In 2020 and during the first nine months of 2021, the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic impacted the Company’s current clinical trials, including the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the development activities pursuant to the collaboration and license agreement with Nestlé Health Science. The Company experienced difficulties in enrolling new patients in this Phase II clinical trial (“PII”) and modified the protocols of the clinical trial. As a result of the accumulation of recruitment delays, the Company expects to incur additional clinical and production costs related to the Phase II clinical trial.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company recorded its collaboration agreement’s revenue based on its updated measurement of progress of the Phase II clinical trial conducted as part of the agreement. The accrual recorded in the amount of the difference between the Company’s current best estimates of costs yet to be incurred and revenues yet to be recognized for the completion of the Phase II clinical trial has been updated accordingly.
Other contingencies are primarily composed of the estimated expenses to be incurred as part of the employee-related costs related to restructuring, as well as estimated cost of refurbishing lease premises (Refer to Note 2, “Significant Events and Transactions—Restructuring”).
There have been no significant changes in assumptions for the estimation of the retirement commitments from those disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report.
