Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The functional and reporting currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The aggregate foreign currency transaction loss included in determining net loss was not material for the periods presented. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023 and condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Such estimates include lease liability, accruals for research and development activities, ordinary share valuation and related share-based compensation and certain other accrued liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company is exposed to credit risk from its deposits of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in excess of the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company invests its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in money market funds, corporate debt securities, U.S. government bonds and U.S. government agency bonds. The Company limits its credit risk associated with cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments by investing in investment-grade securities and using banks and institutions it believes are creditworthy. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments to date. The Company has no off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk, such as foreign currency exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements. 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 resources, 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 any of its products. 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 any revenue from any of its products. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of vendors to manufacture supplies and materials for its use in the clinical trial programs. These programs could be adversely affected by a significant interruption in these manufacturing services. Credit Losses For short-term investments in an unrealized loss position, the Company periodically assesses its portfolio for impairment. The assessment first considers the intent or requirement to sell the available-for-sale debt securities. If either of these criteria are met, the amortized cost basis will be written down to fair value through earnings. If not met, the Company evaluates whether the decline resulted from credit losses or other factors by considering the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the short-term investments by a rating agency, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the short-term investments, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the short-term investments is compared to the amortized cost basis of the short-term investments. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, with a corresponding adjustment to interest and other income (expense), net, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. The Company has elected to exclude accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities for the purposes of identifying and measuring an impairment. The Company writes off accrued interest as a reduction of interest income when an issuer has defaulted on interest payments due on a security. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive loss. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company establishes the fair value of its assets and liabilities using the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and established a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The Company determines the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities using the fair value hierarchy which establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value (see Note 4. Fair Value Measurements). Deferred Offering Costs The Company capitalizes, within other non-current assets, certain legal, accounting and other third-party fees that are directly related to the Company’s in-process equity financings, including its IPO, until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded as a reduction of the proceeds received as a result of the offering. Should a planned equity financing be abandoned, terminated or significantly delayed, the deferred offering costs will be immediately written off to general and administrative expenses. Upon closing the IPO, all deferred offering costs were charged against the proceeds from the IPO and recorded in shareholders equity (deficit) as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. As of June 30, 2023, there were no deferred offering costs recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Ordinary Shareholders Basic net loss per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares, including non-voting ordinary shares, outstanding during the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders is computed as net loss less accretion of redeemable convertible preferred shares. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares, including non-voting ordinary shares, and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, the redeemable convertible preferred shares, ordinary share warrants, unvested restricted ordinary shares subject to repurchase and share options are considered to be potentially dilutive securities. Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities as the redeemable convertible preferred shares are considered a participating security because they participate in dividends with ordinary shares. The holders of redeemable convertible preferred shares do not have a contractual obligation to share in the Company’s losses. As such, the net loss was attributed entirely to ordinary shareholders, including non-voting ordinary shares. Because the Company has reported a net loss for all periods presented, diluted net loss per ordinary share is the same as basic net loss per ordinary share for those periods. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Account Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This ASU replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The amendments in this Update are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2023 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
