NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Rafael Holdings, Inc. (“Rafael Holdings” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, owns interests in pre-clinical and clinical stage pharmaceutical companies and commercial real estate assets. The assets are operated as two separate lines of business.

The pharmaceutical holdings include preferred and common equity interests and a warrant to purchase additional equity interests in Rafael Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Rafael Pharmaceuticals, which is a clinical stage, oncology-focused pharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of therapies that exploit the metabolic differences between normal cells and cancer cells; and, a majority equity interest in LipoMedix Pharmaceuticals Ltd., or LipoMedix, a clinical stage oncological pharmaceutical company based in Israel. In addition, in 2019, the Company established the Barer Institute (“Barer”), a wholly-owned early stage venture focused on developing a pipeline of therapeutic compounds, including compounds to regulate cancer metabolism. The venture is pursuing collaborative research agreements with leading scientists from top academic institutions. In addition, the Company has recently initiated efforts to develop other early stage pharmaceutical ventures including Levco Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (“Levco”), an Israeli company, established to partner with Dr. Alberto Gabizon and a top institution in Israel on the development of novel compounds for cancer, and Farber Partners, LLC (“Farber”), formed around an agreement with Princeton University’s Office of Technology Licensing for technology from the laboratory of Professor Joshua Rabinowitz, in the Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, for an exclusive worldwide license to its SHMT (serine hydroxymethyltransferase) inhibitor program. Additionally, in 2021, the Company established Rafael Medical Devices, LLC (“Rafael Medical Devices”), a wholly-owned orthopedic device company developing instruments and implants to advance minimally invasive surgeries in the upper and lower extremities.

The commercial real estate holdings consist of a building at 520 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey that serves as headquarters for the Company and certain other entities and hosts other tenants and an associated 800-car public garage, and a portion of a building in Israel. In August 2020, the Company sold an office/data center building in Piscataway, New Jersey, which was classified as held for sale at July 31, 2020.

The “Company” in these consolidated financial statements refers to Rafael Holdings on a consolidated basis. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

All majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated with all intercompany transactions and balances eliminated in consolidation or combination. The entities included in these consolidated financial statements are as follows:

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on July 31 of each calendar year. Each reference below to a fiscal year refers to the fiscal year ending in the calendar year indicated (e.g., fiscal 2020 refers to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020).

Operating results for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2021. The balance sheet at July 31, 2020 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2020, or the 2020 Form 10-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Liquidity

Management believes that its cash on hand, planned forecast, and expected ability to meet its obligations alleviates the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. The Company has no outstanding long term debt due within 12 months and has cash reserves which will enable it to meet obligations for over a year, without attempt to monetize assets via increasing building occupancy or selling assets. The Company can liquidate its investments in hedge funds to generate cash if needed, and the Company could consider alternative sources of funding if necessary.

Risks and Uncertainties - COVID-19

In December 2019, a new coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, which has proved to be highly contagious, has since spread around the globe. The Company actively monitors the outbreak and its potential impact on its operations and those of the Company’s holdings.

The impacts on the Company’s and its affiliates’ operations and specifically the ongoing clinical trials of the Company’s pharmaceutical holdings have been actively managed by respective pharmaceutical management teams who have worked closely with the appropriate regulatory agencies to continue clinical trial activities with as minimal impact as possible including receiving waivers for certain clinical trial activities from the respective regulatory agencies to continue the studies.

Although partially mitigated recently, there remains a general degree of uncertainty in the national commercial real estate market based on the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result there remains a potential impact to the value of the Company’s real estate portfolio as well as efforts to monetize those assets.

(Unaudited)

The Company has implemented a number of measures to protect the health and safety of the Company’s workforce including a voluntary work-from-home policy for the Company’s workforce who can perform their jobs from home as well as restrictions on business travel.

Due to both known and unknown risks, including quarantines, closures and other restrictions resulting from the outbreak, operations and those of the Company’s holdings may be adversely impacted. Additionally, as there is an evolving nature to the COVID-19 situation, the Company cannot reasonably assess or predict at this time the full extent of the negative impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The impact will depend on future developments such as the ultimate duration and the severity of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. and globally, the effectiveness of federal, state, local and foreign government actions on mitigation and spread of COVID-19, the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies, changes in the Company’s customers’ behavior emanating from the pandemic and how quickly the Company can resume our normal operations, among others. For all these reasons, the Company may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of the Company’s control, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

Investments

The method of accounting applied to long-term investments, whether consolidated, equity or cost, involves an evaluation of the significant terms of each investment that explicitly grant or suggest evidence of control or influence over the operations of the investee and also includes the identification of any variable interests in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The consolidated financial statements include the Company’s controlled affiliates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the consolidated affiliates are eliminated.

