In May 2018, we implemented a corporate restructuring and program prioritization plan (Restructuring Plan) to streamline our operations and concentrate development efforts on the advancement of our therapeutic candidate, ATYR1923. In connection with the Restructuring Plan, we reduced our workforce by approximately 30% to 42 full-time employees. We completed the workforce reduction in June 2018. We recorded charges of approximately $0.9 million for employee severance and other related termination benefits and approximately $0.4 million in one-time, non-cash stock-based compensation charges due to the acceleration of time-based vesting provisions of outstanding equity awards in according with our Executive Severance and Change in Control Policy. Principles of Consolidation Our condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and our 98% majority-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, Pangu BioPharma Limited (Pangu BioPharma). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and following the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting.

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and our results of operations and cash flows for periods presented.

The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period or any future year or period. Liquidity and Financial Condition We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $292.4 million and we expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments, of $56.0 million as of September 30, 2018 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for a period of one year from the filing date of this Quarterly Report. We do not expect to generate any revenues from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates, which we expect will take a number of years at a minimum. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, we will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our preclinical and clinical development efforts and the timing and nature of the regulatory approval process for our product candidates. We anticipate that we will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity or debt financings, collaborations, strategic partnerships or other sources. However, we may be unable to raise additional capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and ability to develop our product candidates. Use of Estimates Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the fair value of equity issuances and awards, and clinical trials and research and development expense accruals. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents and adjusted for the weighted average number of common shares outstanding that are subject to repurchase. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we have excluded 175 shares and 4,607 shares, respectively, subject to repurchase from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of convertible preferred stock, warrants for common stock, options and restricted stock units outstanding under our stock option plan and estimated shares to be purchased under our employee stock purchase plan. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to our net loss position. Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive are as follows (in common share equivalents):
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be adopted at the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We expect the implementation of ASU No. 2016-02 to have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as we have aggregate future minimum lease payments for our administrative offices and research laboratory located in San Diego, California. We anticipate recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities related to this lease on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments in this update require an entity to apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2018-07 and do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements to provide updates for technical corrections, clarifications, and other minor improvements that affect wide variety of Topics in the Codification including Amendments to Subtopic 718-40, Compensation–Stock Compensation–Income Taxes, which clarifies that an entity should recognize excess tax benefits (that is, the difference in tax benefits between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation cost recognized for financial statement reporting) in the period in which the amount of the deduction is determined. This includes deductions that are taken on the entity’s tax return in a different period from when the event that gives rise to the tax deduction occurs and the uncertainty about whether (1) the entity will receive a tax deduction and (2) the amount of the tax deduction is resolved. ASU No. 2018-09 included other Topics which currently do not apply to us. The transition and effective date of ASU No. 2018-09 are based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in ASU No. 2018-09 do not require transition guidance and are effective immediately and others have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for public business entities. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements | 2. Fair Value Measurements The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of those instruments. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms, which is considered a Level 2 input, we believe that the carrying value of our Term Loans approximates their fair value. Investment securities are recorded at fair value. The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets. Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of investment securities. Investment securities are recorded at fair value, defined as the exit price in the principal market in which we would transact, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Level 2 securities are valued using quoted market prices for similar instruments, non-binding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data, or discounted cash flow techniques and include our investments in corporate debt securities and commercial paper. We have no financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. None of our non-financial assets and liabilities is recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. No transfers between levels have occurred during the periods presented. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):
As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 available-for-sale investments are detailed as follows (in thousands):
As of September 30, 2018, all of our available-for-sale investments have a variety of effective maturity dates of less than one year. As of September 30, 2018, there are 11 available-for-sale investments in gross unrealized loss position, all of which had been in such position for less than twelve months. At each reporting date, we perform an evaluation of impairment to determine if the unrealized losses are other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and our intent and ability to hold the investment until recovery of its amortized cost basis. We intend, and have the ability, to hold our investments in unrealized loss positions until their amortized cost basis has been recovered. Based on our evaluation, we determined that the unrealized losses were not other-than-temporary as of September 30, 2018. |

