1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
The
Company was incorporated on May 18, 2010 under the laws of the State of Delaware. We are currently developing an implantable
continuous blood glucose monitor (“CBGM”). The Glucotrack CBGM is a long-term fully implantable continuous glucose
monitor (CGM), consisting of a sensor lead implanted into the subclavian vein and connected to subcutaneous electronics that communicate
with a mobile application. It measures glucose directly from the blood, eliminating the lag time associated with interstitial fluid
glucose monitors. Designed for a three-year sensor life with continuous, accurate blood glucose monitoring, the system offers a more
convenient and less burdensome solution for people with diabetes, with no on-body wearable component and minimal calibration
requirements.
The
Glucotrack CBGM is being developed for use by diabetes patients who are dependent on daily glucose monitoring to manage their disease.
These include patients who have the following conditions: Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 insulin-dependent diabetes, Type 2 diabetes using basal
insulin and Type 2 diabetes at risk for hypoglycemia.
We
have continued to evolve our sensor chemistry following the results of an initial in-vitro feasibility study. In 2024, we announced that
a 3-year longevity is feasible leveraging both in-vitro and in-silico test results. We have also completed multiple animal studies with
initial prototype systems which demonstrated a simple implant procedure with good safety and functionality. The results of both were
presented in poster form at the 2024 American Diabetes Association annual conference. We believe that implant accuracy and longevity
is key to the success for long term use.
We
initiated a first-in-human (“FIH”) short-term clinical study outside of the United States in fourth quarter of 2024 and completed
the study in first quarter of 2025. We recently presented results at the 2025 American Diabetes Association annual conference at the
Innovation Hub podium as well as a poster. The ADA presentation reported that the FIH clinical study met all primary and secondary endpoints
with no procedure or device related serious adverse events reported from implant through seven days post-removal of the CBGM sensor lead.
The system also demonstrated excellent accuracy with a Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD) of 7.7% across 122 matched pairs, a 99%
data capture rate, and no procedure or device-related serious adverse events. These findings validate the safety and performance of the
system which measures glucose from blood rather than interstitial fluid, eliminating the typical lag time associated with traditional
continuous glucose monitoring systems. The MARD value demonstrates very high accuracy and compares favorably to commercially available
CGM systems. The FIH study also confirmed the function of the CBGM sensor lead in the subclavian vein. Placement and removal procedures
were successfully performed by interventional cardiologists.
We
are preparing for a long-term clinical study outside the United States to evaluate the device’s performance and safety over an
initial period of 1 year. We obtained regulatory approval during the second quarter 2025 and patient enrollment is expected to begin in
the third quarter of 2025.
During
the second quarter 2025, we initiated discussions with the Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) in preparations for a pre-investigational
device exemption (“IDE”) submission. The discussions pertain to the protocol study design and related requirements to secure
IDE approval for future long-term human clinical trials in the United States. We expects to file the IDE submission to the FDA during
the fourth quarter of 2025.
We
believe our technology, if successful, has the potential to be a long-term, implantable system that continually measures blood glucose
levels with a sensor longevity of 3 years, no on-body wearable component and with minimal calibration.

Financial
Overview
Operating
Expenses
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional services, salaries, travel expenses and other related expenses for executive,
finance and administrative personnel, including stock-based compensation expenses. Other general and administrative costs and expenses
include facility-related costs not otherwise included in research and development costs and expenses, and professional fees for legal
and accounting services.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation expenses,
materials, travel expenses, clinical trials and other expenses. We expect research and development expenses to increase in 2025 and beyond,
primarily due to expanding clinical trial activities, hiring additional personnel, as well the development of the Glucotrack CBGM; however,
we may adjust or allocate the level of our research and development expenses based on available financial resources and based on our
commercial needs, including the FDA registration process, development of new Glucotrack CBGM models and other product candidates.
Marketing
Marketing
expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses and professional service costs.
Other
(Income) Expense
Other
income expense, consist primarily of the change in fair value of derivative liabilities, finance (income) expense and other (income)
expense.
Results
of Operations
The
following discussion of our operating results explains material changes in our results of operations for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2025 compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2024. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and related notes included elsewhere in this report.
Consolidated
Results of Operations for the Three Months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

Liquidity
and Going Concern
As
of June 30, 2025, we had $9,555 in cash and cash equivalents compared with $5,627 in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as
of December 31, 2024. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents was attributable to the $10,555 of net proceeds received from
financing activities offset by cash used in operating and investing activities of $6,693.
We
have a history of recurring losses, and as of June 30, 2025, we have an accumulated deficit of $144,039. During the six months ended
June 30, 2025, we recorded a net loss of $11,589. Our primary requirements for liquidity have been to fund product and clinical development
activities and to satisfy our general corporate and working capital needs.
Based
on our operating plans, we do not expect that our current cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, will be sufficient to fund our
operating cash flow needs for at least the next twelve months, assuming our programs advance as currently contemplated.
The Company estimates it will require approximately $15.0 million in cash to fund operations over this period. Based upon this review
and our current financial condition, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists as to our ability to continue as a going
concern. We have raised and believe we will continue to be able to raise additional capital through debt financing, private or public
equity financings, license agreements, collaborative agreements or other arrangements with other companies, or other sources of financing.
However, there can be no assurances that such financing will be available or will be at terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are
unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our clinical trials or
other operations. If any of these events occur, our ability to achieve our operational goals would be adversely affected. Our future
capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those described in the section titled
“ Risk Factors .” Depending on the severity and direct impact of these factors on us, we may be unable to secure additional
financing to meet our operating requirements on commercially acceptable terms favorable to us, or at all.
Critical
Accounting Policies
This
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our financial statements, which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events
and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions,
estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time
our condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions,
estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because
future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates,
and such differences could be material.
The
summary of our significant accounting policies is included under Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March
31, 2025. An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters
that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in
the estimate that are reasonably possible could materially impact the financial statements. There have been no material changes to the
critical accounting policies and estimates as filed in such report.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off balance sheet agreements.
