Money market funds are included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

There were no transfers between the Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 categories during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The carrying amounts reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets for prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their fair values, due to their short-term nature.
 

SAFE Liabilities

From October through December 2023, Legacy Tectonic entered into multiple SAFE agreements with certain existing investors and received proceeds of $34.1 million. Prior to redemption, the SAFE liabilities were valued using a probability weighted scenario analysis and discount rates derived by application of the build-up method to reflect the cost of equity. The valuation model required a variety of inputs, including the probability of occurrence of events that would trigger conversion or redemption of the SAFEs, the expected timing of such events, and a discount rate.

Upon the closing of the Merger, the principal balance of the SAFE instruments was automatically redeemed for 2,752,216 shares of Legacy Tectonic common stock at the conversion price of $12.40 per share immediately prior to the Merger closing. As such the valuation inputs utilized to adjust the SAFE liability to fair value upon the closing of the Merger was $12.40. At closing, shares of Legacy Tectonic common stock issued pursuant to the redemption of Legacy Tectonic SAFEs were converted into 1,470,839 shares of AVROBIO common stock based on the Exchange Ratio, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. No level 3 instruments remain outstanding after the Merger.

The following table presents activity for the SAFE liabilities that were measured at fair value using significant unobservable Level 3 inputs during the year ended December 31, 2024:

About Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value disclosures classify all assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy: Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (observable inputs like yield curves), and Level 3 (unobservable inputs requiring management estimates). The proportion of Level 3 assets directly reflects how much of the balance sheet depends on internal models rather than market evidence.

Key signals: a growing Level 3 balance relative to total fair-value assets increases valuation uncertainty and earnings volatility risk. Watch for transfers between levels — assets moving from Level 2 to Level 3 often signal deteriorating market liquidity. Unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 positions flow through earnings or other comprehensive income, so large swings deserve scrutiny. For financial institutions, examine the sensitivity disclosures that show how Level 3 valuations change under alternative assumptions. Compare the fair value of debt against its carrying amount to gauge hidden leverage.
