2. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by SEC rules and regulations; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed balance sheet data for the year ended December 31, 2014 were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates include useful lives of fixed assets, the periods over which certain revenues will be recognized, including licensing and collaborative revenue recognized from non-refundable up-front and milestone payments, the determination of prepaid research and development clinical costs and accrued research projects, the amount of non-cash compensation costs related to share-based payments to employees and non-employees and the periods over which those costs are expensed and the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies previously disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for the Company from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018. Earlier application by the Company will be permitted only as of January 1, 2017, including interim reporting periods within the year ending December 31, 2017. The Company does not expect to early adopt ASU 2014-09.

During April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”) “Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs (e.g., legal fees, printing costs) to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability rather than as assets, as under current guidance. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the Company for financial statements issued for periods beginning on January 1, 2016, including interim periods. Early adoption of ASU 2015-03 is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. Upon adoption, the Company must apply the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-03 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Reclassifications

Certain revenue amounting to $132 and $159 within the Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, has been reclassified from Collaborative revenue to Clinical compound revenue to conform to the current year presentation.
