Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||
Organization and Nature of the Business | Organization and Nature of the Business Bellerophon Therapeutics, Inc., or the Company, is a clinical-stage therapeutics company focused on developing innovative products at the intersection of drugs and devices that address significant unmet medical needs in the treatment of cardiopulmonary diseases. The focus of the Company’s clinical program is the continued development of its nitric oxide therapy for patients with pulmonary hypertension, or PH, using its proprietary delivery system, INOpulse, with pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, representing the lead indication. The Company’s business is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to:
The Company was formerly the research and development operating segment of Ikaria, Inc. (a subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc), or Ikaria. During the third quarter of 2013 in conjunction with Ikaria’s financing activities, Ikaria began reporting financial information for two operating segments: its research and development business and its commercial business. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Ikaria completed an internal reorganization of the assets and subsidiaries of its two operating segments. In connection with the internal reorganization, Ikaria formed Bellerophon Therapeutics LLC as a new wholly-owned subsidiary and transferred the research and development-related assets related to INOpulse for PAH and INOpulse for PH-COPD to the Company and/or its subsidiaries. On December 24, 2013, Ikaria and Madison Dearborn Partners, or MDP, entered into an agreement and plan of merger, under which MDP would acquire a majority ownership position in Ikaria and existing shareholders retained a minority ownership position in Ikaria through certain merger transactions, or the Merger. On February 12, 2014, prior to the Merger, Ikaria distributed all of the Company’s outstanding units to Ikaria’s stockholders in a pro rata distribution through a special dividend, which is referred to as the Spin-Out. In the Spin-Out, each holder of Ikaria common stock received one voting limited liability company interest in the Company for each share of Ikaria common stock held. On February 2, 2015, the Company effected a reverse unit split of its outstanding units at a ratio of one unit for every 12.5257 units previously held. All unit and per unit data included in these consolidated financial statements reflect the reverse unit split. In February 2015, the Company converted from a limited liability company to a C-corporation. For periods prior to February 2015, references to the Company refer to Bellerophon Therapeutics, LLC. In connection with the Spin-Out, $80.0 million of cash was distributed to the Company. At the time of the Spin-Out, $18.5 million of the $80.0 million cash held by the Company was deposited in escrow to guarantee payment of the monthly services fees payable by the Company to Ikaria in exchange for the services to be provided by Ikaria pursuant to the Company’s transition services agreement with Ikaria, or the TSA, during the 24 months following the Spin-Out. See Note 8- Related-Party Transactions. On July 9, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the TSA advancing the termination date from February 9, 2016 to September 30, 2015. Pursuant to this amendment, during October 2015, the Company received from escrow $3.3 million, which is equal to the amount it deposited to pay amounts owed to Ikaria under the TSA for the remainder of the original period. On February 19, 2015, the Company completed the sale of 5,000,000 shares of common stock, or the IPO, at a price to the public of $12.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $51.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $4.2 million and offering costs of $3.9 million. The Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “BLPH” on February 13, 2015. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. For periods prior to the Spin-Out, the financial statements were carved out of the consolidated financial statements of Ikaria. Although the financial statements prior to the Spin-Out were prepared on a combined carve-out basis, the financial statements for all periods presented have been labeled “consolidated” financial statements for ease of reference since the most recent balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and 2014 are consolidated balance sheets. At the date of the Spin-Out, the historical accumulated deficit of approximately $182.0 million based on the carve-out financial statements through February 11, 2014 was eliminated in the transfer of net assets to the Company. The net loss for the period February 12, 2014 through December 31, 2014 of $54.2 million has been reflected as the accumulated deficit on the December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet, representing the net loss since the date of the Spin-Out. Net assets contributed to the Company in the Spin-Out were $75.6 million, including cash of $80.0 million. The results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and from February 12, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 represent actual results and the financial position of the Company on a stand-alone basis. The Company operates in one reportable segment and solely within the United States. Accordingly, no segment or geographic information has been presented. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of costs and expenses during the reporting period, including accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, income taxes and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For periods prior to the Spin-Out, the financial statements were carved out of the consolidated financial statements of Ikaria. Management believes that the statements of operations for the periods prior to the Spin-Out (which include a period of forty-two days prior to the Spin-Out in the year ended December 31, 2014) include reasonable allocations of costs and expenses incurred by Ikaria which benefited the Company. However, such amounts may not be indicative of the actual level of costs and expenses that would have been incurred by the Company if it had operated as an independent stand-alone company or of the costs and expenses expected to be incurred in the future. As such, the financial information for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 may not necessarily reflect the results of operations and cash flows of the Company had it been an independent stand-alone company for the period, or the results of operations and cash flows expected in the future. Direct and indirect costs related to the Company for INOpulse for PAH, INOpulse for PH-COPD and BCM clinical programs have been allocated to the Company for periods prior to February 12, 2014. These allocations were based on either a specific identification basis or, when specific identification was not practicable, proportional cost allocation methods, such as time and wage studies, depending on the nature of the expense. All allocations were based on actual costs incurred. For purposes of allocating non-project specific expenses, each departmental head provided information as to the percentage of employee time incurred on behalf of the Company. Allocations of general and administrative expenses by Ikaria to the Company for periods prior to February 12, 2014 include allocations of corporate management, finance, information technology, legal, human resources and other overhead expenses, based on an approximate pro-rata headcount of employees.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All investments with maturities of greater than three months from date of purchase are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities.
