Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Interest rate risk
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates on our investment portfolio of cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents consisted of money market funds and bank deposits. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in interest rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point decrease in interest rates as of December 31, 2025 would have an insignificant effect on net loss in the ensuing year.
Foreign currency exchange risk
Our employees and our operations are primarily located in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada and our expenses are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars, Great British pounds and Canadian dollars. We also have entered into a limited number of contracts with vendors for research and development services that have underlying payment obligations denominated in foreign currencies. We are subject to foreign currency transaction gains or losses on our contracts denominated in foreign currencies. To date, foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material to our financial statements, and we do not have a formal hedging program with respect to foreign currency. A 10% increase or decrease in current exchange rates would not have had a material effect on our financial results during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.
