guidance and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017‑09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017‑09”), which clarifies when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share‑based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted this guidance and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018‑07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share‑Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018‑07”), which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include share‑based payment awards to nonemployees. The amendments in ASU 2018‑07 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company early adopted this guidance and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No.2016-02 – Leases (Topic 842) , which replaces the existing accounting guidance for leases. This standard requires entities that lease assets to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases on the balance sheet. The standard is effective for fiscal years and the interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The guidance is required to be applied by the modified retrospective transition approach and early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the new lease guidance and is in the process of evaluating its existing population of contracts to ensure all contracts that meet the definition of a lease contract under the new standard are identified. As a result, the Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures and it anticipates it will result in an increase in assets and liabilities. |
