Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
As a result of the Business Combination, for accounting purposes, ListCo is the acquirer and Legacy Adagio is the accounting acquiree and predecessor. The financial statement presentation includes the financial statements of Legacy Adagio as “Predecessor” for the periods prior to the Closing Date (the “Predecessor Period(s)”), and of the Company as “Successor” for the periods after the Closing Date (the “Successor Period(s)”), including the consolidation of Legacy Adagio and ARYA. The Successor Period includes the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for the period from July 31, 2024 through September 30, 2024.
As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the Closing Date of the Business Combination, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include a black line division that indicates that the Predecessor and Successor reporting entities shown are presented on a different basis and are therefore, not comparable.
Unaudited Interim Financial Information
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the condensed consolidated statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders' equity (deficit), for the periods from July 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), July 31, 2024 to September 30, 2024 (Successor), January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), July 31, 2024 to September 30, 2024 (Successor) and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (Predecessor), and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), July 31, 2024 to September 30, 2024 (Successor), and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (Predecessor), and the related footnote disclosures are unaudited.
These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and, in management’s opinion, reflect all adjustments which only include normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024 (Successor) and its results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the periods from July 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), July 31, 2024 to September 30, 2024 (Successor), January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), July 31, 2024 to September 30, 2024 (Successor), and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (Predecessor), and cash flows for the periods from January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), July 31, 2024 to September 30, 2024 (Successor), and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (Predecessor).
The results for the periods from July 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor), July 31, 2024 to September 30, 2024 (Successor), January 1, 2024 to July 30, 2024 (Predecessor) and July 31, 2024 to September 30, 2024 (Successor) are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any other interim period.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).
Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.