Debt Instruments [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Debt, Commitments and Contingencies | 3. Debt, Commitments and Contingencies Term Loans In November 2016, we entered into a loan and security agreement and subsequently entered amendments (collectively, the Loan Agreement), for term loans with Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Solar Capital Ltd. (Solar), to borrow up to $20.0 million issuable in three separate tranches (the Term Loans), $10.0 million of which was funded in November 2016, $5.0 million of which was funded in June 2017 and $5.0 million of which was funded in December 2017. Under the Loan Agreement, we are obligated to make interest only payments through June 1, 2018, followed by consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and interest in arrears through the maturity date of November 18, 2020. Accordingly, we started paying the Term Loans in June 2018. The Term Loans bear interest at the prime rate, as reported in The Wall Street Journal on the last date of the month preceding the month in which interest will accrue, plus 4.10%. A final payment equal to 8.75% of the funded amounts is payable when the Term Loans become due or upon the prepayment of the respective outstanding balance. We have the option to prepay the outstanding balance of the loan in full, subject to a prepayment fee ranging from 1.0% to 3.0% depending upon when the prepayment occurs, including any non-usage fees. The obligations under the Term Loans are secured by liens on our tangible personal property and we agreed to not encumber any of our intellectual property. The Term Loans include a material adverse change clause, which enables the Lenders to require immediate repayment of the outstanding debt. The material adverse change clause covers a material impairment in the perfection or priority of the lenders’ lien in the underlying collateral or in the value of such collateral, material adverse change in business operations or condition or material impairment of our prospects for repayment of any portion of the remaining debt obligation. As of September 30, 2018, the carrying value of our Term Loans consists of $17.3 million principal outstanding less the remaining debt issuance costs of $0.4 million. The debt issuance costs have been recorded as a debt discount that are being accreted to interest expense over the life of the Term Loans. The final maturity payment of $1.8 million is accruing over the life of the Term Loans through interest expense. In connection with the first tranche, we issued warrants to each of SVB and Solar to purchase an aggregate of 47,771 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $3.14 per share. In connection with the second tranche, we issued warrants to each of SVB and Solar to purchase an aggregate of 20,833 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $3.60 per share. In connection with the third tranche, we issued warrants to each of SVB and Solar to purchase an aggregate of 20,188 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $3.72 per share. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have a maximum contractual term of seven years. The aggregate fair value of the warrants was determined to be $0.5 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was recorded as debt discount which are being accreted to interest expense over the life of Term Loans. Term loans and unamortized discount balances are as follows (in thousands):
Future principal payments for the Term Loans are as follows (in thousands):
Facility Lease We have a noncancelable operating lease that included certain tenant improvement allowances and is subject to base lease payments, which escalate over the term of the lease, additional charges for common area maintenance and other costs. The lease originally expired in May 2019. In July 2018, we entered into a lease amendment to our facility lease. The amendment reduced the space we lease from 24,494 square feet to 20,508 square feet and extended the lease term to May 2023. Rent expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Future minimum payments under the non-cancelable operating lease as of September 30, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):
Related Party Transactions Research Agreements and Funding Obligations We provide funding to The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) pursuant to a research funding and option agreement to conduct certain research activities. We have entered into additional amendments to our research funding and option agreement to provide additional funding to TSRI. For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized expense under the agreement in the amount of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized expense under the agreement in the amount of $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Paul Schimmel, Ph.D., a member of our board of directors, is a board and faculty member at TSRI and such payments fund a portion of his research activities conducted at TSRI. On May 10, 2018, we provided TSRI with written notice of termination of our research funding and option agreement effective as of November 10, 2018. Strategic Advisor Agreement In November 2017, John D. Mendlein, Ph.D., a member of our Board of Directors since July 2010 and our Chief Executive Officer from September 2011 to November 2017, began serving as a strategic advisor to us pursuant to the terms of a strategic advisor agreement entered with Dr. Mendlein on November 1, 2017 (Strategic Advisor Agreement). Pursuant to the terms of the Strategic Advisor Agreement, we agreed to, among other things, pay Dr. Mendlein as a strategic advisor to us for a period of up to four years, at a monthly rate of $42,500 for the first year and $7,500 per month for the rest of the term. Either party may terminate the Strategic Advisor Agreement after the first year, provided that payments under the Strategic Advisor Agreement and continued vesting of outstanding employee stock options are guaranteed through the second year of the Strategic Advisor Agreement in the event the Board terminates the Strategic Advisor Agreement for convenience or Dr. Mendlein terminates for our material breach of the Strategic Advisor Agreement. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized expenses under the Strategic Advisor Agreement in the amounts of $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. |

