DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:

	a.	Entera Bio Ltd. (collectively with its subsidiary, the "Company") was incorporated on September 30, 2009 under the laws of the State of Israel and commenced operation on June 1, 2010. On January 8, 2018 the Company incorporated Entera Bio Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Delaware, United States.The Company is a leader in the development of orally delivered macromolecule therapeutics, including peptides and other therapeutic proteins. The Company applies its platform for use in areas with significant unmet medical need, where adoption of injectable therapies is limited due to cost, convenience and compliance challenges for patients. The Company’s most advanced product candidates, EB613 for the treatment of osteoporosis and EB612 for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism, are based on its proprietary technology platform and are both in clinical development. Additionally, the Company intends to license its oral delivery technology to biopharmaceutical companies for use with their proprietary compounds. Entera established such a collaboration with Amgen Inc. (“Amgen”) in December 2018, for the use of the Company’s oral delivery platform in the field of inflammatory diseases.

	b.	The Company's ordinary shares, NIS 0.0000769 par value per share (“ordinary shares”), have been listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market since the Company’s initial public offering in July 2018, in which total of 1,400,000 ordinary shares and 1,400,000 warrants to purchase up to 700,000 ordinary shares were issued in consideration for net proceeds of $9.6 million, after deducting offering expenses.

	c.	On December 10, 2018, the Company entered into a research collaboration and license agreement (the “Amgen Agreement”) with Amgen for the use of the Company’s oral delivery platform in the field of inflammatory disease and other serious illnesses. Pursuant to the Amgen Agreement, the Company and Amgen have agreed to use the Company’s proprietary drug delivery platform to develop oral formulations for one preclinical large molecule program that Amgen has selected. Amgen also has options to select up to two additional programs to include in the Amgen Agreement. Amgen is responsible for the clinical development, regulatory approval, manufacturing and worldwide commercialization of the programs. The Company granted Amgen an exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable license under certain of its intellectual property relating to its drug delivery technology to develop, manufacture and commercialize the applicable products. The Company has retained all intellectual property rights to its drug delivery technology, and Amgen has retained all rights to its large molecules and any subsequent improvements, and ownership of certain intellectual property developed through the performance of the agreement is to be determined by U.S. patent law.

	d.	Because the Company is engaged in research and development activities, it has not derived significant income from its activities and has incurred accumulated losses in the amount of $89.4 million through June 30, 2022 and negative cash flows from operating activities. The Company's management is of the opinion that its available funds as of June 30, 2022 will allow the Company to operate under its current plans through the second quarter of 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives in the public or private equity markets or through the license of the Company's technology ¹

Covid-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 to be a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having widespread, rapidly evolving, and unpredictable impacts on global society, economies, financial markets, and business practices. During 2021, there was a broad distribution of several vaccinations and medicines to overcome the pandemic. The Company has adjusted its operations to co-exist with the pandemic and has encouraged its employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Though the Company sees great progress to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to impact the Company’s business operations, with outbursts of new variants of the COVID-19 from time to time, and there is uncertainty in the nature and degree of its continued effects over time.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of presentation of the financial statements

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2022, the consolidated results of operations, statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The consolidated results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 8, 2022. The comparative balance sheet at December 31, 2021 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements.

Loss per share

Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the net loss for the period, divided by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares during the period.

Diluted loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of ordinary shares and of ordinary shares equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Ordinary share equivalents include outstanding stock options and warrants, which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive. The calculation of diluted loss per share does not include options and warrants, exercisable into 6,326,180 shares and 7,804,106 shares for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and 6,473,863 shares and 7,718,887 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Newly issued and recently adopted accounting pronouncements:

Recently issued accounting pronouncements adopted

1)	In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 “Government Assistance (Topic 832)”, which requires annual disclosures that increase the transparency of transactions involving government grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The adoption of this guidance did not have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2)	In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06 “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40).” This guidance simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The amendments to this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The options will vest over 3 years in twelve equal quarterly instalments starting on January 1, 2022 the vesting commencement date. On January 1, 2022, which is considered the awards grant date, the Company granted 752,899 ordinary shares to non-executive directors with an exercise price of $2.815 per share.

ii.

Grants of options to purchase ordinary shares with a total fair value 0f $65 for each of the seven non-executive board members on January 1, 2022. The options will vest over 1 year in four equal quarterly instalments starting on January 1, 2022 the vesting commencement date. On January 1, 2022, which is considered the awards grant date, the Company granted 250,964 ordinary shares to non-executive directors with an exercise price of $2.815 per share.

	b.	On March 31, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved option grants to purchase 115,000 ordinary shares to certain executive officers and 20,000 options granted to a service provider, in each case with an exercise price of $2.86 per share. The options vest over four years from the date of grant; 25% vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% of the option will vest in twelve equal quarterly installments following the first anniversary of the grant date. The fair value of the options at the date of grant was $147. Of these options, 55,000 are subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company and as such, are not included as part of the fair value.

	c.	On April 28, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved options grants to purchase 220,000 ordinary shares to employees with an exercise price of $2.57 per share. The options vest over four years from the date of grant; 25% vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% of the option will vest in twelve equal quarterly installments following the first anniversary of the grant date.

	d.	On May 11, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a grant of options to purchase 500,000 ordinary shares to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, who has since been appointed the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. These options have an exercise price of $2.02 per share and vest over four years from the date of grant; 25% vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% of the option will vest in twelve equal quarterly installments following the first anniversary of the grant date. These options are subject to the approval of the shareholders of the Company. The fair value of each option granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted average assumptions:

	Six months
	ended June 30,
	2022
Exercise price		$2.57-$2.86
Dividend yield		-
Expected volatility		69%-70%
Risk-free interest rate		1.35%-2.87%
Expected life - in years		5.5-6.5

On June 15, 2022 the Company signed on a separation agreement with Dr. Phillip Schwartz, the Company’s former President of R&D, under which he agreed to continue to provide services to the Company until July 21, 2022 (the “Separation Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the separation agreement and subject to approval of the Company’s shareholders, Dr. Schwartz is entitled to receive a full acceleration of the options to purchase 100,000 ordinary shares granted in April 2021, such that 68,750 outstanding options to acquire ordinary shares that not already vested will be deemed to have vested as of the Separation date. These options, together with 357,500 options to purchase ordinary shares, granted in 2017 will remain exercisable, consistent with the original exercise periods.

In addition, the separation agreement provides for the following payments to Dr. Schwartz, all of which would have otherwise been payable in accordance with either Israeli law or pursuant to his existing employment agreement: a one-time cash separation payment in an amount equal to NIS 537,600 (approximately $155,900) and additional payments of approximately NIS 737,771 (approximately $213,952) in respect of all other ongoing accrued benefits, subject to any mandatory deductions. The foregoing payments were recognized in the research and development expenses.
