Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
The Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the Company's Form
10
-K for the year ended
December 
31,
2018,
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 19, 2019
have
not
materially changed, except as set forth below.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as found in the Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and with the instructions to Form
10
-Q and Article
10
of Regulation S-
X
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include all normal and recurring adjustments (which consist primarily of accruals, estimates and assumptions that impact the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements) considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of 
September 
30,
2019,
its results of operations for the
three
and
nine
months ended
September 
30,
2019
and
2018
and cash flows for the
nine
months ended
September 
30,
2019
and
2018.
Operating results for the
nine
months ended 
September 
30,
2019
are
not
necessarily indicative of the results that
may
be expected for the year ending
December 
31,
2019.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein do
not
contain the required disclosures under GAAP for annual financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended
December 
31,
2018
filed with the SEC on Form
10
-K on
March 19, 2019.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and reported amounts of expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, actual results
may
materially vary from these estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are deemed necessary.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those instruments.
 
Intangible Asset
 
The Company's RES-
529
intangible asset is assessed for impairment annually on
October 1
of the Company’s fiscal year or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. There was
no
impairment to the Company’s RES-
529
intangible asset recognized during the
nine
months ended
September 
30,
2019
and
2018.
 
Leases
 
In
February 2016,
the FASB issued a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. See note
7
for further details.
 
Net Loss Per Common Share
 
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted net loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as convertible debt, convertible preferred stock, common stock warrants, stock options and unvested restricted stock that would result in the issuance of incremental shares of Common Stock. In computing the basic and diluted net loss per share applicable to common stockholders, the weighted average number of shares remains the same for both calculations due to the fact that when a net loss exists, dilutive shares are
not
included in the calculation as the impact is anti-dilutive.
 
The following potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of
September 
30,
2019
and
2018
have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Recently Issued But
Not
Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
August 
2018,
the FASB issued ASU
2018
-
03,
Disclosure Framework- Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements,
which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC
820.
The goal of the ASU is to improve the effectiveness of ASC
820's
disclosure requirements. The guidance is applicable to public business entities for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2019
and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this standard on its related disclosures.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In
February 2016,
the FASB issued ASU
2016
-
02,
Leases (Topic
842
)
to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Under ASC
842,
disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.
 
The Company adopted ASC
842,
effective
January 1, 2019
using a modified retrospective approach and elected to apply the available practical expedients. The standard had an impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheet but did
not
have an impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows upon adoption. The most significant impact of ASC
842
was the recognition of a
$0.3
million ROU asset and corresponding lease liability for the Company's single operating lease.
 
On
January 1, 2019,
the Company adopted ASU
2018
-
07,
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic

): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
(“ASU

) which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. The ASU supersedes ASC
505
-

Equity-based Payments to Non-employees
and expands the scope of ASC
718
to include all
share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both non-employees and employees. The adoption of ASU
