SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report, including statements in “Part 1, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report may include, for example, statements about:

•

our ability to maintain the listing of our ordinary shares and our warrants on Nasdaq;

•

our current and planned pre-clinical and clinical studies and trials involving our product candidates;

•

our projected timeline for regulatory approvals of our product candidates;

•

our market opportunity;

•

our strategy, future operations, financial position, projected costs, prospects and plans;

•

expectations regarding the time during which we will be an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act;

•

our ability to retain or recruit officers, key employees and directors;

•

the impact of the regulatory environment and complexities with compliance related to such environment;

•

expectations regarding future partnerships or other relationships with third parties; and

•

our future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash, including our ability to obtain additional capital in the future.

The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including:

•

we are a development-stage company and have a limited operating history on which to assess our business;

•

we have never generated any revenue from product sales and may never be profitable;

•

we will need to raise substantial additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and which will cause dilution to our shareholders;

•

the approach we are taking to discover and develop novel RNAi therapeutics is unproven for oncology and may never lead to marketable products;

•

we do not have experience producing our product candidates at commercial levels, currently have no marketing and sales organization, have an uncertain market receptiveness to our product candidates, and are uncertain as to whether there will be insurance coverage and reimbursement for our potential products;

•

we may be unable to attract, develop and/or retain our key personnel or additional employees required for our development and future success;

•

we may issue additional ordinary shares or other equity securities without your approval, including: (a) up to $15,337,500 of ordinary shares issuable under the ELOC Agreement (which includes shares already issued under that agreement); (b) ordinary shares underlying 4,138,211 outstanding warrants (as of March 31, 2025); and (c) ordinary shares underlying the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note, the issuance of which would dilute your ownership interest and may depress the market price of our ordinary shares; and

•

those additional factors described in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the 2024 Annual Report.

For further information regarding those important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to “Part I, Item 1.A Risk Factors” of the 2024 Annual Report. Our securities filings can be accessed on the EDGAR section of the SEC’s website at www.sec.report. Except as expressly required by applicable securities laws, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(U.S. dollars in thousands)

NOTE 1 - GENERAL:

Silexion Therapeutics Corp (“New Silexion”) (hereinafter - the “Company” or the “Combined Company”) is an entity that was formed for the purpose of effecting the Transactions (see below), and now serves as a publicly-traded holding company of its subsidiaries — including Moringa Acquisition Corp (“Moringa” or “the SPAC”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and Silexion Therapeutics Ltd. (formerly known as Silenseed Ltd.) (“Silexion”), an Israeli limited company— after the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”).

From its formation on April 2, 2024 until the consummation of the Transactions on August 15, 2024, the Company had no operations and had been formed for the sole purpose of entering into the Transactions and serving as the publicly-traded company following the Transactions. Silexion, on the other hand, as the accounting acquirer in the Transactions and the predecessor entity to the Company from an accounting perspective, had active operations during earlier periods of time, prior to the Transactions. Consequently, these financial statements reflect the financial information of Silexion (as the predecessor entity to the Company) until August 15, 2024 and the financial information of New Silexion (as the combined company following the Transactions) from that date forward.

On April 3, 2024, Silexion entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (hereinafter, the “A&R BCA”) with the SPAC, New Silexion, August M.S. Ltd. an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion (“Merger Sub 1”), and Moringa Acquisition Merger Sub Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion (“Merger Sub 2”). Under the A&R BCA, both Silexion and the SPAC were to become wholly-owned subsidiaries of New Silexion, which was to become a publicly-held, Nasdaq-listed entity (the A&R BCA and related transactions: the “Transactions”).

On August 15, 2024, the parties completed the Transactions pursuant to which Merger Sub 2 merged with and into the SPAC, with the SPAC continuing as the surviving company of such merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion (the “SPAC Merger”), and Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Silexion, with Silexion continuing as the surviving company of such merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Silexion (the “Acquisition Merger”).

In connection with the closing of the Transactions, the ordinary shares and warrants of New Silexion are now listed on the Nasdaq Global Market and began trading under the symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW”, respectively.