Restricted cash as of December 31, 2014 represents amounts previously held on deposit with a bank in relation to the TSA. The funds related to the TSA were held in an account to settle the required payment to Ikaria for services to be provided in connection with the TSA. Restricted cash as of December 31, 2015 represents amounts held on deposit with a bank as a security deposit for the lease of office space. The required deposits to be maintained in excess of one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term restricted cash.
Property and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost, which for internally developed assets include labor, materials and overhead. Additions and improvements that increase the value or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (3-15 years) of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be sold are no longer depreciated and are reclassified outside of property, plant and equipment at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 718 Compensation- Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock, exchanged for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in operations based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The resulting compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or sooner if the awards immediately vest. The Company determines the fair value of stock options issued using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Certain assumptions used in the model include expected volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, and expected term. For restricted stock, the fair value is the closing market price per share on the grant date. See Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation for a description of these assumptions. Prior to the date of the Spin-Out, stock-based compensation expense for the Company represented an allocation of Ikaria’s stock-based compensation expense based on the allocation percentages of the Company’s cost centers, which were determined based on specific identification or the proportionate percentage of employee time or headcount to the respective total Ikaria employee time or headcount.
Deferred transaction costs represent IPO-related costs primarily associated with third-party professional legal, accounting and printing fees associated with the IPO of the Company’s shares. These IPO-related costs were deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering when the public offering of equity securities was complete as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2015, the Company charged all deferred transaction costs against the gross proceeds of the offering.
Prior to its conversion to a Delaware corporation in February 2015, the Company was a Delaware limited liability company, or LLC, that passed through income and losses to its members for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As a result of its conversion to a Delaware corporation, the Company recognized deferred income taxes through income tax expense related to temporary differences that existed as of the date of its tax status change. The Company uses the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes as required by ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized, on a more likely than not basis. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on income tax returns it files if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. These tax benefits are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. As of the date of the conversion to a taxable corporation, the Company recognized approximately $17.9 million of deferred tax assets which consisted principally of excess tax-over-book basis in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and certain accruals that were transferred from the limited liability company to the corporation. The Company also recognized a full valuation allowance since it had a cumulative loss position and no positive evidence of taxable income to support recovery of the deferred tax assets. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $8.1 million in connection with the IPO which were recorded as a reduction of equity. These costs are nondeductible until and if the Company liquidates or terminates, which is not expected in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company did not recognize a deferred tax asset for such costs.
The Company’s marketable securities consist of federally insured certificates of deposit classified as available-for-sale that are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and corporate or agency bonds classified as available-for-sale that are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, except for losses from impairments which are determined to be other-than-temporary. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in the determination of net loss and are included in interest income, at which time the average cost basis of these securities are adjusted to fair value. Fair values are based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. Interest on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income.
