NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Description of Business

Rafael Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:RFL), (“Rafael Holdings”, “we” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company with interests in clinical and early-stage pharmaceutical companies (the “Pharmaceutical Companies”), including an investment in Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Cornerstone"), formerly known as Rafael Pharmaceuticals Inc., a cancer metabolism-based therapeutics company, a majority equity interest in LipoMedix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“LipoMedix”), a clinical stage pharmaceutical company, the Barer Institute Inc. (“Barer”), a wholly-owned preclinical cancer metabolism research operation, and an investment in Cyclo Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: CYTH), (“Cyclo Therapeutics” or “Cyclo”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company dedicated to developing life-changing medicines for patients and families living with challenging diseases through its lead therapeutic asset, Trappsol^® Cyclo™. We also hold an investment in Day Three Labs, Inc. (“Day Three”), a company which reimagines existing cannabis offerings with pharmaceutical-grade technology and innovation like Unlokt™ to bring to market better, cleaner, more precise and predictable products in the cannabis industry, and a majority interest in Rafael Medical Devices, LLC, an orthopedic-focused medical device company developing instruments to advance minimally invasive surgeries (“Rafael Medical Devices” and Day Three Labs together with the Pharmaceutical Companies, represent our “Investment Companies”). In November 2022, the Company resolved to curtail its early-stage development efforts, including pre-clinical research at Barer. The decision was taken to reduce spending as the Company focuses on exploring strategic opportunities. The Company’s primary focus is to expand our investment portfolio through opportunistic and strategic investments including therapeutics which address high unmet medical needs.

Historically, the Company owned multiple real estate assets. On August 22, 2022, the Company sold the building at 520 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey that serves as headquarters for the Company and several tenants and an associated public garage (the "520 Property"). See Note 3 for further details on the sale transaction. Currently, the Company holds a portion of a commercial building in Jerusalem, Israel as its remaining real estate asset.

The Company holds debt and equity investments in Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals that includes preferred and common equity interests. On June 17, 2021, the Company entered into a merger agreement to acquire full ownership of Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals in exchange for issuing Company Class B common stock to the other stockholders of Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals ("Merger Agreement" or "Merger"). On October 28, 2021, the Company announced that the AVENGER 500 Phase 3 clinical trial for CPI-613® (devimistat), Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals’ lead product candidate, did not meet its primary endpoint of significant improvement in overall survival in patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. In addition, following a pre-specified interim analysis, the independent data monitoring committee for the ARMADA 2000 Phase 3 study for devimistat recommended the trial to be stopped due to a determination that it was unlikely to achieve the primary endpoint (the “Data Events”). In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the first quarter ended October 31, 2021, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) required that the Company assess the impact of the Data Events and determine whether the carrying values of the Company’s assets were impaired based upon the Company’s expectations to realize future value. In light of the Data Events, the Company concluded that the likelihood of further development of and prospects for CPI-613 is uncertain and fully impaired in the first quarter ended October 31, 2021 the value of its loans, receivables, and investment in Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals based upon its valuation of Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals. On February 2, 2022, the Company terminated the Merger Agreement with Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals, effective immediately, in accordance with its terms. On March 21, 2023, the Company loaned $2.0 million to Cornerstone which debt is represented by a Promissory Note made by Cornerstone (the "Promissory Note").

Cornerstone is in the process of a comprehensive restructuring transaction including, the conversion of the debt under the Line of Credit Agreement and the Promissory Note held by the Company, the conversion and modification of other Cornerstone debt obligations, the extension of the Cornerstone debt held by RP Finance, a reverse stock split, the conversion of all outstanding preferred stock of Cornerstone into common stock and the adoption of certain governance measures. This transaction is subject to a number of conditions which are beyond the Company’s control.

In May 2023, the Company first invested in Cyclo Therapeutics. Cyclo is a clinical stage biotechnology company that develops cyclodextrin-based products for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Cyclo’s lead drug candidate is Trappsol® Cyclo™ (hydroxypropyl beta cyclodextrin), a treatment for Niemann-Pick Type C disease (“NPC”). NPC is a rare and fatal autosomal recessive genetic disease resulting in disrupted cholesterol metabolism that impacts the brain, lungs, liver, spleen, and other organs. In January 2017, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to Trappsol® Cyclo™ for the treatment of NPC. Initial patient enrollment in the U.S. Phase I study commenced in September 2017, and in May 2020 Cyclo announced Top Line data showing a favorable safety and tolerability profile for Trappsol® Cyclo™ in this study. Cyclo is currently conducting a Phase 3 Clinical Trial Evaluating Trappsol® Cyclo™ in Pediatric and Adult Patients with Niemann-Pick Disease Type C1. Refer to Note 9 for more information on the Company's investments in Cyclo.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 1, 2022, the Company determined that the 520 Property met the held-for-sale criteria and the Company therefore classified the 520 Property as held-for-sale in the consolidated balance sheets at July 31, 2022. The sale of the 520 Property also represented a significant strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Therefore, the Company has classified the results of operations related to the 520 Property as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Depreciation on the 520 Property ceased on July 1, 2022, as a result of the 520 Property being classified as held-for-sale.

