NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – GENERAL
Vascular Biogenics Ltd. (“VBL” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of first-in-class treatments for difficult-to-treat cancer and immune or inflammatory indications. VBL’s lead candidates are ofranergene obadenovec (“VB-111”) which is being evaluated in a global Phase 3 clinical trial in platinum resistant ovarian cancer (the “ OVAL Study”), and VB-601, a monoclonal antibody targeting monocytes, which is being advanced towards an Investigational New Drug application for inflammatory applications. In 2017, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with NanoCarrier Co., Ltd. (the “NanoCarrier License”) for the development, commercialization, and supply of VB-111 in Japan for all indications.
Since inception, VBL has incurred significant losses, and it expects to continue to incur significant expenses and losses for at least the next several years. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $253.0 million. VBL’s losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year, depending on the timing of its clinical trials, the receipt of payments under any future collaboration agreements it may enter into, and its expenditures on other research and development activities.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits and restricted bank deposits of $50.8 million. Based on its current cash resources, VBL believes it will be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2023. VBL may seek to raise more capital to pursue additional activities. VBL may seek these funds through a combination of private and public equity offerings, government grants, strategic collaborations and licensing arrangements. Additional financing may not be available when VBL needs it or may not be available on terms that are favorable to VBL.
In September 2021, the Company established VBL Inc., a U.S. based subsidiary of VBL, and plans to begin U.S. operations from this entity beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of VBL have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented have been included. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed by VBL with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 25, 2021. The comparative balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies and calculation methods applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the year then ended.
Net Loss Per Share
VBL complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. VBL applies the two-class method in calculating loss per share.
Accretion associated with the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is excluded from loss per ordinary share.
Potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from VBL’s computation of net loss per share as such securities would have been anti-dilutive. There were 17,202,734 ordinary shares underlying outstanding options and warrants at September 30, 2021, and 22,021,422 ordinary shares underlying outstanding options and warrants at September 30, 2020.
NOTE 4 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Warrant Exercises
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an aggregate of 4,893,838 warrants to purchase ordinary shares were exercised for cash. Accordingly, VBL issued 4,893,838 shares and received proceeds of $7.0 million.
Shares and pre-funded warrants offering
On April 9, 2021, the Company entered into a purchase agreement for the sale of 5,150,265 of its ordinary shares to certain investors at a price of $1.90 per ordinary share and pre-funded warrants to purchase 8,050,000 ordinary shares at price of $1.89 per pre-funded warrant with an exercise price of each pre-funded warrant equal to $0.01 per share. In addition, the underwriters exercised an option to purchase additional shares and purchased 1,751,525 additional ordinary shares. Net proceeds from the issuance and sale of 6,901,790 ordinary shares and 8,050,000 pre-funded warrants were approximately $26.4 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and the estimated offering expenses.
At-the-Market Offering (“ATM”) and Ordinary Share Purchase Agreement
The Company previously entered into a $15 million ATM facility, and into an ordinary share purchase agreement with a single institutional investor for up to $20 million of VBL’s ordinary shares, par value NIS 0.01 per share (the “Share Agreement”). The shares under the ATM may be sold from time to time and the shares sold pursuant to the Share Agreement may be sold from time to time until January 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, VBL sold an aggregate of 2,585,366 shares under the ATM and Share Agreement and received gross proceeds of approximately $6.3 million.
The Company failed to file a prospectus supplement specifying details of the share sales under the ATM. This may have constituted a violation of Section 5 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and may give rise to liability under Section 12 of the Securities Act (which generally provides a rescission remedy for offers and sales of securities in violation of Section 5) as well as potential liability under the anti-fraud provisions of federal and state securities laws and state rescission laws. In such event, anyone who acquired such ordinary shares would have a right to rescind the purchase. If all the shareholders who acquired ordinary shares demanded rescission, the maximum that VBL would be obligated to repay would be approximately $3.5 million, plus interest. Out of the approximately $3.5 million of sales, one identified buyer purchased approximately $1.9 million of its ordinary shares. Such identified buyer has agreed to waive any rescission rights and has signed a waiver evidencing such agreement. The Securities Act generally requires that any claim brought for a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act be brought within one year of the violation. Additionally, if it is determined that such sales did in fact violate the Securities Act, VBL may become subject to fines and penalties imposed by the SEC and state securities agencies. Based on consultation with its counsel and management assessment, VBL did not recognize any provision related to this uncertainty.
VBL analyzed the classification of the ordinary shares. Based on ASC 480-10-S99-3A(f), VBL determined that since the redemption obligation is outside of its control the ordinary shares are considered as ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, $1.6 million is classified as temporary equity as ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, as reflected in the balance sheet.
NOTE 5 – REVENUE
The revenues recognized for the period comprise revenues from the exclusive license agreement for the development, commercialization, and supply of VB-111 in Japan for all indications. The revenues are recognized according to ASC 606, “Revenues from Contracts with Customers.”
VBL has identified two performance obligations in the NanoCarrier License: (1) Grant of the license and use of its IP; and (2) Company’s participation and consulting assistance services. In addition, there is a potential performance obligation regarding future manufacturing.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, VBL recognized revenue of $0.6 million.
NOTE 6- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In October and November 2021, an aggregate of 6,630,159 warrants were exercised for cash. Accordingly, the company issued 6,630,159 ordinary shares and received proceeds of $9.6 million.
