(2)  Significant Accounting Policies

 

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are consistent with those discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as it relates to the adoption of new accounting standards during the first nine months of 2020 as discussed below.

 

Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted a new accounting standard that modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. For instance, the Company is required to disclose weighted average information for significant unobservable inputs for all Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Refer to Note 3 for the disclosures related to the Company's level 3 fair value measurements.

 

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted a new accounting standard that clarifies the interaction between the accounting guidance for collaborative arrangements and revenue from contracts with customers. The amendments clarify that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under ASC 606, when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we have no arrangements within the scope of ASC 808.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance 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, the 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. We are currently evaluating the potential impact that this standard may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
