IncomeTaxExaminationDescription
The Company currently files income tax returns in the United States and Canada, the jurisdictions in which the Company believes that it is subject to tax. Further, while the statute of limitations in each jurisdiction where an income tax return has been filed generally limits the examination period, as a result of loss carry-forwards, the limitation period for examination generally does not expire until several years after the loss carry-forwards are utilized. Other than routine audits by tax authorities for tax credits and tax refunds that the Company has claimed, the Company is not aware of any other material income tax examination currently in progress by any taxing jurisdiction.

Significant areas requiring management estimates include valuation of stock options and restricted stock units, amortization and depreciation, determination of the fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the acquisition of net assets of Former Neoleukin, accrual of expenses, <div style="letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;;display:inline;">determination of research and development costs,&#160;</div>valuation allowance for deferred income taxes, and contingencies.

The financial terms of these contracts are subject to negotiations which vary contract to contract and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided to the Company under such contracts. The Company reflects the appropriate clinical trial expenses in the consolidated financial statements by matching those expenses with the period in which services and efforts are expended. The Company accounts for these expenses according to the progress of the trial as measured by patient progression and the timing of various aspects of the trial. </div></div><div style="font-family: times new roman; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><div style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot;; font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0px; top: 0px;;display:inline;">During the course of a clinical trial, the Company adjusts the rate of clinical trial expense recognition if actual results differ from estimates. The Company prepares estimates of accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date in the consolidated financial statements based on facts and circumstances known at that time. Although the Company does not expect the estimates to be materially different from amounts actually incurred, the Company&#8217;s understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in the Company reporting amounts that are too high or too low for any particular period. The Company&#8217;s clinical trial accruals are dependent upon the timely and accurate reporting of contract research organizations and other third-party vendors. </div></div> <table border="0" style="width:100%; table-layout:fixed;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td></td></tr></table>

Cash and cash equivalents are invested in accordance with the Company&#8217;s investment policy. The primary objective for the Company&#8217;s investment portfolio is the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity and includes guidelines on the quality of financial instruments and defines allowable investments that the Company believes minimizes the exposure to concentration of credit risk. </div></div></div> <table border="0" style="width:100%; table-layout:fixed;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td></td></tr></table>