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the costs of the Company’s proprietary research and development efforts, as well as costs incurred in connection with certain licensing arrangements. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with research and development collaborations are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval. Payments made to third parties upon or subsequent to regulatory approval are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related product. The Company also expenses the cost of purchased technology and equipment in the period of purchase if it believes that the technology or equipment has not demonstrated technological feasibility and it does not have an alternative future use. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and are recognized as research and development expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. (k) Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. (l) Reclassification Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. (m) New Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This guidance clarifies that an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter, and early application is permitted. The Company is assessing ASU 2014-15’s impact and will adopt it when effective. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is assessing ASU 2014-09’s impact and will adopt it when effective. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases", which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This standard requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by lease terms of more than 12 months. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

Liquidity | Liquidity In the course of its development activities, the Company has sustained operating losses and expects such losses to continue over the next several years. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.3 million and marketable securities of $17.8 million as of December 31, 2015. The Company received net proceeds of $51.9 million in February 2015 as a result of the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $4.2 million and offering costs of $3.9 million. The Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as it continues the development and clinical trials of, and seek regulatory approval for, its product candidates. The Company's primary uses of capital are, and it expects will continue to be, compensation and related expenses, third-party clinical research and development services, contract manufacturing services, laboratory and related supplies, clinical costs, legal and other regulatory expenses and general overhead costs. The Company's existing cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2015 will be used primarily to fund the first of two INOpulse for PAH Phase 3 trials, in which the Company expects to enroll the first patient in the first half of 2016. In addition, as of December 31, 2015, the Company had $11.3 million prepayments of research and development expenses related to its amended drug supply agreement with Ikaria and the clinical research organization it has partnered with for the first of the two Phase 3 clinical trials for INOpulse for PAH. The Company believes, as of December 31, 2015, it has sufficient funds to satisfy its operating cash needs for at least the next 12 months due in part to the Restructuring and other cost saving initiatives. The Company expects these funds, combined with additional funding anticipated from Global Corporate Finance, or GCF, will be sufficient to complete the first of two PAH Phase 3 trials. During December 2015, the Company entered into a letter agreement with GCF. In accordance with the terms of the letter agreement, the Company has agreed to place with GCF up to $20 million of its common stock subject to the execution of a definitive share purchase agreement and registration rights agreement. The Company may not draw down amounts that would result in GCF owning more than 19.9% of our outstanding shares. The first two draw downs under this letter agreement may not exceed $2 million. Thereafter, the draw down amounts will depend on the average daily trading volume of the Company's shares. The Company’s estimates and assumptions may prove to be wrong, and the Company may exhaust its capital resources sooner than expected. The process of testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress in clinical trials is uncertain. Because the Company’s product candidates are in clinical development and the outcome of these efforts is uncertain, the Company cannot estimate the actual amounts that will be necessary to successfully complete the development and commercialization, if approved, of its product candidates or whether, or when, the Company may achieve profitability. Until such time, if ever, as the Company can generate substantial product revenues, its expects to finance its cash needs through a combination of equity and debt offerings, existing working capital and funding from potential future collaboration arrangements. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the future sale of equity or debt, the ownership interest of its existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of such securities may include liquidation or other preferences or rights such as anti-dilution rights that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. If the Company raises additional funds through strategic partnerships in the future, it may have to relinquish valuable rights to its technologies, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to it. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, it may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that it would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself. |

Restructuring Charges | Restructuring Charges On July 27, 2015, the Company announced that its PRESERVATION I clinical trial for its BCM product candidate did not meet its primary or secondary endpoints. Following these results, on September 11, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a staff reduction plan in order to reduce operating expenses and conserve cash resources, or the Restructuring. The Restructuring included a workforce reduction of approximately 20 people and was completed by the end of 2015. The Company has offered severance benefits to the affected employees, including cash severance payments. Each affected employee’s eligibility for the severance benefits is contingent upon such employee’s execution (and non-revocation) of a separation agreement, which includes a general release of claims against the Company. The following table summarizes restructuring activities for the year ended December 31, 2015:

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company’s tax rate for 2015 is zero because the Company expects to generate additional losses and currently has a full valuation allowance. The Company was an LLC as of December 31, 2014 and until February 12, 2015 when it converted to a C corporation. Although, the Company was not subject to income taxes in any jurisdiction while it was an LLC, one of the Company’s subsidiaries was a C-corporation and subject to state and federal income taxes. This subsidiary generated an immaterial operating loss in 2014 and the short year ended February 12, 2015. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes is reflected in the Company’s 2014 or 2015 consolidated financial statements. Prior to the date of the Spin-Out, the Company did not file a separate tax return as the Company was included in the tax groupings of other Ikaria entities within the respective entity’s tax jurisdiction. As such, the income tax provision for 2013 was calculated using the separate return method, as if the Company filed a separate tax return in each of its respective tax jurisdictions. The income tax provisions for 2013 included in these carve out financial statements reflects Ikaria’s status as a C-corporation. A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2013 is as follows:
Deferred taxes as of December 31, 2015 reflect the tax effects of the differences between the amounts recorded as assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the comparable amounts recorded for income tax purposes. Significant components of the deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2015 are as follows:
