9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of
1924, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2023, or the evaluation date. Based on such evaluation, those officers
have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in recording, processing, summarizing
and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be included in periodic filings under the Exchange Act and that such information
is not accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, in a manner sufficient to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described
below.

Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined
in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting
based principally on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation,
we have identified material weaknesses related to our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 and concluded
that internal control over financial reporting as at December 31, 2023 were not effective. As defined in Regulation 12b-2 under the Exchange
Act, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting,
such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented,
or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, as of December 31, 2023, the ineffectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting was due to identification of material weaknesses related to lack of sufficient internal accounting personnel, segregation
of duties, and lack of sufficient internal controls (including IT general controls) that encompass the Company as a whole with respect
to entity and transactions level controls in order to ensure complete documentation of complex and non-routine transactions and adequate
financial reporting.
Management
has identified corrective actions to remediate such material weaknesses, which includes hiring additional employees. Management intends
to implement procedures to remediate such material weaknesses during the fiscal year 2024; however, the implementation of these initiatives
may not fully address any material weaknesses that we may have in our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During
the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm
pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Report.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board
of Directors and the Stockholders of
GLUCOTRACK
INC.
Opinion
on the financial statements
We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GlucoTrack Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and
2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial
statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed
in Note 1B to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses and negative cash flows from its operations and comprehensive
loss since its inception and as of December 31, 2023, there is an accumulated deficit of $109,853. These conditions, along with other
matters as set forth in Note 1B, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1B. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
F- 2
Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication
of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are
not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or
disclosures to which it relates.
Going
Concern
As
described further in Note 1B, the Company has not yet generated significant revenues from its previous product and the development and
commercialization of its current product is expected to require substantial additional expenditures. Thus, the Company is dependent upon
external sources for financing its operations. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has incurred accumulated deficit of $109,853. Furthermore,
the Company has generated recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flow. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining balance
of cash and cash equivalents was determined by the Company’s management as insufficient for the Company to realize its business
plans for the twelve-month period subsequent to the reporting period. Accordingly, the Company’s management has determined that
these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The
Company plans to finance its operations through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. However, Company’s management has concluded
that such plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt regarding to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as it
was determined by management that there can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in obtaining the necessary financing or generating
sufficient revenues from sales of its current product in order to continue its operations as a going concern.
We
identified the assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a critical audit matter. The principal considerations
for our determination are due to significant judgment required by management when assessing the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern, taking into consideration management plans, the Company’s available funds, the ability of the Company to generate
revenues from sales of its current product and the risk of bias in management’s judgments and assumptions in their determination.
Our
audit procedures related to this matter included the following, among others. We reviewed and evaluated management’s plans for dealing
with the adverse effect of these conditions and events. We inquired Company management and reviewed the company records to assess whether
there are additional factors that might contribute to the uncertainties disclosed. We evaluated the reasonableness of significant assumptions
used by management in its determination. We assessed whether the Company’s determination that there is substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern was adequately disclosed.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 – GENERAL
A.
GlucoTrack
Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 18, 2010 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is a medical
device company, focuses on the design, development and commercialization of diabetes technology devices for use by people with diabetes.
On
October 07, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with its Chief Executive Officer under which intellectual property was purchased
to be used for newly acquired continuous glucose monitoring (“CGM”) technology which is a multi-year implantable CGM targeting Type
1 patients and Type 2 patients on insulin therapy. The technology is in a feasibility assessment phase using bench testing and simulated
data. Upon success, the project will migrate into development of a prototype implantable system for evaluation in animal studies.
The goal of the implantable CGM technology is to provide a minimum of two years of CGM data without requiring the patient to have
a wearable device, unlike current technology available in the market (see also Note 4B below).
On November 13, 2023, the Company shifted its strategic focus from
non-invasive point-in-time glucose monitoring to CGM technology.
The
Company and Integrity Israel are considered collectively as the “Company.”
F- 8
B.
Going
concern uncertainty
To
date, the Company had not yet commercialized the Glucotrack CBGM product. Further development and commercialization efforts are expected
to require substantial additional expenditures. Therefore, the Company is dependent upon external sources for financing its operations.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company has incurred accumulated deficit of $ 109,853 . Furthermore, the Company has generated operating
losses and negative operating cash flow for all reported periods. As of December 31, 2023, the balance of cash and cash equivalents
amounted to $ 4,492 is insufficient for the Company to realize its business plans for the twelve-month period subsequent to the reporting
period.
Management
has considered the significance of such conditions in relation to the Company’s ability
to meet its current obligations and to achieve its business targets and determined that these
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
During
the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company raised net proceeds of $ 8,730 through completion of underwritten public offering (see
also Note 5B).