Investments in businesses that the Company does not control, but in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters, are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the cost method. The Company periodically evaluates its investments for impairment due to declines considered to be other than temporary. If the Company determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, then a charge to earnings is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, and a new basis in the investment is established.

Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, the Company assesses whether it has a variable interest in legal entities in which it has a financial relationship and, if so, whether or not those entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). For those entities that qualify as VIEs, ASC 810 requires the Company to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and if so, to consolidate the VIE.

If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and economics. The Company consolidates a VIE if both power and benefits belong to the Company – that is, the Company (i) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance (power), and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (benefits). The Company consolidates VIEs whenever it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Cost Method Investments - Rafael Pharmaceuticals (see Note 3) 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 Rafael Pharmaceuticals that most significantly impact Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ economic performance. Cost method investments are presented as “Investments - Rafael Pharmaceuticals.”

Equity Method Investments - RP Finance, LLC (“RP Finance”) (see Note 5), has been identified as 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. The Company accounts for its investment in RP Finance using the equity method of accounting.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies the five-step approach as described in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which consists of the following: (i) identifying the contract with a customer, (ii) identifying the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company disaggregates its revenue by source within its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As an owner and operator of real estate, the Company derives the majority of its revenue from leasing office and parking space to tenants at its properties. In addition, the Company earns revenue from recoveries from tenants, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs. Revenue from recoveries from tenants is recorded together with rental income on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss which is also consistent with the guidance under ASC 842, Leases.

Contractual rental revenue is reported on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Accrued rental income, included within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, represents cumulative rental income earned in excess of rent payments received pursuant to the terms of the individual lease agreements.

The Company also earns revenue from parking which is derived primarily from monthly and transient daily parking. The monthly and transient daily parking revenue falls within the scope of ASC 606 and is accounted for at the point in time when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer and the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, consistent with the Company’s previous accounting.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants to make required rent payments or parking customers to pay amounts due.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs and expenses incurred by consolidated entities consist primarily of salaries and related personnel expenses, stock-based compensation, fees paid to external service providers, laboratory supplies, costs for facilities and equipment, license costs, and other costs for research and development activities. Research and development expenses are recorded in operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Estimates have been used in determining the liability for certain costs where services have been performed but not yet invoiced. The Company monitors levels of performance under each significant contract for external service providers, including the extent of patient enrollment and other activities through communications with the service providers to reflect the actual amount expended.

Contingent milestone payments associated with acquiring rights to intellectual property are recognized when probable and estimable. These amounts are expensed to research and development when there is no alternative future use associated with the intellectual property.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, that changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For receivables, loans and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to current practice, except the losses will be recognized as allowances instead of reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. In addition, an entity will have to disclose significantly more information about allowances, credit quality indicators and past due securities. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of the new standard on its consolidated financial statements and intends to adopt the standard on August 1, 2023.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT IN RAFAEL PHARMACEUTICALS

Rafael Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage, oncology-focused pharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of therapies that exploit the metabolic differences between normal cells and cancer cells.

The Company owns equity interests and rights in Rafael Pharmaceuticals through a 90%-owned non-operating subsidiary, Pharma Holdings, LLC, or Pharma Holdings.

Pharma Holdings owns 50% of CS Pharma Holdings, LLC, or CS Pharma, a non-operating entity that owns equity interests in Rafael Pharmaceuticals. Accordingly, the Company holds an effective 45% indirect interest in the assets held by CS Pharma.

A trust for the benefit of the children of Howard Jonas (Chairman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company and former Chairman of the Board of Rafael Pharmaceuticals) holds a financial instrument (the “Instrument”) that owns 10% of Pharma Holdings.

Pharma Holdings holds 36.7 million shares of Rafael Pharmaceuticals Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and a warrant to increase the combined ownership of Pharma Holdings and CS Pharma to up to 56% of the fully diluted equity interests in Rafael Pharmaceuticals (the “Warrant”). The Warrant is exercisable at the lower of 70% of the price sold in an equity financing, or $1.25 per share, subject to certain adjustments.