In October 2024, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of attacks on civilian and military targets. Following the attack, Israel’s security cabinet declared war against Hamas and commenced a military campaign against Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

The Company’s headquarters are located in the central region of Israel. As of the issuance date of these consolidated financial statements, the conflict between Israel and Hamas has not had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position, if at all. The Company cannot currently predict the intensity or duration of Israel’s war against Hamas, however, as most of the Company’s trials are not executed in Israel, the Company does not believe the recent terrorist attack and the subsequent declaration of war by the Israeli government against the Hamas terrorist organization will have any material impact on its ongoing operations. The Company continues to monitor its ongoing activities and will make any needed adjustments to ensure continuity of its business, while supporting the safety and well-being of its employees.

Any hostilities involving Israel, or the interruption or curtailment of trade within Israel or between Israel and its trading partners could adversely affect the Company’s operations and results of operations and could make it more difficult for the Company to raise capital.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (continued):

On November 22, 2024, the Company announced a prospective 1-for-9 reverse share split of all of its issued and outstanding, and authorized but unissued, ordinary shares. The reverse share split resulted in a corresponding increase in the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares, from $0.0001 per share to $0.0009 per share. No fractional shares have been issued as a result of the reverse split, as any fractional share totals to which shareholders become entitled have been rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. The reverse share split became effective after market close on November 27, 2024, and the Company’s ordinary shares began trading on a reverse split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Global Market on November 29, 2024. All references made to ordinary shares, preferred shares and per share amounts (for each of New Silexion and Silexion) in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse share split.

Going concern:

Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to research and development, clinical trials, and capital raising activities. The Company is still in its development and clinical stage and has not yet generated revenues.

The Company (or, for those periods prior to the Transactions, its predecessor, Silexion) has incurred losses of $1,735 and $16,519 for the three-months period ended on March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. During the three-month period ended on March 31, 2025, the Company had negative operating cash flows of $2,453. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,152.

The Company expects to continue incurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives, including financing via the ELOC Agreement, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities, general and administrative expenses and working capital through fund raising. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such funding.

Under these circumstances, in accordance with the requirements of ASC 205-40, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are issued. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial statements and follow the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2025, and the consolidated results of operations, statements of changes in redeemable convertible preferred shares and shareholders’ equity (capital deficiency) and cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

The consolidated results for the three-month ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2025. The significant accounting policies adopted and used in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

Use of estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. As applicable to these financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to fair value of financial instruments. See Note 7, respectively. 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.

Restricted cash

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company pledged an amount of $56 and $57, respectively in favor of a bank as collateral for guarantees provided to secure the lease payments.

The Company is required to hold a minimum amount of NIS 95 in its bank account in order to maintain availability of a credit line from its credit card company.

Fair value measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable

and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:

Level 1:

Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.

Level 2:

Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data or active market data of similar or identical assets or liabilities.

Level 3:

Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. 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.

Concentration of credit risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company deposits cash and cash equivalents mostly with three low risk financial institution. The Company has not experienced any material credit losses in these accounts and does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on these instruments.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):

Recently Adopted accounting pronouncements:

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The ASU clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring its fair value. The ASU also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The ASU also introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2025 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statement.

There have been no changes to the recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted that were previously disclosed in the Annual Report.

NOTE 4 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

Public Offering of Ordinary Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants, and Ordinary Warrants.

On January 15, 2025, and January 17, 2025, the Company offered and sold (the “Offering”) 2,145,998 ordinary shares and 2,145,998 ordinary warrants to purchase up to 2,145,998 ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $1.35 per ordinary share and accompanying warrant, and 1,557,705 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,557,705 ordinary shares and 1,557,705 ordinary warrants to purchase up to 1,557,705 ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $1.3499 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying ordinary warrant. The aggregate gross proceeds from the Offering were approximately $5,000, net of transaction costs of $745.

The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0001 per ordinary share and will not expire until exercised in full. The ordinary warrants have an exercise price of $1.35 per ordinary share, are immediately exercisable, and could be exercised for five years from issuance.

Applying ASC 815-40, the Company concluded that the pre-funded warrants and ordinary warrants are considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and meet the conditions for equity classification, and thus should be presented within equity.

The Company also issued its placement agent warrants to purchase up to 259,259 ordinary shares. Those placement agent warrants have an exercise price of $1.6875 per ordinary share, are exercisable for five years from the date of the commencement of sales in the Offering, and otherwise reflect substantially the same terms as the ordinary warrants sold in the Offering.

