−Removed: We were an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act.
−Removed: Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
−Removed: We elected to use this extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (1) were no longer an emerging growth company or (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act.
−Removed: As a result, our financial statements while we were an emerging growth company may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
−Removed: Because the market value of the Company’s common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700 million as of June 30, 2020, the Company was deemed a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act ceased to be an emerging growth company as of December 31, 2020.

−Removed: Quantitative and Qualitati ve Disclosures About Market Risk.
−Removed: We are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business, including fluctuations in interest rates.
−Removed: Such fluctuations to date have not been significant.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2020, we had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $354.9 million, which carry a degree of interest rate risk.
−Removed: A hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations due to the short-term nature of our investment portfolio.
−Removed: We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
−Removed: Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs.
−Removed: Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.
−Removed: Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
−Removed: Please refer to the Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements in this Form 10-K which is incorporated herein by reference.
