RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL - (November 24, 2021) – XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: XTLB, TASE: XTLB.TA) (“XTL” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical Company, today announced financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

The Company is expanding its IP portfolio surrounding hCDR1 and has decided, at this time, to explore cooperation with a strategic partner in order to execute its clinical trials. In parallel, the Company will look to expand and identify additional assets to add to XTL’s portfolio.

 

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus (hereafter, “Coronavirus”) in the world in the first half of 2020 and its spread, causes great uncertainty in the world capital markets and major macroeconomic implications, which are characterized by sharp declines and volatility in many securities’ prices.

 

As of the date of issuance of the financial reporting, there was no material effect of the Coronavirus on the operations and financial results of the Company. Although, due to the ongoing uncertainty around the scope and duration of the Coronavirus, as of the financial statement publication date, there is uncertainty regarding its impact on the economy and the market state at all, and those impacts on the value of the securities held by the Company.

 

The Company is monitoring and will continue to monitor the developments around the world in connection with the spread of the Coronavirus, and will examine the implications for its activities.

 

Financial Overview for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

 

XTL reported approximately $3.01 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and approximately $3.46 million in other current assets (mainly marketable securities). The decrease of $0.62 million since December 31, 2020, in cash and cash equivalents derives from operating expenses.

 

Research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $24 thousand compared to $26 thousand for the corresponding period in 2020. Research and development expenses are comprised mainly of expenses related to maintenance of our intangible assets. 

 

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $721 thousand compared to $665 thousand for the corresponding period in 2020. The increase of $57 thousand derives mainly from expenses related to the restatement.

 

Finance expenses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were $915 thousand compared to $1,187 thousand for the corresponding period in 2020. The difference is primarily from revaluation of marketable securities and warrants to purchase ADS’s.

 

XTL reported an operating loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $745 thousand compared to $691 thousand for the corresponding period in 2020. The Company reported a total loss for the period ended September 30, 2021 of approximately $1,660 thousand or $0.003 per share, compared to $1,878 thousand or $0.004 per share in the corresponding period in 2020. The change is driven primarily by the revaluation of marketable securities and warrants as described above.

Restatement of previously issued consolidated financial statements for Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

 

In March 2018 the Company’s warrants were recorded as share premium as a result of the cancellation of the cashless exercise mechanism.

 

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company concluded that the cashless exercise mechanism was not in fact cancelled when the registration statement originally declared effective in March 2018 became stale, as a result of which the right to exercise the warrants on a cashless basis was again possible, resulting in the situation that the warrants should have been recorded as non-current liabilities, and not as equity instruments.

 

The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 were restated and filed on May 13, 2021 

 

The impacts of the warrant change of classification for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
