Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
ITEM 3:
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary objectives of our investment activities are to ensure liquidity and to preserve principal, while at the same
time maximizing the income we receive from our cash and marketable securities without significantly increasing risk. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash equivalents of $58.9 million that were held in a non-interest-bearing money operating account and an
institutional U.S. Treasury money market fund. 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 maturities of our cash equivalents and the
low risk profile of our investments, we do not believe that an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash equivalents. To minimize the risk in the future, we intend to maintain
our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in institutional market funds that are comprised of U.S. Treasury and Treasury backed repurchase agreements.