As of March 31, 2025, a total of 640,257 investor warrants were exercised into 640,257 the Company’s ordinary shares, and 1,557,705 pre-funded warrants were exercised into 1,557,705 the Company’s ordinary shares, for total proceeds of $864, not including conversion as a result of inducement (see below).

Induced Warrant Exercise Transaction

On January 29, 2025, the Company entered into an inducement offer letter agreement with holders of (“Inducement Offer”) 2,221,523 of the Company’s existing ordinary warrants that had been issued in the Offering. Under the Inducement Offer, on January 30, 2025, those holders exercised those warrants for cash and purchased 2,221,523 ordinary shares at a cash exercise price of $1.35 per share. In consideration, the Company’s issued them new ordinary warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,221,523 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (“New Ordinary Warrants”). The exercising holders also paid the Company an additional $0.125 per New Ordinary Warrants issued to them. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3,276 from the exercise of the existing warrants by the holders, net of placement agent fees and other offering expenses of $462. The induced conversion of equity-classified warrants was accounted as issuance costs of the New Ordinary Warrants.

Upon exercise for cash of any New Ordinary Warrants, in certain circumstances, the placement agent will receive a cash fee of 8.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price. The Company also issued the placement agent warrants to purchase up to 155,507 ordinary shares, which have the same terms as the New Ordinary Warrants issued in the transactions, except that the placement agent warrants have an exercise price equal to $1.8438 per share. Upon exercise for cash of any New Ordinary Warrants, in certain circumstances, the Company will issue the placement agent warrants representing 7.0% of the ordinary shares underlying such new warrants. As of March 31, 2025, the payment of cash fee and issuance of additional warrants upon exercise of New Ordinary Warrants were not probable.

Both the New Ordinary Warrants and the placement agent warrants are immediately exercisable from the date of issuance until the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the resale registration statement.

In measuring the fair value of the Company’s Promissory Notes, a discount rate of 13.94%-14.28% was used, based on a B- rated US dollar zero-coupon discount curve, plus a credit spread of 7.56%. The expected timing of conversion or repayment of the notes was determined using the Company’s forecasts.

NOTE 7 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued):

Warrants over ordinary shares

A Black-Scholes-Merton model with Level 3 inputs was used to calculate the Company’s warrants’ fair value. Inherent in a Black-Scholes-Merton model are assumptions related to expected life (term), expected stock price, volatility, risk-free interest rate and dividend yield. The Company estimates the volatility of its warrants based on implied volatility from the Company’s traded warrants and from historical volatility of selected peer companies’ Class A ordinary shares that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend rate is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates will remain at zero.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurement inputs of the warrants:

	March 31
	2025
Volatility		92.84	%
Dividend yield		0	%

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, trade payables and other liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.

NOTE 8 - NET LOSS PER SHARE:

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders for the periods presented (USD in thousands, except per share data):

	Three months ended March 31
	2025		2024
Numerator:
Net loss for the year	$	1,735	$	1,423
Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, basic and diluted:	$	1,735	$	1,373
Denominator:
Weighted-average shares used in computing net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders, basic and diluted		6,779,205		111,726
Net loss per share attributable to ordinary shareholders, basic and diluted	$	0.26	$	12.29

Basic loss per share is computed on the basis of the net loss for the period divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, including fully vested pre-funded options for the Company’s ordinary shares at an exercise price of $0.0226 or 0.0226 NIS per share, as well as pre-funded warrants with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share as the Company considers these shares to be exercised for little to no additional consideration.

As of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, the basic loss per share calculation included a weighted average number of 103 and 7,869, respectively, of fully vested pre-funded options. As the inclusion of other potential ordinary shares equivalents in the calculation would be anti-dilutive for all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share.

NOTE 10 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates as a single operating segment in the research and development of innovative treatments for pancreatic cancer based on siRNAs. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CODM reviews the Company’s performance on a consolidated basis. As such, the segment’s loss is the Company’s consolidated net loss and the segment’s assets are the Company’s consolidated assets.

The CODM uses the information primarily to evaluate the Company’s performance and allocate resources. This includes reviewing key financial metrics such as budget versus actual expenditures, tracking progress on research and development milestones, and assessing overall cash flow and liquidity to ensure the continuity of operations. This approach allows the CODM to monitor the Company's performance and make strategic adjustments as needed to support its operational and financial goals.

