Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are described in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on March 28, 2023. There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2023, except as noted below.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the operations of Acrivon Therapeutics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

Investments

The Company classifies all investments with an original maturity of greater than three months and less than one year upon purchase as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value based upon market prices at period end, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive loss. The amortized cost of debt securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses and declines in value due to credit-related factors on available-for-sale securities are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividends on securities classified as available-for-sale are included in interest income in the consolidated statements of operation.

At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the unrealized loss or any potential credit losses should be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it 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 net income (loss). For available-for-sale securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers 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. There have been no impairment or credit losses recognized during any of the periods presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (collectively, "Topic 326"). Topic 326 significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. Topic 326 requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets, which will generally result in earlier recognition of allowances for credit losses on loans and other financial instruments. The measurement is based on relevant information, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount and requires disclosure requirements related to credit risks. The Company adopted this accounting standard as of January 1, 2023, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
