 expend significant resources to mitigate the impact of such an event. Our business may be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and financial markets and geopolitical tensions and events. Various macroeconomic factors could adversely affect our business, our results of operations and financial condition, including a U.S. government shutdown, delay or failure of the U.S. government to raise the federal debt ceiling, an increased rate of inflation, rising interest rates, adverse developments affecting financial institutions or the financial services industry, recessionary concerns and overall unfavorable economic conditions and uncertainties, including those resulting from geopolitical events, including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and strained relations between the U.S. and a number of foreign countries; international economic sanctions, including those imposed on Russia; new or increased tariffs and other barriers to trade; climate change concerns; or public health emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic. U.S. government actions to reduce the federal deficit, or its delay or failure to raise the federal debt ceiling, may result in reduced funding for government-funded or subsidized health programs or require the federal government to stop or delay making payments on its obligations under such programs, which could impact sales of our products covered under such programs, if any, and negatively affect our operating results. Interest rates and the ability to access credit markets could adversely affect the ability of patients, payors and distributors to purchase, pay for and effectively distribute our products, if and when commercially available. Similarly, unfavorable or uncertain macroeconomic factors could affect the ability of our current or potential future collaborators, third-party service providers or suppliers, including sole source or single source manufacturers or suppliers, licensors or licensees to remain in business, or otherwise manufacture or supply our clinical trial material and products or commercialize our products, if and when approved. Failure by any of them to remain in business or allocate adequate resources to our products and product candidates could have a material adverse effect on our efforts to develop and obtain regulatory approvals for our product candidates and generate revenue from any approved products. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs and demands on management time to comply with laws and regulations affecting public companies. We incur and expect to continue to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a public reporting company. We expect that these expenses will increase if and when we become an “accelerated filer,” as defined in rules adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Generally, we will become an accelerated filer if our public float as of the last business day of June is $75 million or more and