The CODM reviews the Company’s results on a consolidated basis. As such, information on segment loss and significant expenses is similar to the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The CODM is also regularly provided with information on significant ordinary-course expenses, including the following expenses. the management does not segregate its business for internal reporting.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introductory Note

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (this “MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth in this quarterly report, including information with respect to our plans, objectives, expectations, projections, and strategy for our business and related financing, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, including those factors set out in “Part II, Item 1.A. Risk Factors” in this quarterly report, our actual results could differ materially from the results described in or implied by these forward-looking statements. See also the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this quarterly report.

On August 15, 2024, the Closing of the Business Combination by and among our company (also referred to as the “combined company” and “New Silexion”) and our two wholly-owned subsidiaries— Silexion Therapeutics Ltd., an Israeli company (“Silexion”), and Moringa Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Moringa”)— occurred pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” in this MD&A generally refer to: (i) for all periods preceding, and through the Closing of, the Business Combination, Silexion, and, (ii) for all periods following the Closing, New Silexion.

Overview

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company that was originally formed for the purpose of effectuating the Business Combination and that now serves as a publicly-traded holding company for each of Silexion (through which our operations are carried out) and Moringa (which has no operations). Our ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the trading symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW”, respectively.

We conduct operations primarily through our principal subsidiary— Silexion— which is a clinical-stage, oncology-focused biotechnology company engaged in the discovery and development of proprietary treatments for cancers driven by Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (”KRAS”). The KRAS gene is an oncogene that is involved in the regulation of cell division as a result of its ability to relay external signals to the cell nucleus. Based on our research of refractory solid tumor cancers, we are actively developing a platform focused on the silencing of the KRAS oncogene using RNA-interference therapeutics. Our lead product candidate, SIL204, consists of locally administered small interfering RNAs, or siRNA, in an extended-release formulation or solution, as a first-line treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients, in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy.

Prior to the Business Combination, Silexion financed its operations primarily with the net proceeds from private offerings of its ordinary shares and convertible preferred shares, convertible financing agreements and Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) financings, and royalty-bearing grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority (the “IIA”) (which grants totaled $5.8 million through March 31, 2025).

Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, we raised $2.0 million via a private investment in public entity (PIPE) financing, whereby Moringa sold to Greenstar, LP, an affiliate of the sponsor of Moringa, 22,223 newly issued Moringa ordinary shares, at a price of $90.00 per share, which shares converted into an equivalent number of New Silexion ordinary shares at the Closing, Also in connection with the Closing, we entered into the ELOC Agreement with White Lion, which provided us with an equity line of credit of up to $15.0 million (the “ELOC”).We have utilized the ELOC for financings from time to time since the Closing of the Business Combination, having raised an aggregate of $3.1 million from the ELOC through March 31, 2025.

In addition to ongoing financings via the ELOC, as a public company, we have raised capital via the public offering of ordinary shares and/or pre-funded warrants, together with ordinary warrants, having completed our first public offering following the Closing in January 2025, which raised gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. As a follow-up to that public offering, later in January 2025, we completed an induced exercise of ordinary warrants, which raised gross proceeds of approximately $3.3 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. H.C. Wainwright served as the exclusive placement agent for each of those transactions. Those transactions are described in further detail below in this MD&A under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. Our net losses (consisting of Silexion’s net losses for all periods through the Business Combination, and the combined company's net losses for all periods after) were $1.7 million and $16.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $45 million (reflecting Silexion’s accumulated deficit for all periods through August 15, 2024 and the combined company's accumulated deficit from August 16, 2024 through March 31, 2025). We have not recognized any revenue to date.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. The net losses it incurs may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Our expenses will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending to further develop SIL204 and initiate pre-clinical and clinical trials, support research and development efforts, investments in potential additional pipe-line products, and increased overall compensation as we continue to hire additional personnel. We anticipate that our expenses will increase if and as we:

•

apply for Orphan Drug Designation in both the U.S. and EU for our SIL204 product;

•

conduct toxicological studies with respect to SIL204;

•

initiate a clinical trial powered for statistical significance with respect to SIL204;

•

seek marketing approvals for SIL204 in various territories;

•

maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio;

•

hire additional operational, clinical, quality control and scientific personnel;

•

add additional product candidates to our pipeline;

•

add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development, any future commercialization efforts and our status as a public company; and

•

invest in research and development and regulatory approval efforts in order to utilize our technology as a platform focused on the silencing of the KRAS oncogene using RNA-interference therapeutics.

