NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

a. Nature of operations

1) Intec Pharma Ltd. (“Intec”) is engaged in the development of proprietary technology which enables the gastric retention of certain drugs. The technology is intended to significantly improve the efficiency of the drugs and substantially reduce their side-effects or the effective doses.

Intec is a limited liability public company incorporated in Israel.

Intec’s ordinary shares are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”).

In September 2017, Intec incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States of America in the State of Delaware - Intec Pharma Inc. (the “Subsidiary”, together with Intec - “the Company”). The Subsidiary was incorporated mainly to provide Intec executive and management services, including business development, medical affairs and investor relationship activities outside of Israel.

2) On July 22, 2019, the Company announced top-line results according to which its Phase III clinical trial for AP-CD/LD did not achieve its primary and secondary endpoints. The Company has begun to analyze the full data set of the Phase III clinical trial and expects to complete this process in the third quarter of 2019. The Company expects that such findings will help to form its strategy for AP-CD/LD moving forward. The Company evaluated these subsequent events and determined that they were non-adjusting to the June 30, 2019 balance sheet as they were not known or expected as of that date. As the results are considered as a triggering event, the Company will perform an impairment test on all of  its long-lived assets in the third quarter of 2019 that may result in an impairment charge on such assets.

3) The Company has not yet generated revenues from their operations. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s operations will generate positive cash flows. As of June 30, 2019, the cumulative losses of the Company were approximately $162.5 million. Management expects that the Company will continue to incur losses from its operations, which will result in negative cash flows from operating activities.

The Company believes that it has adequate cash to fund its ongoing activities into early in the first quarter of 2020. Its ability to execute its operating plan beyond early in the first quarter of 2020 is dependent on its ability to obtain additional capital during 2019 principally through entering into license agreements with third parties and/or raising capital from the public and/or private investors and/or institutional investors. The negative outcome of the Phase III clinical trial and uncertainty regarding the Company’s development programs is expected to adversely affect its ability to obtain funding and there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for its activities. As the analysis of the full data set of the Phase III clinical trial proceeds, the Company is evaluating measures to reduce its costs to preserve existing capital. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing sufficient financing, it may need to curtail or cease operations. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements.

These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued):

b. Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and S-X Article 10 for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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, 2019, the consolidated results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed in the 10-K on February 27, 2019. The condensed balance sheet data as of December 31, 2018 included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements was derived from the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements.

The results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intec and its Subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

b. Fair value measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into six broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The marketable securities which are measures at fair value are categorized as Level 1.

The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, other receivable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximates their fair value.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

c. Loss per share

Loss per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net loss for the six-month period divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the six-month 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 which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive.

The following share options were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per ordinary share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (share data):

	Six months ended June 30
	2019		2018
Outstanding stock options		4,389,696		3,472,270

d. Research and development expenses, net

Research and development expenses, net for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, include participation in research and development expenses in the amount of approximately $815 thousand and approximately $458 thousand, respectively.

e. Newly issued accounting pronouncements

1) In February 2016, the FASB established ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (Topic 842), by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The Company adopted the new standard on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method and has not restated comparative periods. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to adoption of Topic 842.

Additionally, the Company did not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. Instead, the Company will continue to recognize the lease payments for those leases in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The most significant effects of adoption relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for real estate operating leases; and (2) providing significant new disclosures about its leasing activities.

INTEC PHARMA LTD.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(Unaudited)

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

Upon adoption, the Company recognized additional operating lease liabilities, of approximately $2.2 million based on the present value of the remaining lease payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. The Company also recognized corresponding ROU assets of approximately $2.2 million. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s leases may include variable payments based on measures that include changes in price index which are expensed as incurred and presented as operating expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments.

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. Beginning in 2019, the Company changed its disclosed lease recognition policies and practices, as well as to other related financial statement disclosures due to the adoption of this standard. See Note 4a.

2) In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (Topic 718” or “ASU 2018-07”) to improve the usefulness of information provided to users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting and provide guidance aligning the measurement and classification for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. Under the guidance, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will be fixed at the grant date. This standard, adopted as of April 1, 2019, had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 - MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The Company’s marketable securities have a minimum of A rating by global rating agencies. These marketable securities are recorded at fair value with changes recorded in the statement of operations as “financial income, net”, as the Company chose to apply the fair value option.