On August 22, 2022, Broad Atlantic completed the sale of the 520 Property for an aggregate gross purchase price of $49.4 million.

The 520 Property was encumbered by a mortgage securing a $15 million note payable which was paid off in this transaction. Refer to Note 15 for further information on the note payable. After repaying the note payable, commissions, taxes, and other related costs, the Company received a net cash amount of approximately $33 million at closing.

Discontinued operations include (i) rental and parking revenues, (ii) payroll, benefits, facility costs, real estate taxes, consulting and professional fees dedicated to the 520 Property, (iii) depreciation and amortization expenses and (iv) interest (including amortization of debt issuance costs) on the note payable on the 520 Property. The operating results of these items are presented in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The Company and its subsidiaries collectively own securities representing 51% of the outstanding capital stock of Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals and 42% of the capital stock on a fully diluted basis.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE RECEIVABLE, RELATED PARTY

On March 21, 2023, the Company loaned $2.0 million to Cornerstone which is represented by the Promissory Note made by Cornerstone. The Promissory Note, which bears interest at a rate of seven and one-half percent (7.5%) per annum, was originally due and payable on May 22, 2023. On May 22, 2023, the Promissory Note was amended to extend the maturity date to November 30, 2023 and to waive any increase in the interest rate provided for in the Promissory Note, provided that the entire principal amount and all accrued interest thereon is repaid in cash or converted into equity securities of Cornerstone no later than November 30, 2023. The Company is in the process of a comprehensive restructuring transaction with Cornerstone (refer to Note 4).

The Promissory Note is secured by a first priority security interest in all of Cornerstone’s right, title and interest in and to all of the tangible and intangible assets purchased by Cornerstone pursuant to the Purchase Agreement between Cornerstone and Calithera Biosciences, Inc. (“Calithera”), a clinical-stage, precision oncology biopharmaceutical company developing targeted therapies to redefine treatment for biomarker-specific patient populations, and all proceeds therefrom and all rights to the data related to CB-839 (the “Collateral”).

The interest on the Promissory Note accrues from the issuance date until the Promissory Note is paid in full or converted, which shall accrue on a quarterly basis. Subject to the amendment described above, in the event the total outstanding amount under the Promissory Note is not repaid by the amended maturity date, the rate of interest shall be eleven percent (11%), retroactive from and after the maturity date. Subject to the amendment described above, following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an uncured Event of Default (as defined below), the outstanding principal amount shall bear interest at the rate of fourteen percent (14%) per annum (the “Default Interest Rate”) until the earliest of (i) cure of such Event of Default, (ii) repayment of all outstanding amounts due under the Promissory Note, (iii) conversion of all then outstanding obligations under the Promissory Note, or (iv) transfer of all its rights related to the Collateral.

The entire (and not less than the entire) outstanding principal amount due under the Promissory Note together with all accrued unpaid interest thereon and other amounts owing thereunder (together, the “Owed Amount”), may, at Cornerstone’s election at any time prior to the maturity date, be converted into a number of shares (the “Conversion Shares”) calculated by dividing the entire Owed Amount by the conversion price used by Cornerstone in a Qualified Offering/Conversion (as defined in the Promissory Note), and if no such Qualified Offering/Conversion has been consummated, the fair market value for the Conversion as determined by an independent third party valuation firm (the “Conversion Price”).

The Promissory Note contains certain trigger events (as defined in the Promissory Note) that generally, if uncured within five (5) trading days, may result in an event of default in accordance with the terms of the Promissory Note (such event, an “Event of Default”). Upon an Event of a Default, the Company may consider the Promissory Note immediately due and payable. Upon an Event of Default, the interest rate may also be increased to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

The Company recorded the Promissory Note at fair value as the security is classified as available-for-sale. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded in unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains, gross unrealized holding losses, and fair value of the Promissory Note as of October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2023 are as follows:

Interest income on the Promissory Note totaled approximately $91 thousand for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and is recorded in interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 6 – INVESTMENT IN RP FINANCE, LLC

On February 3, 2020, Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals entered into a Line of Credit with RP Finance ("RPF Line of Credit") which provides a revolving commitment of up to $50,000,000 to fund clinical trials and other capital needs.