Reverse Share Split

On November 27, 2024, we effected a 1-for-9 reverse share split of our authorized ordinary shares, including our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, with a market effective date of November 29, 2024. Unless specifically provided otherwise herein, all historical share, per share and related option and warrant data during any period (including the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which is used comparatively to the quarter ended March 31, 2025) prior to the reverse share split that is presented in this quarterly report has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares and the increase in the share price which resulted from the reverse share split.

Components of our Results of Operations

Operating Expenses

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, and consist primarily of the cost of payroll and related expenses, payroll taxes and other employee benefits including share-based compensation related to employees, subcontractors costs, preclinical and clinical trials costs and consulting fees.

We expect to continue to invest in research and development to develop SIL204, including hiring additional employees and continuing the research and development of that product candidate. As a result, we expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase in the future.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including share-based compensation related to directors and employees, patent application fees, office space rental costs, and maintenance expenses, external professional service costs, including legal, accounting, audit, insurance, human resource services, travel expenses and other consulting fees.

We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in the future to fund our continued research and development activities, primarily due to increased headcount to support anticipated growth in the business and due to incremental costs associated with operating as a public company, including costs to comply with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, such as costs related to compliance and reporting obligations pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and stock exchange listing standards, public relations, insurance and professional services.

Financial expenses, net

Finance expenses consist primarily of changes in fair value of financial liabilities measured at fair value, interest expenses, and exchange rate differences expenses.

Results of Operations

We are providing within this section a discussion and analysis of our historical statement of operations data in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Our financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report, as well as the financial data and related discussion and analysis contained in this MD&A, relate to Silexion’s financial condition and results of operations as of, and for the three-month period ended, March 31, 2024, as compared to the corresponding information for the combined company as of, and for the three-month period ended, March 31, 2025.

Comparison of three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

Total research and development expenses	$	590	$	961

Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 40.0%, to $0.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. The decrease resulted mainly from a decrease in subcontractors and consultants expenses, in an amount of $0.5 million, as the comparative quarter from 2024 included development activities related to our Application Programming Interface, or API, whereas the current quarter focused on API manufacturing, with the related costs expected to be recognized in the next quarter, partly offset by an increase in payroll and payroll-related expenses of $0.1 million due to additional headcount and increases in salaries following the Closing of the Business Combination in August 2024.

General and Administrative Expenses

The following table summarizes our general and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

	Three-month period ended March 31,

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.8 million, or 266.7%, to $1.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. The increase resulted mainly from an increase of $0.2 million in payroll and payroll-related expenses due to headcount growth and an increase in salaries following the Closing of the Business Combination in August 2024. Additionally, there was an increase in professional services costs in an amount of $0.4 million primarily related to legal, accounting, and other expenses associated with the costs of financing activities as a public company subsequent to the Closing of the Business Combination.

Financial expenses, net

Financial expenses, net decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 50.0%, to $0.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 compared to $0.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was mainly due to a decrease in foreign exchange losses in an amount of $0.1 million.

Net loss

Net loss increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 21.4%, to $1.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. The increase was mainly due to an increase in our general and administrative expenses related to our status as a public company, partly offset by a decrease in research and development expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending to further develop SIL204 and initiate pre-clinical and clinical trials, support research and development efforts, investments in potential additional pipe-line products, and increased overall compensation as we continue to hire additional personnel. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024, we had net losses of $1.7 million and $16.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.2 million.