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the amount of the marketable securities is approximately $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The gain, net from changes in marketable securities amounted to approximately $5 thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and the loss, net from changes in marketable securities amounted to approximately $154 thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

a. Lease Agreements

1) The Company is a tenant under a lease agreement in respect of offices and operational spaces in Jerusalem until June 30, 2021. The lease agreement includes an option to extend the lease term until June 30, 2022 (the “Extension Option”). The exercise of the Extension Option may be made in the Company’s sole discretion. Rent payments are denominated in NIS and linked to the Israeli CPI.

To secure the Company’s obligations to the lease agreement in Jerusalem, the Company granted a bank guarantee to the lessor, which amounted to approximately $141 thousand as of June 30, 2019.

The Company also leases office space in Modi’in and New York City for a short-term period.

2) The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for vehicles used by its employees. The lease periods are generally for six years and the payments are linked to the Israeli CPI. To secure the terms of the lease agreements, the Company has made certain prepayments to the leasing company, representing approximately six months of lease payments.

Lease expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 was comprised of the following:

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company transferred payments of approximately €7.5 million (approximately $8.7 million) and €7.4 million (approximately $8.6 million), respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the Company recognized a liability in the amount of approximately €592 thousand (approximately $675 thousand) and €148 thousand (approximately $170 thousand), respectively. As of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the installation process and qualification studies of the Production Line at the commercial site at Lohmann Therapie-Systeme AG (“LTS”) was completed. For more details regarding the Manufacturing Services with LTS see note c below.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued):

c. Establishment of the Commercial Scale Production Capabilities for AP-CD/LD

In December 2018, the Company entered into a Process Development Agreement for Manufacturing Services with LTS for the manufacture of AP-CD/LD (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, the Company will bear the costs incurred by LTS to acquire the production equipment for AP-CD/LD (“Equipment”) in the amount of approximately €7.0 million, however such amount will later be reimbursed to the Company by LTS in the form of a reduction in the purchase price of the AP-CD/LD product. As of June 30, 2019, the Company transferred payments of approximately €5.6 million (approximately $6.4 million) in costs of the Equipment, of which approximately €1.3 million (approximately $1.4 million) was paid during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and recognized a liability in an additional amount of approximately €984 thousand (approximately $1,114 thousand) and as of December 31, 2018 recognized a liability of €436 thousand (approximately $499 thousand). The Company has recognized the Equipment as non-current other assets.

The Agreement contains several termination rights which are expected to be included in a definitive manufacturing and supply agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a liability that was recorded against research and development expenses, net in the amount of approximately €3.0 million (approximately $3.4 million), for LTS’s facility upgrading costs, of which approximately €2.0 million (approximately $2.2 million) will be paid to LTS only if the Company decides to not continue with the project or commercialization of AP-CD/LD. The liability that was recorded as of December 31, 2018, was approximately €1.65 million (approximately $1.9 million).

d. During 2019 the Company received letters (each a “Letter” and collectively the “Letters”) from several of its former directors and officers. The Letters include several claims related, among others, to a purported vesting of certain options that were issued to them due to the execution by the Company of a manufacturing agreement with LTS for the production of the Company’s AP-CD/LD. On July 30, 2019, the board of directors of the Company resolved that the vesting conditions have not been met. As of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is yet to receive their response, and at this stage cannot assess whether a claim would be filed, and if filed, its likelihood of success.

NOTE 5 - SHARE CAPITAL:

a. Changes in share capital

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, options to purchase 69,812 ordinary shares granted to employees and service providers were exercised for consideration of approximately $268 thousand.

b. Share-based compensation:

1) In April 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved a new option plan (the “2015 Plan”). Originally, the maximum number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan was 700,000 ordinary shares for grants to directors, employees and consultants. In July 2016 an increase of 700,000 ordinary shares was approved by the board of directors.

In December 2017 and June 2018, an increase of 2,100,000 and 1,000,000 ordinary shares, respectively, was approved by the Company’s shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders.

As of June 30, 2019, 190,657 shares remain available for grant under the Plan.

Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing drugs based on our proprietary Accordion Pill platform technology, which we refer to as the Accordion Pill. Our Accordion Pill is an oral drug delivery system that is designed to improve the efficacy and safety of existing drugs and drugs in development by utilizing an efficient gastric retention and specific release mechanism. Our product pipeline currently includes several product candidates in various clinical trial stages. Our leading product candidate, AP-CD/LD, is being developed for the indication of treatment of Parkinson’s disease symptoms in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients.

