Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company's annual consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements are presented in accordance with (i) accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the interim periods presented.
Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, for any other interim period, or for any other future year. Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), using a modified retrospective method of adoption. All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been updated to comply with this new standard with results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2020 presented under ASU 2016-13, while prior period amounts and disclosures were not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology, referred to as current expected credit loss (“CECL”), for financial instruments, including accounts receivables. The cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2020. The Company's expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current receivables aging, consideration of current conditions, and other relevant data.
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the requirements of Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (“ASU 2018-15”), using a prospective method of adoption. ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the accounting for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software under ASC 350-40, in order to determine which costs to capitalize and recognize as an asset and which costs to expense. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which enhances and simplifies various aspects of income tax accounting guidance. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2019-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on February 25, 2020.
