Management and Operational Risks - The company has five full-time employees and competes for talent with other biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms [73]. - The company is highly dependent on its current senior management, including CEO Jeffrey A. Meckler, CSO Michael J. Newman, and CMO Boyan Litchev, which poses a risk to its ability to develop or commercialize product candidates if key personnel are lost [154]. - The company faces significant competition for qualified personnel, and failure to attract or retain key employees could materially affect its business and operational goals [155]. - The company is a pre-clinical-stage biotechnology firm and will need to expand its organization and improve management systems to support future growth, which may significantly increase expenses [157]. - The company relies on third parties for conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, and any failure on their part could substantially harm the company's business [93]. - The company does not have internal manufacturing capabilities and relies on third-party manufacturers, which could lead to delays in clinical trials if there are disruptions in supply [168]. - The company may encounter difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions, impacting global competitiveness [196]. Market and Economic Factors - The ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has created economic uncertainty and market volatility, impacting the company's ability to secure additional funding [199]. - The market price of the company's common stock has been volatile, influenced by various factors including clinical trial approvals and regulatory announcements [200]. - The company is subject to risks related to the volatility of the biotechnology market, which may not correlate with its actual operating performance [203]. - The company may face increased legal and financial compliance costs due to public company regulations, which could affect net income [212]. - Sales of a substantial number of shares by existing shareholders could depress the market price of the company's securities [215]. - Intec Israel is classified as a smaller reporting company with a public float market value of less than $250 million, which may make its shares less attractive to investors [218].
