 Common Stock, expected risk-free interest rate, and the option’s expected life. The Company also evaluates the impact of modifications made to the original terms of equity awards when they occur. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based upon the share price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The fair value of equity awards that are expected to vest is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized net of actual forfeitures when they occur, as an increase to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and in research and development or, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based upon the underlying employee’s role within the Company. Income taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company follows tax accounting requirements for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure in the financial statements of any uncertain tax positions that have been taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. No liability related to uncertain tax positions is recorded in the financial statements. It is the Company’s policy to include penalties and interest expense related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense, as necessary. The Company has not recorded any interest or penalties associated with income tax since inception. Tax years subsequent to 2020 are subject to examination by federal and state authorities. Recent Accounting Pronouncements The Company has concluded that there are no recent accounting pronouncements expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company’s primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, particularly because of the Company’s investments, including cash equivalents, which may be in the form of a money market fund. In the future, the Company may contract with vendors invoicing in a foreign denominated currency. As a result, the Company may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency rates in connection with certain of these agreements. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar will be recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. As
