Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of presentation

Basis of presentation:

 

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 
Use of estimates

Use of estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions pertaining to transactions and matters whose ultimate effect on the financial statements cannot precisely be determined at the time of financial statements preparation. Although these estimates are based on management’s best judgment, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 
Fair value of financial instruments

Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

 

A fair value hierarchy is used to rank the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices in the markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The following tables summarizes the Company’s financial assets subject to fair value measurement and the level of inputs used in such measurements as of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:

 

   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   As of September 30, 2025 
   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
                 
Marketable securities:                    
Money market mutual funds  $73,454   $73,454   $-   $- 
Marketable securities   $73,454   $73,454   $-   $- 

 

   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
   As of December 31, 2024 
   Total   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
                 
Marketable securities:                    
Money market mutual funds  $2,356   $2,356   $-   $- 
Marketable securities   $2,356   $2,356   $-   $- 

 

The Company’s financial assets are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s money market funds are classified as Level 1. Other than that, the Company doesn’t have any other financial assets or financial liabilities marked to market at fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 
Share-based compensation

Share-based compensation:

 

The Company applies ASC 718-10, “Share-Based Payment” (“ASC 718-10”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including stock options under the Company’s stock plans based on estimated fair values.

 

ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock options using an option-pricing model, which is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s statement of comprehensive loss, based on a straight-line method. The Company recognizes compensation cost for an equity classified award with only service conditions that has a graded vesting schedule on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award, provided that the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized at any date at least equals the portion of the grant date fair value of such award that is vested at that date.

 

The Company recognizes the expense for an equity classified awards subject to performance-based milestone vesting over the remaining service period when management determines that achievement of the milestone is probable. Management evaluates when the achievement of a performance-based milestone is probable based on the expected satisfaction of the performance conditions at each reporting date. If no explicit service period is determined, the Company estimates the implicit service period based on the timing the employee is expected to achieve the related performance condition. When no future services are required to be performed by the grantee in exchange for an award of equity instruments, and if such award does not contain a performance condition, the cost of the award is expensed on the grant date.

 

 

The Company estimates the implicit service period based on the timing the employee is expected to achieve the related performance condition. When no future services are required to be performed by the grantee in exchange for an award of equity instruments, and if such award does not contain a performance condition, the cost of the award is expensed on the grant date.

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted as share-based payment awards using a Black-Scholes options pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility is estimated based on the standard deviation of the Company’s closing prices according to the expected life (SAB107) for each of the grants. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term.

 

For stock options that qualify as “plain-vanilla,” the expected term is calculated using the simplified method. For stock options that do not qualify as “plain-vanilla”, the Company’s management estimated that the expected stock option term is the contractual term of the options. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair value of the stock options granted and the results of operations of the Company.

 
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements:

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”) to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses on an interim and annual basis. All disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-07 are required also for entities with a single reportable segment. The ASU was effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent interim periods. As part of the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07, which was applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. Refer to Note 5 herein for further details regarding this adoption.

 
Accounting pronouncements not yet effective

Accounting pronouncements not yet effective:

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220- 40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires the disaggregation of certain expenses in the financial statements notes, to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

 

The ASU is effective for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2024-03 will have on its related disclosures.
