RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL - (August 24, 2020) – XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: XTLB, TASE: XTLB.TA) (“XTL” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical Company, today announced financial results for the six months period ended June 30, 2020.
The Company is expanding its IP portfolio surrounding hCDR1 and has decided to reduce its research and development expenditures in connection with execution of its clinical trials until full funding for the trials or cooperation with a strategic partner is secured. In parallel, the Company will look to identify additional assets to add to XTL’s portfolio.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus (hereafter, the "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 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
XTL reported approximately $4.03 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 and approximately $2.38 million in other current assets (mainly marketable securities). The decrease of $0.43 million since December 31, 2019, in cash and cash equivalents derives from operating expenses.
Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $14 thousand compared to $18 thousand for the corresponding period in 2019.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $460 thousand compared to $381 thousand for the corresponding period in 2019. The increase of $79 thousand derives mainly from replacing the CEO of the Company.
Finance income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $77 thousand compared to $1,419 thousand for the corresponding period in 2019. The difference is primarily from revaluation of marketable securities.
XTL reported an operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $474 thousand compared to $399 thousand for the corresponding period in 2019. The Company reported a total net loss for the period ended June 30, 2020 of approximately $397 thousand or $(0.001) per share, compared to a total net income of approximately $1,020 thousand or $0.002 per share in the corresponding period in 2019. The change is driven primarily by the revaluation of marketable securities as described above.