The Company owns 37.5% of the equity interests in RP Finance and is required to fund 37.5% of funding requests from Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals under the RPF Line of Credit. The Instrument owns 37.5% of the equity interests in RP Finance, and is required to fund 37.5% of funding requests from Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals under the RPF Line of Credit. The remaining 25% equity interests in RP Finance are owned by other stockholders of Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals.

Under the RPF Line of Credit, all funds borrowed will bear interest at the mid-term Applicable Federal Rate published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The maturity date is the earliest of February 3, 2025, upon a change of control of Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals or a sale of Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals or its assets. Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals can draw on the facility on 60 days’ notice. The funds borrowed under the RPF Line of Credit must be repaid out of certain proceeds from equity sales by Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals.

In connection with entering into the RPF Line of Credit, Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals agreed to issue to RP Finance shares of its common stock representing 12% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals common stock, with such interest subject to anti-dilution protection as set forth in the RPF Line of Credit.

The Company has determined that RP Finance is a VIE; however, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of RP Finance that most significantly impact RP Finance’s economic performance and, therefore, is not required to consolidate RP Finance. Therefore, the Company will use the equity method of accounting to record its investment in RP Finance. As of October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2023, the equity method investment on the Company's balance sheet was $0, and no additional equity loss or earnings have been recognized for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022. The assets and operations of RP Finance are not significant and the Company has identified the equity investment in RP Finance as a related party transaction (see Note 16).

As of October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2023, the Company has funded a cumulative total of $9.375 million in accordance with its 37.5% ownership interests in RP Finance. The amounts funded have been fully reserved as of October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2023.

NOTE 7 – INVESTMENT IN LIPOMEDIX PHARMACEUTICALS LTD.

LipoMedix is a development-stage, privately held Israeli company focused on the development of an innovative, safe and effective cancer therapy based on liposome delivery.

As of October 31, 2023, the Company held 95% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of LipoMedix and has consolidated this investment from the second quarter of fiscal 2018.

In March 2021, the Company provided bridge financing in the principal amount of up to $400,000 to LipoMedix with a maturity date of September 1, 2021, and an interest rate of 8% per annum. As of September 1, 2021, LipoMedix was in default on the terms of the loan and as such, the interest rate has increased to 15% per annum.

On November 15, 2021, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with LipoMedix to purchase up to 15,975,000 ordinary shares at $0.1878 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 million (the “LipoMedix SPA”). Additionally, LipoMedix issued the Company a warrant to purchase up to 15,975,000 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.1878 per share which expired on November 11, 2022.

As of the date of the LipoMedix SPA, there was an outstanding loan balance including principal of $400 thousand and accrued interest of $21.8 thousand owed by LipoMedix to the Company on a note made by LipoMedix in favor of the Company issued in March 2021. The amount due on the loan was netted against the approximately $3.0 million aggregate purchase price due to LipoMedix, resulting in a cash payment by the Company of approximately $2.6 million in exchange for the 15,975,000 shares purchased. As a result of the share purchase, the Company’s ownership of LipoMedix increased to approximately 84% with a noncontrolling interest of approximately 16%. The Company recorded approximately $8 thousand to adjust the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest to reflect the Company’s increased ownership interest in LipoMedix’s net assets.

On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with LipoMedix to purchase 70,000,000 ordinary shares at $0.03 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $2.1 million (the "2023 LipoMedix SPA”).

The Company recorded approximately $16 thousand to adjust the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest to reflect the Company’s increased ownership interest in LipoMedix’s net assets.

NOTE 8 – INVESTMENT IN DAY THREE LABS INC.

On April 7, 2023, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Day Three Purchase Agreement”) with Day Three. Day Three is a company which reimagines existing cannabis offerings with pharmaceutical-grade technology and innovation like Unlokt™ to bring to market better, cleaner, more precise and predictable products in the cannabis industry. Pursuant to the Day Three Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased 4,302,224 shares of common stock representing 38% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Day Three (33.333% on a fully diluted basis), for a purchase price of $3.0 million. The Company also received a warrant exercisable for 7,528,893 shares of common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 million, which expires five years from the date of issuance or earlier based on the occurrence of certain events as defined in the Day Three Purchase Agreement. As of the filing date of this report, the Company had not exercised the warrant.