The
Company plans to finance its operations through the sale of equity and/or debt securities (including shelf registration statement
on Form S-3 that was declared effective on September 27, 2021 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and which allows the
Company to register up to $ 90,000 of certain equity and/or debt securities of the Company through prospectus supplement). There can
be no assurance that the Company will succeed in obtaining the necessary financing or generating sufficient revenues from sales of
its GlucoTrack CBGM product in order to continue its operations as a going concern.
The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
F- 9
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(US GAAP).
A.
Use
of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates. Management believes that there are no critical accounting estimates in
these financial statements.
B.
Functional
currency
The
functional currency of the Company is the US dollar, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates.
In accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters” (ASC 830), balances denominated in or linked to foreign currency
are stated on the basis of the exchange rates prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date. For foreign currency transactions
included in the statement of operations, the exchange rates applicable on the relevant transaction dates are used. Gains or losses
arising from changes in the exchange rates used in the translation of such transactions are carried as financing income or expenses.
The functional currency of Integrity Israel is the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) and its financial statements are included
in consolidation, based on translation into US dollars. Accordingly, assets and liabilities were translated from NIS to US dollars
using year-end exchange rates, and expense items were translated at average exchange rates during the year. Gains or losses resulting
from translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders’ equity, under “accumulated other comprehensive income”.

C.
Principles
of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
D.
Cash
and cash equivalents and restricted cash
The
Company considers all short-term investments, which are highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.
Restricted
cash is invested in certificates of deposit, which are used to secure Integrity Israel’s obligations in respect of its credit
card.
For
presentation of statement of cash flows purposes, restrict cash balances are included with cash and cash equivalents, when reconciling
the reported period total amounts.

Property
and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets. When an asset is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related carrying value and accumulated
depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition is reflected
in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Impairment
of long-lived assets
The
Group’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”,
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability
of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by
the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. To date the Group did not incur any material impairment
losses related to long lived assets.
G.
Income
tax
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Accordingly, deferred income taxes are
determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial
accounting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax law. Deferred tax balances are computed using the
enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Valuation allowances in respect of deferred tax assets
are provided for, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be realized.
The
Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10, which prescribes detailed guidance for the financial
statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements.
According to ASC Topic 740-10, tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company’s accounting
policy is to classify interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions under income taxes, however the Company did not
recognize such items in its fiscal 2023 and 2022 financial statements and did not recognize any liability with respect to unrecognized
tax position in its balance sheet.
F- 12
H.
Research
and development expenses
Research
and development expenses are charged to operations and comprehensive loss, as incurred.
I.
Royalty-bearing
grants
Royalty-bearing
grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority (IIA) to fund approved research and development projects are recognized at the time
Integrity Israel is entitled to such grants, on the basis of the costs incurred and reduce research and development costs. To date,
the cumulative research and development grants received by Integrity Israel from IIA amounted to $ 93 . See also Note 4A below.
F- 13
J.
Basic
and diluted loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the period applicable (after considering the effect of deemed dividend
related to trigger of down round protection feature) for Common Stockholders and the holders of the pre-funded warrants dividend by the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding and shares of Common Stock to be issued upon achievement of first performance milestone (see
Note 4A below) and upon exercise of pre-funded warrants
(see Note 5B below) during the period.
In computing, diluted loss per share, basic earnings per share are adjusted to reflect the potential dilution that could occur upon the
exercise of options or warrants issued or granted using the “treasury stock method”, if the effect of each of such financial
instruments is dilutive.
In computing diluted loss per share, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of Common Stock assumed
to be purchased from the proceeds to be received from the exercise of stock options or stock warrants.
Shares that will be issued upon exercise of all stock options and stock warrants, have been excluded from the calculation of the
diluted net loss per share for all the reported periods for which net loss was reported because the effect of the common shares issuable
as a result of the exercise or conversion of these instruments was anti-dilutive

Stock-based
compensation
The
Company measures and recognizes the compensation expense for all equity-based payments to employees based on their estimated fair
values in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. Share-based payments including grants of stock
options are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss as an operating expense based on the fair
value of the award at the date of grant. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. The Company has expensed compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, applying the accelerated vesting method, over the
requisite service period or over the implicit service period when a performance condition affects the vesting, and it is considered
probable that the performance condition will be achieved.
Since
January 1, 2019, share-based payments to non-employees are accounted in accordance with ASC 718.
F- 14
L.
