Since the controlling owners of Zero Candida Ltd. gain control of the company, it was determined that Zero Candida Ltd. is the accounting acquirer of the activity and therefore the transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition which does not constitute Business combination.

The Product
The Company developed a smart tampon-like device, designed to treat Candidiasis, a very common fungal infection. The device is based on smart technology that distributes light and a sensor that gathers and conveys data. The technology and the sensor are patented and together they provide focused and very precise treatment, supported by proven scientific data.
The Company aims to create an approved pilot prototype for pre-clinical safety testing, followed by clinical testing on humans, that will start by the beginning of 2025.
Patents
On May 2023, the Company was granted a South African patent (Patent No: 2022/09265), As of the valuation date the has applied for Patents in Israel, the US, and Canada. The abstract in the patent application states the following claims:
“Bio adhesive mini tablets offer potential for improved residence time in the vaginal cavity targeting contact with mucosal tissue and prolonged release of the drug. Mini tablets with a matrix of either HPMC or HPC were found to possess adequate mechanical strength, bio adhesive behavior towards cow vaginal tissue, and show pH independent controlled release of the drug, suggesting that both systems are equally suited for the treatment of both pre- and post-menopausal women. Mini-tablet formulations based on MC or HEC were mechanically weaker and disintegrated fast upon contact with fluids and therefore released the full drug load within a few minutes. Bio adhesion towards vaginal tissue could not be successfully evaluated, either in the rotating cylinder test or in the detachment test”.

C. Material event in the reporting period
Effects of the “Iron Swords” war
Following the brutal attacks on Israel, the mobilization of army reserves and the Government declaration of a state of war (“Iron Swords” war) in October 2023, there was a decrease in Israel’s economic and business activity. The security situation has led, inter alia, to a disruption in the chain of supply and production, a decrease in the volume of national transportation, a shortage in manpower as well as a decrease in the value of financial assets and a rise in the exchange rate of foreign currencies in relation to the shekel.
The Company has examined the effects of the aforesaid and based on several scenarios that were examined, has reached the conclusion that the Company is able to continue paying its liabilities in the foreseeable future. In this examination, the Company relied on forecasts and on the liquid assets at its disposal, unutilized credit facilities, possibilities for cost cutting, streamlining plans, unencumbered assets, and so forth.
D. Disclosure of certain risks and uncertainties
The Company’s operations of developing and designing a medical device is subject to local and international regulatory requirements and standards and is characterized by frequent significant changes in technology and requirements heavy regulations in the global market and the Israeli market.
The Company is in a preliminary development phase and its success depends on several factors including, among others: the knowledge and technology it has in comparison to its competitors, compliance with regulatory and standard requirements, dependence on professional and key personnel, fund raising for R&D activity and finding a strategic partner for penetrating the global market. Some of the Company’s competitors or potential competitors may have greater or better knowledge, technology, financial resources, and business experience. Therefore, the Company’s ability to continue and achieve its research and development goals and plans and the ability to introduce to the markets medical devices that meets market requirements in quality and prices are not guaranteed.
The Company’s activity is affected by the various supervisory authorities’ policy to approve its products. Delayed or refused approval to develop and market products by the Company will negatively affect further development and the progression to the next development phase. Hence the field of therapeutic vaccine combines varied and numerous uncertainties. Even at a very late stage of development, the product may not perform as expected or may fail to meet various regulatory criteria. Consequently, development may cease with a loss of the vast resources invested prior thereto.
The Company’s research and development operations is dependent upon certain key personnel including related parties.
