Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of PresentationThe accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern (see Note 1).
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cerecor Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany balances and transactions.
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations On October 10, 2019, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Aytu (the “Aytu Purchase Agreement”) to sell the Company’s rights, title and interest in assets relating to its pediatric portfolio, namely Aciphex® Sprinkle™, Cefaclor for Oral Suspension, Karbinal™ ER, Flexichamber™, Poly-Vi-Flor® and Tri-Vi-Flor™ (the “Pediatric Portfolio”), as well as the corresponding commercial infrastructure consisting of the right to offer employment to Cerecor’s sales force and the assignment of supporting commercial contracts (the “Aytu Divestiture”). The Aytu Divestiture closed on November 1, 2019. Upon the sale of the Pediatric Portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2019, the Pediatric Portfolio met all conditions required to be classified as discontinued operations. Therefore, the operating results of the Pediatric Portfolio are reported as income from discontinued operations, net of tax in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 (due to our continued involvement) and 2019. Additionally, the gain recognized as a result of the sale of the Pediatric Portfolio is reported within income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the year ended December 31, 2019. The assets and liabilities related to the Pediatric Portfolio are reported as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. For additional information, see Note 3.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including estimates related to but not limited to, revenue recognition, cost of product sales, stock-based compensation, fair value measurements, cash flows used in management's going concern assessment, income taxes, goodwill and other intangible assets, and clinical trial accruals. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market‑specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents are valued at cost, which approximates their fair value.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of the 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) deposits, credit card deposits, and security deposits for our leased corporate offices.
Accounts Receivable, net	Accounts Receivable, net Accounts receivable, net is comprised of amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business. Management considers all accounts receivable to be fully collectible at December 31, 2020, and accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded. Bad debt expense is charged to operations as amounts are determined to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible and recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than the payment terms negotiated with the customer. The Company generally negotiates payment terms of 30 days. The Company offers wholesale distributors a prompt payment discount, which is typically 2% as an incentive to remit payment within this timeframe. Accounts receivable are stated net of the estimated prompt pay discount.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains a portion of its cash and cash equivalent balances in the form of a money market account with a financial institution that management believes to be creditworthy. The Company has no financial instruments with off‑balance sheet risk of loss.
Leases	LeasesThe Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. If an arrangement contains a lease, the Company performs a lease classification test to determine if the lease is an operating lease or a finance lease. The Company has identified two operating leases, which both serve as administrative office space. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease liabilities are recognized on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term and are included in other long-term liabilities and other current liabilities on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets are valued at the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any indirect costs or rent prepayments, and reduced by any lease incentives and any deferred lease payments. Operating ROU assets are recorded in property and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the lease term. To determine the present value of lease payments on lease commencement, the Company uses the implicit rate when readily determinable, however, as most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement date. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Furthermore, the Company has elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for the leased property asset class. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease and is included within general and administrative expenses.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment consists of computers, office equipment, furniture, ROU assets (discussed above), and leasehold improvements and is recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed to operations as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight‑line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a life of four years for computers and software, and five years for equipment and furniture. For leasehold improvements, deprecation of the asset will begin at the date it is placed in service and the depreciable life of the leasehold improvement is the shorter of the lease term or the improvement's useful life. The Company uses the lesser of the lease term or ten years for leasehold improvements. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the disposed asset and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Acquisitions	AcquisitionsFor acquisitions that meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, the Company records the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting. All of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration, when applicable, are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The application of the acquisition method of accounting requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly allocate purchase price consideration. For acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, the Company accounts for the transaction as an asset acquisition.
Segment Information	Segment Information Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision‑making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s chief operating decision makers was the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer views the Company’s operations and manages the business as one operating segment. All long‑lived assets of the Company reside in the United States.
