Interim Financial Information
Our interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for the fair statement of financial statements for the interim period have been included. The interim financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.

| Use of Estimates |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events, such as the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the results of which form the basis for making certain judgments. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.

Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2020, the FASB issued a staff question-and-answer document, “Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic” (the “COVID-19 Q&A”), to address certain frequently-asked questions pertaining to lease concessions arising from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing lease guidance requires entities to determine if a lease concession is a result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (which would be addressed under the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession is under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (which would not fall under the lease modification accounting framework). The COVID-19 Q&A clarifies that entities may elect to not evaluate whether lease-related relief granted in light of the effects of COVID-19 is a lease modification, provided that the concession does not result in a substantial increase in rights of the lessor or obligations of the lessee. This election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than the total payments required by the original contract. We have not needed to make use of this election to date.
On July 19, 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-05, “Leases (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases With Variable Lease Payments,” to improve guidance for a lessor’s accounting for lease contracts that have variable lease payments not dependent on a reference index or a rate and that would have resulted in the recognition of a selling loss at commencement if classified as a sales-type or direct financing lease. Leases that contain such variable lease payments are to be classified and accounted for as operating leases by the lessor if the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease and the lessor would otherwise have recognized a day-one loss. While earlier application is permitted, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and can be applied either retrospectively to leases that commenced or were modified on or subsequent to the adoption of Topic 842 or prospectively as of the date of adoption of ASU 2021-05. The Company early adopted this ASU using the prospective method, however the implementation of this update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
