GENERAL | |
GENERAL | NOTE 1 – GENERAL: a. Nuvectis Pharma Inc. (formerly Centry Pharma Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 27, 2020 and commenced its principal operations in May 2021. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at Fort Lee in the state of New Jersey. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel targeted small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of cancer in genetically defined patient populations. The Company’s precision medicine approach translates key scientific insights relating to the oncogenic drivers and pathway addiction of cancer into potential potent and highly selective anticancer drugs. b. In May 2021, the Company entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with the CRT Pioneer Fund (“CRT”) (see note 5a). c. In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved and declared a 100 39 d. In August 2021, the Company entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with the University of Edinburgh, Scotland for the Company’s second drug candidate (see note 5a). e. Initial Public Offering On February 8, 2022, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) in which it sold 3,200,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share and received net proceeds of $13.6 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions, of $1.1 million and expenses of $1.8 million. In connection with the closing of the IPO, 5,012,280 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, automatically converted into an equal number of shares of common stock. The Company’s shares began trading on the NASDAQ under symbol “NVCT” (see note 2r and 6b) f. Liquidity The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net operating losses since its inception and had an accumulated deficit of $32 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $20 million as of December 31, 2022 and has not generated positive cash flows from operations. To date, the Company has been able to fund its operations primarily through the issuance and sale of common stock and redeemable convertible preferred shares. On July 29, 2022, the Company completed a private placement in which it received approximately $14.3 million in net proceeds, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses (see Note 6c). Based on management’s cash flow projections, the Company believes that the Company’s currently available cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 is sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations for a period greater than 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements. The Company will need to raise additional capital in order to complete the clinical trials aimed at developing the product candidates until obtaining its regulation and marketing approvals. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure such additional financing if at all, or at terms that are satisfactory to the Company, and that it will be sufficient to meet its needs. In the event the Company is not successful in obtaining sufficient funding, this could force the Company to delay, limit, or reduce our products’ development, clinical trials, commercialization efforts or other operations, or even close down or liquidate. g. Coronavirus Pandemic The uncertainty to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, affects management’s judgment and assumptions relating to accounting estimates in a variety of areas that depend on these estimates and assumptions. Management believes this uncertainty is immaterial to the business. |

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: a. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and stated in U.S. dollars. The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: b. Segment Reporting The Company has one operating segment. An operating segment is defined as a component that engages in business activities whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources and for which discrete financial information is available. c. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to accruals for research and development expenses, valuation of equity awards, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, future expectations, and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. d. Functional and Presentation Currency The U.S. dollar (“dollar”) is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the functional currency of the Company is the dollar. e. Functional and Presentation Currency Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions between the purchase and the settlement dates are reflected in the statements of operations as a component of financial income (expense). For non-dollar transactions and other items in the statements of operations (indicated below), the following exchange rates are used: (i) for transactions — exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates; and (ii) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation) — historical exchange rates. The Company did not recognize net foreign currency transaction gains or losses in the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. f. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, with maturities of three months or less at the date acquired. g. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company is subject to credit risk from holding its cash and cash equivalents at one commercial bank. The Company limits its exposure to credit losses by investing in money market accounts which are included in cash and cash equivalents through a U.S. bank with high credit ratings. Cash may consist of deposits held with banks that may at times exceed federally insured limits, however, exposure to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution is limited to the extent of amounts recorded on the balance sheets. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. h. Leases In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, the Company defines a short-term lease if a lease has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. At the inception of the lease and as of December 31, 2022, the Company determined all leases were classified as short-term. Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in general and administrative. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The operating lease costs for 2022 and 2021 were $13 thousand and $11 thousand, respectively. i. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including licensing fees, cost of salaries, share-based compensation expenses, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, subcontractors, materials used for research and development activities, and professional services. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. j. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including employee salaries, bonuses, benefits, and share-based compensation, and recruiting costs for personnel in executive, finance, and other administrative functions. Other significant general and administrative expenses include legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, professional fees for accounting, tax and consulting services, insurance costs, and travel expenses. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred. k. Loss Contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the date of the financial statements, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. Management applies the guidance in ASC 450-20-25 when assessing losses resulting from contingencies. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is recorded as accrued expenses in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material are disclosed. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, no contingent liabilities have been recognized. l. Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for employees’, directors’ and service providers’ share-based payment awards classified as equity awards using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The equity awards could come in the form of options, warrants and RSUs. The Company elected to recognize compensation costs for awards using the accelerated method based on the multiple-option award approach. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. For stock options containing a market condition, the market conditions are required to be considered when calculating the grant date fair value. ASC 718 requires selection of a valuation technique that best fits the circumstances of an award. (see note 7). In order to reflect the substantive characteristics of the market condition option award, a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model was used to calculate the grant date fair value of such stock options. Expense for the market condition stock options is recognized over the derived service period as determined through the Monte Carlo simulation model. m. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes no items other than net loss. n. Income Taxes 1) Deferred taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (hereafter – “ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes that Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred taxes will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Given the Company’s losses, the Company concluded it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized and has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. 2) Uncertainty in income taxes The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10. The Company follows a two-step approach in recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based on technical merits. If this threshold is met, the second step is to measure the tax position as the largest amount that has more than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not have any provision for uncertain tax positions. o. Net Loss Per Share The Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. The diluted net loss per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury share method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share in periods when the effects of potentially dilutive shares of ordinary shares are anti-dilutive. The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to ordinary shareholders for the period to be allocated between ordinary shares and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considered its redeemable convertible preferred shares to be participating securities as the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred shares would be entitled to dividends that would be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all redeemable convertible preferred shares into ordinary shares. These participating securities do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net loss for the periods presented was not allocated to the Company’s preferred shares. The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per Ordinary Share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the years presented: For the year ended For the year ended December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Common shares issuable in relation to: Warrants* 344,894 81,003 Options* 311,590 226,590 RSU* 548,237 241,137 Redeemable convertible preferred shares — 5,012,280 *- Adjusted to reflect stock splits, see note 6a. p. Fair Value Measurement The Company follows authoritative accounting guidance, which among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (at exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value include: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of money market funds. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. The money market accounts included in cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there were no transfers between fair value measure levels. The Company had no financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values. q. Deferred Offering Costs Deferred offering costs consist of legal and other costs incurred in connection with the formation and preparation for the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) or the Private Investment in Public Entity (“PIPE”). These costs, along with underwriting fees were charged to additional paid-in capital upon the completion of the IPO or PIPE. The deferred offering costs were offset against the proceeds received upon the completion of the IPO or PIPE. Deferred offering costs are recorded under other non-current assets on the accompanying balance sheets. r. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares When the Company issues convertible preferred shares, it considers the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) in order to determine whether the preferred share should be classified as a liability. If the instrument is not within the scope of ASC 480, the Company further analyzes the instrument’s characteristics in order to determine whether it should be classified within temporary equity (mezzanine) or within permanent equity in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480-10-S99. The Company’s redeemable convertible preferred shares are not mandatorily or currently redeemable. However, they include a liquidation or deemed liquidation events that would constitute a redemption event that is outside of the Company’s control. As such, all shares of redeemable preferred shares have been presented outside of permanent equity. Upon the consummation of the IPO, all of the Company's preferred stocks were converted into common stock and reclassified from temporary equity, into permanent equity. s. Warrants The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants that are issued, as either liability or equity, by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, (“ASC 480-10”), and then in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Under ASC 480-10, warrants are considered liability-classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the issuer to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares. If the warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude equity classification, the Company assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP. After all relevant assessments are made, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability-classified warrants are required to be accounted for at fair value both on the date of issuance and on subsequent accounting period ending dates, with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the statements of operations. Equity-classified warrants are accounted for at consideration received on the issuance date with no changes in fair value recognized after the issuance date. As of December 31, 2022, all of the Company’s outstanding warrants are equity-classified warrants. See Note 6d. t. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance will be effective for Emerging Growth Companies (EGCs, as defined by the SEC) for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023, including interim periods within that year. No significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This guidance is effective for public business entities except for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method, and such adoption did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or net loss per share. u. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |

License agreement CRT Pioneer Fund License Agreement In May 2021, the Company entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with the CRT Pioneer Fund for CP800 and any of its derivatives, (collectively, the “CP800 Program”). CP800 is a small molecule drug candidate that the Company believes can be applied to a broad range of cancers. Prior to licensing by the Company, CRT was the commercial owner of the CP800 Program, which it acquired from the Institute of Cancer Research in London, UK (“ICR”). The ICR is a world-renowned research institute focused on the discovery and preclinical development of cancer therapeutics pursuant to the license agreement, the Company has an obligation to pay success-based milestones and royalties to CRT, as follows: 1) pre-approval milestone payments of up to approximately $26.5 million including an upfront nonrefundable payment of $3.5 million and $1.0 million in patient recruitment milestones which has already been paid; 2) regulatory approval and commercial sales milestones of up $178 million (in addition to the above $26.5 million); and 3) mid-single digit to 10% royalties on a tiered basis on net sales. In addition, in connection with the licensing agreement, the Company will provide ICR with up to an additional $500,000 in research and development support over the next 18 months to conduct additional scientific research and preclinical testing for certain indications that the Company selects in connection with the CP800 Program. According to the license agreement the Company has also exclusive license to intellectual property rights developed in the collaboration, to research, develop and commercialize products resulting from the collaboration. On March 31, 2022, the Company and ICR revised the agreement for research and development support to a total of $865,000 (to allow for additional research activities). $0.3 million and zero of expense of the research and development support was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The expense from the revised agreement will be recognized over eighteen months beginning at the date of the revised agreement. As of December 31, 2022, there are nine months remaining for this expense to be recognized. License Term The license will remain in effect in each territory subject to the license and will continue until the Company’s obligation to pay royalties in such territory has expired.

CRT may earlier terminate the license if the Company, or any of our affiliates or sub-licensees, challenge or seek to challenge the validity of any of the licensed patents or upon a change of control in which the Company becomes controlled by a Tobacco Party, as such term is defined in the license. Either party may terminate the license upon material breach by the other party, and upon the appointment of a receiver or upon a winding-up order or similar or equivalent action. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company paid $1.0 million in license fees associated with the achievement of certain milestones. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid the upfront payment of $3.5 million. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, these expenses were recorded as research and development expenses. Any potential future research support, milestone or royalty payment amounts have not been accrued at December 31, 2022 and 2021 due to the uncertainty related to the achievement of these events, milestones or commitments to additional research. University of Edinburgh License Agreement In August 2021, the Company entered into a worldwide, exclusive license agreement with the University Court of the University of Edinburgh (“Edinburgh” or “University” or “Parties” or “UoE”) for the second drug candidate. The Company is obligated to pay success-based milestones and royalties to the UoE, as follows: (1) pre-approval milestone payments of up to approximately $49.5 million including an upfront nonrefundable payment of $3.5 million which has already been paid and $0.5 million on the first anniversary of the effective date of this agreement.

REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT | NOTE 6 – REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED SHARES AND SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT: a. In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved and declared a 100 :1 stock split of common shares with a par value of $0.00001 and preferred shares, with a par value of $0.00001 . In addition, the Company increased the number of authorized common shares from 3,900,000 to 12,870,000 and preferred shares from 40,000 to 170,000 . In addition, on October 23, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 39 :1 stock split. As a result of the above splits, all shares, options and warrants exercisable into common shares and restricted stock units, exercise prices and income or loss per share amounts have been adjusted on a retroactive basis for all periods presented to reflect such stock splits. On February 3, 2022, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation such that the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock authorized to be issued was increased to 65,000,000, with 5,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001, and 60,000,000 shares designated as common stock with a par value of $0.00001. On February 8, 2022, the Company completed an IPO in which it sold 3,200,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share and received net proceeds of $13.6 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions, of $1.1 million and expenses of $1.8 million. Additionally, on February 8, 2022, in connection with the closing of the IPO, 5,012,280 shares of Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, respectively, automatically converted into an equal number of shares of common stock. There were no shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022. b. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares During June and July 2021, the Company entered into an investment agreement with its founders and certain new investors to issue 128,520 redeemable convertible preferred shares (“Preferred Stock”) in a total amount of approximately $15.3 million in which $1.73 million were invested by related parties on the same terms as all investors in the Preferred Stock. Conversion Rights Trigger Events — Upon either (a) the closing of a Deemed Liquidation Event, (b) an initial public offering the Corporation’s securities on a major public stock exchange (including, without limitation and for illustration purposes, the Nasdaq Stock Market’s National Market or the New York Stock Exchange) resulting in at least $15,000,000 of proceeds to the Corporation, or (c) the vote or written consent of the majority of the Preferred Stockholders (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), then (i) all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the then effective conversion rate as calculated as follows — each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price ($119.0476) by the Conversion Price ($3.05 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization or event with respect to the applicable Preferred Stock). Such initial Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as detailed in the Company’s Certified of Incorporation in effect at the time of conversion (as of December 31, 2021 the conversion is $3.05 per share) (ii) such shares may not be reissued by the Corporation. During February 2022 the company completed the IPO and the convertible preferred stock were converted to common shares. c. Rights of the Company’s common shares The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The holders of our common stock do not have any cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. The Company’s common stock has no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the Company common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all debts and other liabilities and any liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. As of December 31, 2022, no dividends have been declared. d. Private Placement in Public Entity On July 29, 2022, the Company closed a private placement offering (the “July Private Placement”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated July 27, 2022. In connection with the July Private Placement, the Company issued 1,015,598 shares of common stock (the “Shares”), pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 909,091 shares of common stock and preferred investment options (the “Preferred Investment Options”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,924,689 shares of common stock. The purchase price of each Share and each Pre-Funded Warrant was the $8.25. The purchaser received one Preferred Investment Option for no consideration, with each Share or Pre-Funded Warrant purchased. The aggregate net cash proceeds to the Company from the July Private Placement were approximately $14.3 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Pre-Funded Warrants had an exercise price of $0.001 per share, were exercisable on or after August 24, 2022, and are exercisable until the Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full. Pre-Funded Warrants totaling 909,091 were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2022, and as such the Company issued 909,091 shares of common stock on that date. The Preferred Investment Options are exercisable at any time on or after January 23, 2023 through January 29, 2026, at an exercise price of $9.65 per share, subject to certain adjustments as defined in the Agreement.

In addition, the Company issued warrants to the placement agent to purchase up to 115,481 shares of common stock. The placement agent warrants are in substantially the same form as the Preferred Investment Options, except that the exercise price is $10.31. The Preferred Investment Options, the Pre-Funded Warrants, and the placement agent warrants are collectively referred to as the “Private Placement Warrants”. The Company evaluated the terms of the Private Placement Warrants and determined that they should be classified as equity instruments based upon accounting guidance provided in ASC 480 and ASC 815-40. Since the Company determined that the Private Placement Warrants were equity-classified, the Company recorded the proceeds from the July Private Placement, net of issuance costs, within common stock at par value and the balance of the net proceeds to additional paid in capital. As of December 31, 2022, the outstanding Preferred Investment Options, and the placement agent warrants were not exercisable. In connection with the July Private Placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the certain purchasers defined therein, dated July 27, 2022 (the “July Registration Rights Agreement”). The July Registration Rights Agreement required the Company to file a registration statement covering the resale of all of the securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on August 15, 2022. The registration statement on Form S-1 was declared effective on August 24, 2022. |

