(2) Significant Accounting Policies

Fair Value Option

Under the Fair Value Option subsection of Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments – Overall, the Company has the irrevocable option to report most financial assets and liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The Company has elected to report the related party note it issued to Agenus on February 12, 2024 (the “Note”) at fair value. The fair value of the Note is determined on a scenario based present value methodology. The outstanding principal amount of the Note was $5.0 million at June 30, 2024.

Other Policies

The Company’s remaining significant accounting policies are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and

Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 21, 2024. Since the date of those financial statements there have been no changes, other than the fair value option policy defined above, to the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Financial Statement Preparation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, the local currency is the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using rates in effect at the balance sheet date while expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the period. The cumulative translation adjustment resulting from changes in exchange rates are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in total stockholders’ deficit.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company deconsolidated a foreign subsidiary and recognized a gain of approximately $185,000, included in "Other income, net" on its condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
