Risks and uncertainties, the occurrence of which could adversely affect our business, include the risks identified under the caption
“Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included
in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
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 have initiated a long-term
clinical study outside the United States to evaluate the CBGM product performance and safety over an initial period of one (1) year.
The first phase of the clinical study provided early product learnings about how the complexity of certain health conditions may
impact study eligibility. Consequently, we are undertaking certain protocol amendments to refine participant selection criteria
before enrolling additional participants. In parallel, we intend to implement certain product improvements. We are
committed to advancing our clinical program and intend to proceed swiftly with the relevant protocol amendments and product
enhancements, subject to approval by the institutional review board.
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 remain in active review with the FDA to accommodate
their requirements and expects to file the IDE submission to the FDA during the Spring of 2026.
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 nine months ended
September 30, 2025 compared with the same periods ended September 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 September 30, 2025 and 2024
All
information below is stated in thousands of U.S. dollars.
General
and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses were approximately $1,024 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to
approximately $1,063, for the prior-year period. The decrease is primarily attributable to reduced board of director and legal fees,
offset by increased professional fees, and personnel costs.
Research
and development expenses
Research
and development expenses were approximately $3,165 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to approximately
$2,063 for the prior-year period. The increase is attributable to product and manufacturing development costs we accrued during the
period related to the development of the Glucotrack CBGM Product.
Marketing
expenses
Marketing
expenses were approximately $120 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $125 for the prior-year period.
The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in market research fees.
Change
in derivative liability
Change
in derivative liability for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was less than $1.0.
19
Other
(income) expense, net
Other
income was $136 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $12 for the prior-year period. The increase was due
to the receipt of a non-recurring research grant.
Financing
income (expenses), net
Financing
income, net was approximately $2 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to financing expense of approximately
$1,848 for the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to $1,505 in revaluation expenses incurred from settlement of financial
liabilities and $330 in discount amortization and interest expenses recognized in the prior-year period.
Net
Loss
Net
loss was $4,171 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $5,087 for the prior-year period. The reduction in
net loss is primarily attributed to the prior year revaluation expenses, discussed above, offset by the current year increase in research
and development expense.
Consolidated
Results of Operations for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
General
and administrative expenses
General
and administrative expenses were approximately $3,987 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to
approximately $2,598, for the prior-year period. The increase is primarily attributable to increased legal and professional fees,
and personnel costs.
Research
and development expenses
Research
and development expenses were approximately $8,186 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to approximately $7,800
for the prior-year period. The increase is attributable to product and manufacturing development costs we accrued during the period related
to the development of the Glucotrack CBGM Product.
Marketing
expenses
Marketing
expenses were approximately $430 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $295 for the prior-year period. This
increase is primarily attributable to increased market research fees.
Change
in derivative liability
Change
in derivative liability for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, was a $3,269. The change is primarily due to adjustments
of the estimated fair value of the exchanged and repurchased warrants, as well as the outstanding 2,518 Series A and Series B Warrants.
Other
(income) expense, net
Other
income was $44 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $12 for the prior-year period.
Financing
income (expenses), net
Financing
income, net was approximately $68 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to financing expense of approximately
$1,822 for the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to $1,505 in revaluation expenses incurred from settlement of financial
liabilities and $330 in discount amortization and interest expenses recognized in the prior-year period.
Net
Loss
Net
loss was $15,760 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $12,503 for the prior-year period. The increase in
net loss is primarily attributed to the increase in general and administrative expenses and the fair value change of the derivative liability,
as described above.

Liquidity
and Going Concern
As
of September 30, 2025, we had $7,869 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 $13,549 of net proceeds received from
financing activities offset by cash used in operating and investing activities of $11,380.
We
have a history of recurring losses, and as of September 30, 2025, we have an accumulated deficit of $148,210. During the nine-months
ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a net loss of $15,760. 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 September 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. 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.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As
a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
