−Removed: The Company accrues expenses related to clinical trials based on estimates of the services performed pursuant to their contractual arrangements, including those with clinical research organizations.
−Removed: Payments under these contracts may depend on factors such as the successful enrollment of patients and the completion of clinical milestones and may differ from the level of effort expended in each period.
−Removed: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit Auditing the Company’s accrued research and development expenses was complex in the context of this audit due to the volume of research and development activity and the reliance on third-party vendors.
−Removed: That is, due to the timing and pattern of invoices received from third parties, actual amounts incurred were not always known as of the audit report date.
−Removed: To test the accrued research and development expenses related to clinical trials, our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding of the Company’s process, testing the accuracy and completeness of the underlying data used in the estimates and evaluating and testing the significant assumptions that are used by management to estimate the accruals.

+Added: Fair Value Measurements
+Added: ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), establishes a fair value hierarchy for instruments measured at fair value and requires valuation technique(s) used to measure fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company.
Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
−Removed: ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange 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.

+Added: ASC 820 identifies fair value as the exchange 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 on the measurement date.
+Added: ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between the following:
• Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
−Removed: • Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted market prices, interest rates, and yield curves.
−Removed: • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using estimates of assumptions developed by the Company, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
−Removed: To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.
+Added: • Level 2 – Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices) such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
+Added: • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
+Added: To the extent that the valuation technique used to measure fair value utilizes inputs that are unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment.
Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
