ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk
Our cash and cash equivalents include all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Our cash equivalents are in a money market account. Because of
the short-term maturities of our cash and cash equivalents, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have a significant
impact on the realized value of our investments. We place our cash and cash equivalents on deposit with financial institutions in the
United States. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits coverage for all depository accounts. Our cash and cash equivalents at
times may exceed covered limits.
Foreign currency exchange risk
We currently have limited, but may in the future
have increased, clinical and commercial manufacturing agreements which are denominated in Euros or other foreign currencies. As a result,
our financial results could be affected by factors such as a change in the foreign currency exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and
the Euro or other applicable currencies, or by weak economic conditions in Europe or elsewhere in the world. We are not currently engaged
in any foreign currency hedging activities.
Market indexed security risk
We have issued warrants to various holders underlying
shares of our common stock. These warrants are re-measured to their fair value at each reporting period with changes in their fair value
recorded as derivative gain (loss) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. We use the Black-Scholes model for valuation
of the warrants.