Goodwill	Goodwill The Company's goodwill relates to the amount that arose in connection with the Company's historical acquisitions which were accounted for as business combinations. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired when accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of the Company's reporting unit below its carrying amount. The Company consists of one reporting unit. Upon disposal of a portion of a reporting unit that constitutes a business, the Company assigns goodwill based on the relative fair values of the portion of the reporting unit being disposed and the portion of the reporting unit remaining. This approach requires a determination of the fair value of both the business to be disposed of and the business (or businesses) within the reporting unit that will be retained. As a result of the Aytu Divestiture, goodwill was assigned to the Pediatric Portfolio using the relative fair value approach discussed above.
Intangible Assets and Amortization Expense	Intangible Assets Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment if certain events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset might not be recoverable. Impairment losses are measured and recognized to the extent the carrying value of such assets exceeds their fair value. Amortization Expense Amortization expense includes the amortization of the Company's acquired intangible assets. There is no amortization expense included in cost of product sales or sales and marketing expense as all amortization expense is included within its own standalone line in operating expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Revenue Recognition	Product Revenues, net The Company generates substantially all of its revenue from sales of prescription drugs to its customers. Revenue from sales of prescription drugs was $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company has identified a single product delivery performance obligation, which is the provision of prescription drugs to its customers based upon master service agreements in place with wholesaler distributors, purchase orders from retail pharmacies or other direct customers and a contractual arrangement with a specialty pharmacy. The performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time, when control of the product has been transferred to the customer, either at the time the product has been received by the customer or to a lesser extent when the product is shipped. The Company determines the transaction price based on fixed consideration in its contractual agreements and the transaction price is allocated entirely to the performance obligation to provide pharmaceutical products. In determining the transaction price, a significant financing component does not exist because the timing from when the Company delivers product to when the customers pay for the product is less than one year and the customers do not pay for product in advance of the transfer of the product. Revenues from sales of products are recorded net of any variable consideration for estimated allowances for returns, chargebacks, distributor fees, prompt payment discounts, government rebates, and other common gross-to-net revenue adjustments. The identified variable consideration is recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time revenues from product sales are recognized. The Company recognizes revenue only to the extent that it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. Provisions for returns and government rebates are included within current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Provisions for prompt payment discounts and distributor fees are included as a reduction to accounts receivable. Calculating these items involves estimates and judgments based on sales or invoice data, contractual terms, historical utilization rates, new information regarding changes in these programs’ regulations and guidelines that would impact the amount of the actual rebates, our expectations regarding future utilization rates for these programs, and channel inventory data. These estimates may differ from actual consideration amount received and the Company will re-assess these estimates and judgments each reporting period to adjust accordingly. Pursuant to a transition services agreement entered into between Aytu and Cerecor, Aytu manages Millipred® commercial operations for a monthly fee of $12,000 for up to 18 months (post November 1, 2019) or until the Company establishes an independent commercial infrastructure for the product. As a result of the Aytu Divestiture in the fourth quarter of 2019, all product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 related to the Pediatric Portfolio are included within net income from discontinued operations, net of tax. Concentration with Customer As is typical in the pharmaceutical industry, the Company sells its prescription drugs in the United States primarily through wholesale distributors and a specialty contracted pharmacy. Wholesale distributors account for substantially all of the Company’s net product revenues and trade receivables. In addition, the Company earns revenue from sales of its prescription pharmaceutical products directly to retail pharmacies. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company's three largest customers accounted for approximately 46%, 25% and 27%, respectively, of the Company's total net product revenues of prescription drugs. