| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company has prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include those accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts presented in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the period ended June 30, 2025 to conform to the presentation for the period ended June 30, 2026. Unaudited Interim Financial Information The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, statement of stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these condensed consolidated financial statements, as is permitted by such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period. Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods presented. Estimates are used for, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, accrued research and development expenses, depreciation of equipment, fair value of financial instruments, contingencies, and the valuation of consideration transferred in the acquisition of Faeth Therapeutics. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase and consist of time deposits, commercial paper, corporate bonds, and investments in money market funds with commercial banks and financial institutions. As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents included cash on deposit at commercial banks and a money market fund that invests in U.S. Government securities. Marketable Securities Investments consist of marketable securities with original maturities greater than 90 days at the date of purchase. The Company has classified its investments with maturities beyond one year as short-term, based on their highly liquid nature and because such marketable securities represent the investment of cash that is available for current operations. The Company considers its investment portfolio of marketable securities to be available-for-sale. Accordingly, these investments are recorded at fair value (Level 2). Unrealized gains and losses are reported as the accumulated other comprehensive items in stockholders’ equity. Amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts are recorded in other income (expense). Realized gains or losses on debt securities are included in interest income or interest expense, respectively. If any adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in value of the investment, the Company considers all available evidence to evaluate the extent to which the decline is other than temporary and, if so, marks the investment to market on the Company’s statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs or maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life or the life of the lease. Acquired In-Process Research and Development Expense The Company accounts for acquisitions of assets or a group of assets that do not meet the definition of a business as asset acquisitions based on the cost to acquire the asset or group of assets, which include certain transaction costs. In an asset acquisition, the cost to acquire is allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. No goodwill is recorded in an asset acquisition. Assets that are acquired in an asset acquisition for use in research and development activities that have an alternative future use are capitalized as in process research and development (“IPR&D”). Acquired IPR&D that has no alternative future use as of the acquisition date is recognized as research and development expense as of the acquisition date. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock The Company has classified its redeemable convertible preferred stock as temporary equity in the accompanying balance sheets due to redemption provisions that are outside of the control of the Company. Subsequent adjustments of the carrying values to the redemption values will be made only when it becomes probable that such a change in control event will occur. The Company did not accrete the carrying values of the redeemable convertible preferred stock to the redemption values as redemption was contingent on shareholder approval, which was obtained on June 10, 2026. Preferred Stock Warrants The Company accounts for its redeemable convertible preferred share warrants issued in connection with its various financing transactions based upon the characteristics and provisions of the instrument. Warrants that have been determined to be classified as liabilities are recorded on the balance sheet as a long-term liability at their fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each reporting period, with the changes in fair value recognized in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, net in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company adjusted the liability for changes in the fair value of these warrants until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants, the expiration of the warrants, or until such time as the warrants are no longer considered a liability. Segments The Company manages its operations as a segment, dedicated to improving outcomes for cancer patients by developing novel therapeutics, including through multi-node inhibition of critical oncogenic pathways. The Company’s (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), reviews the operating results on an aggregate basis and manages the operations as a single operating segment. The CODM oversees performance assessment and resource allocation by reviewing net loss as reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations to guide operational decisions, strategic planning, and forecasting for future periods. To support this oversight, operating expenses are closely tracked to compare budget against actual results. As a single reporting segment, the significant operating expense categories regularly provided to the CODM include research and development, and general and administrative expenses. These expense categories are reported as separate line items in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. All segment assets are reflected as ‘total assets’ in the consolidated balance sheet. All equipment, leasehold improvements, and fixed assets are located in the United States, and agreements with partners are denominated in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted. Leases At lease inception, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease, and if so, assesses the lease for classification as either an operating or finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: (i) the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, (ii) the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining useful life of the asset, (iv) the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset, or (v) the leased asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any of these criteria. Leases with a term greater than one year are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and current and non-current lease liabilities, as applicable. Leases with a term of one year or less are expensed as rent in the period incurred. The Company elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for all underlying assets. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is determined by using the rate of interest that the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis an amount equal to the lease payments for a similar term and in a similar economic environment. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the options. For leases that existed prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”), the Company used the remaining lease term to determine the appropriate incremental borrowing rate. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard is intended to require more detailed disclosures about specified categories of expenses (including employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization) included in certain expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
