EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
Kronos Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 4, 2022 (the “Form 10-Q”), solely for the purpose of filing revised certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 herewith, to correct an inadvertent omission of certain language regarding internal control over financial reporting required to be included in such certifications by Item 601(b)(31)(i) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with the filing of the corrected Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, the Company is restating Item 4 (Controls and Procedures) of Part I, which does not contain any change to the disclosure included under that Item in the Form 10-Q. Other than the restatement of Item 4 of Part I as described in the preceding sentence, in accordance with interpretation 246.13 in the Regulation S-K section of the SEC’s “Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations,” this Amendment No. 1 contains only the cover page, explanatory note, signature page and the revised certifications (containing only paragraphs 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the text otherwise prescribed by Item 601(b)(31)(i) of Regulation S-K). Because no financial statements are included with this Amendment No. 1, paragraph 3 of each of the certifications has been omitted. As required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4 to this Amendment No. 1.
 
This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the original filing date of the Form 10-Q or modify or update in any way the financial statements or any other items or disclosures made in the Form 10-Q, other than the filing of the corrected certifications described above. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Form 10-Q.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. In addition, the design of any system of controls also is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.


Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. An evaluation was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. That evaluation did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
