−Removed: reset our priorities, improve our commercial outlook and refine our business strategy to focus on our implantable CGM technology.
−Removed: our efforts to focus on CGM not be successful, we will need to further evaluate our business strategy and, as a result, our Board of
−Removed: Directors may decide that it is in the best interest of our stockholders to dissolve our Company and liquidate our assets or otherwise
−Removed: modify our strategy in the future.
−Removed: In this regard, we may, from time to time, focus our product development efforts on different product
−Removed: candidates or may delay, suspend or terminate the future development of a product candidate at any time for strategic, business, financial
−Removed: or other reasons.
−Removed: As a result of changes in our strategy, we have and may in the future change or refocus our existing product development,

−Removed: In particular, we may fail to select or capitalize on the most scientifically, clinically
−Removed: or commercially promising or profitable product candidates.
−Removed: Our decisions to allocate our research and development, management and financial
−Removed: resources toward particular product candidates may not lead to the development of viable commercial products and may divert resources
−Removed: from better opportunities.
−Removed: Similarly, our decisions to delay or terminate product development programs may also prove to be incorrect
−Removed: and could cause us to miss valuable opportunities.
−Removed: failure to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our Common Stock.
−Removed: common stock is currently listed for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
−Removed: We must satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq,
−Removed: to maintain the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
−Removed: May 26, 2023, we received notice from the Staff indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the prior 30
−Removed: consecutive business days, we were not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share
−Removed: for continued listing on Nasdaq as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).
−Removed: We had 180 days from
−Removed: May 26, 2023, or through November 22, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
−Removed: November 24, 2023, we received a second letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had been granted an additional 180 calendar
−Removed: days, or until May 20, 2024 (the “Extended Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement
−Removed: in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
−Removed: May 21, 2024, we received a third letter from Nasdaq (the “Letter”) notifying us that it had not regained compliance with
−Removed: the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the Extended Compliance Period.
−Removed: The Letter also notified us that our Form 10-Q for the period
−Removed: ended March 31, 2024, indicates that we no longer meet the $2,500,000 minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing
−Removed: set forth under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).
−Removed: Pursuant to Listing Rule
−Removed: 5810(d)(2), the failure to comply with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement has become an additional and separate basis
−Removed: for delisting.
−Removed: we were under review for failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, we were not eligible to submit a plan to regain compliance.
−Removed: Accordingly, unless we would request an appeal of this determination by May 28, 2024, trading of our common stock would be suspended
−Removed: at the opening of business on May 30, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
−Removed: We timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).
−Removed: The hearing request would result in a stay of

−Removed: Eastern Time, on May
−Removed: 17, 2024, a one-for-five Reverse Stock Split of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
−Removed: the event that we are unable to regain and sustain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq, our
−Removed: Common Stock may be delisted from Nasdaq.
−Removed: If our Common Stock were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our common stock would most likely
−Removed: take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC
−Removed: Markets Group Inc.
−Removed: An investor would likely find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our
−Removed: common stock on an over-the-counter market, and many investors would likely not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing
−Removed: over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons.
−Removed: addition, as a delisted security, our common stock would be subject to SEC rules as a “penny stock,” which impose additional
−Removed: disclosure requirements on broker-dealers.
−Removed: The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade
−Removed: to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally representing a higher percentage of the price of
−Removed: a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would further limit the ability of investors to trade in our common stock.
−Removed: delisting would materially and adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in
−Removed: the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.
−Removed: reasons and others, delisting would adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume and price of our common stock, causing the value of
−Removed: an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including
−Removed: our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and to raise capital.
−Removed: rely on third parties to manufacture and supply our product.
−Removed: do not own or operate manufacturing facilities for clinical or commercial production of Glucotrack CBGM, other than a prototype lab.
−Removed: We have no experience in medical device manufacturing and lack the resources and the capability to manufacture the Glucotrack CBGM on
−Removed: a commercial scale.
−Removed: our manufacturing partners are unable to produce our products in the amounts, timing or pricing that we require, we may not be able to
−Removed: establish a contract and obtain a sufficient alternative supply from another supplier on a timely basis and in the quantities or pricing
−Removed: We expect to depend on third-party contract manufacturers for the foreseeable future.
−Removed: CBGM does, and our future product candidates, if any, likely will require precise, high quality manufacturing.
−Removed: Any of our contract manufacturers
−Removed: will be subject to ongoing periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and other non-U.S.
−Removed: regulatory authorities to ensure strict compliance
−Removed: with quality system regulations, including current good manufacturing practices and other applicable government regulations and corresponding
−Removed: If our contract manufacturers fail to achieve and maintain high manufacturing standards in compliance with quality system
−Removed: regulations, we may experience manufacturing errors resulting in patient injury or death, product recalls or withdrawals, delays or interruptions
−Removed: of production or failures in product testing or delivery, delay or prevention of filing or approval of marketing applications for our
−Removed: products, cost overruns or other problems that could seriously harm our business.
−Removed: performance failure on the part of our contract manufacturers could delay clinical development or regulatory clearance or approval of
−Removed: our product candidates or commercialization of our future product candidates, depriving us of potential product revenue and resulting
−Removed: in additional losses.
−Removed: In addition, our dependence on a third-party for manufacturing may adversely affect our future profit margins.
−Removed: Our ability to replace an existing manufacturer may be difficult because the number of potential manufacturers is limited, and the FDA
−Removed: must approve any replacement manufacturer before it can begin manufacturing our product candidates.
−Removed: Such approval would require additional
−Removed: non-clinical testing and compliance inspections.
−Removed: It may be difficult or impossible for us to identify and engage a replacement manufacturer
−Removed: on acceptable terms in a timely manner, or at all.