On March 25, 2020, the Board of Directors of Rafael Pharmaceuticals extended the expiration date of the Warrant held by Pharma Holdings to purchase shares of the Warrant from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 and on August 31, 2020, the Board of Directors of Rafael Pharmaceuticals further extended the expiration date of the Warrant held by Pharma Holdings, LLC to purchase shares of the Warrant to August 15, 2021.

Pharma Holdings also holds certain governance rights in Rafael Pharmaceuticals including appointment of directors.

CS Pharma holds 16.7 million shares of Rafael Pharmaceuticals Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. CS Pharma owned a $10 million Series D Convertible Note, with 3.5% interest, in Rafael Pharmaceuticals which was converted in January 2019.

The Company and its subsidiaries collectively own securities representing 51% of the outstanding capital stock of Rafael Pharmaceuticals and 41% of the capital stock on a fully diluted basis (excluding the remainder of the Warrant).

The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1.25 per share (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any stock split, combination, reclassification or reorganization of the Series D Preferred Stock or any dilutive issuances, as described below). Holders of Series D Stock are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends when, as and if declared by the board of Rafael Pharmaceuticals, prior to any dividends to any other class of capital stock of Rafael Pharmaceuticals. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, or in the event of any deemed liquidation, proceeds from such liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall be distributed first to the holders of Series D Stock. Except with respect to certain major decisions, or as required by law, holders of Series D Stock vote together with the holders of the other preferred stock and common stock and not as a separate class.

The Company serves as the managing member of Pharma Holdings, and Pharma Holdings serves as the managing member of CS Pharma, with broad authority to make all key decisions regarding their respective holdings. Any distributions that are made to CS Pharma from Rafael Pharmaceuticals that are in turn distributed by CS Pharma, will need to be made pro rata to all members, which would entitle Pharma Holdings to 50% (based on current ownership) of such distributions. Similarly, if Pharma Holdings were to distribute proceeds it receives from CS Pharma, it would do so on a pro rata basis, entitling the Company to 90% (based on current ownership) of such distributions.

The Company evaluated its investments in Rafael Pharmaceuticals in accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, to establish the appropriate accounting treatment for its investment and has concluded that its investment did not meet the criteria for the equity method of accounting or consolidation and is carried at cost.

Rafael Pharmaceuticals is a VIE; however, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary as it does not have the power to direct the activities of Rafael Pharmaceuticals that most significantly impact Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ economic performance. In addition, the interests held in Rafael Pharmaceuticals are Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and do not represent in-substance common stock.

The Instrument has additional contractual rights to receive additional Rafael Pharmaceuticals shares (“Bonus Shares”) for an additional 10% of the fully diluted capital stock of Rafael Pharmaceuticals upon the achievement of certain milestones. The additional 10% is based on the fully diluted capital stock of Rafael Pharmaceuticals, excluding the remainder for the Warrant, at the time of issuance. If any of the milestones are met, the Bonus Shares are to be issued without any additional payment.

Pharma Holdings holds the Warrant to purchase a significant stake in Rafael Pharmaceuticals, as well as other equity and governance rights in Rafael Pharmaceuticals. The Company currently owns 51% of the issued and outstanding equity in Rafael Pharmaceuticals. Approximately 8% of the issued and outstanding equity is owned by the Company’s subsidiary CS Pharma and 43% is held by the Company’s subsidiary Pharma Holdings. The Company’s subsidiary Pharma Holdings holds the Warrant, which is non-dilutable and provides for the Company to increase its (via Pharma Holdings and CS Pharma and inclusive of the interests held by the other owners of those entities) total ownership to 56%. Based on the current shares issued and outstanding of Rafael Pharmaceuticals as of April 30, 2021, the Company, and the Company’s affiliates, would need to pay approximately $17 million to exercise the Warrant in full to 56%. On an as-converted fully diluted basis (for all convertible securities of Rafael Pharmaceuticals outstanding), the Company and the Company’s affiliates would need to pay approximately $126 million to exercise the Warrant in full (including to offset the impact of additional issuances of Rafael Pharmaceuticals equity under the Line of Credit). The Instrument holds 10% of the interest in Pharma Holdings and would need to contribute 10% of any cash necessary to exercise any portion of the Warrant. Following any exercise, a portion of the Company’s interest in Rafael Pharmaceuticals would continue to be held for the benefit of the other equity holders in Pharma Holdings and CS Pharma. Given the Company’s anticipated available cash, the Company would not be able to exercise the Warrant in its entirety and the Company may never be able to exercise the Warrant in full. Rafael Pharmaceuticals may also issue additional equity interests, such as employee stock options, which will require the Company to pay additional cash to maintain the Company’s ownership percentage or exercise the Warrant in full.

