ITEM
7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We
are not currently exposed to significant market risk related to changes in interest rates. As of December 31, 2021, our cash equivalents
consisted primarily of short-term money market funds. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected
by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. Due to the short-term nature of the cash equivalents in our portfolio and the
low risk profile of our cash equivalents, an immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market
value of our financial position or results of operations.
We
are not currently exposed to significant market risk related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our operations may be subject
to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the future.
Inflation
generally affects us by increasing our cost of labor and clinical trial costs. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect
on our business, financial condition, or results of operations during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
