  a.

Can-Fite Biopharma Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated and started to operate in September 1994 as a private Israeli company. Can-Fite is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing orally bioavailable small molecule therapeutic products for the treatment of psoriasis, liver cancer, NASH and erectile dysfunction. Its platform technology utilizes the Gi protein associated A3AR as a therapeutic target. A3AR is highly expressed in patholological body cells such as inflammatory and cancer cells, and has a low expression in normal cells, suggesting that the receptor could be a specific target for pharmacological intervention. The Company’s pipeline of drug candidates are synthetic, highly specific agonists and allosteric modulators at the A3AR.

 

The Company’s ordinary shares have been publicly traded on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange since October 2005 under the symbol “CFBI” and the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) began public trading on the over the counter market in the U.S. in October 2012 and since November 2013 the Company’s ADSs have been publicly traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “CANF”. Each ADS represents 300 ordinary shares of the Company.

 

b. Under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (“ASC 205-40”), the Company has the responsibility to evaluate whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As required under ASC 205-40, management’s evaluation should initially not take into consideration the potential mitigating effects of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date the financial statements are issued. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.

 

Evaluation of Substantial Doubt Raised

 

In performing the first step of the evaluation, the Company concluded that the following conditions raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern:

 

History of net losses of $3,957 and $4,220 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Net operating cash outflow of $4,036 and $5,045 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Reliance on additional financing in order to execute its research and development plans.

 

Consideration of Management’s Plans

 

In performing the second step of this assessment, the Company is required to evaluate whether it is probable that the Company’s plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the financial statements are issued and whether it is probable those plans will alleviate the substantial doubt raised about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $4,719 in available cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Company is prepared to implement the following actions as required by business and market conditions: reducing non-essential expenses to conserve cash and improve its liquidity position, deferral and reprioritization of certain research and development programs that would involve reduced program spend until additional financing will be obtained in order to strengthen liquidity and to preserve key research and development, commercial and functional roles.

 

On August 8, 2024, subsequent to the balance sheet date, the Company entered into an inducement letter with an existing investor, according to which 857,142,900 warrants were exercised to ordinary shares for total consideration of $4,474 net of issuance costs. Refer to note 5 for additional information.

 

Management Assessment of Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The Company has a history of operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. However, despite these conditions, the Company believes management’s plans, as described more fully above, will provide sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations.

 

Therefore, management concluded these plans alleviate the substantial doubt that was raised about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

 Future Plans and Considerations

 

Although not considered for purposes of the Company’s assessment of whether substantial doubt was alleviated, the Company has plans to improve operating cash flows by entering into strategic partnerships with other companies that can provide access to additional customers and new markets. The Company may also seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities or otherwise.

 

The Company’s plans are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plans can be effectively implemented and, therefore, that the conditions can be effectively mitigated.

 

Until such time, if ever, that the Company can generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, the Company expects to finance its operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available to the Company on the timing needed or on terms that the Company deems to be favorable. To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through the sale of equity or debt securities, the ownership interest of its stockholders will be diluted. If the Company is unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, its business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

 

c. Basis of Presentation:

 

These unaudited Condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared as of June 30, 2024 and for the six months period then ended. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. These unaudited Condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2024 (the “Annual Report on Form 20-F”). The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

 

The significant accounting policies that have been applied in the preparation of the unaudited consolidated Condensed financial statements are identical to those that were applied in preparation of the Company’s most recent annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

d. Revenue Recognition – Contract Balances

Contract liabilities amounted to $2,071 and $2,335 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively and are presented under deferred revenues. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenues in the amount of $316 which have been included in the contract liabilities at December 31, 2023.
