Unaudited Interim Financial Information

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The accompanying condensed financial statements, as of June 30, 2020 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 10, 2020. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, as necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2020, results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020, have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies, which are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the notes thereto, are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K that was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2020. There were no changes to significant accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is monitoring the potential impact of COVID-19, if any, on the carrying value of certain assets. To date, the Company has not experienced material business disruption, nor has it incurred impairment of any assets as a result of COVID-19. The extent to which these events may impact the Company’s business, clinical development and regulatory efforts, and the value of its common stock, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The duration and intensity of these impacts and resulting disruption to the Company’s operations is uncertain and the Company will continue to assess the financial impact.

In addition, the Company is subject to other challenges and risks specific to its business and its ability to execute on its business plan and strategy, as well as risks and uncertainties common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry with development and commercial operations, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: obtaining regulatory approval of its late-stage product candidates; delays or problems in obtaining clinical supply, loss of single source suppliers or failure to comply with manufacturing regulations; identifying, acquiring or in-licensing additional products or product candidates; biopharmaceutical product development and the inherent uncertainty of clinical success; and the challenges of complying with applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, to the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties discussed above.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these condensed financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the accrual for research and development expenses, and the valuation the derivative liability. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. An adjustment has also been made to the condensed statement of cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2019, to reclassify non-cash lease expense out of depreciation and amortization.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The new standard modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measure in Topic 820, including removals of existing disclosures, modifications of existing disclosures, and additions of new disclosures. Certain amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair values measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim of annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted for any removed or modified disclosure. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The FASB subsequently issued amendments to ASU 2016-13, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2022, as the Company is a smaller reporting company. These standards require 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, these standards now require allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. These standards limit the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. Based on the composition of the Company’s investment portfolio and other financial assets, current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the adoption of these standards is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed financial statements.
