Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

2.1Basis of preparation

The Company prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, except where otherwise indicated. Transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are presented in the transaction currency with the U.S. dollar amount included in parenthesis, converted at the foreign exchange rate as of the transaction date.

Use of estimates

2.3Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent accounting pronouncements

2.5Recent accounting pronouncements

There have been no new accounting pronouncements or changes to accounting pronouncements during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in Note 2.3.23 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which could be expected to materially impact the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company has adopted ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) and additional disclosures related to significant unobservable inputs have been included within footnote 4 Fair value measurement.