In July 2019, we announced top-line results from our pivotal Phase III clinical for AP-CD/LD for the treatment of advanced Parkinson’s disease known as the ACCORDANCE study in which the ACCORDANCE study did not meet its target endpoints. While AP-CD/LD provided treatment for Parkinson’s disease symptoms, it did not demonstrate statistically superiority over immediate release CD/LD on the primary endpoint of OFF time reduction under the conditions established in the protocol. Treatment-emergent adverse effects observed with AP-CD/LD were generally consistent with the known safety profile of CD/LD formulations and no new safety issues were observed throughout the double-blinded study, during the gastroscopy safety sub-study or the 12-month open-label extension study. From our on-going preliminary review of the data, we have observed a meaningful reduction in OFF time in certain subsets of patients. We are in the process of analyzing the full data set and expect to complete this process during the third quarter of 2019 and expect that such findings will help inform our strategy for AP-CD/LD moving forward.

Previously, we successfully completed a Phase II clinical trial for AP-CD/LD for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease symptoms in advanced Parkinson’s disease patients and in February 2019, we announced that AP-CD/LD met the primary endpoint in a pharmacokinetic, or PK, study comparing the AP-CD/LD 50/500mg dosed three times daily, the most common dose used in our on-going ACCORDANCE study, to 1.5 tablets of CD/LD immediate release (Sinemet™) 25/100 dosed five times per day in Parkinson’s disease patients.

We have invested in the commercial scale manufacture of AP-CD/LD, for which we are in partnership with LTS Lohmann Therapie-Systeme AG, or LTS. In December 2018, the large commercial scale production line was delivered to LTS in Andernach, Germany and recently we completed the qualification studies for the commercial scale manufacture of the Accordion Pill. 

16

In addition, we have initiated a clinical development program for our Accordion Pill platform with the two primary cannabinoids contained in cannabis sativa, which we refer to as AP-Cannabinoids. We are formulating and testing CBD and THC for the treatment of various pain indications. AP-Cannabinoids are designed to extend the absorption phase of CBD and THC, with the goal of more consistent levels for an improved therapeutic effect, which may address several major drawbacks of current methods of treatment, such as short duration of effect, delayed onset, variability of exposure, variability of the administered dose and adverse events that correlate with peak levels. In March 2017, we initiated a Phase I single-center, single-dose, randomized, three-way crossover clinical trial in Israel to compare the safety, tolerability and PK of AP-THC/CBD with Sativex®, an oral buccal spray containing CBD and THC that is commercially available outside of the United States. Initial results demonstrated that the Accordion Pill platform is well suited to safely deliver CBD and THC with significant improvements in exposure compared with Sativex®. In December 2018, we initiated a PK study of AP-THC and the results of the study demonstrate that the custom designed AP delivery system in the AP-THC PK study did not meet our expectations. We are continuing to advance the AP-Cannabinoids clinical development program and we expect to provide new timelines before the end of the year.

While the ACCORDANCE results were not what we expected, we continue to believe in the potential of the Accordion Pill platform. In December 2018, we reported that we successfully developed an Accordion Pill for a Novartis proprietary compound that met the required in vitro specifications set forth in a feasibility agreement with Novartis. We recently completed the human PK study that was initiated during the first quarter of 2019 and we are seeking to advance this program into potential partnership discussions with Novartis.

In May 2019, we reported entering into a research collaboration agreement with Merck for the development of a custom-designed AP for one of Merck’s proprietary compounds and are now initiating the design and construction of this new AP.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Research and Development Expenses, Net

Our research and development expenses, net, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to approximately $7.9 million, a decrease of approximately $500,000, or 6%, compared to approximately $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our research and development expenses, net, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to approximately $16.4 million, a decrease of approximately $900,000, or 5%, compared to approximately $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease for the three and six-month periods was primarily due to a decrease in expenses related to our ACCORDANCE study and open label extension study. This decrease was offset by an increase in expenses related to the scale up activities for the commercial scale production capabilities for AP-CD/LD at LTS.

General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to approximately $2.1 million, a decrease of approximately $100,000, or 5%, compared to approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 amounted to approximately $4.3 million, an increase of approximately $200,000, or 5%, compared to approximately $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in the six-month period was primarily related to the increase in payroll and related expenses mainly due to an increase in headcount and salary raises and insurance expenses. This increase was offset by a decrease in professional services.