On January 28, 2021, Pharma Holdings partially exercised the Warrant to maintain the 51% ownership percentage and purchased 7.3 million shares of Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ Series D Preferred Stock for $9.1 million, of which $0.9 million was contributed by the holder of a minority interest in Pharma Holdings.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT IN ALTIRA

The Company entered into its first Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) on May 13, 2020 with a member (the “First Seller”) of Altira Capital & Consulting, LLC (“Altira”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on May 13, 2020, the First Seller sold the economic rights related to a 33.333% membership interest in Altira to the Company and in effect the Company purchased the potential right to receive a 1% royalty on Net Sales (as defined in the Royalty Agreement between Altira and Rafael Pharmaceutical) on sales of certain Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ products. The purchase consideration for the purchase of the membership interest consists of 1) $1,000,000 that was payable in four equal monthly installments of $250,000 each; 2) $3,000,000 payable on January 3, 2021; 3) $3,000,000 due within fifteen (15) days of interim data analysis in Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ Phase 3 pivotal trial (AVENGER 500®) of CPI-613® (devimistat); and 4) $3,000,000 which is due within one-hundred and twenty (120) days from the date that Rafael Pharmaceuticals files a new drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for approval of devimistat (CPI-613) as a first in-line therapy for pancreatic cancer, as defined in the Purchase Agreement. The post-closing payments are to be made to the First Seller, at the Company’s discretion, in cash or shares of the Company’s Class B common stock based on the 10 days average share price of the Company’s Class B common stock prior to the date of payment or any combination thereof.

The Company has accounted for the purchase of the 33.333% membership interest in Altira as an equity method investment in accordance with the guidance in ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company determined that a 33.333% membership interest in Altira indicates that the Company is able to exercise significant influence over Altira, and the Company’s membership interest is considered to be “more than minor” in accordance with the guidance. The cost of the investment was determined to be $4,000,000 pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The contingent consideration, as described within the Purchase Agreement, in the amount of $6,000,000, will be recognized when the payments are considered probable.

For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2020, the Company determined that the investment in Altira was fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $4,000,000, which was the total amount of the Company’s investment recognized for the Purchase Agreement as of July 31, 2020.

On December 7, 2020, the Company purchased an additional 33.333% of membership interests in Altira, pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Second Altira Agreement”) between the Company and another Altira member, (the “Second Seller”). With this transaction, the Company now owns a right to an aggregate 66.666% of the membership interests in Altira. Pursuant to the Second Altira Agreement, on December 7, 2020, the Second Seller sold his economic rights related to a 33.333% membership interest in Altira to the Company and in effect the Company purchased the potential right to receive an additional 1% royalty on Net Sales (as defined in the Royalty Agreement between Altira and Rafael Pharmaceuticals) on sales of certain Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ products. The purchase consideration for the purchase of the Membership Interest consists of 1) $1,000,000 that was payable monthly in four equal monthly installments of $250,000 each, commencing on January 4, 2021; 2) $3,000,000 payable on January 4, 2021; 3) $3,000,000 due within fifteen (15) days of the earlier to occur of either the completion of Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ Phase III pivotal trial (AVENGER 500®) of CPI-613® (devimistat) or May 31, 2021 and not before January 4, 2021; and 4) $3,000,000 which is due within one-hundred and twenty (120) days from the date that Rafael Pharmaceuticals files a new drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for approval of devimistat (CPI-613) as a first in-line therapy for pancreatic cancer, as defined in the Purchase Agreement.

Certain of the post-closing payments may be made, at the Company’s discretion, in cash or shares of the Company’s Class B common stock based on the 10-day average share price of the Company’s Class B common stock prior to the date of payment or any combination thereof.

The purchase of the additional membership interests was accounted for as an asset acquisition, as Altira is not considered a business in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The membership interests acquired do not consist of inputs, processes, and are not generating outputs, as required in ASC 805 to qualify as a business, and is therefore accounted for as an asset acquisition. Although this transaction is considered an asset acquisition, there are no assets or liabilities to be recorded as of the acquisition date as Altira does not have any business operations. The cost of the investment was determined to be $7,000,000 pursuant to the terms of the Second Altira Agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

For the nine months ended April 30, 2021, the Company determined that the additional purchase of the membership interests in Altira was fully impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $7,000,000, which was the total amount of the Company’s investment recognized for the Second Altira Agreement as of April 30, 2021.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2021, the Company issued 129,620 shares of Class B Common Stock totaling $3,500,000 to the First Seller for the Purchase Agreement.

