NOTE 5 - EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

In April 2023, the Company entered into an amendment to its office lease agreement from 2014 to extend the period of the lease agreement for additional five years, expiring on June 30, 2028, with two options for early termination by the Company subject to a notice period. The monthly lease fee is a total of $15.

As of June 30,2023, the Company recorded the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the expected terms, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate, which was 13.84%. The Company lease agreements do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

As of June 30, 2023, the maturity of lease liabilities under our non-cancelable operating leases were as follows:

2023	96
2024	180
2025	180
2026	86
Total future minimum lease payments	542
Less: interest	(86)
Present value of operating lease liabilities	456

	b.	On December 10, 2018, the Company entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with Amgen (the “Amgen Agreement”) for the use of the Company’s oral delivery platform in the field of inflammatory disease and other serious illnesses. Pursuant to the Amgen Agreement, the Company and Amgen had agreed to use the Company’s proprietary drug delivery platform to develop oral formulations for one preclinical large molecule program that Amgen had selected. Additionally, the Company had granted Amgen an exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable license under certain of its intellectual property relating to its drug delivery technology to develop, manufacture and commercialize the applicable products. On May 2, 2023, the Company and Amgen agreed to terminate the Amgen Agreement in accordance with its terms, effective on such date. Neither party incurred any termination penalty or fees in connection with the termination of the Amgen Agreement.
