2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2021, the consolidated results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, its statements of shareholders’ equity (deficit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2021 (the “Annual Report”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2020 presented for comparative purposes was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Annual Report. Since the date of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in the Annual Report, there have been no changes to its significant accounting policies, except for a new standard effective January 1, 2021 as described below.

 

Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Repare Therapeutics USA Inc. (“Repare USA”), which was incorporated under the laws of Delaware on June 1, 2017. The financial statements of Repare USA are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group transactions, balances, income, and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and as a result of this election, its consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Because the market value of its common shares held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of June 30, 2021, the Company will be deemed a large accelerated filer under the Exchange Act and will lose its status as an “emerging growth company” as of December 31, 2021. The Company will no longer be able to avail itself of such extended transition period for compliance with new or revised accounting standards as of December 31, 2021.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU No. 2019-12”). ASU No. 2019-12 eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new guidance also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. For public entities, ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within. For all other entities, this pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. Adoption of the standard requires certain changes to be made prospectively, with some changes to be made retrospectively. The adoption of ASU No. 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, estimates related to revenue recognition, accrued research and development expenses, share-based compensation, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and income taxes. Estimates are periodically reviewed in light of changes in circumstances, facts and experience. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known.

COVID-19 Pandemic

With the global spread of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including variants of COVID-19, the Company established a cross-functional task force and has implemented business continuity plans designed to address and mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its employees and its business, including its preclinical studies and its ongoing and planned clinical trials. The Company has taken measures to secure its research and development activities, while work in its laboratories and facilities has been re-organized to reduce risk of COVID-19 transmission. While the Company is experiencing limited financial impacts at this time, given the global economic slowdown, the overall disruption of global healthcare systems and the other risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. The Company cannot predict the ultimate impact, if any, of COVID-19 related to both known and unknown risks, including future quarantines, closures and other restrictions resulting from the outbreak. The Company continues to closely monitor the COVID-19 pandemic as it evolves its business continuity plans, clinical development plans and response strategy. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the Company to update its estimates, assumptions and judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and any such differences may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
