PART III — NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

As previously reported by Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) in its Form 12b-25 (NT 10-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2024, the Company was not able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) because the Company was unable to allocate the financial resources necessary to engage its independent public accounting firm to perform an audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Financial Statements”) to be included in the Form 10-K. Such financial constraints are ongoing, and the Company is unable to engage its independent public accounting firm to conduct a review of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “First Quarter Financial Statements”) to be included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”). Therefore, the Company is unable to File the Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort at expense.

 

The Company cannot predict at this time if and when the review of the First Quarter Financial Statements will be completed and if and when it will file the Form 10-Q.

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1)	Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification
	Sumit Aggarwal		781		577-5300
	(Name)		(Area Code)		(Telephone Number)
(2)	Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
					¨ Yes     x No
	Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023
(3)	Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
					x Yes    ¨ No

 

 

 

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.   The Company expects to report that it had cash and cash equivalents of $0.8 million as of March 31, 2024, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $4.9 million as of March 31, 2023. The Company anticipates that there will be a significant increase in the Company’s net loss and accumulated deficit for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, however, the Company cannot provide a reasonable estimate of such results because the Company continues to lack the financial resources necessary to prepare its First Quarter Financial Statements.   Management anticipates that it will be disclosing in the Form 10-Q substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company does not currently have sufficient cash resources to support its planned operations for at least 12 months from the expected issuance date of the First Quarter Financial Statements contained in the Form 10-Q.   The information above is preliminary and subject to change and does not present all information necessary for an understanding of the Company’s results of operations for these periods. The Company’s actual results may differ from the preliminary estimates above and are subject to the completion of the review of the First Quarter Financial Statements by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.   Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements   This Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as “expect,” “will,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and variations of such words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s expectations regarding the timing of and its ability to make its Form 10-Q filing, the Company’s expected results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and anticipated going concern disclosure. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current plans, estimates, assumptions and projections based on information currently available to the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results or outcomes may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to various important factors, including, but not limited to the important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2023, as any such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the “Financials & Filings” page of the Company’s website at https://investors.eloxxpharma.com/financials-filings.
