2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 8-03. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2019, the 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. When preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, the Company must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2019.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard requires organizations that have leased assets, referred to as “lessees,” to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities that represent the rights and obligations created by those leases, respectively. Under the new guidance, a lessee is required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new ASU requires both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. The FASB has subsequently issued further ASU’s related to the standard providing additional practical expedients and an optional transition method allowing entities to not recast comparative periods. The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 are now effective.

 

We adopted the standard on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition adjustment method. As part of the adoption of ASC 842, we performed an assessment of the impact that the new lease recognition standard has on the condensed consolidated financial statements. All of our leases, which consist of facility and equipment leases, have been classified as operating leases. The Company does not have any financing leases. We adopted the requirements of the new standard without restating the prior periods. There was no impact to the accumulated deficit as of the date of adoption. For leases in place at the transition date, we adopted the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases.

 

We have also adopted the practical expedients that allow us to treat the lease and non-lease components of our leases as a single component for our facility leases. We elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. As such, for those leases that qualify, we did not recognize ROU asset or lease liabilities as part of the transition adjustment. As of January 1, 2019, the impact on the consolidated assets was approximately $4.2 million and the impact on the consolidated liabilities was approximately $4.4 million. The adoption of ASC 842 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, stockholders’ equity, or statement of cash flows.

 

We have also evaluated, documented, and implemented required changes in internal control as part of our adoption of the new lease recognition standard. These changes include implementing updated accounting policies affected by ASC 842 and implementing a new information technology application to calculate our right-of-use assets, lease liabilities and required disclosures.
