Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization and Basis of Presentation

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

89bio, Inc. (“89bio” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative therapies for the treatment of liver and cardio-metabolic diseases. The Company’s lead product candidate, BIO89-100, a specifically engineered glycoPEGylated analog of fibroblast growth factor 21, is currently being developed for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia.

89bio, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation on June 28, 2019, for the purpose of completing an initial public offering (“IPO”) and related transactions in order to carry on the business of 89Bio Ltd., which was incorporated in Israel in January 2018.

The Company completed an internal reorganization transaction in September 2019, pursuant to which 89Bio Ltd. became a wholly owned subsidiary of 89bio, Inc. (the “Reorganization”). As part of the Reorganization, all of the equity holders of 89Bio Ltd. exchanged 100% of the equity of 89Bio Ltd. for 100% of the equity of 89bio, Inc. The Reorganization was considered a transaction between entities under common control.

Initial Public Offering

On November 13, 2019, 89bio, Inc. completed its IPO, pursuant to which it issued and sold an aggregate of 6,100,390 shares of common stock (inclusive of 795,703 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares) at the IPO price of $16.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $87.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.8 million and other offering expenses of $3.1 million. Upon the closing of the IPO, the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 7,077,366 shares of common stock of 89bio, Inc. based on a proportional adjustment to the conversion ratio of the convertible preferred stock on a 1-for-6.217 basis.

Liquidity

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. To date, the Company has not generated revenues from its activities and has incurred substantial operating losses. Management expects the Company to continue to generate substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future until it completes development of its products and seeks regulatory approvals to market such products. The Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $73.9 million as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, in July 2020, the Company received approximately $78.3 million in net proceeds from an underwritten offering of its common stock (see Note 10). Management expects to continue to fund its operations primarily through utilization of its current financial resources and through additional raises of capital.

The Company intends to raise such capital through the issuance of additional equity financing and/or debt financing. However, if such financing is not available at adequate levels, the Company will need to reevaluate its operating plan and may be required to delay the development of its products. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 2020, together with proceeds available from the Company’s term loan (see Note 6), and proceeds from its July 2020 sale of common stock, will be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least one year from the date these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and comprehensive loss, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on March 18, 2020.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include but are not limited to the fair value of stock options, the convertible preferred stock liability and certain accruals. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

Investments have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value as determined based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase. Investments with original maturities beyond three months at the date of purchase and which mature at or less than twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as current.

Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of comprehensive loss. The Company periodically evaluates whether declines in fair values of its marketable securities below their book value are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of several qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss as well as the Company’s ability and intent to hold the marketable security until a forecasted recovery occurs. Additionally, the Company assesses whether it has plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell any marketable securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in fair value judged to be other than temporary, if any, on marketable securities are included in other expenses (income), net. The cost of investments sold is based on the specific-identification method. There were no realized gains or losses on investments for the periods presented. Interest on marketable securities is included in other expenses (income), net and was not material for all periods presented.

Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets. The carrying values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable inputs for similar assets or liabilities. These include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Convertible Preferred Stock Liability

The freestanding instruments related to the commitment by the Series A convertible preferred stockholders to purchase and by the Company to sell its Series A convertible preferred stock in subsequent closings, contingent upon the achievement of certain developmental milestones and approval by the board of directors, at a fixed price per stock, were considered a liability (or an asset), measured at fair value as the shares underlying the rights contained liquidation preferences upon certain “deemed liquidation events” that were not solely within the Company’s control and which were considered in-substance contingent redemption features. The instruments were subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date until settlement or extinguishment, with revaluations recognized as either a component of other expenses (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon the completion of the Company’s IPO, the remaining shares of convertible preferred stock that were previously issuable under a subsequent closing were no longer issuable. Accordingly, the preferred stock liability was extinguished and because the transaction occurred between related parties, the resulting $25.6 million was accounted for as a capital contribution by the preferred stockholders.

Risk and Uncertainties

If the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread in the United States and worldwide, the Company may experience disruptions that could negatively impact the Company’s growth, employee productivity and its ability to recruit and onboard new employees. The pandemic may also disrupt the Company’s business and delay its preclinical and clinical programs and timelines. At this point, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s operating results and financial condition is uncertain.

Comprehensive Loss

The Company’s comprehensive loss is comprised of changes in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency transaction adjustments, which were not material for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company has not presented comprehensive loss separately from net loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The Company adopted this standard effective from January 1, 2020, with the removed and modified disclosures adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures adopted on a prospective basis. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02—Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), requiring the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The standard: (a) clarifies the definition of a lease; (b) requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications; and (c) causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease-term of more than twelve months. The standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. As an emerging growth company, ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2022 and interim periods within the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and for nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. As an emerging growth company, ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2022 and interim periods within the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The following table presents the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

		June 30, 2020
	Valuation	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized
	Hierarchy	Cost		Gains		Losses		Fair Value

The Company did not hold any financial assets as of December 31, 2019.