The Company has accounted for this investment as an equity method investment in accordance with the guidance in ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company determined that a 38% ownership interest in Day Three and its right to designate two members of the Board of Directors of Day Three (out of a current total of seven members) indicates that the Company is able to exercise significant influence. Upon exercise of the warrant, the Company will have the right to appoint a third member of the Day Three Board of Directors.

The Company has determined that Day Three is a VIE; however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Day Three’s economic performance. The Company has therefore concluded it is not required to consolidate Day Three. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to record its investment in Day Three.

Day Three’s fiscal year ends on December 31, and as a result, the Company will recognize its share of Day Three’s earnings/loss on a one-month lag. For the three months ended October 31, 2023, the Company recognized approximately $216 thousand of equity in loss of Day Three, based on its proportionate share of Day Three’s results through September 30, 2023. The assets and operations of Day Three are not significant to the Company's assets or operations.

On October 10, 2023, the Company entered into a Promissory Note (the "Day Three Note") with Day Three for $250,000. The Day Three Note accrues interest at 5.01% per annum and matures on January 8, 2024. The principal balance of $250,000 is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets at October 31, 2023.

Subsequent to quarter end, on November 30, 2023, the Company advanced another $150,000 to Day Three pursuant to a second Promissory Note (the "Day Three Note II") made by Day Three. The Day Three Note II accrues interest at 5.17% per annum and matures on January 8, 2024.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a listing of the Company’s assets required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and where they are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of October 31, 2023 and July 31, 2023:

As of October 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

NOTE 12 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Other property and equipment consist of other equipment and miscellaneous computer hardware. 

Depreciation expense pertaining to property and equipment was approximately $17 thousand and $22 thousand for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 14 – LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to all classes of common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, unvested restricted stock, warrants to purchase common stock, and other convertible instruments unless the result of inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The securities set forth in the table below have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 because inclusion of all such securities would have been anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

The following table summarizes the Company’s potentially dilutive securities which have been excluded from the calculation of dilutive loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive:

The diluted loss per share computation equals basic loss per share for the three months ended October 31, 2023 and 2022 because the Company had a net loss from continuing operations in all such periods and the impact of the assumed vesting of restricted shares, and exercise of stock options, and warrants would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted loss per share calculations (in thousands, except for share and per share amounts):

NOTE 15 – NOTE PAYABLE, HELD-FOR-SALE

On July 9, 2021, the Company, as guarantor, Rafael Holdings Realty, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Realty”), as pledgor, and Broad-Atlantic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Realty (the “Borrower,” and together with the Company and Realty, the “Borrower Parties”), as borrower, entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with 520 Broad Street LLC, a third-party lender (the “Lender”). The Loan Agreement provided for a loan in the amount of $15 million (the “Note Payable”) from Lender to Borrower secured by (i) a first mortgage on 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey 07102; and (ii) a first priority security interest in the equity of the Borrower as set forth in the Pledge and Security Agreement between Realty and Lender.

The Note Payable bore interest at a rate per annum equal to seven and one-quarter percent (7.25%) from July 9, 2021 through July 31, 2021 and thereafter at an interest rate per annum equal to the 30-day LIBOR Rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus 6.90% per annum, but in no event less than seven and one-quarter percent (7.25%) per annum. The Note Payable was due on August 1, 2022, subject to the Company’s option to extend the maturity date until August 1, 2023 for a fee equal to three-quarters of one percent (0.75%) of the Note Payable.

The Loan Agreement contained customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, including covenants and restrictions that, among other things, restricted the Borrower’s ability to incur liens, or transfer, lease or sell the collateral as defined in the Loan Agreement. A failure to comply with these covenants would have permitted the Lender to declare the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with the covenants in the Loan Agreement as of July 31, 2022. The Company extended the maturity date to November 1, 2022 and paid an extension fee of $37,500 on July 29, 2022.

In April 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”) authorizing the repurchase of up to $5 million of the Company’s Class B common stock. Under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program, which took effect on April 14, 2023, the Company may purchase its shares from time to time until the earlier of June 16, 2023 (the “Plan Termination Date”) or when $5 million worth of shares at $1.75 per share or below have been purchased. In July 2023, the 2023 Share Repurchase Program was amended to extend the Plan Termination Date to the earlier of July 1, 2024, or when $5 million worth of shares at $1.75 per share or below have been purchased.

The timing and amount of any share repurchases under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program will be determined at the Company's discretion and based on market conditions and other considerations. Share repurchases under the authorizations may be made through open market purchases or pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its Class B common stock, and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

During the three months ended October 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 50,700 of its Class B common stock for a total cost of $79 thousand under the Share Repurchase Program.
