Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s final prospectus related to the Company’s IPO filed on July 27, 2020 (File No. 333-239415) with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the reported interim periods. The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses, as well as the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are used to determine the fair value of the preferred stock tranche rights liability and anti-dilution warrants liability, the fair value of profit certificates, common stock and stock-based awards and other issuances, accruals for research and development costs, useful lives of long-lived assets, probability of repayment for grants repayable, and uncertain tax positions. Actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates.

 

Deferred offering costs

The Company capitalizes incremental legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with the IPO as other non-current assets until the IPO is consummated. After consummation of the IPO, these costs will be recorded in stockholders’ deficit as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital generated as a result of the offering. As of June 30, 2020, there were deferred offering costs of approximately $1.7 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.

Collaborative Arrangements

The Company analyzes its collaboration arrangements to assess whether such arrangements involve joint operating activities performed by parties that are both active participants in the activities and exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of such activities and are, therefore within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements. This assessment is performed throughout the life of the arrangement and takes into consideration changes in the responsibilities of all parties to the arrangement.

 

 

Recently adopted accounting standards updates

In August 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. We adopted the standard prospectively effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our interim disclosures and is not expected to have a material impact on our annual 2020 disclosures.

In November 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. This standard makes targeted improvements for collaborative arrangements as follows:

 

Clarifies that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. In those situations, all the guidance in ASC 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements;

 

Adds unit-of-account guidance to ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements, to align with the guidance in ASC 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of ASC 606; and

 

Requires that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting that transaction together with revenue recognized under ASC 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer.

The standard was adopted on January 1, 2020 and was applied retrospectively to when ASC 606 was adopted (January 1, 2017). It did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Recently issued accounting standards and updates not yet effective

In February 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard established a right-of-use model that requires all lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities on their balance sheet that arise from leases with terms longer than 12 months as well as provide disclosures with respect to certain qualitative and quantitative information related to their leasing arrangements. This standard becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. The FASB has subsequently issued some amendments to ASU 2016-02, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2021.

The Company plans to adopt the new leasing standard on January 1, 2021, using a modified retrospective transition approach to be applied to leases existing as of, or entered into after, January 1, 2021. The Company is reviewing its existing lease contracts and the impact of the new leasing standards on its consolidated results of operations, financial position and disclosures. While the adoption of this standard is expected to result in an increase in reported assets and liabilities, the Company has not yet determined the full impact that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016 the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard requires that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, this standard now requires allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. This standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