To date, our principal sources of liquidity have evolved together with our progression as a company. As a private company, we raised proceeds from private offerings of our ordinary shares and convertible preferred shares, grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority, issuance of convertible financing agreements (CFA), and Simple Agreement for Future Equity (SAFE) financings. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, we raised funds from a PIPE in which Greenstar, LP, an affiliate of the sponsor of Moringa (the “Moringa sponsor” or the “sponsor”), purchased Moringa ordinary shares that converted automatically into New Silexion ordinary shares (as described below under “PIPE Financing”). Following the Closing, as a public company with ordinary shares and warrants registered under the Exchange Act and trading on Nasdaq, we have obtained financing in an ongoing manner, from time to time, under the ELOC, pursuant to which we have issued ordinary shares to the ELOC Investor which has resold those shares into the open market (as described below under “ELOC Financing”). We have furthermore completed a registered public offering of ordinary shares and/or pre-funded warrants, along with ordinary warrants, in January 2025 (as described below under “Public Offering via H.C. Wainwright”), and have raised additional funds from the induced exercise of ordinary warrants issued in that offering, which was completed later in January 2025 (please see “Induced Warrant Exercise Transaction” below for further information).

Based on our current business plan, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents, and anticipated cash flow from operations, will not be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for the next 12 months from the date of this quarterly report. We will need to raise additional capital to finance our operations, expand our business and pipeline, or for other reasons.

Note 1(h) to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 included in this quarterly report and Note 1(j) to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our annual report for that fiscal year describe the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of those respective dates. Additionally, in its report accompanying our audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, our independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph stating that our recurring losses from operations and our cash outflows from operating activities raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. That means that our management and independent registered public accounting firm have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue our operations without an additional infusion of capital from external sources. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to finance our operations, our business would be in jeopardy and we might not be able to continue operations and might have to liquidate our assets. In that case, investors might receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025, and it is likely that investors would lose all or a part of their investment.

We have lease obligations and other contractual obligations and commitments as part of our ordinary course of business. See “Note 5: Operating Leases” and “Note 7: Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 (contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for that year) for information about our lease obligations.

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements involving commitments or obligations, including contingent obligations, arising from arrangements with unconsolidated entities or persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.

Public Offering via H.C. Wainwright

On January 15, 2025 and January 17, 2025, we priced and closed, respectively, a registered public offering in which we offered and sold, on a best efforts basis, with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“HCW”) as the sole placement agent (the “HCW Offering”), (i) 2,145,998 ordinary shares, (ii) 1,557,705 pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,557,705 ordinary shares and (iii) 3,703,703 ordinary warrants to purchase up to 3,703,703 ordinary shares, at a purchase price of $1.35 per share and accompanying ordinary warrant, and $1.3499 per pre-funded warrant and accompanying ordinary warrant. Aggregate gross proceeds from the HCW Offering (without taking into account any proceeds from any future exercises of warrants) were approximately $5.0 million.

The pre-funded warrants were immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0001 per ordinary share and did not expire until exercised in full. The ordinary warrants have an exercise price of $1.35 per ordinary share, were immediately exercisable, and could be exercised for five years from issuance.

Holders of the pre-funded and ordinary warrants do not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrants if the holder (together with parties whose beneficial ownership of ordinary shares would be aggregated with the holder’s) would beneficially own ordinary shares in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding ordinary shares following exercise.

Certain investors in the HCW Offering entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement with us, under which we agreed to abide by certain customary standstill restrictions for a period of 60 days following the closing of the HCW Offering. In addition, subject to limited exceptions, the agreement provides that for a period of one year following the closing of the HCW Offering, we will not effect or enter into an agreement to effect a “variable rate transaction” as defined in the agreement.

In accordance with our engagement agreement with HCW, we paid to HCW an aggregate cash placement agent fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by us in the HCW Offering, as well as a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the HCW Offering. We also reimbursed HCW for certain of its expenses in connection with the offering. Pursuant to the engagement agreement, we also issued to HCW (or its designees) 259,259 placement agent warrants to purchase up to 259,259 ordinary shares, representing 7.0% of the sum of the shares and pre-funded warrants sold in the HCW Offering. Those placement agent warrants have an exercise price of $1.6875 per ordinary share (representing 125% of the public offering price per share and accompanying ordinary warrant), are exercisable for five years from the date of the commencement of sales in the HCW Offering, and otherwise reflect substantially the same terms as the ordinary warrants sold in the HCW Offering.

The net proceeds to us from the HCW Offering were approximately $4.26 million after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us. We are using the proceeds from the HCW Offering to advance our pre-clinical clinical studies, and for general corporate purposes.

