Overview

We are a clinical stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the reformulation of established therapeutics. Our proprietary extended-release drug-delivery system is designed to provide an extended period of post-surgical pain relief without the need for repeated dose administration while reducing the potential need for the use of opiates.

Our strategy is to incorporate generic drugs with our proprietary extended-release drug-delivery system in order to create extended-release drug products and to take advantage of the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway created by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). The 505(b)(2) new drug application, or NDA, process, provides for FDA approval of a new drug based in part on data that was developed by others, including published literature references and data previously reviewed by the FDA in its approval of a separate application. PRF-110, our first product candidate, is based on the local anesthetic ropivacaine, targeting the post-operative pain relief market. PRF-110 is an oil-based, viscous, clear solution that is deposited directly into the surgical wound bed prior to closure to provide localized and extended post-operative analgesia.

During 2022 we were preparing for the launch of our first Phase 3 clinical trial of PRF-110, for pain treatment of patients undergoing bunionectomy. In March 2023, we initiated our first Phase 3 clinical trial of PRF-110 in the U.S.

In June 2023, in connection with the second part of our first Phase 3 clinical trial of PRF-110 in patients undergoing bunionectomy surgery, we announced that our supplier of the API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) has received a deficiency notice from the FDA related to its Drug Master File (“DMF”). The DMF is the file on record with FDA representing the manufacturing process and facility for the production of the API. As a result, the second part of our first Phase 3 trial is expected to commence once the required information has been provided by the supplier to the FDA and the deficiency notice has been resolved. None of the issues raised relate to the Company’s PRF-110 product.

After the successful completion of our first Phase 3 clinical trial of patients undergoing bunionectomy, we plan to initiate a second trial for pain treatment of hernia repair operations.

Since our inception in November 2007, we have devoted substantially all our efforts to organizing and planning our business, building our management and technical team, developing our proprietary drug delivery system and PRF-110, and raising capital.

We have never generated any revenue and have funded our business primarily through the sale of our Ordinary Shares and issuance of convertible loans.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing losses for the next several years. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the timing of our planned clinical trials and expenditures on our other research and development and commercial development activities. We expect our expenses will increase substantially over time as we:

•

continue the ongoing and planned preclinical and clinical development of our drug candidates;

•

build a portfolio of drug candidates through the acquisition or in-license of drugs, drug candidates or technologies;

•

initiate preclinical studies and clinical trials for any additional drug candidates that we may pursue in the future;

•

seek marketing approvals for our current and future drug candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

•

establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any drug candidate for which we may obtain marketing approval;

•

develop, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

•

implement operational, financial and management systems; and

•

attract, hire and retain additional administrative, clinical, regulatory and scientific personnel.

Financial Operations Overview

Revenue

We have not generated any revenue and do not expect to generate any revenue unless or until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize one or more of our current or future drug candidates. In the future, we may also seek to generate revenue from a combination of research and development payments, license fees and other upfront or milestone payments.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for our research activities, which include, among other things:

•

employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation expense;

•

fees paid to consultants for services directly related to our drug development and regulatory effort;

•

expenses incurred under contract manufacturing organizations, as well as contract manufacturing organizations and consultants that conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials;

•

costs associated with development activities;

•

costs associated with technology and intellectual property licenses; and

•

milestone payments and other costs under licensing agreements.

Costs incurred in connection with research and development activities are expensed as incurred. Costs for certain development activities, such as clinical trials, are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using data such as patient enrollment, clinical site activations or other information provided to us by our vendors.

Research and development activities are and will continue to be central to our business model. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we advance our current and future drug candidates through preclinical studies and clinical trials. The process of conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approval is costly and time-consuming. It is difficult to determine with certainty the duration and costs of any preclinical study or clinical trial that we may conduct. The duration, costs and timing of clinical trial programs and development of our current and future drug candidates will depend on a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

number of clinical trials required for approval and any requirement for extension trials;

•

per patient trial costs;

•

number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;

•

number of sites included in the clinical trials;

•

countries in which the clinical trial is conducted;

•

length of time required to enroll eligible patients;

•

potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies; and

•

efficacy and safety profile of the drug candidate.

In addition, the probability of success for any of our current or future drug candidates will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capability and commercial viability. We will determine which programs to pursue and how much to fund each program in response to the scientific and clinical success of each drug candidate, as well as an assessment of each drug candidate’s commercial potential.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation. Other general and administrative expenses include directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premiums, costs associated with being a publicly traded company, fees associated with investor relations, professional fees for consultants, tax and legal services and facility-related costs.

We expect that general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as we expand our operating activities and incur additional costs. In addition, if our current or future drug candidates are approved for sale, we expect that we would incur expenses associated with building our commercial and distribution infrastructure.

Financial Income, Net

Financial income, net, primarily consists from interest received from deposits, bank management fees and commissions and exchange rate differences expenses.

Results of Operations

The table below provides our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023			2022
	(US$ thousands)
Statements of comprehensive loss data:
Research and development		(2,700	)		(1,423	)
General and administrative		(1,968	)		(2,094	)
Total operating loss		(4,668	)		(3,517	)
Financial income, net		179			-
Net loss		(4,489	)		(3,517	)

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.3 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payments for clinical trials costs and manufacturing costs.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. An increase in headcount related were offset with a decrease in insurance costs and certain professional services costs.

Financial income, net. Financial income, net was negligible $179,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to negligible financial income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2022, The increase was primarily due to the receipt of interest from deposits.