Operating Loss

As a result of the foregoing, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 our operating loss was approximately $10.0 million, a decrease of approximately $600,000, or 6%, compared to our operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $10.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 our operating loss was approximately $20.7 million, a decrease of approximately $700,000, or 3%, compared to our operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $21.4 million. The changes in the three and six-month periods were mainly due to changes in research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses, as detailed above.

17

Financial Income (expenses), Net

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we had financial income from interest on cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $92,000, offset by financial expenses from foreign currency exchange expenses in the amount of approximately $54,000 and bank fees. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we had financial expenses from foreign currency exchange expenses in the amount of approximately $446,000, financial expenses from change in fair value of marketable securities in the amount of approximately $79,000 and bank fees offset by financial income from interest on cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $241,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had financial income from interest on cash and cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $282,000 offset by financial expenses from foreign currency exchange expenses in the amount of approximately $128,000 and bank fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we had financial expenses from foreign currency exchange expenses in the amount of approximately $389,000, financial expenses from change in fair value of marketable securities in the amount of approximately $154,000 and bank fees offset by financial income from interest on cash equivalents in the amount of approximately $387,000.

Income tax

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we have not generated taxable income in Israel. However, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we incurred tax expenses in our U.S. subsidiary in the amount of $38,000 and $147,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 we incurred tax expenses in our U.S. subsidiary in the amount of $72,000 and $210,000, respectively.

Net Loss

Based on the foregoing, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 our net loss was approximately $10.0 million, a decrease of approximately $1.0 million, or 9%, compared to net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $11.0 million while for the six months ended June 30, 2019 our net loss was approximately $20.7 million, a decrease of approximately $1.1 million, or 5%, compared to our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of approximately $21.8 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through public and private offerings (in Israel and in the U.S.) of our equity securities, grants from the IIA and other grants from organizations such as the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and payments received under the feasibility and related agreements we have entered into with multinational pharmaceutical companies, pursuant to which we are entitled to full coverage of our development costs with regard to the projects specified in those agreements.

As of June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $21.6 million. As of December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of approximately $40.6 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with net cash used in operating activities of approximately $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease resulted primarily from the decrease in the net loss for the period in the amount of $1.1 million and from changes in operating assets and liabilities items of approximately $300,000.

We had negative cash flow from investing activities of approximately $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to negative cash flow from investing activities of approximately $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in purchase of property and equipment in the amount of approximately $2.5 million, an increase in proceeds from the disposal of marketable securities in the amount of approximately $576,000 and a decrease of approximately $261,000 in investment in other assets related to the establishment of the commercial scale production capabilities for AP-CD/LD at LTS. For more information, see note 4(c) in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately $268,000, which was provided by the proceeds from the exercise of options by employees. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was approximately $35.0 million which was mainly provided by funds received from our April 2018 public offering of ordinary shares.

18

Current Outlook

In July 2019, we announced that our Phase III clinical trial for AP-CD/LD did not meet its target endpoints. We have begun to analyze the full data set of the Phase III clinical trial and expect to complete this process in the third quarter of 2019. We expect that such findings will help inform our strategy for AP-CD/LD moving forward. We expect that these activities, together with general and administrative costs, will result in continuing operating losses for the foreseeable future. We believe that we have adequate cash to fund these ongoing activities into early in the first quarter of 2020. Our ability to execute our operating plan beyond early in the first quarter of 2020 is dependent on our ability to obtain additional capital during 2019 principally through entering into a license agreement with Novartis or another third party and/or raising capital from the public and/or private investors and/or institutional investors. The negative outcome of the Phase III clinical trial and uncertainty regarding our development programs is expected to adversely affect our ability to obtain funding and there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for our activities. As the analysis of the full data set of the Phase III clinical trial proceeds, we are evaluating measures to reduce our costs to preserve existing capital and may incur impairment charges on our long-lived assets in the third quarter of 2019 which could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations. If we are unsuccessful in securing sufficient financing, we may need to scale back our administrative and clinical development activities and may be required to cease our operations entirely. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. For more information, see note 1a(2) and (3) in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

On March 1, 2019, we entered into a Sales Agreement with Cowen and Company, LLC (“Cowen”), pursuant to which we may sell from time to time, at our option, up to $75.0 million of our ordinary shares through an “at-the-market” equity offering program under which Cowen will act as sales agent. The issuance and sale of ordinary shares by us under the program will be made pursuant to our effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-230016) filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019, and declared effective on March 28, 2019. No ordinary shares have been sold under the program.