There were no deferred taxes as of December 31, 2014. The increase in deferred tax assets after the corporate conversion is principally due to the year-to-date loss, adjusted for nondeductible items, including stock compensation expense related to the Company’s equity incentive plan, the nondeductible portion of the orphan drug costs, and the orphan drug credits partially offset by a reduction in accrued expenses. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2015, management believed that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be realized, based on future operations, consideration of tax strategies and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. The valuation allowance is required until the Company has sufficient positive evidence of taxable income necessary to support realization of its deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance release is recognized as an income tax benefit. Deferred taxes arising from the loss in the Company’s C-corporation subsidiary as of December 31, 2014 were immaterial. No other deferred taxes existed at December 31, 2014 due to the Company’s limited liability company structure. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no material uncertain tax positions. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the Company’s units (prior to the IPO date) and for options, the expected term of the option and expected volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The expected term of stock options is estimated using the “simplified method,” as the Company has no historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and post-vesting employment termination behavior for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For volatility, the Company uses comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of option grants due to its limited history as a public company. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected term of the option. For restricted stock, the fair value is the closing market price per share on the grant date. The estimation of the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or revised estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts will be recorded as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised. Bellerophon 2015 Equity Incentive Plan During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2015 Plan, which provides for the grant of options, restricted stock and other forms of equity compensation. As of December 31, 2015, the Company is authorized to issue equity compensation under the 2015 Plan in an amount up to an aggregate of 500,162 shares to eligible employees, directors and consultants. As of December 31, 2015, there was approximately $3.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. No tax benefit was recognized during the year end December 31, 2015 related to stock-based compensation expense since the Company incurred operating losses and has established a full valuation allowance to offset all the potential tax benefits associated with its deferred tax assets. Options Compensation expense is measured based on the fair value of the option on the grant date and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, or sooner if vesting occurs sooner than on a straight-line basis. Options are forfeited if the employee ceases to be employed by the Company prior to vesting. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company adopted the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2014 Plan, which provides for the grant of options. Following the effectiveness of the Company’s registration statement filed in connection with its IPO, no options may be granted under the 2014 Plan. The awards granted under the 2014 Plan generally have a vesting period of four years, of which 25% of the awards vest on the second anniversary of grant date, 25% vest on the third anniversary and the remaining 50% vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. The awards granted under the 2015 Plan have a vesting period of either three or four years, of which equal annual installments vest over the vesting period either beginning on the date of grant or on the one year anniversary of the date of grant. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options issued during the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $6.55 and $9.98, respectively. The following are the weighted average assumptions used in estimating the fair value of options issued during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
A summary of option activity under the 2015 and 2014 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2015 is presented below:
Restricted Stock All restricted stock awards granted under the 2015 Plan to date were in relation to 2015 incentives for employees and vest in full one year from the grant date. A summary of restricted stock activity under the 2015 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2015 is presented below:
Ikaria Equity Incentive Plans for Periods Prior to February 12, 2014 Options In February 2014, prior to the Spin-Out, each Ikaria stock option, other than options held by non-accredited investors who were also not employees of Ikaria, was adjusted such that it became an option to acquire the same number of shares of Ikaria non-voting common stock as were subject to the Ikaria stock option, or an Adjusted Ikaria Option, and an option to acquire the same number of non-voting limited liability company units of the Company as the number of shares of Ikaria non-voting common stock that were subject to the Ikaria stock option, or a Bellerophon Option. There were 618,212 Bellerophon Options issued as a result of the adjustment of Ikaria stock options. The vesting of each Adjusted Ikaria Option and Bellerophon Option was fully accelerated on the date of the Spin-Out and all related compensation expense was recognized as an expense by Ikaria. Prior to and in connection with the Spin-Out, the exercise price of each Adjusted Ikaria Option and Bellerophon Option was adjusted by allocating the relative post Spin-Out estimated fair values of Ikaria and the Company in a ratio of 85% and 15%, respectively, to the original Ikaria option exercise price. The expiration date of the options was not modified. The Company’s allocable portion of Ikaria’s stock-based compensation expense related to options for the period from January 1, 2014 through February 11, 2014 was approximately $0.1 million. A summary of option activity under the assumed Ikaria 2007 stock option plan and the assumed Ikaria 2010 long term incentive plan for the year ended December 31, 2015 is presented below:
The intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0.4 million and de minimis, respectively. The intrinsic value of options outstanding, vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2015 was de minimis. Restricted Stock Units In February 2014, prior to the Spin-Out, each Ikaria restricted stock unit, or RSU, was adjusted such that it became an RSU with respect to the same number of shares of Ikaria non-voting common stock as were subject to the Ikaria RSU, or an Adjusted Ikaria RSU, and an RSU with respect to the same number of non-voting limited liability company units of the Company as were subject to the Ikaria RSU, or a Bellerophon RSU. In connection with the Merger and the Spin-Out, the vesting of each Adjusted Ikaria RSU and Bellerophon RSU was fully accelerated. The compensation expense incurred upon the acceleration of the RSUs was recognized by Ikaria. Fully vested Bellerophon RSUs of 372,947 became Bellerophon non-voting units as of the date of the Spin-Out. Ikaria had granted RSUs to employees that generally vested over four years. RSUs granted prior to January 1, 2011 vested 25% annually. RSUs granted on and after January 1, 2011 vested 25% on the second and third anniversary of the date of grant and 50% on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant. Shares of Ikaria non-voting common stock were delivered to the employee upon vesting, subject to payment of applicable withholding taxes, which were paid in cash or an equivalent amount of shares withheld. Compensation expense for all RSUs was based on the grant date fair value of the RSU issued, which was based on the fair value of common stock of Ikaria. Compensation expense for RSUs was recognized by Ikaria on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The RSU expense allocated from Ikaria totaled $0.2 million for the period from January 1, 2014 through February 11, 2014. Stock-Based Compensation Expense, Net of Estimated Forfeitures The following table summarizes the stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The following disclosures include stock-based compensation expense recognized under the 2015 Plan and the 2014 Plan and expenses for dates prior to the Spin-Out that were allocated to the Company related to Ikaria share-based awards. .

