Item 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to financial market risk, including foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk. Concentration of Revenue and Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. Cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash, such as government securities with original maturities of less than 90 days at the date of purchase. Deposits of cash held outside the United States totaled approximately $3.6 million and $3.4 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We grant credit to customers in the ordinary course of business. Credit evaluations are performed on an ongoing basis to reduce credit risk, and no collateral is required from our customers. An allowance for credit loss is provided for those accounts receivable considered to be uncollectible based upon historical experience and credit evaluation. As of December 31, 2022, no customer individually accounted for more than 10% of our gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, one company represented 18% of our gross accounts receivable. Due to the nature of our quarterly revenue streams derived from royalty revenue, it is not unusual for our accounts receivable balances to include a few customers with large balances. There were no material losses recorded due to customers’ non-payment for the years ended December 31, 2022, or 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2022, only one company accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue at 13%. For the year ended December 31, 2021, no customers individually accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk As we expand internationally our results of operations and cash flows will become increasingly subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, approximately 38% and 36%, respectively, of our total revenue was generated from customers located outside of North America. Our expenses are generally denominated in the currencies in which our operations are located, which is primarily in the United States, with a portion of expenses incurred in Canada, Europe, Japan and China. Our results of operations and cash flows are, therefore, subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could harm our business in the future. The effect of a 10% adverse change in exchange rates on foreign denominated cash, receivables and payables as of December 31, 2022 would not have been material. The effect of a 10% adverse change in exchange rates on foreign denominated cash, receivables and payables as of December 31, 2021 would not have been material. To date, we have not entered into any material foreign currency hedging contracts although we may do so in the future. Interest Rate Risk We had cash and cash equivalents of $338.7 million as of December 31, 2022. These amounts were held primarily in cash on deposit with banks. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe that we do not have any material exposure to changes in the fair value of our investment portfolio as a result of changes in interest rates. Declines in interest rates, however, will reduce future investment income. If overall interest rates had decreased by 10% during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, our interest income would not have been materially affected. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. Item 8.
