Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 7: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy to classify and disclose all assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining their fair value. The three tiers are defined as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop its own assumptions

Cash Equivalents

As of September 30, 2022 the Company held cash equivalents which are composed of money market funds and repurchase agreements that were purchased through repurchase intermediary banks and collateralized by deposits in the form of government securities and obligations. As of December 31, 2021, the Company held an insignificant amount of cash equivalents which were composed of investments in money market funds. The Company classifies investments in money market funds within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as the prices are available from quoted prices in active markets. Investments in repurchase agreements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these instruments are valued using observable market inputs including reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, bids and/or offers.

Investment in iECURE

In August 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Issuance Agreement with iECURE, Inc. (“iECURE”), pursuant to which iECURE granted the Company partial equity ownership in iECURE (the “iECURE equity”) as partial consideration for a license to use the Company’s PCSK9-directed ARCUS nuclease to insert genes into the PCSK9 locus to develop treatments for four pre-specified rare genetic diseases (the “PCSK9 license”). On issuance, the Company accounted for the iECURE equity at fair value under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”). Accordingly, the Company adjusts the carrying value of the iECURE equity to fair value each reporting period with any changes in fair value recorded to other income (expense). There were no assessed changes in the fair value of the iECURE equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The Company classifies the iECURE equity within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the assessed fair value was based on significant unobservable inputs given iECURE equity is not traded on a public exchange. For additional discussion of accounting for the iECURE Development and License agreement (as defined below) and the iECURE Equity Issuance Agreement (as defined below), refer to Note 9, “Collaboration and License Agreements.”

Final Payment Fee

The Company is required to pay a final payment fee upon maturity of the Revolving Line. The final payment fee was determined to be a derivative under ASC 815, therefore these fees were initially measured at fair value and recorded as debt discount to be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Line. Accordingly, the Company will adjust the carrying value of the final payment fee to fair value each reporting period with any changes in fair value recorded to other income (expense). There was no assessed change in the fair value of the final payment fee during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The Company classifies the final payment fee within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the assessed fair value was based on observable market inputs including the Company’s current borrowing rate on the Revolving Line. The final payment fee is included in the other noncurrent liabilities within the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022.