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Related-Party Transactions | Related-Party Transactions During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, Ikaria was a related party of the Company. Included below and elsewhere in the financial statements are transactions and balances that relate to agreements entered into while Ikaria was a related party of the Company. Amendments to those agreements entered into during the year ended December 31, 2015 were entered into while the Company was no longer a related party. Separation and Distribution Agreement In connection with the Spin-Out, in February 2014, the Company and Ikaria entered into a separation and distribution agreement which sets forth provisions relating to the separation of the Company’s business from Ikaria’s other businesses. The separation and distribution agreement described the assets and liabilities that remained with or were transferred to the Company and those that remained with or were transferred to Ikaria. The separation and distribution agreement provides for a full and complete release and discharge of all liabilities between Ikaria and the Company, except as expressly set forth in the agreement. The Company and Ikaria each agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party and its subsidiaries, and each of their respective past and present directors, officers and employees, and each of their respective permitted successors and assigns, from any and all damages relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other things, the Company’s business and certain additional specified liabilities or Ikaria’s business and certain additional specified liabilities, as applicable. License Agreement In February 2014, the Company entered into a cross-license, technology transfer and regulatory matters agreement with a subsidiary of Ikaria. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, Ikaria granted to the Company a fully paid-up, non-royalty-bearing, exclusive license under specified intellectual property rights controlled by Ikaria to engage in the development, manufacture and commercialization of nitric oxide, devices to deliver nitric oxide and related services for or in connection with out-patient, chronic treatment of patients who have PAH, PH-COPD or PH associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or PH-IPF. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company granted Ikaria a fully paid-up, non-royalty-bearing, exclusive license under specified intellectual property rights that the Company controls to engage in the development, manufacture and commercialization of products and services for or used in connection with the diagnosis, prevention or treatment, whether in- or out-patient, of certain conditions and diseases other than PAH, PH-COPD or PH-IPF and for the use of nitric oxide to treat or prevent conditions that are primarily managed in the hospital. The Company agreed that, during the term of the license agreement, it will not, without the prior written consent of Ikaria, grant a sublicense under any of the intellectual property licensed to the Company under the license agreement to any of its affiliates or any third party, in either case, that directly or indirectly competes with Ikaria’s nitric oxide business. On July 27, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the license agreement to expand the scope of the Company’s license to allow the Company to develop its INOpulse program for the treatment of three additional indications: chronic thromboembolic PH, or CTEPH, PH associated with sarcoidosis and PH associated with pulmonary edema from high altitude sickness. Subject to the terms set forth therein, the amendment to the license agreement also provides that the Company will pay Ikaria a royalty equal to 5% of net sales of any commercialized products for the three additional indications. In November 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to its exclusive cross-license, technology transfer and regulatory matters agreement with Ikaria that included a royalty equal to 3% of net sales of any commercial products for PAH. Agreements Not to Compete In September 2013, October 2013 and February 2014, the Company and each of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement not to compete with a subsidiary of Ikaria, each of which was amended in July 2015, or, collectively, the agreements not to compete. Pursuant to the agreements not to compete, as amended, the Company and each of its subsidiaries agreed not to engage, anywhere in the world, in any manner, directly or indirectly, until the earlier of five years after the effective date of such agreement not to compete amendments or the date on which Ikaria and all of its subsidiaries are no longer engaged in such business as specified in the agreements. Transition Services Agreement In February 2014, the Company and Ikaria entered into the TSA, pursuant to which Ikaria agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide certain transition services to the Company, which services include management/executive, human resources, real estate, information technology, accounting, financial planning and analysis, legal, quality and regulatory support. Ikaria also agreed to use reasonable efforts to provide the Company with the use of office space at Ikaria’s headquarters in Hampton, New Jersey pursuant to the terms of the TSA. In July 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the TSA advancing the termination date from February 9, 2016 to September 30, 2015. Concurrently, the Company also entered into a new lease agreement for its office space - see Note 9. In exchange for the services, beginning in February 2014, the Company was obligated to pay Ikaria monthly services