Leases

On March 8, 2018, the Company entered into a noncancelable operating lease agreement for office and laboratory space in Woburn, Massachusetts (the “Woburn Lease”). On March 10, 2021, the Company extended the Woburn Lease through June 30, 2024 with a monthly lease payment of $12 thousand. On March 4, 2022, the Company executed the first amendment to the Woburn Lease (the “Amendment”) which increased the size of the leased office and laboratory space with an aggregate monthly lease payment to $18 thousand, subject to annual increases beginning in November 2022 based on the consumer price index, in addition to payment of a proportional share of operating costs.

As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at each lease commencement date in determining the present value of the lease payments. The weighted-average discount rate used for leases as of June 30, 2022 is 8.0%. The weighted-average lease term as of June 30, 2022 is 2.0 years. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 operating cash flows used for operating leases was $88 thousand and $65 thousand, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, lease cost was $90 thousand and $68 thousand, respectively.

Amounts included in restricted cash as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consist of cash held to collateralize a letter of credit issued as a security deposit in connection with the Company’s lease of its corporate facility and for certain credit cards.

Legal Proceedings

The Company, from time to time, may be party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company was not subject to any material legal proceedings as of June 30, 2022, and, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, no material legal proceedings are currently pending or threatened.

Indemnification Agreements

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, and to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners, in connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third-party with respect to the Company’s products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after execution of the agreement. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and its executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. In addition, the Company maintains officers and directors insurance coverage. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Through June 30, 2022, the Company had not experienced any losses related to these indemnification agreements and no material claims were outstanding.

Other Matters

In February 2022, the Company determined it was affected by a business email compromise fraud which resulted in a diversion of the Company’s capital to unknown parties. This incident led to a loss of $136 thousand of cash for the year ended December 31, 2021 which was recorded as other expense, net in the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, an additional $590 thousand of cash was lost through the same incident. The Company implemented a variety of measures to further enhance its cybersecurity protections and minimize the impact of any future cyber incidents. The Company has insurance related to this event and has recovered $300 thousand of losses in total. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $136 thousand insurance recovery receivable within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s balance sheet and a corresponding recovery of losses which offset the loss within other expense, net in the Company’s statements of operations and comprehensive loss since the recovery of losses was considered probable. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a loss of $590 thousand within other expense, net which was partially offset by the remaining $164 thousand of insurance proceeds, for a net loss of $426 thousand recognized within other expense, net.
