Amendment Description	This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (“Amendment No. 1”) amends our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2019 (the “Original Filing” and the “Original Filing Date”). Amendment No. 1 includes the correction of the following previously filed condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and data (and related disclosures): (1) the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019; and (2) our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, located in Part I Item 2 of this Form 10-Q/A. Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's September 30, 2019 condensed consolidated financial statements, management of the Company concluded the recognition method used to recognize stock-based compensation expense for the restricted shares issued under the Company’s 2019 Equity Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as disclosed in Note 7, was inconsistent with the recognition criteria prescribed by Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718. In this regard, management concluded that the corresponding stock-based compensation expense associated with these equity awards is required to be recognized in a manner that is reflective of the substance of the awards (i.e., as though the restricted shares are multiple awards with more than one requisite service period commencing at the grant date, with a cumulative charge for services rendered between grant and IPO date), rather than on a straight-line basis. While management believes the effect of this error is immaterial to the Company’s previously issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended (and related notes hereto) have been restated to correct the previously reported amounts. See Note 1, Correction of Previously Issued Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1. of this Form 10-Q/A for a detailed discussion of the effect of the correction. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and for the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing in its entirety. However, this Form 10-Q/A only amends Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I of the Original Filing, in each case, as a result of, and to reflect the correction, as well as conforming changes to Item 1A of Part II. Part II, Item 6. has been included herein to reflect new certifications pursuant to Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are filed and furnished herewith, respectively. This Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the Original Filing Date and does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing Date. No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.