Stockholders' Equity | 4. Stockholders’ Equity Private Placement of Common Stock, Convertible Preferred Shares and Common Stock Warrants On August 27, 2017, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (Securities Purchase Agreement) for a private placement (Private Placement) with a select group of institutional investors, including Viking Global Opportunities Illiquid Investments Sub-Master, LP (VGO Fund) and other accredited investors, certain of whom are affiliated with our directors and officers (collectively, the Purchasers). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) VGO Fund purchased 1,777,784 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Shares), at a price of $2.65 per share, 2,285,952 shares of our Class X Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Shares or Preferred Stock, and together with the Common Shares, the Shares), par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $13.25 per share, and warrants to purchase up to that number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to thirty seven and one half percent (37.5%) of the number of Shares purchased by VGO Fund on an if-converted to common stock basis (rounded up to the nearest whole share), and (ii) the remaining Purchasers purchased an aggregate of 4,094,336 shares of our Common Shares, at a price of $2.65 per share, and warrants to purchase up to that number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to thirty-seven and one half percent (37.5%) of the number of Common Shares purchased by such Purchaser (rounded up to the nearest whole share). The Private Placement closed on August 31, 2017 for gross proceeds of $45.8 million, and after giving effect to costs related to the Private Placement, net proceeds of $42.5 million. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into five shares of our common stock. VGO Fund will be prohibited from converting the Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock if, as a result of such conversion, VGO Fund, together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.50% of the shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding, which percentage may change at VGO Fund’s election upon 61 days’ notice to us to (i) any other number less than or equal to 19.99% or (ii) subject to approval of our stockholders to the extent required in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market rules, any number in excess of 19.99%. Holders of outstanding Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a dividend (on an if-converted to common stock basis), if we at any time pay a stock dividend equal to and in the same form as a dividend paid to holders of Common Shares. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Preferred Stock will participate in any distribution of proceeds, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder on an if-converted basis. The Preferred Shares have no voting rights. We evaluated the Preferred Stock for liability or equity classification under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (ASC480), and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because the Preferred Stock did not meet the definition of the liability instruments defined thereunder for convertible instruments. Specifically, the shares of Preferred Stock are not mandatorily redeemable and do not embody an obligation to buy back the shares outside of our control in a manner that could require the transfer of assets. Additionally, we determined that the Preferred Stock would be recorded as permanent equity, not temporary equity, based on the guidance of ASC 480 given that they are not redeemable for cash or other assets (i) on a fixed or determinable date, (ii) at the option of the holder, and (iii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within control of the Company. We also evaluated the Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including the consideration of embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation from the equity host. Based on this assessment, we determined that the conversion option is closely related to the equity host, and thus, bifurcation is not required. The issuance of convertible preferred stock could generate a beneficial conversion feature (BCF), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor (or in-the-money) at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock on the commitment date. The fair value of our common stock was $2.37 on August 31, 2017, the commitment date, using the Black-Scholes valuation model. After the proceeds allocation, the Preferred Stock had an effective conversion price of $2.37 per common share, which was equal to the fair value of our common stock on the commitment date. Therefore, no BCF is present. The warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $4.64 per share, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the warrants. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on December 31, 2019. We also entered into a registration rights agreement (Registration Rights Agreement) with certain of the Purchasers, excluding those Purchasers affiliated with our directors and officers, requiring us to register the resale of the relevant securities. We registered all of the relevant securities issued in the Private Placement for resale on a Form S-3 filed with the SEC, as required under the Registration Rights Agreement, and the registration statement was declared effective on September 27, 2017. We evaluated the warrants for liability or equity classification under ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging (ASC 815) and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because the warrants are indexed to our common stock and no cash settlement is required except for (i) liquidation of the Company, or (ii) a change in control in which the common stockholders also received cash. Common Stock Reserved for Future Issuance Pursuant to the automatic increase provisions of our 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (2015 Plan) and 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (2015 ESPP), 1,191,566 additional shares were reserved for future issuance under the 2015 Plan on January 1, 2018 and 297,891 additional shares were reserved for future issuances under the 2015 ESPP on January 1, 2018. Common stock reserved for future issuance is as follows:

These statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2018. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period or any future year or period. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Liquidity and Financial Condition | Liquidity and Financial Condition We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. As of September 30, 2018, we had an accumulated deficit of $292.4 million and we expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments, of $56.0 million as of September 30, 2018 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for a period of one year from the filing date of this Quarterly Report. We do not expect to generate any revenues from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates, which we expect will take a number of years at a minimum. If we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Accordingly, we will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund our operations. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of our preclinical and clinical development efforts and the timing and nature of the regulatory approval process for our product candidates. We anticipate that we will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity or debt financings, collaborations, strategic partnerships or other sources. However, we may be unable to raise additional capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable terms or at all. Our inability to raise capital or enter into such other arrangements when needed would have a negative impact on our financial condition and ability to develop our product candidates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates Our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the fair value of equity issuances and awards, and clinical trials and research and development expense accruals. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ materially from these estimates and assumptions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents and adjusted for the weighted average number of common shares outstanding that are subject to repurchase. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we have excluded 175 shares and 4,607 shares, respectively, subject to repurchase from the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Dilutive common stock equivalents are comprised of convertible preferred stock, warrants for common stock, options and restricted stock units outstanding under our stock option plan and estimated shares to be purchased under our employee stock purchase plan. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to our net loss position. Potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive are as follows (in common share equivalents):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be adopted at the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We expect the implementation of ASU No. 2016-02 to have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as we have aggregate future minimum lease payments for our administrative offices and research laboratory located in San Diego, California. We anticipate recognition of additional assets and corresponding liabilities related to this lease on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. The amendments in this update require an entity to apply the requirements of Topic 718 to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU No. 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2018-07 and do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-09, Codification Improvements to provide updates for technical corrections, clarifications, and other minor improvements that affect wide variety of Topics in the Codification including Amendments to Subtopic 718-40, Compensation–Stock Compensation–Income Taxes, which clarifies that an entity should recognize excess tax benefits (that is, the difference in tax benefits between the deduction for tax purposes and the compensation cost recognized for financial statement reporting) in the period in which the amount of the deduction is determined. This includes deductions that are taken on the entity’s tax return in a different period from when the event that gives rise to the tax deduction occurs and the uncertainty about whether (1) the entity will receive a tax deduction and (2) the amount of the tax deduction is resolved. ASU No. 2018-09 included other Topics which currently do not apply to us. The transition and effective date of ASU No. 2018-09 are based on the facts and circumstances of each amendment. Some of the amendments in ASU No. 2018-09 do not require transition guidance and are effective immediately and others have transition guidance with effective dates for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 for public business entities. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.
