Reclassifications

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Restricted Cash

Under the terms of an office lease entered into in March 2020, we are required to maintain a standby letter of credit during the term of the lease. As of March 31, 2021, restricted cash of $0.2 million was pledged as collateral for the letter of credit.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed balance sheets that sum to the total of the amounts shown in the unaudited condensed statements of cash flows, in thousands:

Allowance for Credit Losses

For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through earnings. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, we consider the severity of the impairment, any changes in interest rates, changes to the underlying credit ratings and forecasted recovery, among other factors. The credit-related portion of unrealized losses, and any subsequent improvements, are recorded in interest income through an allowance account. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is included in other comprehensive income (loss) on the unaudited condensed statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. We maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. We have established guidelines to limit our exposure to credit risk by placing investments with high credit quality financial institutions, diversifying our investment portfolio and placing investments with maturities that maintain safety and liquidity. We periodically review and modify these guidelines to maximize trends in yields and interest rates without compromising safety and liquidity.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. Common stock equivalents outstanding are comprised of stock options, restricted stock units, a warrant and employee stock purchase plan rights and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share when net income is reported and their effect is dilutive. Because of our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, outstanding common stock equivalents totaling approximately 6,834,000 and 5,368,000, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share because their effect was anti-dilutive.