Induced Warrant Exercise Transaction

On January 29, 2025, we entered into an inducement offer letter agreement with holders of 2,221,523 of our existing ordinary warrants that had been issued in the HCW Offering, under which, on January 30, 2025, those holders exercised those warrants for cash and purchased 2,221,523 ordinary shares at a cash exercise price of $1.35 per share and in consideration of our issuance to them of new ordinary warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,221,523 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The exercising holders also paid us an additional $0.125 per new ordinary warrant issued to them. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3.3 million from the exercise of the existing warrants by the holders, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by us.

We engaged HCW to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the inducement letter and paid HCW a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the holders’ exercise of their existing ordinary warrants, as well as a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the exercise of those warrants. We also issued to HCW or its designees placement agent warrants to purchase up to 155,507 ordinary shares (representing 7.0% of the existing ordinary warrants that were exercised), which have the same terms as the new warrants issued in the transactions, except that the placement agent warrants have an exercise price equal to $1.8438 per share (125% of the sum of the exercise price of the existing warrants exercised in the transactions and the additional $0.125 paid per new ordinary warrant in the transactions). Similar to the new ordinary warrants issued to investors in the transactions, the placement agent warrants are immediately exercisable from the date of issuance until the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the resale registration statement to be filed to cover the resale of shares underlying the new warrants (as described below). We also paid certain fees and expenses in connection with the induced warrant exercise transactions.

Upon exercise for cash of any new warrants issued to investors in the transactions, in certain circumstances, we will (i) pay to HCW a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price, and a cash management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price, and (ii) issue to HCW warrants representing 7.0% of the ordinary shares issued to the investors upon such cash exercise of the new warrants.

We are using the net proceeds from these transactions for general corporate purposes.

ELOC Financing

In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, we entered into the ELOC Agreement, dated August 13, 2024, and effective as of the Closing, with the ELOC Investor, which agreement was amended as of January 14, 2025. Under the ELOC Agreement, we have the right to request to sell to the ELOC Investor, and the ELOC Investor is required to purchase, via private placement transactions, up to $15.0 million of our ordinary shares from time to time after the Closing, up until December 31, 2025 (unless the agreement is terminated sooner), subject to certain limitations and conditions as described therein. The number of ordinary shares that we may require the ELOC Investor to purchase in any single sales notice depends on a number of factors, including the type of purchase notice that we deliver. Similarly, the purchase price to be paid by the ELOC Investor for any shares that we require it to purchase depends on the type of sales notice that we deliver, and is derived from the market price of the our ordinary shares for a certain period of time following our purchase request or as of the date of our purchase request. We also granted registration rights to the ELOC Investor pursuant to an accompanying registration rights agreement, also dated August 15, 2024, by and between New Silexion and the ELOC Investor (the “ELOC Registration Rights Agreement”), for which we have filed a related registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC file number 333-282017).

Pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, we agreed, among other things, that if our sales to the ELOC Investor under the ELOC exceed 19.99% of our total number of ordinary shares outstanding, we will seek the approval of our shareholders for the issuance of any ordinary shares under the ELOC in excess of that amount, in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, subject to certain exceptions based on the price of our ordinary shares to be sold in excess of that limit.

In consideration for the commitments of the ELOC Investor, we agreed to issue to the ELOC Investor an aggregate of $337,500 of our ordinary shares (the “ELOC Commitment Shares”) based on the closing price of the ordinary shares on the day that is the earlier of (i) the business day prior to effectiveness of the registration statement registering the resale of the shares issuable under the ELOC ordinary share purchase agreement and (ii) the business day prior to the 180th day following the date of Closing of the Business Combination. Based on the closing price of the ordinary shares on September 16, 2024, we issued to the ELOC Investor, on September 18, 2024, 40,602 ordinary shares in respect of the ELOC Investor’s commitments under the ELOC Agreement.

Through the date hereof, we have issued and sold an aggregate of 763,713 ordinary shares (which includes the foregoing 40,602 ordinary shares issued as a commitment fee) to the ELOC Investor under the ELOC Agreement for aggregate proceeds to us of approximately $3.1 million.