fees in the amount of $772,000 plus out of pocket expenses and certain other expenses. At December 31, 2015, the Company had no accrued expenses due to Ikaria in connection with the TSA. At December 31, 2014, related accrued expenses due to Ikaria amounted to $0.5 million. At the time of the Spin-Out, the Company deposited the sum of $18.5 million, representing the aggregate of the $772,000 monthly service fees payable by the Company under the TSA, in escrow to guarantee payment of the monthly services fees by the Company. The escrowed cash is classified as restricted cash as of December 31, 2014. Pursuant to the July 2015 amendment, during October 2015, the Company received from escrow $3.3 million, which is equal to the amount it deposited to pay amounts owed to Ikaria under the TSA for the remainder of the original term. Effective as of January 1, 2015, the Company entered into a services agreement with Ikaria, or the 2015 Services Agreement, pursuant to which the Company had agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide certain services to Ikaria, including services related to regulatory matters, drug and device safety, clinical operations, biometrics and scientific affairs. In connection with the execution of the 2015 Services Agreement, Ikaria paid the Company a one-time service fee in the amount of $916,666 and was obligated to pay the Company a service fee in the amount of $83,333 per month, subject to performance of the services. The Company has no receivable due from Ikaria in connection with this agreement as of December 31, 2015. In July 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2015 Services Agreement advancing the termination date from February 8, 2016 to September 30, 2015. In addition, pursuant to the 2015 Services Agreement, Ikaria had agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide services to the Company, including information technology and servicing and upgrades of devices. The following table summarizes the amounts recorded under the TSA and the 2015 Services Agreement for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:
Supply Agreements In February 2014, the Company entered into drug supply and device supply agreements with a subsidiary of Ikaria. Under these agreements, Ikaria agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply inhaled nitric oxide and nitric oxide delivery devices for use in the Company’s clinical trials, and in the case of the drug supply agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase its clinical supply of inhaled nitric oxide from Ikaria. The Company also granted Ikaria a right of first negotiation in the event that the Company desires to enter into a commercial supply agreement with a third party for supply of nitric oxide for inhalation. The device supply agreement expired on February 9, 2015 and no amounts were due to Ikaria under that agreement as of December 31, 2015 or 2014. In November 2015, the Company amended its drug supply agreement with Ikaria to secure future supply and pricing for cartridges and nitric oxide. Under the amended supply agreement, the Company paid Ikaria $6.6 million, $0.6 million of which was applied to outstanding amounts owed to Ikaria under the drug supply agreement. The remaining $6.0 million resulted in a prepayment to Ikaria in exchange for defined levels of cartridges and nitric oxide. The amendment to the agreement also fixes pricing for any additional cartridges or nitric oxide beyond the defined levels. Additionally, the amendment requires the Company to pay to Ikaria an additional $1.75 million upon successful completion of the initial PAH phase 3 clinical trial and a perpetual royalty calculated as 3% of PAH sales on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2015, no amount was due to Ikaria under the drug supply agreement. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings The Company periodically becomes subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with its business. BioLineRx Ltd., or BioLine, previously indicated to the Company that it believed that the Company had breached the license agreement in several ways, including, but not limited to, failure to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop bioabsorbable cardiac matrix, or BCM, failure to provide BioLine with material information concerning the development and commercialization plans for BCM and failure to notify BioLine in advance of material public disclosures regarding BCM. The Company and BioLine also previously disagreed about the timing of a certain milestone payment that the Company would owe BioLine based upon progress in the Company’s BCM clinical development program. The Company believed it had complied with its obligations under the license agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop BCM and was not in breach of its other obligations under the license agreement. No amounts were previously accrued for this matter since no loss was probable as of December 31, 2014. On January 8, 2015, the Company and BioLine agreed to amend the license agreement, which resolved the prior disputes and provided for a release of claims by BioLine. The amendment also changed certain milestones and related payments, but the total potential milestone payments to be paid to BioLine under the license agreement remained the same. No additional milestones have been met as of December 31, 2015. As of the date of this report, the Company is not aware of any proceeding, claim or litigation, pending or threatened, that could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, financial condition and/or liquidity. Operating Leases The following is a summary of the Company’s long-term contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2015 (in thousands).
