| Item 2.02. | Results of Operations and Financial Condition |
On March 18, 2015 Spark Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing unaudited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The text of the press release, and the unaudited financial tables attached thereto, issued on March 18, 2015 were subsequently updated to reflect an immaterial correction in conjunction with the completion of the audit of the Company’s financial statements. On March 23, 2015, the Company posted on its website the corrected copy of the press release announcing its unaudited financial results and such press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The corrected unaudited financial tables reflect the following updates: Research and development expenses changed from $16,218,636 to $16,351,005; General and administrative expenses changed from $7,931,320 to $7,863,256; Additional paid-in capital changed from $54,300,528 to $54,364,833; and Accumulated deficit changed from $81,538,301 to $81,602,606. All calculated totals affected by the foregoing changes were also updated. In addition, in the text of the corrected release, the first and second sentences, third paragraph under the heading “Financial Results” were updated to read “Our research and development expenses for the period March 13, 2013 (inception) to December 31, 2013 were $4.9 million and for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $16.4 million. The $11.5 million increase was due to a $7.4 million increase in internal research and development expenses due to increased headcount and a $4.0 million increase in external research and development.”
