Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principle ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed financial statements include only normal and recurring adjustments that the Company believes are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or any subsequent interim period. The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Because all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements are not included herein, these unaudited condensed financial statements and the notes accompanying them should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed by the Company with the SEC on March 16, 2023.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruptions in the global economy and has affected and may affect the Company’s business and operations in the future. In response to the pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act, among other things, includes tax provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer’s social security payments, net operating loss utilization and carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act had no impact on the Company’s income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2022 or the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to preclinical studies, percentage of completion of manufacturing activities, fair value of assets and liabilities, impairment of assets, leases, share-based compensation and income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration of potential dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares plus the potential dilutive effects of potential dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Potential dilutive securities are excluded from diluted earnings or loss per share if the effect of such inclusion is antidilutive. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities, which include unvested common stock, outstanding stock options and restricted stock units under the Company’s equity incentive plans, have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive to the net loss per share. For all periods presented, there is no difference in the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.

Long-Lived Asset Impairment

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. In the case of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets for the Company's leases, the Company determines whether there has been an impairment by comparing the carrying value of the group of assets to the anticipated undiscounted net future cash flows associated with the group of assets. If such cash flows are less than the carrying value, the Company writes down the group of assets to its fair value, which may be measured as anticipated net cash flows associated with the group of assets, discounted at a rate that the Company believes a market participant would utilize to reflect the risks associated with the cash flows, such as credit risk. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the impairment charge the Company recorded in connection with its leased facilities.