SHARE BASED PAYMENTS | NOTE 7 – SHARE BASED PAYMENTS a. Share Based Payments In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved issuance of common shares in a total amount of 605,514 each with par value of $0.00001 per share including amount of 238,914 to service providers and an amount of 366,600 to the Company founders at an estimated value of approximately $1.4 million. These common shares are fully vested on the grant date. The fair value of common shares was evaluated at the grant date using hybrid pricing model with a combination of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (OPM) and the P-WERM model for various possible scenarios. For the various scenarios modeled, volatility is based on a combination of historical volatilities of companies in comparable stages as well as companies in the industry by statistical analysis of daily share pricing model. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the time period until a liquidity event occurs. The expected term represents the period of time until a liquidity event occurs. The following table summarizes assumptions used for the OPM model at the grant date: Risk-free interest rate 0.79 % Expected dividend yield — Expected term (in years) 4.9 Expected volatility 107 % In February 2022, the Company granted to. the underwriter of the IPO, 128,000 fully vested warrants upon the IPO, exercisable into common stock with an exercise price of $6.25 per share for 5 years after the grant date. The 128,000 fully vested warrants have an estimated value (based on Black-Scholes model) of approximately $458,000 and were recognized as a reduction from gross proceeds of the IPO. No warrants have been exercised as of December 31, 2022. The following table summarizes assumptions used for the Black-Scholes model at the grant date: Risk-free interest rate 1.78 % Common share price $ 5.00 Expected dividend yield — Expected term (in years) 5 Expected volatility 99 % In July 2022, the Company granted to the private placement agent of July Private Placement, 115,481 warrants which become exercisable any time between January 23, 2023 and January 29, 2026, exercisable into common stock with an exercise price of $10.31 per share. The 115,481 warrants have an estimated value (based on Black-Scholes model) of approximately $618,000. No warrants have been exercised as of December 31, 2022. The following table summarizes assumptions used for the Black-Scholes model at the grant date: Risk-free interest rate 2.86 % Common share price $ 9.26 Expected dividend yield 0 Expected term (in years) 3.5 Expected volatility 86.06 % Volatility was estimated based on the historic volatility of comparable public companies. b. 2021 Incentive Plan In May 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved an equity incentive plan (hereafter — “2021 Plan”), in which the Company has reserved a total amount of 408,486 common shares for issuance in connection with the Option Agreement. In February 2022, the Company’s board of directors approved an increase to total shares under the incentive plan to 1,500,000. The 2021 Plan provides for a variety of stock-based compensation awards, including stock options, restricted stock unit awards, or other stock. Under the 2021 Plan, the Company generally grants stock-based awards with service-based vesting conditions only. Options and restricted stock unit awards granted typically vest over a three-year period, but may be granted with different vesting terms. Mr. Ron Bentsur, Dr. Enrique Poradosu and Mr. Shay Shemesh will be eligible for fully vested shares of common stock equal to 1%, 0.5% and 0.5%, respectively, of the then fully diluted share count when the Company reaches an average capitalization over a 30-day period of $350 million or higher. As of December 31, 2022, the market capitalization has not been achieved. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2022, for the 2021 Incentive Plan: Weighted Number of Weighted average average Aggregated shares under Exercise price per remaining Intrinsic value option Option life (in thousands) Balance, December 31, 2021 226,590 3.05 9.07 492 Granted 85,000 7.25 Exercised — — Forfeited — — Outstanding – December 31, 2022 311,590 4.20 8.79 1,042 Exercisable – December 31, 2022 75,582 3.05 8.60 Expected to vest – December 31, 2022 311,590 4.20 8.79 1,042 As of December 31, 2022, there was $0.6 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.82 years, excluding warrants which vest upon completion of an IPO or PIPE. The fair value of each option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The volatility is based on a combination of historical volatilities of companies in comparable stages as well as companies in the industry by statistical analysis of daily share pricing model. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the options granted in dollar terms. The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that the granted options are expected to remain outstanding based on common practice in the industry. Common share price is calculated using the model described. The following table summarizes the Black-Scholes assumptions used at the grant date: Year Ended Grant Dates May – December 2022 November 2021 Risk-free interest rate 2.39% - 2.88% 0.80% - 1.37% Expected dividend yield — — Common share price $ 7.02 - $11.99 $2.28 - $2.97 Expected term (in years) 10 5 – 10 Expected volatility 89.36% 88% – 107% Restricted stock Units Restricted stock units (RSUs) have been granted to employees and directors. The value of an RSU award is based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant using hybrid pricing model with a combination of the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (OPM) and the P-WERM model for various possible scenarios. The shares underlying the RSU awards are not issued until the RSUs vest. Upon vesting, each RSU converts into one share of the Company’s common stock. The Company has granted RSUs pursuant to the 2021 plan. On April 1, 2022, the Company issued 120,000 RSUs to Mr. Ron Bentsur and 60,000 RSUs each 1/3 The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2021, as described above from the 2021 Incentive Plan: Number of Weighted Weighted average Aggregated shares under average grant contractual term Intrinsic value option date fair value (in years) (in thousands) Balance, December 31, 2021 47,580 2.49 2.72 114 Granted 307,100 7.63 Vested (15,873) 3.05 Outstanding – December 31, 2022 338,807 7.15 2.22 2,541 Expected to vest – December 31, 2022 338,807 7.15 2.22 2,541 As of December 31, 2022, there was $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICI_2