Fair
value of financial instruments
ASC
Topic 825-10, “Financial Instruments” defines financial instruments and requires disclosure of the fair value of financial
instruments held by the Company. The Company considers the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts
receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities balances, to approximate their fair values due to
the short-term maturities of such financial instruments. ASC Topic 825-10, establishes the following fair value hierarchy, which
prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:
Level
1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair
value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level
2 - Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. Level 3 inputs are considered as the lowest priority
under the fair value hierarchy.
The
fair value of the financial instruments included in the working capital of the Company (cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable
and other current assets and liabilities) approximates their carrying value.
The
Company did not estimate the fair value of the loans received from stockholders since their repayment schedule has not yet been determined.
M.
Concentrations
of credit risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents,
and restricted cash. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are deposited with a major bank in the United States. Management
believes that such financial institutions are financially sound, accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to these financial
instruments. The Company does not have any significant off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk, such as foreign exchange contracts,
option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
N.
Contingencies
The
Company records accruals for loss contingencies arising from claims, litigation and other sources when it is probable that a liability
has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional
information becomes available. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
O.
Warrants
with down-round protection
The
Company disregard the down round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed
to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification in accordance
with the provisions of ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share” (ASU 2017-11). Based
on its evaluation, management has determined that such warrants with down-round protection
feature are eligible for equity classification.
Accordantly,
upon the occurrence of an event that triggers a down round protection feature (i.e., when the exercise price of the warrants is adjusted
downward because of the down round feature), the effect is accounted for as a deemed dividend and as a reduction of income available
to common shareholders for purposes of basic earnings per share calculation. See also Note 2K above.
P.
Modification
of equity-classified contracts
The
modification or exchange of equity-classified contracts, such as warrants that were classified as equity before the modification
or exchange and remained eligible for equity classification after the modification, is accounted for in a similar manner to a modification
of stock-based compensation. Accordingly, the incremental fair value from the modification or exchange (the change in the fair value
of the instrument before and after the modification or exchange) is recognized as a reduction of retained earnings of increase of
accumulated deficit as a deemed dividend. Modifications or exchanges that result in a decrease in the fair value of an equity-classified
share-based payment awards are not recognized. In addition, the amount of the deemed dividend is also recognized as an adjustment
to earnings available to common shareholders for purposes of calculating earnings per share.
Q.
Recently
issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted
1.
In November 2023, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.
2.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topics 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” to expand the disclosure requirements for income taxes, specifically relating to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted.
The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.
F- 15
NOTE
3 – LOANS FROM STOCKHOLDERS
During
the years 2003-2004, Integrity Israel received loans from stockholders (four separate lenders) in a total amount of approximately
$ 400 . However, following the repayment of the entire balance to certain lender in 2015, the remaining balance as of December 31,
2022 is approximately $ 196 . The loans are indexed to the Israeli consumer price index from their origination date and bear no interest.
The
Company will be required to pay the loans, in quarterly installments, commencing on the first quarter following the first fiscal
year in which the Company reports net profit in its annual report. At such time, the Company will be required to make quarterly payments
equal to 10 % of its total sales for each quarter until the loans have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the repayment mechanism,
the Company will not be required to repay the loans during any period in which such payment would cause a deficit in the Company’s
working capital.
As
of December 31, 2023, the Company does not expect to make any material repayments during the following 12-month period, if any, and
accordingly the entire remaining balance of the loans from stockholders have been presented as non-current liability.
F- 16
NOTE
4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
A.
On
March 4, 2004, the IIA provided Integrity Israel with a grant of approximately $ 93 (NIS 420 ), for its plan to develop a non-invasive
blood glucose monitor (the “Development Plan”). Integrity Israel is required to pay royalties to the IIA at a rate ranging
between 3 - 5 % of the proceeds from the sale of the Company’s products arising from the Development Plan up to an amount equal
to $ 93 , plus interest at LIBOR from the date of grant. As to the replacement of the LIBOR benchmark rate, even though the IIA has
not declared the alternative benchmark rate to replace the LIBOR, the Company does not believe it will have a significant impact.
As of December 31, 2023, the remaining contingent liability with respect to royalty payment on future sales equals approximately
$ 73 , excluding interest. Such contingent obligation has no expiration date.
B.
On
October 7, 2022 (“the Closing Date”), the Company entered into Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with Paul Goode, which is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Seller”), under which it was agreed that
on and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, at the Closing Date, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and
deliver to the Company, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following assets, properties and rights (collectively,
the “Purchased Assets”):
(a)
All
rights, title, interests in all current and future intellectual property, including, but not limited to patents, trademarks, trade
secrets, industry know-how and other IP rights relating to an implantable continuous glucose sensor (collectively, the “Conveyed
Intellectual Property”); and
(b)
All
the goodwill relating to the Purchased Assets.