(1) Operating lease obligations include the lease agreement the Company entered into on August 6, 2015 for office space in Warren, New Jersey and the Company’s lease of an operating facility located in North Brunswick, New Jersey. Rent expense, including direct and allocated expenses for year prior to 2015, is calculated on the straight-line basis and amounted to approximately $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $0.5 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Royalty payments and success-based milestones associated with the Company’s license and supply agreements with Ikaria have not been included in the above table of contractual obligations as the Company cannot reasonably estimate if or when they will occur. In the course of its normal business operations, the Company also enters into agreements with contract service providers and others to assist in the performance of its research and development and manufacturing activities. The Company can elect to discontinue the work under these contracts and purchase orders at any time with notice, and such contracts and purchase orders do not contain minimum purchase obligations. BioLineRx Ltd. In August 2009, the Company entered into a license agreement with BioLineRx Ltd. and BioLine Innovations Jerusalem L.P., which are referred to collectively as BioLine, under which the Company obtained an exclusive worldwide license to BCM. The Company does not intend to proceed with further clinical development of BCM until and unless it can determine an alternative path forward. Consequently, any future milestone and royalty payments to BioLine would depend on finding a path forward for future clinical development. Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize at least one product containing BCM. Under the terms of the license agreement, if the Company achieves certain clinical and regulatory events specified in the license agreement, the Company will be obligated to pay milestone payments to BioLine that could total, in the aggregate, up to $115.5 million, and if the Company achieves certain commercialization targets specified in the license agreement, the Company will be obligated to pay additional milestone payments to BioLine that could total, in the aggregate, up to $150.0 million. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay BioLine a specified percentage of any upfront consideration it receives for sublicensing BCM, as well as royalties on net sales, if any, at a percentage ranging from 11% to 15%, depending on net sales level, of any approved product containing BCM, subject to offsets for specified payments to third parties made in connection with BCM. The Company has reimbursed BioLine for certain legal fees in the amount of $250,000 following completion of its IPO. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss Per Share/Unit | Net Loss Per Share/Unit Basic net loss per share/unit is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding during the period, as applicable. Diluted net loss per share/unit is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares/units outstanding, adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities (options) using the treasury stock method, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. No net loss per unit information is presented for periods prior to the Spin-Out. The Company is reporting a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, therefore diluted net loss per share/unit is the same as the basic net loss per share/unit. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had 818,899 options to purchase units and 77,793 restricted stock awards outstanding that have been excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average units outstanding, because such securities had an antidilutive impact due to the loss reported. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) |
12 Months Ended |
---|---|
Dec. 31, 2015 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or GAAP. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. For periods prior to the Spin-Out, the financial statements were carved out of the consolidated financial statements of Ikaria. Although the financial statements prior to the Spin-Out were prepared on a combined carve-out basis, the financial statements for all periods presented have been labeled “consolidated” financial statements for ease of reference since the most recent balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and 2014 are consolidated balance sheets. At the date of the Spin-Out, the historical accumulated deficit of approximately $182.0 million based on the carve-out financial statements through February 11, 2014 was eliminated in the transfer of net assets to the Company. The net loss for the period February 12, 2014 through December 31, 2014 of $54.2 million has been reflected as the accumulated deficit on the December 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet, representing the net loss since the date of the Spin-Out. Net assets contributed to the Company in the Spin-Out were $75.6 million, including cash of $80.0 million. The results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and from February 12, 2014 through December 31, 2014 and the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 represent actual results and the financial position of the Company on a stand-alone basis. The Company operates in one reportable segment and solely within the United States. Accordingly, no segment or geographic information has been presented. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of costs and expenses during the reporting period, including accrued research and development expenses, stock-based compensation, income taxes and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For periods prior to the Spin-Out, the financial statements were carved out of the consolidated financial statements of Ikaria. Management believes that the statements of operations for the periods prior to the Spin-Out (which include a period of forty-two days prior to the Spin-Out in the year ended December 31, 2014) include reasonable allocations of costs and expenses incurred by Ikaria which benefited the Company. However, such amounts may not be indicative of the actual level of costs and expenses that would have been incurred by the Company if it had operated as an independent stand-alone company or of the costs and expenses expected to be incurred in the future. As such, the financial information for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 may not necessarily reflect the results of operations and cash flows of the Company had it been an independent stand-alone company for the period, or the results of operations and cash flows expected in the future. Direct and indirect costs related to the Company for INOpulse for PAH, INOpulse for PH-COPD and BCM clinical programs have been allocated to the Company for periods prior to February 12, 2014. These allocations were based on either a specific identification basis or, when specific identification was not practicable, proportional cost allocation methods, such as time and wage studies, depending on the nature of the expense. All allocations were based on actual costs incurred. For purposes of allocating non-project specific expenses, each departmental head provided information as to the percentage of employee time incurred on behalf of the Company. Allocations of general and administrative expenses by Ikaria to the Company for periods prior to February 12, 2014 include allocations of corporate management, finance, information technology, legal, human resources and other overhead expenses, based on an approximate pro-rata headcount of employees. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. All investments with maturities of greater than three months from date of purchase are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Restricted cash as of December 31, 2014 represents amounts previously held on deposit with a bank in relation to the TSA. The funds related to the TSA were held in an account to settle the required payment to Ikaria for services to be provided in connection with the TSA. Restricted cash as of December 31, 2015 represents amounts held on deposit with a bank as a security deposit for the lease of office space. The required deposits to be maintained in excess of one year from the balance sheet date are classified as long-term restricted cash. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at acquisition cost, which for internally developed assets include labor, materials and overhead. Additions and improvements that increase the value or extend the life of an asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (3-15 years) of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be sold are no longer depreciated and are reclassified outside of property, plant and equipment at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 718 Compensation- Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock, exchanged for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in operations based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The resulting compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period or sooner if the awards immediately vest. The Company determines the fair value of stock options issued using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. Certain assumptions used in the model include expected volatility, dividend yield, risk-free interest rate, and expected term. For restricted stock, the fair value is the closing market price per share on the grant date. See Note 7 - Stock-Based Compensation for a description of these assumptions. Prior to the date of the Spin-Out, stock-based compensation expense for the Company represented an allocation of Ikaria’s stock-based compensation expense based on the allocation percentages of the Company’s cost centers, which were determined based on specific identification or the proportionate percentage of employee time or headcount to the respective total Ikaria employee time or headcount. |
Deferred Transaction Costs | Deferred Transaction Costs Deferred transaction costs represent IPO-related costs primarily associated with third-party professional legal, accounting and printing fees associated with the IPO of the Company’s shares. These IPO-related costs were deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering when the public offering of equity securities was complete as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2015, the Company charged all deferred transaction costs against the gross proceeds of the offering. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Prior to its conversion to a Delaware corporation in February 2015, the Company was a Delaware limited liability company, or LLC, that passed through income and losses to its members for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As a result of its conversion to a Delaware corporation, the Company recognized deferred income taxes through income tax expense related to temporary differences that existed as of the date of its tax status change. The Company uses the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes as required by ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Valuation allowances are provided when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized, on a more likely than not basis. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on income tax returns it files if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. These tax benefits are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. As of the date of the conversion to a taxable corporation, the Company recognized approximately $17.9 million of deferred tax assets which consisted principally of excess tax-over-book basis in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and certain accruals that were transferred from the limited liability company to the corporation. The Company also recognized a full valuation allowance since it had a cumulative loss position and no positive evidence of taxable income to support recovery of the deferred tax assets. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $8.1 million in connection with the IPO which were recorded as a reduction of equity. These costs are nondeductible until and if the Company liquidates or terminates, which is not expected in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company did not recognize a deferred tax asset for such costs. |
Marketable Securities | Marketable Securities The Company’s marketable securities consist of federally insured certificates of deposit classified as available-for-sale that are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and corporate or agency bonds classified as available-for-sale that are recorded at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, except for losses from impairments which are determined to be other-than-temporary. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in the determination of net loss and are included in interest income, at which time the average cost basis of these securities are adjusted to fair value. Fair values are based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. Interest on available-for-sale securities are included in interest income. |
Research and Development Expense | Research and Development Expense Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. These expenses include the costs of the Company’s proprietary research and development efforts, as well as costs incurred in connection with certain licensing arrangements. Upfront and milestone payments made to third parties in connection with research and development collaborations are expensed as incurred up to the point of regulatory approval. Payments made to third parties upon or subsequent to regulatory approval are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related product. The Company also expenses the cost of purchased technology and equipment in the period of purchase if it believes that the technology or equipment has not demonstrated technological feasibility and it does not have an alternative future use. Nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities are deferred and are recognized as research and development expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. |
Reclassification | Reclassification Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. This guidance clarifies that an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter, and early application is permitted. The Company is assessing ASU 2014-15’s impact and will adopt it when effective. On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is assessing ASU 2014-09’s impact and will adopt it when effective. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases", which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This standard requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by lease terms of more than 12 months. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
