CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Annual Report”) contains “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Various statements in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the PSLRA and other U.S. federal securities laws. In addition, historic results of scientific research and clinical and preclinical trials do not guarantee that the conclusions of future research or trials would not be different, and historic results referred to in this Annual Report may be interpreted differently in light of additional research and clinical and preclinical trial results. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our management’s current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based on information currently available to our management. Words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplates,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “would,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions or words, identify forward-looking statements. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements. These factors include those described in “Item 1A—Risk Factors” of this Annual Report. Meaningful factors which could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the following:
| • | Clinical development involves a lengthy and expensive process with uncertain outcomes. We may incur additional costs and experience delays in developing and commercializing or be unable to develop or commercialize our current and future product candidates; |
| • | The regulatory approval processes of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and comparable foreign authorities are lengthy, time-consuming and inherently unpredictable, and if we are ultimately unable to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, our business will be materially harmed; |
| • | Preclinical development is uncertain. Our preclinical programs may experience delays or may never advance to clinical trials, which would adversely affect our ability to obtain regulatory approvals or commercialize these programs on a timely basis or at all; |
| • | Positive results from preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials may not be predictive of future results. Initial positive results in any of our clinical trials may not be indicative of results obtained when the trial is completed or in later stage trials; |
| • | The scope, progress and costs of developing our product candidates such as EB613 for osteoporosis and EB612 for hypoparathyroidism or other oral peptides for the treatment of obesity, metabolic disorders and gastrointestinal rare diseases may alter over time based on various factors such as regulatory requirements, collaboration agreements, the competitive environment and new data from pre-clinical and clinical studies; |
| • | The accuracy of our estimates regarding expenses, capital requirements, the sufficiency of our cash resources and the need for additional financing; |
| • | Our ability to continue as a going concern absent access to sources of liquidity; |
| • | Our ability to raise additional funds or consummate strategic partnerships to offset additional required capital to pursue our business objectives, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. A failure to obtain this additional capital when needed, or failure to consummate strategic partnerships, could delay, limit or reduce our product development, and other operations; |
| • | Even if a current or future product candidate receives marketing approval, it may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients, third-party payors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success; |
| • | The successful commercialization of our product candidates, if approved, will depend in part on the extent to which governmental authorities and third-party payors establish adequate coverage and reimbursement levels and pricing policies; |
| • | Failure to obtain or maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, could limit our ability to market those products and decrease our ability to generate revenue; |
| • | If we are unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for our product candidates, or if the scope of the patent protection obtained is not sufficiently broad or robust, our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates may be adversely affected; |
| • | Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain; |
| • | Our reliance on third parties to conduct our clinical trials and on third-party suppliers to supply or produce our product candidates; |
| • | Our interpretation of FDA feedback and guidance and how such guidance may impact our clinical development plan; |
| • | Our ability to use and expand our oral peptide platform (“N-Tab®”) to additional product candidates; |
| • | Our operation as a development stage company with limited operating history and a history of operating losses and our ability to fund our operations going forward; |
| • | Our competitive position with respect to other products on the market or in development for the treatment of osteoporosis, hypoparathyroidism, short bowel syndrome and other rare gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, metabolic conditions and other disease categories we pursue; |
| • | Our ability to establish and maintain development and commercialization collaborations; |
| • | Our ability to manufacture and supply enough material to support our clinical trials and any potential future commercial requirements; |
| • | The size of any market we may target and the adoption of our product candidates, if approved, by physicians and patients; |
| • | Our ability to obtain, maintain and protect our intellectual property and operate our business without infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating any intellectual property rights of others; |
| • | Our ability to retain key personnel and recruit additional qualified personnel; |
| • | Our ability to comply with laws and regulations that currently apply or become applicable to our business; |
| • | Our ability to manage growth; and |
| • | The Israel-Hamas conflict, that has been ongoing since October 2023, including involvement from Hezbollah, Iran and its proxies in the Middle East, such as the Houthis in Yemen and militias in Iraq and Syria, and their impact on our operations and workforce, remains unknown. |
All forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We caution investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements we make or that are made on our behalf. Except as required by applicable law, we are under no duty, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in any annual, quarterly or current reports that we may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
We encourage you to read the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and our consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report. We also encourage you to read Item 1A of this Annual Report, entitled “Risk Factors,” and Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Liquidity and Capital Resources” of this Annual Report for additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. There can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the outcomes stated in such forward-looking statements and estimates will be achieved.
Our business is subject to a number of risks, including risks that may prevent us from achieving our business objectives or may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. These risks are discussed more fully later in this Item 1A, and include, but are not limited to, the following:
| • | We have incurred significant losses since our inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial losses for the next several years; |
| • | All of our product candidates, including EB613, EB612, EB618 (OXM) and Oral Long Acting GLP-2 are in in preclinical or clinical phases of development, and we have not yet successfully completed the development of any product candidate; |
| • | If serious adverse, undesirable or unacceptable side effects are identified during the development of our product candidates, marketing approval may be delayed or we may need to abandon our development of such product candidates, and if such side effects are identified following regulatory approval, any approved product label may be limited or we may be subject to other significant negative consequences; |
| • | The commencement and completion of clinical trials can be delayed or prevented for a number of reasons; |
| • | The results of previous clinical trials may not be predictive of future results, our progress in trials for one product candidate may not be indicative of progress in trials for other product candidates, and our trials may not be designed so as to support regulatory approval; |
| • | Even if regulatory approvals are obtained for our product candidates, we will be subject to ongoing government regulation. If we fail to comply with applicable current and future laws and government regulations, it could delay or prevent the promotion, marketing or sale of our products; |
| • | Healthcare legislative changes may harm our business and future prospects; |
| • | We are subject to manufacturing risks that could substantially increase our costs and limit supply of our products; |
| • | We are highly dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital or enter into agreements with collaborators to develop, commercialize and market our products; |
| • | We may fail to establish, maintain, defend and enforce intellectual property rights with respect to our technology; |
| • | The price of our Ordinary Shares may be volatile, and holders of our Ordinary Shares could lose all or part of their investment; |
| • | The Company regularly evaluates market conditions, its liquidity profile and financing alternatives, including out-licensing arrangements for its products, to enhance its capital structure. The Company may seek to raise capital through debt or equity financings to or through other strategic initiatives. Management has performed an analysis of our ability to continue as a going concern and our current cash resources should be sufficient to fund our operating expenses through the middle of the third quarter of 2026; however, as a result of recurring losses, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Annual Report; |
| • | Your rights and responsibilities as our shareholder will be governed by Israeli law, which may differ in some respects from the rights and responsibilities of shareholders of U.S. corporations; and |
| • | Security, political and economic instability in the Middle East may harm our business, including the Iran War, the Israel-Hamas War and its proxies and its impact on our operations and workforce. |