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company's three largest customers accounted for approximately 41%, 30% and 28%, respectively, of the Company's total net product revenues of prescription drugs. Returns and Allowances Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that allows customers to return product within a specified period both prior to and, in certain cases, subsequent to the product's expiration date. The Company’s return policy generally allows customers to receive credit for expired products within six months prior to expiration and within one year after expiration. The provision for returns and allowances consists of estimates for future product returns and pricing adjustments. The primary factors considered in estimating potential product returns include: •the shelf life or expiration date of each product; •historical levels of expired product returns; •external data with respect to inventory levels in the wholesale distribution channel; •external data with respect to prescription demand for each of the Company’s products; and •the estimated returns liability to be processed by year of sale based on analysis of lot information related to actual historical returns. The Company’s estimate for returns and allowances may be impacted by a number of factors noted above. Rebates The Company is subject to rebates on sales made under governmental pricing programs. For example, Medicaid rebates are amounts owed based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector (Medicaid) benefit providers after the final dispensing of the product by a pharmacy to a benefit plan participant. Medicaid reserves are based on expected payments, which are driven by patient usage, contract performance and field inventory that will be subject to a Medicaid rebate. Medicaid rebates are typically billed up to 180 days after the product is shipped, however this can be as much as 270 days after the quarter in which the product is dispensed to the Medicaid participant. In addition to the estimates mentioned above, the Company’s calculation also requires other estimates, such as estimates of sales mix, to determine which sales are subject to rebates and the amount of such rebates. Periodically, the Company adjusts the Medicaid rebate provision based on actual claims paid. Due to the delay in billing, adjustments to actual claims paid may incorporate revisions of this provision for several periods. Because Medicaid pricing programs involve particularly difficult interpretations of complex statutes and regulatory guidance, the Company's estimates could differ from actual experience. In determining estimates for these rebates, the Company considers the terms of the contracts, relevant statutes, historical relationships of rebates to revenues, past payment experience, estimated inventory levels and estimated future trends. License and Other Revenue The Company recognizes revenues from collaboration, license or other research or sale arrangements when or as performance obligations are satisfied. For milestone payments, the Company assesses, at contract inception, whether the milestones are considered probable of being achieved. If it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will occur, the Company will not record revenue until the uncertainty has been resolved. Milestone payments that are contingent upon regulatory approval are not considered probable until the approvals are obtained as it is outside of the control of the Company. If it is probable that significant revenue reversal will not occur, the Company will estimate the milestone payments using the most likely amount method. The Company will reassess the milestones each reporting period to determine the probability of achievement. Cost of Product Sales Cost of product sales is comprised of (i) costs to acquire products sold to customers, (ii) license payments and other agreements granting the Company rights to sell related products, and (iii) the value of any write-offs of obsolete or damaged inventory that cannot be sold. The Company acquired the rights to sell certain of its commercial products through license and assignment agreements with the original developers or other parties with interests in these products. These agreements obligate the Company to make payments under varying payment structures based on its net revenue from related products.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These costs include, but are not limited to, expenses incurred under agreements with contract research organizations and investigative sites that conduct clinical trials and preclinical studies; the cost of acquiring, developing and manufacturing clinical trial materials; costs associated with preclinical activities and regulatory operations, pharmacovigilance, quality and travel; and employee‑related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock‑based compensation of research and development personnel. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials, are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations, or information provided to the Company by its vendors, such as clinical research organizations, with respect to their actual costs incurred. Payments for these activities are based on the terms of the individual arrangements, which may differ from the pattern of costs incurred, and are reflected in the financial statements as prepaid or accrued research and development expense, as the case may be.
Clinical Trial Expense Accruals	Clinical Trial Expense Accruals As part of the process of preparing its financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its expenses resulting from its obligations under contracts with vendors, clinical research organizations and consultants and under clinical site agreements in connection with conducting clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations, which vary from contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts. The Company’s objective is to reflect the appropriate trial expenses in its financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. The Company accounts for these expenses according to the progress of the trial as measured by subject progression and the timing of various aspects of the trial. The Company determines accrual estimates by taking into account discussion with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress or state of consummation of trials, or the services completed. During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts its clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from its estimates. The Company makes estimates of its accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known to it at that time. The Company’s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third‑party vendors. Although the Company does not expect its estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, its understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed might vary and might result in it reporting amounts that are too high or too low for any particular period.
Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses	Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expenses Acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) expense includes the initial costs of IPR&D projects, acquired directly in a transaction other than a business combination, that do not have an alternative future use.
Estimated Fair Value and Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration	Estimated Fair Value and Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration The Company's historical business acquisition of TRx Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“TRx”) in November 2017 (the “TRx Acquisition”) involved the potential for future payment of consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of operational and commercial milestones. The fair value of contingent consideration was determined at the acquisition date utilizing unobservable inputs such as the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows, the probability of success (achievement of the contingent event) and the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. Subsequent to the acquisition date, at each reporting period, the contingent consideration liability was remeasured at the current fair value with changes recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As part of a settlement the Company entered into in the second quarter of 2019, the Company was released from its contingent consideration liability related to the TRx Acquisition. Therefore, the Company's contingent consideration liability was $0 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The change in fair value of contingent consideration was included within its own standalone line in operating expenses from continuing operations in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Estimated Fair Value of Investment in Aytu and Change in Fair Value of Investment in Aytu As consideration for the sale of the Pediatric Portfolio to Aytu in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company received 9,805,845 shares of Aytu Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Investment in Aytu”). Pursuant to ASC 323, the Company accounted for this investment as a financial instrument because Cerecor's investment does not result in a controlling financial interest, as the preferred stock received is in-substance common stock and Cerecor does not have the ability to exercise significant influence or joint control of Aytu. Therefore, the fair value of the Investment in Aytu was determined at the divestiture date utilizing quoted prices for Aytu's common stock price with a discount for lack of marketability due to the Company’s shares being restricted as of December 31, 2019 and subject to a lockup period. Subsequent to the divestiture date, at each reporting period prior to the sale of the underlying common stock, the Investment in Aytu was remeasured at its current fair value with the change in fair value recorded to other income, net in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss. In April 2020, Cerecor was permitted to convert the Aytu Series G Preferred Stock into 9,805,845 shares of Aytu’s common stock (the “Aytu Common Shares”), and subsequently sold all of the Aytu Common Shares in a series of transactions. The sale resulted in a realized gain, calculated as the difference between the net proceeds received and the fair value of the Investment in Aytu at the divestiture date, which was recognized in change in fair value of Investment in Aytu within the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. Estimated Fair Value of Guarantee and Change in Fair Value of Guarantee As of the closing date of the Aytu Divestiture on November 1, 2019, Aytu assumed the Company's debt obligation to Deerfield CSF, LLC (“Deerfield”) and the contingent consideration liability related to future royalties on Avadel Pharmaceuticals PLC’s (“Avadel”) pediatric products. In conjunction with the closing of this transaction, the Company entered into a Guarantee in favor of Deerfield, which guarantees the payment of the assumed liabilities to Deerfield, which included the debt obligation and the contingent consideration related to future potential royalties on Avadel's pediatric products (collectively referred to as the “Guarantee”). Aytu publicly reported that it had paid the $15.0 million balloon payment to Deerfield before it came due in June 2020, thus satisfying that portion of the debt obligation assumed as part of the divestiture. The remaining minimum commitments payable related to the future potential royalties on Avadel’s pediatric products was $7.3 million as of June 30, 2020 (as most recently publicly reported by Aytu), which represents Cerecor's estimated maximum potential future payments under the Guarantee. The fair value of the Guarantee, which relates to the Company's obligation to make future payments if Aytu defaults, was determined at the time of the divestiture as the difference between (i) the estimated fair value of the debt and contingent payments, respectively, using Cerecor's estimated cost of debt and (ii) the estimated fair value of the debt and contingent payments, respectively, using Aytu's estimated cost of debt. Subsequent to the close of the Aytu Divestiture, at each reporting period, the value of the Guarantee is determined based on the expected credit loss of the Guarantee with changes recorded in income from discontinued operations, net of tax within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 3 for more information.