The Company’s convertible preferred stock liability represented a Level 3 financial liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis prior to its extinguishment as of December 31, 2019. Accordingly, there was no Level 3 financial liability outstanding during the six months ended and as of June 30, 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liability were measured on a recurring basis as follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2019
Beginning balance	$	1,671
Revaluation of convertible preferred stock liability recorded in other expenses, net		10,511
Partial settlement of convertible preferred stock liability in subsequent closings		(6,269	)
Ending balance	$	5,913

The Company’s convertible preferred stock liability resulted from the initial sale of Series A convertible preferred stock where the investors committed to purchase additional shares of Series A convertible preferred stock in subsequent closings, contingent upon the achievement by the Company of certain development milestones and approval by the board of directors. The investors’ commitment to purchase and the Company’s commitment to sell shares of Series A convertible preferred stock represented a freestanding instrument accounted for at fair value and revalued at each reporting date. The Company estimated the fair value of this commitment using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

		Six Months Ended
		June 30, 2019
Stock price	$	0.99 - 1.31
Exercise price	$		1.00
Expected term (years)		0.00 - 2.25

Asset Transfer and License Agreement with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd

In April 2018, the Company concurrently entered into two Asset Transfer and License Agreements (the “Teva Agreements”) with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (“Teva”) under which it acquired certain patents and intellectual property relating to two programs: (1) Teva’s glycoPEGylated FGF21 program, including the compound TEV-47948 (BIO89-100), a glycoPEGylated long-acting FGF21 and (2) Teva’s development program of small molecule inhibitors of Fatty Acid Synthase. Pursuant to the Teva Agreements, the Company paid Teva an initial nonrefundable upfront payment of $6.0 million and the Company could be obligated to pay Teva up to $67.5 million under each program, for a total of $135.0 million, upon the achievement of certain clinical development and commercial milestones. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay Teva tiered royalties at percentages in the low-to-mid single-digits on worldwide net sales on all products containing the Teva compounds.

The Teva Agreements can be terminated (i) by the Company without cause, after the first anniversary of the effective date, upon 120 days’ written notice to Teva, (ii) by either party, if the other party materially breaches any of its obligations under the Agreements and fails to cure such breach within 60 days after receiving notice thereof, or (iii) by either party, if a bankruptcy petition is filed against the other party and is not dismissed within 60 days. In addition, Teva can also terminate the agreement related to the Company’s glycoPEGylated FGF21 program in the event the Company, or any of its affiliates or sublicensees, challenges any of the Teva patents licensed to the Company, and the challenge is not withdrawn within 30 days of written notice from Teva.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, there were no license payment expenses related to the Teva Agreements.

Loan and Security Agreement

On April 7, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with the lenders referred to therein (the “Lenders”), and Silicon Valley Bank, as collateral agent. The Loan Agreement provides for (i) a secured term A loan facility (the “Term A Loan Facility”) of up to $10.0 million and (ii) a secured term B loan facility (the “Term B Loan Facility”) of up to $5.0 million that is available upon the Company satisfying certain milestones. The Term A Loan Facility matures on November 1, 2022, provided, that if the Term B Loan Facility is funded, the facilities instead mature on September 1, 2023. The loans will bear interest at the greater of (i) 4.50% and (ii) the sum of (a) the Prime Rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus (b) 1.25%. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had not drawn any amount under the Loan Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to issue the Lenders warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. On April 7, 2020, the Company issued Silicon Valley Bank a warrant to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a warrant exercise price of $22.06 per share that were immediately exercisable and expire on April 7, 2030. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant at the issuance date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.75%, no dividends, expected volatility of 92.30% and expected term of 10.0 years. Upon issuance, the fair value allocated to the warrant of $0.6 million was recorded as a debt issuance cost and classified within other assets, and met the requirements for equity classification within additional paid-in capital on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. An additional warrant to purchase 8,333 shares of the Company’s common stock will be issued in connection with the Term B Loan Facility, if funded, with the exercise price determined on the Company’s stock price at the time of issuance.

Additionally, the Company incurred $0.2 million in closing costs that were recorded as debt issuance costs and classified within other assets on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

The deferred assets related to the debt issuance cost and warrant are recognized as interest expense over the duration of the Loan Agreement and are recorded within other expenses (income), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs classified within other assets on the consolidated condensed balance sheet is $0.7 million.

Equity Incentive Plans

In 2018, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 89Bio Ltd. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). In connection with the Reorganization, in September 2019, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which became effective on September 17, 2019. From and after the effective date of the 2019 Plan, the Company will no longer be making any future awards under the 2018 Plan.

The Company initially reserved 2,844,193 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2019 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan will automatically increase on the first day of January for a period of up to ten years, commencing on January 1, 2020, in an amount equal to 4% of the total number of shares of the Company’s capital stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of June 30, 2020, there were 1,566,991 shares of common stock available for issuance as future option grants under the 2019 Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP)

In October 2019, the Company adopted the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which became effective following the date of the IPO. The Company initially reserved 225,188 shares of common stock for purchase under the ESPP. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP will automatically increase on the first day of January for a period of up to ten years, in an amount equal to 1% of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Company’s board of directors. Purchases will be accomplished through the participation of discrete offering periods and each offering is expected to be 6 months long. For each offering period, ESPP participants will purchase shares of common stock at a price per share equal to 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on (1) the first trading day of the applicable offering period or (2) the last trading day of each purchase period the applicable offering period.