Developing drugs, conducting clinical trials, obtaining commercial manufacturing capabilities and commercializing products is expensive and we will need to raise substantial additional funds to achieve our strategic objectives. We will require significant additional financing in the future to fund our operations, including if and when we progress into additional clinical trials of our product candidates, obtain regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates, obtain commercial manufacturing capabilities and commercialize one or more of our product candidates. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

● the progress and costs of our clinical trials and other research and development activities;

● the scope, prioritization and number of our clinical trials and other research and development programs;

● the amount of revenues and contributions we receive under future licensing, collaboration, development and commercialization arrangements with respect to our product candidates;

● the costs of the development and expansion of our operational infrastructure;

● the costs and timing of obtaining regulatory approval for one or more of our product candidates;

● the ability of us, or our collaborators, to achieve development milestones, marketing approval and other events or developments under our potential future licensing agreements;

● the costs of filing, prosecuting, enforcing and defending patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

● the costs and timing of securing manufacturing arrangements for clinical or commercial production;

● the costs of contracting with third parties to provide sales and marketing capabilities for us or establishing such capabilities ourselves;

● the costs of acquiring or undertaking development and commercialization efforts for any future products, product candidates or technology;

● the magnitude of our general and administrative expenses; and

● any cost that we may incur under future in- and out-licensing arrangements relating to one or more of our product candidates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities and expenses. Significant accounting policies employed by us, including the use of estimates, are presented in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. We periodically evaluate our estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require our subjective or complex judgments, resulting in the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual performance should differ from historical experience or if the underlying assumptions were to change, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially impacted.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.  With the exception of the change for the accounting of leases as a result of the adoption of ASC Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 there have been no material changes to those policies during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1- Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2019. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2019 these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

a. Nature of operations

1) Intec Pharma Ltd. ("Intec") is engaged in the development of proprietary technology which enables the gastric retention of certain drugs. The technology is intended to significantly improve the efficiency of the drugs and substantially reduce their side-effects or the effective doses.

Intec is a limited liability public company incorporated in Israel.

Intec's ordinary shares are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market ("NASDAQ").

In September 2017, Intec incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in the United States of America in the State of Delaware - Intec Pharma Inc. (the "Subsidiary", together with Intec - "the Company"). The Subsidiary was incorporated mainly to provide Intec executive and management services, including business development, medical affairs and investor relationship activities outside of Israel.

2) On July 22, 2019, the Company announced top-line results according to which its Phase III clinical trial for AP-CD/LD did not achieve its primary and secondary endpoints. The Company has begun to analyze the full data set of the Phase III clinical trial and expects to complete this process in the third quarter of 2019. The Company expects that such findings will help to form its strategy for AP-CD/LD moving forward. The Company evaluated these subsequent events and determined that they were non-adjusting to the June 30, 2019 balance sheet as they were not known or expected as of that date. As the results are considered as a triggering event, the Company will perform an impairment test on all of  its long-lived assets in the third quarter of 2019 that may result in an impairment charge on such assets.

3) The Company has not yet generated revenues from their operations. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company's operations will generate positive cash flows. As of June 30, 2019, the cumulative losses of the Company were approximately $162.5 million. Management expects that the Company will continue to incur losses from its operations, which will result in negative cash flows from operating activities.

The Company believes that it has adequate cash to fund its ongoing activities into early in the first quarter of 2020. Its ability to execute its operating plan beyond early in the first quarter of 2020 is dependent on its ability to obtain additional capital during 2019 principally through entering into license agreements with third parties and/or raising capital from the public and/or private investors and/or institutional investors. The negative outcome of the Phase III clinical trial and uncertainty regarding the Company's development programs is expected to adversely affect its ability to obtain funding and there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for its activities. As the analysis of the full data set of the Phase III clinical trial proceeds, the Company is evaluating measures to reduce its costs to preserve existing capital. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing sufficient financing, it may need to curtail or cease operations. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of these financial statements.

These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

b. Basis of presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and S-X Article 10 for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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, 2019, the consolidated results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed in the 10-K on February 27, 2019. The condensed balance sheet data as of December 31, 2018 included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements was derived from the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements.

