2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, include the Company’s accounts and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries MyoKardia Australia Pty Ltd and MyoKardia Netherlands B.V., and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2019, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year or any interim period and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended

December 31, 2019 and the notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019. The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods shown are consistent with those discussed in notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and are updated below as necessary.

The Company currently operates in one business segment, which is the identification, development and commercialization of therapies for the treatment of serious and neglected rare cardiovascular diseases and has a single reporting unit and operating segment. These interim statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Reconciliation of Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash as Reported in Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

Cash as reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows includes the aggregate amounts of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented on the consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 represents cash balances held as security in connection with the Company’s facility lease agreements. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the consolidated balance sheets to the total shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to clinical trials accrued liabilities, income tax valuation allowance and stock-based compensation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other market-specific and relevant assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2018-18 (Topic 808), Clarifying the Interaction Between Topic 808 and Topic 606, which provides guidance on how to assess whether certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for within the revenue recognition standard. The ASU also provides more comparability in the presentation of revenue for certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants. It accomplishes this by allowing organizations to only present units of account in collaborative arrangements that are within the scope of the revenue recognition standard together with revenue accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. The parts of the collaborative arrangement that are not in the scope of the revenue recognition standard should be presented separately from revenue accounted for under the revenue recognition standard. The Company adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 (Topic 820), Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements in Topic 820 by removing requirements for disclosing (i) amounts of and reasons for transfers between the Level 1 and Level 2 hierarchies, (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU 2018-13 amendment also adds requirements for disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period relating to Level 3 fair value measurements and other factors considered in the valuation of Level 3 investments. The Company adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (Topic 326), Financial Instruments –Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets by requiring an allowance to be recorded as an offset to the amortized cost of such assets. For available-for-sale debt securities, expected credit losses

should be estimated when the fair value of the debt securities is below their associated amortized costs. The Company adopted this amendment in the first quarter of 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
