Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s summary of significant accounting policies contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC, except for the recently adopted accounting standard for ASU No. 2016-13 as disclosed below. Use of Estimates The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuation of share-based awards, income taxes, and accruals for research and development activities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. However, actual results could differ from those estimates and there may be changes to the Company’s estimates in future periods. Short-term Investments The Company’s short-term investments are comprised of U.S. Treasuries, corporate debt securities and certificates of deposit that have original maturities less than or equal to one year and are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities. Such securities are carried at estimated fair value, net of allowance for credit loss determined based on the Current Expected Credit Loss. Any unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity. In the event that the AFS security's fair value is below the amortized cost and (i) the Company intends to sell the AFS security and (ii) the AFS security is required to be sold before recovery of the loss, the AFS security's amortized cost base will be written down to its fair value and the loss will be recognized in the income statement. If the Company intends not to sell the AFS security and the AFS security is not required to be sold before recovery of the loss, the Company evaluates whether a portion of the unrealized loss is a result of credit loss. The portion of unrealized loss related to credit loss will be recorded as allowance for credit loss in the balance sheet with the corresponding credit loss in the income statement and the portion of unrealized loss not related to credit loss will be recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Dividend and interest income are recognized in other income when earned. The cost of securities sold is calculated using the specific identification method. The Company places all investments with government agencies, or corporate institutions whose debt is rated as investment grade. As of September 30, 2023, none of the unrealized losses on the Company’s short-term investments are a result of credit loss, and therefore, the unrealized losses were recognized in OCI. Income Taxes During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a total of $0.2 million income tax benefit related to interest received and receivable on income tax refunds. Other than the tax benefit related to interest, the Company did not record an income tax expense (benefit) for either of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022 due to a full valuation allowance. The Company calculates its quarterly income tax provision based on an estimated, annual effective tax rate applied to ordinary income (or loss) and other known items computed and recognized as they occur. The Company’s total provision is based on the United States statutory rate, increased by state and foreign taxes and reduced by a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets. Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU No. 2016-13”). ASU No. 2016-13 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected and any unrealized loss relating to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The Company adopted this new accounting standard on January 1, 2023 using a modified retrospective method. Adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s summary of significant accounting policies contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC, except for the recently adopted accounting standard for ASU No. 2016-13 as disclosed below.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions made in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not

limited to, the valuation of share-based awards, income taxes, and accruals for research and development activities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. However, actual results could differ from those estimates and there may be changes to the Company’s estimates in future periods.

Short-term Investments

The Company’s short-term investments are comprised of U.S. Treasuries, corporate debt securities and certificates of deposit that have original maturities less than or equal to one year and are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities. Such securities are carried at estimated fair value, net of allowance for credit loss determined based on the Current Expected Credit Loss. Any unrealized holding gains or losses are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, which is a separate component of stockholders’ equity. In the event that the AFS security's fair value is below the amortized cost and (i) the Company intends to sell the AFS security and (ii) the AFS security is required to be sold before recovery of the loss, the AFS security's amortized cost base will be written down to its fair value and the loss will be recognized in the income statement. If the Company intends not to sell the AFS security and the AFS security is not required to be sold before recovery of the loss, the Company evaluates whether a portion of the unrealized loss is a result of credit loss. The portion of unrealized loss related to credit loss will be recorded as allowance for credit loss in the balance sheet with the corresponding credit loss in the income statement and the portion of unrealized loss not related to credit loss will be recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Dividend and interest income are recognized in other income when earned. The cost of securities sold is calculated using the specific identification method. The Company places all investments with government agencies, or corporate institutions whose debt is rated as investment grade. As of September 30, 2023, none of the unrealized losses on the Company’s short-term investments are a result of credit loss, and therefore, the unrealized losses were recognized in OCI.
