Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
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.
