1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a clinical stage and commercial biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering innovative and clinically meaningful therapies to address unmet medical needs.

At its core, the Company is antibody-centric and leverages its proprietary G-MAB™ library and targeted delivery modalities to generate the next generation of cancer therapeutics. These modalities include proprietary chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (“CAR-T”), dimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (“DAR-T”), antibody drug conjugates (“ADCs”) as well as bispecific antibody approaches. The Company also has programs assessing the use of its technologies and products in autoimmune, inflammatory, viral and neurodegenerative diseases.

Outside of immuno-oncology programs, as part of the Company’s global aim to provide a wide range of therapeutic and diagnostic products to meet underserved markets, the Company has made investments in non-opioid pain management and is currently conducting preclinical development of multiple therapeutic, vaccine and diagnostic product candidates utilizing its proprietary platforms for the potential treatment, prevention and detection of COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries. For consolidated entities where the Company owns or is exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the Company records net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in its consolidated statements of operations equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Operating results for interim periods are not expected to be indicative of operating results for the Company’s 2020 fiscal year, or any subsequent period. The unaudited interim financial statements included herein reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Use of Estimates

To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there have been no changes to the Company`s significant accounting policies as described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 outside of new accounting pronouncements as described below.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, to improve financial reporting by requiring timely recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The ASU requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in this update were adopted using a modified retrospective transition method as of January 1, 2020, which had no cumulative impact to accumulated deficit.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty will be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption with all other amendments being applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The adoption of the standard had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods for the Company beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350). This standard eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, instead requiring an entity to recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the goodwill carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. This update also eliminated the qualitative assessment requirements for a reporting unit with zero or negative carrying value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and must be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of the standard had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
