NewStem will need to obtain additional funds to continue its operations. NewStem management’s plans with regard to these matters include continued development, marketing and licensing of its products, as well as seeking additional financing arrangements. Although management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient cash from sales, licensing or financing on terms acceptable to the Company. NewStem obtained additional funding of approximately $ 1,450,000 The aforementioned events indicate significant difficulties to continue as a concern. Additionally, Israel declared a state of war in October 2023 which resulted in a decrease in Israel’s economic and business activity. The security situation in Israel led to a disruption in the chain of supply and production, a decrease in the volume of national transportation, and a shortage in manpower as well as a decrease in the value of financial assets. As a result of the movement and work restrictions, NewStem began operating on a limited scale. Additionally, the situation has brought further difficulties in management’s efforts to seek additional financing.