Additionally, the Company issued 101,844 shares of Class B Common Stock totaling $2,750,000 to the Second Seller, and cash payments totaling $1,250,000 during the nine months ended April 30, 2021. The remaining payment due to the Second Seller, which is the contingent consideration as described within the Second Altira Agreement, of $3,000,000 is recorded as a current liability. The contingent consideration will be recognized when the payments are considered probable.

The assets and operations of Altira are not significant.

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENT IN RP FINANCE, LLC

On February 3, 2020, Rafael Pharmaceuticals entered into a Line of Credit Loan Agreement (“Line of Credit Agreement”) with RP Finance 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 Rafael Pharmaceuticals under the Line of Credit Agreement. The Instrument owns 37.5% of the equity interests in RP Finance, and is required to fund 37.5% of funding requests from Rafael Pharmaceuticals under the Line of Credit Agreement.

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

RP Finance has been identified as 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 the Company’s investment in RP Finance. The Company has recognized approximately $96 thousand and $53 thousand in income from its ownership interests of 37.5% in RP Finance for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $288 thousand and $53 thousand in income from its ownership interests of 37.5% in RP Finance for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 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 11).

In August 2020, Rafael Pharmaceuticals called for a $5 million draw on the line of credit facility and the facility was funded by RP Finance LLC in the amount of $5 million, paid in parts in August and September 2020. In November 2020, Rafael Pharmaceuticals called for a second $5 million draw on the line of credit facility and the facility was funded by RP Finance in the amount of $5 million.

NOTE 7 – 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:

●

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

●

Level 2 - quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability; or

●

Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.

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 table summarizes the changes in the fair value of the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Liquidation of Hedge Fund Investments		(2,000	)		—
Total gain included in earnings		4,171			492
Balance, end of period	$	9,681		$	5,617

Hedge funds classified as Level 3 include investments and securities which may not be based on readily observable data inputs. The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. The fair value of these assets is estimated based on information provided by the fund managers or the general partners. Therefore, these assets are classified as Level 3. In October 2020, the Company received a $2 million distribution of the Company’s investments in Hedge Funds.

The Company holds $0.5 million in investments in securities in another entity that are not liquid, which were included in Investments - Other Pharmaceuticals in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The investment is accounted for under ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, using the measurement alternative as defined within the guidance, and the Company recorded an impairment loss of $0.7 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments was determined using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting these data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.

Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and accounts payable. At April 30, 2021 and July 31, 2020, the carrying amount of these assets and liabilities approximated fair value because of the short period of time to maturity. The fair value estimates for cash and cash equivalents were classified as Level 1.

NOTE 10 – LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net 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 shares includes potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, warrants to purchase common stock, and other convertible instruments unless the result of inclusion would be anti-dilutive. These securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per shares for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 because all such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

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

	Three months ended April 30,				Nine months ended April 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options		689,210		580,874		689,210		580,874
Shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase Class B common stock		26,189		—		26,189		—

The diluted loss per share computation equals basic loss per share for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020 because the Company had a net loss and the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

At April 30, 2021, the Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards from domestic operations of approximately $44 million, to offset future taxable income. The Company has state NOLs of $27 million. The Company has NOLs from foreign operations of $3 million.

The federal NOL carryforwards generated prior to 2018 will begin to expire in 2026. The state NOLs will begin to expire in 2038 and foreign NOLs do not expire.

The Company anticipates that its assumptions and estimates may change as a result of future guidance and interpretation from the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, the FASB, and various other taxing jurisdictions. In particular, the Company anticipates that the U.S. state jurisdictions will continue to determine and announce their conformity with or decoupling from the Tax Act, either in its entirety or with respect to specific provisions. Legislative and interpretive actions could result in adjustments to the Company’s balances.