The results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intec and its Subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

b. Fair value measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into six broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The marketable securities which are measures at fair value are categorized as Level 1.

The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, other receivable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximates their fair value.

c. Loss per share

Loss per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net loss for the six-month period divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the six-month 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 which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive.

The following share options were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per ordinary share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (share data):

	Six months ended June 30
	2019		2018
Outstanding stock options		4,389,696		3,472,270

d. Research and development expenses, net

Research and development expenses, net for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, include participation in research and development expenses in the amount of approximately $815 thousand and approximately $458 thousand, respectively.

e. Newly issued accounting pronouncements

1) In February 2016, the FASB established ASC Topic 842, "Leases" (Topic 842), by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The Company adopted the new standard on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method and has not restated comparative periods. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the 'package of practical expedients', which permits it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to adoption of Topic 842.

Additionally, the Company did not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. Instead, the Company will continue to recognize the lease payments for those leases in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The most significant effects of adoption relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for real estate operating leases; and (2) providing significant new disclosures about its leasing activities.

Upon adoption, the Company recognized additional operating lease liabilities, of approximately $2.2 million based on the present value of the remaining lease payments under current leasing standards for existing operating leases. The Company also recognized corresponding ROU assets of approximately $2.2 million. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's leases may include variable payments based on measures that include changes in price index which are expensed as incurred and presented as operating expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments.

The new standard also provides practical expedients for an entity's ongoing accounting. Beginning in 2019, the Company changed its disclosed lease recognition policies and practices, as well as to other related financial statement disclosures due to the adoption of this standard. See Note 4a.

2) In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, "Compensation-Stock Compensation" (Topic 718" or "ASU 2018-07") to improve the usefulness of information provided to users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting and provide guidance aligning the measurement and classification for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. Under the guidance, the measurement of equity-classified nonemployee awards will be fixed at the grant date. This standard, adopted as of April 1, 2019, had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

a. Lease Agreements

1) The Company is a tenant under a lease agreement in respect of offices and operational spaces in Jerusalem until June 30, 2021. The lease agreement includes an option to extend the lease term until June 30, 2022 (the “Extension Option”). The exercise of the Extension Option may be made in the Company’s sole discretion. Rent payments are denominated in NIS and linked to the Israeli CPI.

To secure the Company’s obligations to the lease agreement in Jerusalem, the Company granted a bank guarantee to the lessor, which amounted to approximately $141 thousand as of June 30, 2019.

The Company also leases office space in Modi’in and New York City for a short-term period.

2) The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for vehicles used by its employees. The lease periods are generally for six years and the payments are linked to the Israeli CPI. To secure the terms of the lease agreements, the Company has made certain prepayments to the leasing company, representing approximately six months of lease payments.

Lease expense for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 was comprised of the following:

b. Automated Production Line

In April 2017, the Company engaged with an international manufacturer for ordering a large-scale automated production line for manufacturing Accordion Pills (the “Production Line”). The total cost of the Production Line amounted to approximately €8.1 million. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Company transferred payments of approximately €7.5 million (approximately $8.7 million) and €7.4 million (approximately $8.6 million), respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 the Company recognized a liability in the amount of approximately €592 thousand (approximately $675 thousand) and €148 thousand (approximately $170 thousand), respectively. As of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the installation process and qualification studies of the Production Line at the commercial site at Lohmann Therapie-Systeme AG (“LTS”) was completed. For more details regarding the Manufacturing Services with LTS see note c below.

c. Establishment of the Commercial Scale Production Capabilities for AP-CD/LD

In December 2018, the Company entered into a Process Development Agreement for Manufacturing Services with LTS for the manufacture of AP-CD/LD (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, the Company will bear the costs incurred by LTS to acquire the production equipment for AP-CD/LD (“Equipment”) in the amount of approximately €7.0 million, however such amount will later be reimbursed to the Company by LTS in the form of a reduction in the purchase price of the AP-CD/LD product. As of June 30, 2019, the Company transferred payments of approximately €5.6 million (approximately $6.4 million) in costs of the Equipment, of which approximately €1.3 million (approximately $1.4 million) was paid during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and recognized a liability in an additional amount of approximately €984 thousand (approximately $1,114 thousand) and as of December 31, 2018 recognized a liability of €436 thousand (approximately $499 thousand). The Company has recognized the Equipment as non-current other assets.

