Financial Results:

Total revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $398,000, an increase of 146% compared to $162,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2021. The change is mainly attributable to an increase in research and development (“R&D”) revenues of $210,000 and royalties of $28,000.

Operating costs and expenses were $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2022, versus $2.1 million for the corresponding three-month period of 2021. The change is mainly attributable to increases of $289,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses, $222,000 in R&D expense, and $4,000 in manufacturing expenses, offset partially by a $2,000 decrease in depreciation of tangible assets.

For the second quarter of 2022, the Company had an operating loss of $2.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.9 million for the comparable period of 2021.

Net comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 was $3.2 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, compared to net comprehensive loss of $2.5 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable period of 2021.