NOTE 13 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company conducts business as two operating segments, Pharmaceuticals and Real Estate. The Company’s reportable segments are distinguished by types of service, customers and methods used to provide their services. The operating results of these business segments are regularly reviewed by the Company’s CEO and chief operating decision-maker.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the accounting policies of the Company as a whole. The Company evaluates the performance of its Pharmaceuticals segment based primarily on research and development efforts and results of clinical trials and the Real Estate segment based primarily on results of operations. All investments in Rafael Pharmaceuticals and assets and expenses associated with LipoMedix, Barer, Levco, Farber, and Rafael Medical Devices are tracked separately in the Pharmaceuticals segment. All corporate costs are allocated to the Real Estate segment.

The Pharmaceuticals segment is comprised of preferred and common equity interests and the Warrant to purchase equity interests in Rafael Pharmaceuticals, a majority equity interest in LipoMedix, Barer, Levco, Farber, and Rafael Medical Devices. To date, the Pharmaceuticals segment has not generated any revenues.

The Real Estate segment consists of the Company’s real estate holdings, including a building at 520 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey that houses headquarters for the Company and certain affiliates and its associated public garage and a portion of an office building in Israel.

In August 2020, the Company sold a 3-story, 65,253 square foot office building located at 225 Old New Brunswick Road in Piscataway, New Jersey to 225 ONBR, LLC, an entity unaffiliated with the Company. The purchase price was $3,875,000 and, after transfer taxes and broker’s commission, the Company received $3,658,000 in cash. At July 31, 2020, the building was classified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet.

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

On September 17, 2018, LipoMedix was notified of a claim initiated by one of its founders seeking payment of consulting fees in the amount of approximately $377,000 and seeking to place restrictions on LipoMedix’s bank accounts and other assets to protect his claim. LipoMedix did not believe that the individual had the right to receive any payment at the current time. LipoMedix responded to the demand for the placement of restrictions on its assets. In May 2019, LipoMedix received a letter from the other founder requesting payment of his consulting fees. On July 15, 2019, the parties settled the matters and the two founders will be paid a percentage of future investments and certain other proceeds.

On July 12, 2019, the Company received a Citation and Notification of Penalty from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor, or OSHA, related to an OSHA inspection of 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey. The citation seeks to impose penalties related to alleged violations of the Occupation Safety and Health Act of 1970 at 520 Broad Street. On July 31, 2019, the Company filed a Notice of Contest with OSHA contesting the citation in its entirety. On February 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with OSHA, as related to the citation received on July 12, 2019. As part of the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a penalty of $127,294 in eight quarterly installment payments through November 2021, which the Company accrued for and has an outstanding balance of approximately $32,000 as of April 30, 2021. As the Company accounts for contingencies when a loss is considered probable and can be reasonably estimated, the accrued balance is for legal fees and losses believed to be both probable and reasonably estimable, but an exposure to additional loss may exist in excess of the amount accrued.

On December 31, 2019, an employee of the Company filed a complaint in connection with the incident that led to the OSHA inspection noted above for personal injuries against the Company and other parties in the New Jersey Supreme Court for an incident that took place on January 31, 2019 at 520 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter. The loss is considered remote and no accrual has been recorded.

The Company may from time to time be subject to legal proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, other than noted above, the Company does not expect any of those legal proceedings to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We own interests in pre-clinical and clinical stage pharmaceutical companies and commercial real estate assets. The assets are operated as two separate lines of business.

The pharmaceutical holdings include preferred and common equity interests and a warrant to purchase additional equity interests in Rafael Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Rafael Pharmaceuticals, which is a clinical stage, oncology-focused pharmaceutical company committed to the development and commercialization of therapies that exploit the metabolic differences between normal cells and cancer cells; and, a majority equity interest in LipoMedix Pharmaceuticals Ltd., or LipoMedix, a clinical stage oncological pharmaceutical company based in Israel. In addition, in 2019, we established the Barer Institute (“Barer”), a wholly-owned early stage venture focused on developing a pipeline of therapeutic compounds, including compounds to regulate cancer metabolism. The venture is pursuing collaborative research agreements with leading scientists from top academic institutions. In addition, we have recently initiated efforts to develop other early stage pharmaceutical ventures including Levco, an Israeli company, established to partner with Dr. Alberto Gabizon and a top institution in Israel on the development of novel compounds for cancer, and Farber Partners, formed around an agreement with Princeton University’s Office of Technology Licensing for technology from the laboratory of Professor Joshua Rabinowitz, in the Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, for an exclusive worldwide license to its SHMT (serine hydroxymethyltransferase) inhibitor program. Additionally, in 2021, we established Rafael Medical Devices, a wholly-owned orthopedic device company developing instruments and implants to advance minimally invasive surgeries in the upper and lower extremities.