The first six month offering period pursuant to the ESPP commenced on January 1, 2020 and a total of 4,427 shares of common stock were purchased in accordance with the ESPP during the six months ended June 30, 2020 for total proceeds of $75,000. As of June 30, 2020, there were 358,651 shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP.

Convertible Preferred Stock

In April 2018, the Company entered into the Series A Share Purchase Agreement (the “Series A SPA”), pursuant to which the investors committed to invest an aggregate amount of up to $60.0 million for the issuance of shares of Series A convertible preferred stock at a price of $1.00 per share in subsequent closings. Upon the completion of the Company’s IPO on November 13, 2019, there were 16,000,000 remaining shares of convertible preferred stock that were previously issuable that were no longer issuable. Accordingly, the preferred stock liability was extinguished and because the transaction occurred between related parties, the resulting $25.6 million was accounted for as a capital contribution by the preferred stockholders Additionally, immediately prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 7,077,366 shares of common stock and the related carrying value was reclassified to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Since the Company was in a loss position for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for all periods as the inclusion of all potential shares of common stock outstanding would have been anti-dilutive.

The following outstanding potentially dilutive common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the periods presented due to their anti-dilutive effect:

The Company and the Series A preferred stockholders amended the Series A SPA on October 25, 2019, and the parties agreed that the Series A SPA would terminate upon consummation of the Company’s IPO. Upon the completion of the Company’s IPO on November 13, 2019, the 16,000,000 shares of convertible preferred stock that were issuable were no longer issuable. Accordingly, the preferred stock liability was extinguished and because the transaction occurred between related parties, the resulting $25.6 million was accounted for as a capital contribution by the preferred stockholders and recorded as part of additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7).

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Jun. 30, 2020
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements	Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and comprehensive loss, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020 or for any other future annual or interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on March 18, 2020.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include but are not limited to the fair value of stock options, the convertible preferred stock liability and certain accruals. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and adjusts those estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments	Investments Investments have been classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value as determined based upon quoted market prices or pricing models for similar securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt securities at the time of purchase. Investments with original maturities beyond three months at the date of purchase and which mature at or less than twelve months from the balance sheet date are classified as current. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported as a component of comprehensive loss. The Company periodically evaluates whether declines in fair values of its marketable securities below their book value are other-than-temporary. This evaluation consists of several qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss as well as the Company’s ability and intent to hold the marketable security until a forecasted recovery occurs. Additionally, the Company assesses whether it has plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell any marketable securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Realized gains and losses and declines in fair value judged to be other than temporary, if any, on marketable securities are included in other expenses (income), net. The cost of investments sold is based on the specific-identification method. There were no realized gains or losses on investments for the periods presented. Interest on marketable securities is included in other expenses (income), net and was not material for all periods presented.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets. The carrying values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments and prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities as follows: Level 1—Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date; Level 2—Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) are either directly or indirectly observable inputs for similar assets or liabilities. These include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Convertible Preferred Stock Liability	Convertible Preferred Stock Liability The freestanding instruments related to the commitment by the Series A convertible preferred stockholders to purchase and by the Company to sell its Series A convertible preferred stock in subsequent closings, contingent upon the achievement of certain developmental milestones and approval by the board of directors, at a fixed price per stock, were considered a liability (or an asset), measured at fair value as the shares underlying the rights contained liquidation preferences upon certain “deemed liquidation events” that were not solely within the Company’s control and which were considered in-substance contingent redemption features. The instruments were subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date until settlement or extinguishment, with revaluations recognized as either a component of other expenses (income), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, or additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon the completion of the Company’s IPO, the remaining shares of convertible preferred stock that were previously issuable under a subsequent closing were no longer issuable. Accordingly, the preferred stock liability was extinguished and because the transaction occurred between related parties, the resulting $25.6 million was accounted for as a capital contribution by the preferred stockholders.
Risk and Uncertainties	Risk and Uncertainties If the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread in the United States and worldwide, the Company may experience disruptions that could negatively impact the Company’s growth, employee productivity and its ability to recruit and onboard new employees. The pandemic may also disrupt the Company’s business and delay its preclinical and clinical programs and timelines. At this point, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s operating results and financial condition is uncertain.
Comprehensive Loss	Comprehensive Loss The Company’s comprehensive loss is comprised of changes in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities and foreign currency transaction adjustments, which were not material for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company has not presented comprehensive loss separately from net loss on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The Company adopted this standard effective from January 1, 2020, with the removed and modified disclosures adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures adopted on a prospective basis. The standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02—Leases (“ASU 2016-02”), requiring the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. The standard: (a) clarifies the definition of a lease; (b) requires a dual approach to lease classification similar to current lease classifications; and (c) causes lessees to recognize leases on the balance sheet as a lease liability with a corresponding right-of-use asset for leases with a lease-term of more than twelve months. The standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. As an emerging growth company, ASU 2016-02 is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2022 and interim periods within the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and for nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. As an emerging growth company, ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2022 and interim periods within the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