The Agreement contains several termination rights which are expected to be included in a definitive manufacturing and supply agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a liability that was recorded against research and development expenses, net in the amount of approximately €3.0 million (approximately $3.4 million), for LTS’s facility upgrading costs, of which approximately €2.0 million (approximately $2.2 million) will be paid to LTS only if the Company decides to not continue with the project or commercialization of AP-CD/LD. The liability that was recorded as of December 31, 2018, was approximately €1.65 million (approximately $1.9 million).

d. During 2019 the Company received letters (each a “Letter” and collectively the “Letters”) from several of its former directors and officers. The Letters include several claims related, among others, to a purported vesting of certain options that were issued to them due to the execution by the Company of a manufacturing agreement with LTS for the production of the Company’s AP-CD/LD. On July 30, 2019, the board of directors of the Company resolved that the vesting conditions have not been met. As of the date of the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is yet to receive their response, and at this stage cannot assess whether a claim would be filed, and if filed, its likelihood of success.

SHARE CAPITAL

NOTE 5 - SHARE CAPITAL:

a. Changes in share capital

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, options to purchase 69,812 ordinary shares granted to employees and service providers were exercised for consideration of approximately $268 thousand.

b. Share-based compensation:

1) In April 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved a new option plan (the “2015 Plan”). Originally, the maximum number of ordinary shares reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan was 700,000 ordinary shares for grants to directors, employees and consultants. In July 2016 an increase of 700,000 ordinary shares was approved by the board of directors.

In December 2017 and June 2018, an increase of 2,100,000 and 1,000,000 ordinary shares, respectively, was approved by the Company’s shareholders at a general meeting of shareholders.

As of June 30, 2019, 190,657 shares remain available for grant under the Plan.

In the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted options as follows:

	Six months ended June 30, 2019
	Number of options granted		Exercise price range		Vesting period		Expiration
Employees		1,065,000	$	7.63-$7.64		3 years		7 years
Directors		120,000	$	4.86		3 years		7 years

	Six months ended June 30, 2018
	Number of options granted		Exercise price range		Vesting period range		Expiration
Employees		1,175,000	$	4.44-$6.67		3 years		7 years
Directors		120,000	$	4.44		3 years		7 years

The fair value of options granted to employees during the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018 was $4.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively

The fair value of options granted to employees on the date of grant was computed using the Black-Scholes model. The underlying data used for computing the fair value of the options are as follows:

	Six months ended June 30
	2019		2018
Value of ordinary share		$4.34-$7.46		$4.20-$6.45
Dividend yield		0%		0%
Expected volatility		53.32%-54.55%		45.87%-46.47%
Risk-free interest rate		1.76%-2.57%		2.25%-2.73%
Expected term		5 years		5 years

2) The following table illustrates the effect of share-based compensation on the statements of operations:

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

Jun. 30, 2019

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of consolidation

a. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Intec and its Subsidiary. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Fair value measurement

b. Fair value measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into six broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The marketable securities which are measures at fair value are categorized as Level 1.

The carrying amount of the cash and cash equivalents, other receivable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximates their fair value.

Loss per share

c. Loss per share

Loss per share, basic and diluted, is computed on the basis of the net loss for the six-month period divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the six-month 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 which are included under the treasury stock method when dilutive.

The following share options were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per ordinary share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented (share data):

	Six months ended June 30
	2019		2018
Outstanding stock options		4,389,696		3,472,270

Research and development expenses, net

d. Research and development expenses, net

Research and development expenses, net for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, include participation in research and development expenses in the amount of approximately $815 thousand and approximately $458 thousand, respectively.

Newly issued accounting pronouncements

e. Newly issued accounting pronouncements

1) In February 2016, the FASB established ASC Topic 842, "Leases" (Topic 842), by issuing ASU No. 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet. Leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations. The Company adopted the new standard on April 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method and has not restated comparative periods. The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company has elected the 'package of practical expedients', which permits it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs for leases entered into prior to adoption of Topic 842.

Additionally, the Company did not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases that qualify, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, and this includes not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition. Instead, the Company will continue to recognize the lease payments for those leases in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The most significant effects of adoption relate to (1) the recognition of new ROU assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet for real estate operating leases; and (2) providing significant new disclosures about its leasing activities.
