Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BIND Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage nanomedicine platform company developing Accurins, targeted and programmable therapeutics. As used throughout these condensed consolidated financial statements, the terms “BIND,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the business of BIND Therapeutics, Inc. including our wholly-owned subsidiaries, BIND (RUS) LLC and BIND Biosciences Security Corporation. Our strategy is to leverage our Medicinal Nanoengineering® platform to develop our own pipeline of Accurins, initially in oncology, as well as to develop Accurins in collaboration with biopharmaceutical companies.

Our success is dependent upon our ability to successfully complete clinical development of and obtain regulatory approval of our drug candidates; successfully commercialize any approved products; generate revenue; meet our obligations; maintain adequate financing; and, ultimately, attain profitable operations.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments which are necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2014, the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2014, or for any future period.

On September 25, 2013, we completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of our common stock, which resulted in the sale of 4,700,000 shares, at a price of $15.00 per share. We received net proceeds before expenses from the IPO of $65.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions paid by us. In preparation for the IPO, our Board of Directors and stockholders approved a 1:2.62 reverse stock split of our common stock effective September 5, 2013. All share and per share amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted, where necessary, to give effect to this reverse stock split. In connection with the closing of the IPO, all of our outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock automatically converted to common stock at a 1:2.62 ratio on September 25, 2013, resulting in an additional 8,515,439 shares of our common stock becoming outstanding. On October 18, 2013, the underwriters exercised in part their option to purchase additional shares pursuant to the underwriting agreement relating to our IPO. On October 23, 2013, we closed a portion of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, and we sold an additional 370,499 shares at a price to the public of $15.00 per share. We received net proceeds before expenses of approximately $5.2 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions. The significant increase in the shares outstanding in September 2013 is expected to impact the comparability of our net loss per share calculations between 2013 and 2014 periods.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), its final standard on revenue from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the revenue model to contracts within its scope, an entity identifies the contract(s) with a customer, identifies the performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and recognizes revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us on January 1, 2017. We are currently assessing the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