The commercial real estate holdings consist of a building at 520 Broad Street in Newark, New Jersey that serves as headquarters for the Company and certain other entities and hosts other tenants and an associated 800-car public garage, and a portion of a building in Israel. In August 2020, we sold an office/data center building in Piscataway, New Jersey, which was classified as held for sale at July 31, 2020.

Business Update - COVID-19

In December 2019, a new coronavirus, now known as COVID-19, which has proved to be highly contagious, has since spread around the globe. We actively monitor the outbreak and its potential impact on our operations and those of our holdings.

The impacts on our and our affiliates’ operations and specifically the ongoing clinical trials of our pharmaceutical holdings have been actively managed by respective pharmaceutical management teams who have worked closely with the appropriate regulatory agencies to continue clinical trial activities with as minimal impact as possible including receiving waivers for certain clinical trial activities from the respective regulatory agencies to continue the studies.

Although partially mitigated recently, there remains a general degree of uncertainty in the national commercial real estate market based on the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result there remains a potential impact to the value of our real estate portfolio as well as efforts to monetize those assets.

We have implemented a number of measures to protect the health and safety of our workforce including a voluntary work-from-home policy for our workforce who can perform their jobs from home as well as restrictions on business travel.

Due to both known and unknown risks, including quarantines, closures and other restrictions resulting from the outbreak, operations and those of our holdings may be adversely impacted. Additionally, as there is an evolving nature to the COVID-19 situation, we cannot reasonably assess or predict at this time the full extent of the negative impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The impact will depend on future developments such as the ultimate duration and the severity of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. and globally, the effectiveness of federal, state, local and foreign government actions on mitigation and spread of COVID-19, the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies, changes in our customers’ behavior emanating from the pandemic and how quickly we can resume our normal operations, among others. For all these reasons, we may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of our control, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Results of Operations

Our business consists of two reportable segments - Pharmaceuticals and Real Estate. We evaluate the performance of our Pharmaceuticals segment based primarily on research and development efforts and results of clinical trials and our Real Estate segment based primarily on results of operations. Accordingly, the income and expense line items below loss from operations are only included in the discussion of consolidated results of operations.

Research and development increased for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021 compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 due to increased Barer, Levco, Farber, and Rafael Medical Devices activity. We recorded an impairment expense of $7.0 million related to our purchase of a 33.333% membership interest in Altira for the nine months ended April 30, 2021. As of April 30, 2021 and 2020, we held a 68% and 58% interest, respectively, in LipoMedix, a 95% and 0% interest in Levco, respectively, and a 93% and 0% interest in Farber, respectively. We consolidated our majority interests in Lipomedix, Levco, and Farber.

Revenues. Rental and Parking revenues decreased by approximately $234 thousand and $668 thousand for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021 compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 primarily due to the sale of the building in Piscataway and the related reduced rental income, in addition to the decrease in parking as many customers who were utilizing the parking garage are now working from home due to COVID-19.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist mainly of payroll, benefits, facilities, consulting and professional fees. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021 compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 is primarily due to increased insurance, payroll, and real estate tax costs.

Depreciation expenses. Depreciation expenses decreased for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021 as compared to the three and nine months ended April 30, 2020 due to the sale of the building in Piscataway, New Jersey.

Net loss attributable to Rafael Holdings, Inc.	$	(12,164	)	$	(5,010	)	$	(7,154	)		(143	)%

Interest expense, net. Interest expense, net was $(1) thousand for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and $0 for the three months ended April 30, 2020. The reduction of interest income is due to interest earned for the three months ended April 30, 2020 on a Certificate of Deposit (“CD”) account that was subsequently closed and funds transferred to fund the Warrant exercise. Interest (expense) income, net was $(2) thousand for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and $(31) thousand for the nine months ended April 30, 2020. The reduction of interest expense during the nine months ended April 30, 2021 is due to the conversion of the $15.0 million convertible note and related interest, to equity, during the prior fiscal year.

Net loss resulting from foreign exchange transactions. Net loss resulting from foreign exchange transactions is composed entirely from changes in movements in New Israeli Shekels relative to the U.S. Dollar.

Gain on sale of building. In August 2020, we sold a building located in Piscataway, New Jersey, and recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $749 thousand.

Impairment of investments - Other Pharmaceuticals. We recorded an impairment loss of $724 thousand related to our investment using the measurement alternative for the nine months ended April 30, 2021.

