SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | (2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Preparation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31, 2021. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have also been made within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 to conform to the current year presentation. The Company reclassified approximately $0.1 million out of accrued expenses and other current liabilities into payable and accrued liabilities due to related-party. Total current liabilities as of December 31, 2020 did not change as a result of these reclassifications. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, clinical trial accruals, fair value of assets and liabilities, income taxes and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Significant Accounting Policies With the exception of the change for the accounting of leases as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases, Topic 842, or Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, there have been no new or material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. For arrangements where the Company is the lessee, leases are included in operating or finance lease right-of-use, or ROU, assets; current operating or finance lease liabilities; and non-current operating or finance lease liabilities. Lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and any lease payments made on or before the lease commencement date, less lease incentives received. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the lease liabilities as the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate. The incremental borrowing rate is reevaluated upon a lease modification. The Company considered information available at the adoption date of Topic 842 to determine the incremental borrowing rate for leases in existence as of this date. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For finance leases, ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the expected useful life or the lease term, and the carrying amount of the lease liability is adjusted to reflect interest, which is recorded in interest expense. The Company elected to apply each of the practical expedients described in Topic 842 which allow companies (i) not to reassess prior conclusions on whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease, lease classification, and initial direct costs, (ii) combine lease and non-lease components for all underlying assets groups, and (iii) not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short term leases. A short-term lease is a lease that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU No. 2016-02 (Topic 842), Leases (ASU 2016-02). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both operating and finance leases. ASU No. 2016-02 will also require new qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-05, which extended the effective date of ASU No. 2016-02 for non-public business entities, including smaller reporting companies, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted using the alternative modified transition method, which applies the standard as of the effective date and therefore, the Company has not applied the standard to the comparative periods presented on the Company's financial statements. The Company elected the following practical expedients: (i) not to reassess prior conclusions on whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain a lease, lease classification, and initial direct costs; (ii) combine lease and non-lease components (iii) not to recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for short term leases As a lessee, the primary impact of the adoption of Topic 842 was the recognition of operating and finance lease ROU assets of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and operating and finance lease liabilities of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2021. ROU assets are presented within other assets, current lease liabilities are presented within accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and non-current lease liabilities are presented within other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 5 "Leases" for additional details. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2021 on a prospective basis and there was no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures as a result of the adoption. |
