 and the need to raise additional capital to finance future operations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our development activities and other operations into 2029.

To finance our operations beyond that point we will need to raise additional capital, which cannot be assured.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses consist of: (i) research and development expenses, and (ii) general and administrative expenses.

Research and Development 

Research and development expenses account for a significant portion of our total operating expenses. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of direct and indirect costs incurred in connection with the development of our research platform, product candidates, discovery efforts and preclinical and clinical activities related to our program pipeline.

Our direct costs include:

•laboratory expenses related to the execution of discovery programs, preclinical studies and clinical trials; and

•costs related to production of clinical and preclinical materials, including fees paid to contract manufacturers.

Our indirect costs include:

•personnel-related expenses, consisting of employee salaries, bonuses, benefits and stock-based compensation expense, and recruiting costs for personnel engaged in research and development activities;

•contractor and consulting fees related to the preparation and ongoing support of clinical trials; and

•facility and equipment related expenses, consisting of indirect and allocated expenses for rent, depreciation, maintenance of facilities, insurance, and other supplies.

We expense research and development costs in the periods in which they are incurred.

We do not allocate employee costs, contractor/consultant fees, costs associated with our platform development and discovery efforts, payments made under third-party licensing agreements, costs of laboratory supplies and consumable materials that are not directly attributable to any single program, and facilities expenses, including rent, depreciation and other indirect costs, to specific product development programs because these costs are deployed across multiple programs and our platform technology and, as such, are