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2022 | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
Basis of Presentation | a. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and stated in U.S. dollars. The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: |
Segment Reporting | b. Segment Reporting The Company has one operating segment. An operating segment is defined as a component that engages in business activities whose operating results are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources and for which discrete financial information is available. |
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements | c. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses in the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant estimates in the Company’s financial statements relate to accruals for research and development expenses, valuation of equity awards, and valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, future expectations, and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. |
Functional and Presentation Currency | d. Functional and Presentation Currency The U.S. dollar (“dollar”) is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company are conducted and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the functional currency of the Company is the dollar. e. Functional and Presentation Currency Adjustments arising from foreign currency transactions between the purchase and the settlement dates are reflected in the statements of operations as a component of financial income (expense). For non-dollar transactions and other items in the statements of operations (indicated below), the following exchange rates are used: (i) for transactions — exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates; and (ii) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation) — historical exchange rates. The Company did not recognize net foreign currency transaction gains or losses in the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | f. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers as cash equivalents all highly liquid investments, which include short-term bank deposits that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, with maturities of three months or less at the date acquired. |
Concentrations of Credit Risk | g. Concentrations of Credit Risk The Company is subject to credit risk from holding its cash and cash equivalents at one commercial bank. The Company limits its exposure to credit losses by investing in money market accounts which are included in cash and cash equivalents through a U.S. bank with high credit ratings. Cash may consist of deposits held with banks that may at times exceed federally insured limits, however, exposure to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institution is limited to the extent of amounts recorded on the balance sheets. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. |
Leases | h. Leases In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, the Company defines a short-term lease if a lease has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. At the inception of the lease and as of December 31, 2022, the Company determined all leases were classified as short-term. Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in general and administrative. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The operating lease costs for 2022 and 2021 were $13 thousand and $11 thousand, respectively. |
Research and Development Expenses | i. Research and Development Expenses Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including licensing fees, cost of salaries, share-based compensation expenses, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, subcontractors, materials used for research and development activities, and professional services. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred. |
General and Administrative | j. General and Administrative General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses, including employee salaries, bonuses, benefits, and share-based compensation, and recruiting costs for personnel in executive, finance, and other administrative functions. Other significant general and administrative expenses include legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, professional fees for accounting, tax and consulting services, insurance costs, and travel expenses. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred. |
Loss Contingencies | k. Loss Contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the date of the financial statements, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. Management applies the guidance in ASC 450-20-25 when assessing losses resulting from contingencies. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is recorded as accrued expenses in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material are disclosed. As of December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, no contingent liabilities have been recognized. |
Share-Based Compensation | l. Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for employees’, directors’ and service providers’ share-based payment awards classified as equity awards using the grant-date fair value method. The fair value of share-based payment transactions is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The equity awards could come in the form of options, warrants and RSUs. The Company elected to recognize compensation costs for awards using the accelerated method based on the multiple-option award approach. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. For stock options containing a market condition, the market conditions are required to be considered when calculating the grant date fair value. ASC 718 requires selection of a valuation technique that best fits the circumstances of an award. (see note 7). In order to reflect the substantive characteristics of the market condition option award, a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model was used to calculate the grant date fair value of such stock options. Expense for the market condition stock options is recognized over the derived service period as determined through the Monte Carlo simulation model. |
Comprehensive Loss | m. Comprehensive Loss Comprehensive loss includes no items other than net loss. |
