Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (United States GAAP or GAAP).

Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2024 and consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are held at two financial institutions in the U.S. and one

financial institution in Israel and such amounts may, at times, exceed insured limits. The Company invests its cash equivalents in treasury securities. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash equivalents by placing them with banks and institutions it believes are highly creditworthy and in highly rated investments. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents to date.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical studies, clinical trials, and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting.

The Company’s product candidates are still in development and, to date, none of the Company’s product candidates have been approved for sale and, therefore, the Company has not generated any revenue from product sales.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained or maintained, that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval or that any approved products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date, unless otherwise discussed below.


Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In September 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. This amendment requires public issuers to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income, or loss, by the applicable statutory income tax rate. Additionally, this amendment requires issuers to disclose the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes as well as the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). For SEC filers, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption that this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