Unrealized gain (loss) on investments - Hedge Funds. We recorded unrealized gains (losses) of approximately $0.7 million and $(28) thousand for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and approximately $4.2 million and $492 thousand for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Equity in earnings of RP Finance. We recognized approximately $96 thousand and $288 thousand in income from its ownership interests of 37.5% in RP Finance for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021, respectively.

Net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests. The change in the net loss (income) attributable to noncontrolling interests was due to LipoMedix, and the new entities Farber and Levco for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of April 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million. We expect our cash from operations in the next 12 months, the balance of cash and cash equivalents that we held as of April 30, 2021, and our balance in Investments – Hedge Funds of $9.7 million as of April 30, 2021 to be sufficient to meet our currently anticipated working capital, research and development, and capital expenditure requirements during the next 12 months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company filed its Shelf Registration on Form S-3 on May 27, 2021, authorizing the sale of up to $250 million of Class B common stock. This registration was declared effective as of June 7, 2021.

Operating Activities

The increase in cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2020 was primarily related to the net loss, and impact from noncash items, primarily the impairment expense related to the investment in Altira of $7.0 million and the increase in stock based compensation of $1.0 million, offset by the unrealized gain on investments - Hedge Funds of $4.2 million.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 was primarily related to our partial exercise of the Warrant and purchasing 7.3 million shares of Rafael Pharmaceuticals’ Series D Preferred Stock for $9.1 million, the payments to fund our portion of advances under the line of credit between RP Finance and Rafael Pharmaceuticals, the payments of $1.3 million towards the acquisition of a second 33.333% membership interest in Altira for a product-in-development, and payments of $3.75 million to RP Finance in accordance with our 37.5% ownership interest, offset by the proceeds of $3.7 million from the sale of the building in Piscataway, New Jersey in August 2020 and proceeds of $2.0 million from liquidation of hedge funds.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 related to building improvements made to our real estate holdings.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2021 was primarily related to proceeds of $13.0 million for the sale of 567,437 shares of our Class B common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 113,487 shares of Class B common stock. Additionally, there were approximately $2.0 million in proceeds provided by the exercise of 87,298 warrants.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended April 30, 2020 was due to payments for taxes related to shares withheld for employee taxes on a restricted stock vest.

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock until we achieve sustainable profitability and retain certain minimum cash reserves. The payment of dividends in any specific period will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors.

Trends and Uncertainties – COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently expanded to a pandemic resulting in significant risks and disruptions to the health and welfare of the global population and economy. For the period ended October 31, 2020, COVID-19 has not had a material impact on our operations, and we anticipate that our existing balances of cash and cash equivalents and cash flows expected to be generated from our operations will be sufficient to satisfy our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.

We actively monitor the outbreak and its potential impact on our operations and those of our holdings. Although our operations are mainly in the United States, we have assets outside of the United States, and some of our pharmaceutical holdings conduct operations, manufacturing and clinical trial activities in Europe and Asia.

Although partially mitigated recently, there remains a general degree of uncertainty in the national commercial real estate market based on the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result there remains a potential impact to the value of our real estate portfolio as well as efforts to monetize those assets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have chosen accounting policies that we believe are appropriate to accurately and fairly report our operating results and financial condition in conformity with U.S. GAAP. We apply these accounting policies in a consistent manner. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2020 Form 10-K.

The application of critical accounting policies requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical and other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may retain outside consultants to assist in our evaluation. If actual results ultimately differ from previous estimates, the revisions are included in results of operations in the period in which the actual amounts become known. The critical accounting policies that involve the most significant management judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements, or are the most sensitive to change from outside factors, are discussed in “Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2020 (“2020 Form 10-K”). There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and procedures during the nine months ended April 30, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any “off-balance sheet arrangements,” as defined in relevant SEC regulations that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

IDT is generally responsible for our federal, state, local and foreign income taxes for periods before and including the Spin-Off. We are generally responsible for all other taxes relating to our business. We and IDT will each generally be responsible for managing those disputes that relate to the taxes for which each of us is responsible and, under certain circumstances, may jointly control any dispute relating to taxes for which both of us are responsible.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

There have been no significant changes in our market risk exposures from those described in Item 7A of our 2020 Form 10-K.

We are monitoring the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the impact on the global financial markets may reduce our ability to access capital, which could negatively impact our long-term liquidity.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