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan	Paycheck Protection Program Loan The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) provides stimulus measures, including the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), to provide certain small businesses with liquidity to support their operations (such as to retain employees and maintain payroll and lease payments) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cerecor received a $0.4 million PPP Loan during the second quarter of 2020 (the “PPP Loan”). PPP loans have a 1% fixed annual interest rate and mature in two years, and are eligible for forgiveness under certain conditions. If there is reasonable assurance that the PPP Loan will be forgiven, the Company may elect to account for the PPP Loan either as debt under ASC 470 or as a government grant. If accounted for as a government grant, the Company may elect to present the PPP Loan as either a credit in the income statement within other income or as a reduction to the related expense. As of December 31, 2020, the Company believes it meets the criteria for forgiveness and submitted an application for forgiveness with its lender in 2020. Once approved by the lender, the lender will submit the forgiveness application to the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) for ultimate approval. The SBA has 90 days from receipt to approve or reject the forgiveness application. Because the Company believes it meets the criteria for forgiveness and incurred the related expenses during the year, the Company elected to recognized the PPP Loan as other income within the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock‑Based Compensation The Company applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock‑based awards made to employees, including employee stock options, in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. For stock options issued to employees and members of the board of directors for their services, the Company estimates the grant date fair value of each option using the Black‑Scholes option pricing model. The use of the Black‑Scholes option pricing model requires management to make assumptions with respect to the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the common stock consistent with the expected life of the option, risk‑free interest rates and expected dividend yields of the common stock. For awards subject to service‑based vesting conditions, including those with a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes stock‑based compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of stock options on a straight‑line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. Forfeitures are recorded as they are incurred as opposed to being estimated at the time of grant and revised. For stock option grants with market-based conditions, compensation expense is recognized ratably over the attribution period. The Company estimates the fair value of the market-based stock option grants using a Monte-Carlo simulation. The Company generally estimates fair value using assumptions, including the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of peer group of similar companies, risk free interest rate and the expected dividend yield. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, the Company's stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets primarily include net operating loss (“NOL”) and tax credit carryforwards, accrued expenses not currently deductible and the cumulative temporary differences related to certain research and patent costs. Certain tax attributes, including NOLs and research and development credit carryforwards, may be subject to an annual limitation under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”). See Note 12 for further information. The portion of any deferred tax asset for which it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized must then be offset by recording a valuation allowance. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The amount for which an exposure exists is measured as the largest amount of benefit determined on a cumulative probability basis that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement of the position. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not believe any material uncertain tax positions were present.
Comprehensive Loss	Comprehensive LossComprehensive loss comprises net loss and other changes in equity that are excluded from net loss. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s net loss was equal to comprehensive loss and, accordingly, no additional disclosure is presented.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Financial Instruments - Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). This guidance applies to all entities and impacts how entities account for credit losses for most financial assets and other instruments. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for credit losses rather than a reduction to the carrying value of the asset. For trade receivables, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, entities will be required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods therein. Upon adoption of the new standard on January 1, 2020, the Company began recognizing an allowance using a forward-looking approach to estimate the expected credit loss related to financial assets. The Company began monitoring the financial performance and creditworthiness of its customers so that it can properly assess and respond to changes in the customers’ credit profiles. Over 95% of sales were generated from three major industry wholesalers for the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, pursuant to the new standard, at each reporting period, the Company adjusts the Guarantee liability through earnings based on expected credit losses in accordance with Topic 326. The Company evaluated the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements, concluding there was no significant impact on the Company's results of operations, financial position, cash flows or disclosures. Fair Value Measurements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” This new standard modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. This new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company evaluated the impact of the adoption of this new standard on its financial statements, concluding there was no significant impact. Income Tax Simplification In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)(ASU 2019-12)”, which provides final guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to the guidance in ASC 740 related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation that is applicable to the Company, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences among other changes. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period. The Company elected to early adopt the ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2020. Management concluded that the adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact to income taxes reported on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
