Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“U.S. GAAP”) in the United States. Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and ASUs promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the interim periods presented.
On January 27, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-10.067 reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and adjusted the conversion ratio of the Company’s outstanding convertible preferred stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts for all common stock in the periods presented have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the reverse stock split and the adjustment of the preferred stock conversion ratios.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Company’s subsidiary, which the Company controls. Accordingly, all intercompany balances and transactions between these entities have been eliminated within the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Changes in estimates and assumptions are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process often may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes, and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Estimates are used in the following areas, among others: valuation of prepaid and accrued expenses related to certain research and development contracts, and share-based compensation expense which includes estimating the fair value of its common stock.
Significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s 2025 annual report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”), except for the following:
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Prior to the IPO, the Company did not meet the criteria to apply the simplified method for determining the expected term of stock option grants under the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Following the completion of its IPO in the first quarter of 2026, the Company elected to adopt the simplified method for stock option grants issued subsequent to the IPO. Under this method, the expected term is calculated as the midpoint between the vesting term and the contractual term of the award.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with prospective or retrospective application and early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statements.