Net loss. As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a net loss of $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in payments for clinical trials costs and manufacturing costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Substantial Doubt About Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Since our inception, we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development, clinical trials, and capital raising activities. We are still in our development and clinical trial stage and have not yet generated revenues. Developing drugs, conducting clinical trials and commercializing products is expensive and we will need to raise substantial additional funds to achieve our strategic objectives.

We expect to continue incurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations until our product, PRF-110, reaches commercial profitability. As a result of these expected losses and negative cash flows from operations, along with our current cash position, and the resources required to re-initiate the second part of our Phase 3 clinical trial of PRF-110, which we expect will happen in the third quarter of 2023, we believe we only have sufficient resources to fund operations through the end of the third quarter of 2024, and we will be required to raise additional capital in the future to complete our clinical trial. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We expect to continue incurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations until our product, PRF-110, reaches commercial profitability. As a result of these expected losses and negative cash flows from operations, along with our current cash position, we believe we only have sufficient resources to fund operations through the end of the third quarter of 2024, and we will be required to raise additional capital in the future to complete our clinical trials. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 we incurred losses of $4.5 million, and $3.5 million, respectively, and had negative operating cash outflows of $4.0 million, and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 respectively.

To date, we have funded our operations primarily through proceeds from our initial public offering and private placements. As of June 30, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $37.0 million, cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of approximately $6.2 million and a positive working capital of approximately $7.2 million.

Management's plans include continued commercialization of our products and raising capital through the sale of additional equity securities, debt or capital inflows from strategic partnerships. There are no assurances, however, that we will successfully obtain the level of financing needed for our operations. If we are unsuccessful in commercializing our products or raising capital, we may need to reduce activities, curtail or cease operations.

These factors raise substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue to operate as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Developing drugs, conducting clinical trials and commercializing products is expensive and we will need to raise substantial additional funds to achieve our strategic objectives. We expect to continue incurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations until our product, PRF-110, reaches commercial profitability. As a result of the initiation of our Phase III clinical trial in March 2023, along with our current cash position, we believe we will not have sufficient resources to fund operations until the end of our Phase 3 study. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our estimate as to how long we expect our funds to support our operations is based on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, changing circumstances, some of which may be beyond our control, could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of PRF-110;

•

the scope, progress, results and costs of our current and future clinical trials of PRF-110 for our current targeted uses;

•

the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies, including entering into or maintaining licensing or collaboration arrangements for PRF-110 on favorable terms, although we currently have no commitments or agreements to complete any such transactions;

•

the costs and timing of future commercialization activities, including drug sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval, to the extent that such sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution are not the responsibility of any collaborator that we may have at such time;

•

the amount of revenue, if any, received from commercial sales of PRF-110, should it receive marketing approval;

•

the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining, defending and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;

•

our ability to establish strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of any such agreements, including the timing and amount of any future milestone, royalty or other payments due under any such agreement;

•

our headcount growth and associated costs as we expand our business operations and our research and development activities;

•

the costs of operating as a public company;

•

maintaining minimum shareholders’ equity requirements under the Nasdaq rules; and

•

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which may exacerbate the magnitude of the factors discussed above.

We expect our expenses to increase in connection with our planned operations. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and/or licensing arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest may be diluted, and the terms of these securities could include liquidation or other preferences and anti-dilution protections that could adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. In addition, debt financing, if available, would result in fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that limit our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, creating liens, redeeming shares or declaring dividends, that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. In addition, securing financing could require a substantial amount of time and attention from our management and may divert a disproportionate amount of their attention away from day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our management’s ability to oversee the development of our product candidates.

If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technology, future revenue streams or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce and/or eliminate our product candidate development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

On July 14, 2023, we sold to a certain institutional investor an aggregate of 117,930 Ordinary Shares in a registered direct offering at a purchase price of $9.00 per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 183,300 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $8.999, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $2.7 million. In addition, we issued to the investor unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 301,230 Ordinary Shares in a concurrent private placement.

On July 18, 2023, we sold to a certain institutional investor an aggregate of 145,000 Ordinary Shares in a registered direct offering at a purchase price of $9.00 per share, and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 21,666 Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $8.999, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $1.5 million. In addition, we issued to the investor unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 166,666 Ordinary Shares in a concurrent private placement.

Trend Information.

We are a development stage company and it is not possible for us to predict with any degree of accuracy the outcome of our research, development or commercialization efforts. As such, it is not possible for us to predict with any degree of accuracy any significant trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our net sales or revenues, income from continuing operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause financial information to not necessarily be indicative of future operating results or financial condition. However, to the extent possible, certain trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments and events are identified in the preceding subsections.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Judgments and Estimates

Our statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Some of the accounting methods and policies used in preparing our financial statements under GAAP are based on complex and subjective assessments by our management or on estimates based on past experience and assumptions deemed realistic and reasonable based on the circumstances concerned. The actual value of our assets, liabilities and shareholders’ equity and of our accumulated deficit could differ from the value derived from these estimates if conditions change and these changes had an impact on the assumptions adopted. See Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements and the section titled “Critical Accounting Estimates” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Reverse Split

On June 8, 2023, we effected a reverse share split of our Ordinary Shares at the ratio of 1-for-10, such that each ten (10) Ordinary Shares, par value NIS 0.03 per share, were consolidated into one (1) Ordinary Share, par value NIS 0.30. July 3, 2023 was the first date when our Ordinary Shares began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC after implementation of the reverse split.