In
consideration for the sale by Seller of the Purchased Assets to the Company, at the Closing
Date, the Company paid to Seller cash in the amount of one dollar and obligated to issue
up to 1,000,000 Common Stock to be issued based upon specified performance milestones as
set forth in the Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). In addition, if upon the final
issuance, the aggregate 1,000,000 shares represent less than 1.5 % of the then outstanding
Common Stock of the Company, the final issuance will include such number of additional shares
so that the total aggregate issuance equals 1.5 % of the outstanding shares (the “True-Up
Shares”). All shares of Common Stock of the company that will be issued under this
agreement shall be (i) restricted over a limited period of 1-year and issued in transactions
exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
and (ii) subject to the lockup provisions.
When
the Company acquires net assets that do not constitute a business, as defined under ASU 2017-01 Business Combinations (Topic 805)
Clarifying the Definition of a Business (such when there is no substantive process in the acquired entity) the transaction is accounted
for as asset acquisition and no goodwill is recognized. The acquired In-Process Research and Development intangible asset (“IPR&D”)
to be used in research and development projects which have been determined not to have alternative future use, is expensed immediately.
At
the Closing Date, it was determined that the asset acquisition represent the purchase of IPR&D with no alternative future use.
However, the achievement of each of the performance milestones is considered as contingent event outside the Company’s control
and thus the contingent consideration which is equal to the fair value of the Purchase Price as measured at the Closing Date will
be recognized when it becomes probable that each target will be achieved within the reasonable period of time. Such additional contingent
consideration will be recognized in subsequent periods if and when the contingency (the achievement of targets) is resolved, or when
it will be considered as reasonably estimable under ASC 450, Contingencies.
In
the middle of June 2023, the Company achieved the first performance milestone out of the five performance milestones outlined in the
Agreement executed between the Company and the Seller as of the Closing Date. As a result, upon the date of fulfillment of the
performance first milestone the Company was committed to issue 100,000
restricted shares to the Seller (such shares have been issued on February 6, 2024). During the year ended December 31, 2023, the
Company recorded stock-based compensation expenses of $ 131
(as part of research and development expenses), which represents the quoted price of its Common Stock at the Closing Date, after
taking into consideration a discount for lack of marketability at a rate of 30.4 %
over a restriction period of 1-year. As of December 31, 2023, achievement of all other performance milestones was not considered
probable and thus stock-based compensation expenses were not recorded with respect to thereof.

NOTE
5 – COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS WITH-DOWN ROUND PROTECTION
A.
Description
of the rights attached to the Common Stock
Each
share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, on each matter submitted to the approval of
the Company’s stockholders. The holders of Common Stock are not permitted to vote their shares cumulatively.
B.
Completion
of underwritten U.S. public offering
On April 13, 2023, the Company completed an underwritten public offering under which the Company received gross proceeds of approximately $ 10 million for issuance of (i) 5,376,472 shares of common stock and (ii) 1,976,470 pre-funded warrants at a price to the public of $ 1.36 per share. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable for the same number of shares of common stock and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full at an exercise price of $ 0.001 .
Upon
satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the closing date of the above underwritten public offering was April 17, 2023 (the “Closing
Date”). The Company received substantially all the pre-funded warrant’s proceeds upfront (without any conditions) as part
of the pre-funded warrant’s purchase price and in return the Company is obligated to issue fixed number of 1,976,470 shares of
Common Stock to the holders. Thus, pre-funded warrants were accounted for and were classified as additional paid-in capital as part
of the Company’s stockholders’ equity.
Total
incremental and direct issuance costs amounted to $ 1,270
thousand. These expenses were deducted from additional
paid-in capital as they were allocated to shares of Common Stock and pre-funded warrants.
On January 3, 2024, the above pre-funded warrants have been fully exercised
to 1,976,470 shares of Common Stock of the Company.

exercise through July 1, 2026, for all warrants issued pursuant to the Exchange Agreement dated December 31, 2018. The Company accounted
for the extension of the warrants exercise period pursuant to ASC 718 as a modification. Accordingly, additional compensation of
$ 56 was calculated as the fair value of the modified award in excess of the fair value of the original award measured immediately
before its terms have been modified. The incremental fair value was recognized as an immediate expense in 2022 as the warrants were
fully vested at the modification date.
C.
Upon
closing of underwritten U.S. public offering as noted in Note 5B above, a down round protection feature of all the above warrants,
was triggered through the reduction of their original exercise prices from a price in a range of $ 3.35 -$ 70.2 to a price of $ 1.36
which represented the public offering price. Such reduction was accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASU 2017-11as
a deemed dividend estimated at a total amount of $ 855 thousand which was recorded as part of the additional paid-in capital versus
increase of accumulated deficit. Regarding the effect of the loss per share, see also Note 2K above.
