Entheon Biomedical Provides Corporate Update on Studies and Clinical Trials
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 27, 2021) – Entheon Biomedical Corp. (CSE: ENBI) (OTCQB: ENTBF) (FSE: 1XU1) (“Entheon” or the “Company“), a biotechnology company focused on developing psychedelic medicines to treat addiction, is pleased to provide an update on its operations and progress on its strategic initiatives.
Observational Study Update
Entheon is pleased to announce that its observational study assessing the neurophysiological effects of ketamine is progressing as planned. Approval of the observational study was received on October 22, 2021 from the Internal Review Board and site initiation has been completed with patient recruitment to begin shortly. In partnership with Heading Health, LLC (“Heading Health“), this clinical trial will use electroencephalography (EEG) and genetic screening to investigate biomarkers associated with ketamine treatment for major depressive disorder. Study results will further advance Entheon’s biomarker program for characterizing various drug states and mental health disorders.
In addition, an agreement has been signed with Wavepaths Ltd. (“Wavepaths“), a company that collaborates with world-class artists to develop adaptive music for use during psychedelic therapy. Pursuant to the agreement, Wavepaths will provide Entheon with audio for ketamine therapy sessions conducted at Heading Health as part of the observational study. The Wavepaths’ audio tracks will be used to control EEG variables related to patient-selected music typically used during treatment. This data set may serve as a baseline which Entheon will build on to explore the impact of music on therapeutic outcomes in subsequent studies.
Pre-Clinical Update
Furthermore, Entheon confirms that DMT drug material from Psygen Labs Inc. has been shipped to Entheon’s Israeli pre-clinical research partners, Science in Action and Pharmaseed Ltd. This material will be used for both an in vivo acute toxicity study as well as behavioral assays related to alcohol-use disorder. Results of these studies are expected in Q4 of 2021.
Clinical Trial Update
The Scientific Review Committee at the Centre for Human Drug Research has conducted a review and risk analysis of the clinical study, with input from the Scientific Advice Board, and has endorsed Entheon’s clinical study protocol for submission to the medical ethics committee. The Company expects that its Phase 1 human trial will now begin in Q1 of 2022. Site initiation and initial screening are planned for January, with recruitment and enrollment to follow shortly thereafter.
“We are happy to report that Entheon’s core research programs are progressing steadily with the cooperation of our partners and our shared commitment to advancing Entheon’s biomarker-enabled drug development platform,” said Timothy Ko, Chief Executive Officer of Entheon.

Management Commentary
“With the April 1st cannabis legalization in Germany, we are augmenting our focus and resources on the German market, where we expect to see the biggest growth potential, and the best return on investment. While it is still too early to make any predictions, our sales in Germany almost doubled during the month of April,” said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC. “Looking back on the first month post legalization in Germany, I see that we have the infrastructure and the supply agreements in place to continue delivering the accelerated growth we have already seen in April. We will also ensure that we have the necessary resources in place for success.”
“In 2023 we completely restructured, becoming a very lean and agile company, leaning into active cost management. This process is reflected in the numbers, our G&A decreased 27% vs Q1 2023” said Uri Birenberg, Chief Financial Officer of IMC. “While our results have recovered from the impact of the Israel-Hamas war, our revenue was still effected by both an unfavorable exchange rate, as well as price reductions to sell off inventory.”

The Company will host a Zoom web conference call today at 9:00 a.m. ET to discuss the results, followed by a question-and-answer session for the investment community. Investors are invited to register by clicking here. All relevant information will be sent upon registration.

Q1 2024 Financial Results
- Revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $12.1 million compared to $12.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 3%. The decrease is mainly due an exchange rate effect of about $0.2 million and decrease in avg. price per sale due to increased competition.
- Gross profit for the first quarter of 2024 was $1.8 million, compared to $2.9 million in Q1 2024, a decrease of 39%. The downside is attributed mainly to the slow-moving stock that was moved out at a lower price and an exchange rate difference totaling $0.4 million and $0.64 million cost of sales loss due to an inventory erase of the slow-moving stock. Company fair value adjustment was $0 and $0.4 million for the Q1 2024 and Q1 2023 respectively.
- Total Dried Flower sold in Q1 2024 was approximately 1,873 kg with an average selling price of $5.68 per gram, compared to approximately 1,842kg in Q1 2023, with an average selling price of $6.59 per gram. This difference is mainly due to increased competition within the retail segment, and mid-range stock discounts to move out slow moving stock.
- Total operating expenses in Q1 2024 were $7.4 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023. The increase is due to the other operating expenses related to Oranim Deal revoke, with an expected losses of $2.8 million. Adjusting for this one-time losses, Q1 2024 operating expenses were $4.6 million compared to $6.5 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 29%.
- G&A Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $3.2 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 28%. The decrease in the G&A expense is attributable mainly to salaries and professional services of $0.64 million.
- Selling and Marketing Expenses in Q1 2024 were $2.3 million, compared to $2.8 million in Q1 2023, a decrease of 18% mainly due to a decrease in Salaries and professional services of $0.5 million.
- Net Loss from continuing operations in Q1 2024 was $6.0 million, compared to $0.9 million in Q12023.
- Basic and diluted Loss per Share in Q1 2024 was $0.42, compared to a loss of $0.05 per Share in Q1 2023.

- Cash and Cash Equivalents as of March 31, 2024, were $1.0 million compared to $1.8 million in December 31, 2023.
- Total assets as of March 31, 2024, were $41.1 million, compared to $48.8 million in December 31, 2023, a decrease of 16%. The decrease is mainly attributed to the goodwill reduction due to Oranim agreement cancelation of about $2.8M, a reduction in Inventory of $2.1 million, reduction of Cash and cash equivalents of $0.8M and reduction in Trade payables of $1.2 million.
- Total Liabilities as of March 31, 2024, were $32.8 million, compared to $35.1 in December 31, 2023, a decrease of about 7%. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction in other accounts payables and accrued expenses of $1.8 million and reduction in the PUT option liability of $0.7 million.

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release makes reference to “Gross Margin” and “Adjusted EBITDA”, which are financial measures that are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These measures are provided as complementary information to the Company’s IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should neither be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS.
For an explanation of how management defines Gross Margin and Adjusted EBITDA, see the Company’s management’s discussion and analysis for the period ended March 31, 2024, available under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.
We reconcile these non-IFRS financial measures to the most comparable IFRS measures as set out below.

The above lists of forward-looking statements and assumptions are not exhaustive. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors and risks.