Income Taxes | n. Income Taxes 1) Deferred taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (hereafter – “ASC 740”). ASC 740 prescribes that Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred taxes will not be realized in the foreseeable future. Given the Company’s losses, the Company concluded it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will not be realized and has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. 2) Uncertainty in income taxes The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740-10. The Company follows a two-step approach in recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained based on technical merits. If this threshold is met, the second step is to measure the tax position as the largest amount that has more than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not have any provision for uncertain tax positions. |
Net Loss Per Share | o. Net Loss Per Share The Company’s basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, without consideration of potentially dilutive securities. The diluted net loss per share is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period using the treasury share method or the if-converted method based on the nature of such securities. Diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share in periods when the effects of potentially dilutive shares of ordinary shares are anti-dilutive. The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method required for participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to ordinary shareholders for the period to be allocated between ordinary shares and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The Company considered its redeemable convertible preferred shares to be participating securities as the holders of the redeemable convertible preferred shares would be entitled to dividends that would be distributed to the holders of ordinary shares on a pro-rata basis assuming conversion of all redeemable convertible preferred shares into ordinary shares. These participating securities do not contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses. As such, net loss for the periods presented was not allocated to the Company’s preferred shares. The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per Ordinary Share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the years presented: For the year ended For the year ended December 31, December 31, 2022 2021 Common shares issuable in relation to: Warrants* 344,894 81,003 Options* 311,590 226,590 RSU* 548,237 241,137 Redeemable convertible preferred shares — 5,012,280 *- Adjusted to reflect stock splits, see note 6a. |
Fair Value Measurement | p. Fair Value Measurement The Company follows authoritative accounting guidance, which among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (at exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value include: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of money market funds. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. The money market accounts included in cash and cash equivalents are considered Level 1. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there were no transfers between fair value measure levels. The Company had no financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Other financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values. |
Deferred Offering Costs | q. Deferred Offering Costs Deferred offering costs consist of legal and other costs incurred in connection with the formation and preparation for the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) or the Private Investment in Public Entity (“PIPE”). These costs, along with underwriting fees were charged to additional paid-in capital upon the completion of the IPO or PIPE. The deferred offering costs were offset against the proceeds received upon the completion of the IPO or PIPE. Deferred offering costs are recorded under other non-current assets on the accompanying balance sheets. |
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares | r. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Shares When the Company issues convertible preferred shares, it considers the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) in order to determine whether the preferred share should be classified as a liability. If the instrument is not within the scope of ASC 480, the Company further analyzes the instrument’s characteristics in order to determine whether it should be classified within temporary equity (mezzanine) or within permanent equity in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480-10-S99. The Company’s redeemable convertible preferred shares are not mandatorily or currently redeemable. However, they include a liquidation or deemed liquidation events that would constitute a redemption event that is outside of the Company’s control. As such, all shares of redeemable preferred shares have been presented outside of permanent equity. Upon the consummation of the IPO, all of the Company's preferred stocks were converted into common stock and reclassified from temporary equity, into permanent equity. |
Warrants | s. Warrants The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants that are issued, as either liability or equity, by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, (“ASC 480-10”), and then in accordance with ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (“ASC 815-40”). Under ASC 480-10, warrants are considered liability-classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the issuer to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares. If the warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude equity classification, the Company assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP. After all relevant assessments are made, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability-classified warrants are required to be accounted for at fair value both on the date of issuance and on subsequent accounting period ending dates, with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded as a component of other income (expense), net in the statements of operations. Equity-classified warrants are accounted for at consideration received on the issuance date with no changes in fair value recognized after the issuance date. As of December 31, 2022, all of the Company’s outstanding warrants are equity-classified warrants. See Note 6d. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | t. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance will be effective for Emerging Growth Companies (EGCs, as defined by the SEC) for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023, including interim periods within that year. No significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2020-06, Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This guidance is effective for public business entities except for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021. For all other entities, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method, and such adoption did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows or net loss per share. u. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. |