Settlement of Amounts Due Under Marketing Agreement with EarlyBirdCapital

Prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, Moringa reached agreement with EBC on the reduction, to $1.6 million, in the aggregate, of the fee payable to EBC under the Marketing Agreement. Pursuant to the final invoice provided by EBC under the Marketing Agreement at the Closing, Moringa paid $350,000 of cash to EBC from the trust account at the Closing, and we issued to EBC a convertible note (the “EarlyBird Convertible Note”), which was a convertible promissory note, due December 31, 2025, in an amount of $1.25 million to be paid by us to EBC in cash and/or via conversion of outstanding amounts into ordinary shares. The EarlyBird Convertible Note bore interest at a rate of 6% per annum and by its terms was to mature on December 31, 2025. Through January 31, 2025, we made aggregate payments of $407,556 to EBC in respect of some of the amounts due from us under the EarlyBird Convertible Note as a result of amounts raised by us under the ELOC and the HCW Offering (as described below).

On March 13, 2025, we entered into a letter agreement with EBC, pursuant to which we paid to EBC an additional amount of $400,000 (plus $15,000 for EBC’s legal expenses) (the “Settlement Prepayment Amount”) and EBC agreed to the partial conversion and retirement of all remaining amounts due under the EarlyBird Convertible Note. Under that letter agreement, EBC agreed that the $880,202 principal and interest amount outstanding under the note as of the date of the letter agreement (the “Outstanding Amount”) would be retired in consideration of: (i) our payment in cash of the Settlement Prepayment Amount; (ii) EBC’s conversion of a certain amount of the principal and interest due under the EarlyBird Convertible Note (the “Conversion Amount”) via the issuance by us to EBC of 277,777 ordinary shares (the “EBC Settlement Shares”), which Conversion Amount would equal the net proceeds to be received by EBC from the sale of the EBC Settlement Shares; and (iii) the payment in cash by us to EBC of any remaining amount due under the EarlyBird Convertible Note after deducting the Settlement Prepayment Amount and the Conversion Amount from the Outstanding Amount (the “Remaining Amount”). The resale by EBC of the EBC Settlement Shares was registered under our effective registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC file number 333-282556) as required by the EarlyBird Convertible Note.

On March 17, 2025, EBC sold all 277,777 EBC Settlement Shares under the foregoing Form S-1 registration statement for a Conversion Amount of $344,204, and on March 18, 2025, we paid the Remaining Amount of $135,998 that was due to EBC, resulting in the retirement of the EarlyBird Convertible Note on March 18, 2025.

Issuance of Amended and Restated Sponsor Promissory Note

Effective as of the Closing, we issued to the sponsor, and the sponsor accepted, in amendment and restatement, and replacement, in their entirety, of all existing promissory notes issued by Moringa to the sponsor from Moringa’s initial public offering until the Closing (and as to which the obligations of Moringa were assigned to New Silexion upon the Closing), a convertible promissory note (the “A&R Sponsor Promissory Note”) in an amount of $3,433,000, which reflected the total amount owed by Moringa to the sponsor through the Closing Date. The maturity date of the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note is the 30-month anniversary of the Closing Date (i.e., February 15, 2027). Amounts outstanding under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note may be repaid (unless otherwise decided by us) only by way of conversion into ordinary shares (“Note Shares”) in accordance with the terms set forth in the form of A&R Sponsor Promissory Note. New Silexion and the Sponsor may also convert amounts outstanding under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note at the price per share at which we conduct an equity financing following the Closing, subject to a minimum conversion amount of $100,000, in an amount of Note Shares constituting up to thirty percent (30%) of the number of ordinary shares issued and sold by us in such equity financing. The sponsor may also elect to convert amounts of principal outstanding under the note into ordinary shares at any time following the 24-month anniversary of the date of the Closing, subject to a minimum conversion of $10,000, at a price per share equal to the volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares on the principal market on which they are traded during the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date. Through the date hereof, there have been no conversions of amounts due under the A&R Sponsor Promissory Note into our ordinary shares, and no election by us to repay any amounts under the note in cash.

Government Grants

Our research and development efforts have been financed, in part, through royalty-bearing grants from the Israeli Innovation Authority, or the IIA. As of March 31, 2025, we had received IIA royalty-bearing grants totaling approximately $5.8 million.

We are committed to pay royalties to the IIA at a rate of approximately 3.0% to 5.0% of the sales of all of our product candidates and other related revenues generated from such projects, that were developed, in whole or in part, using the IIA royalty-bearing grants we received under IIA programs up to the total amount of royalty-bearing grants received, linked to the U.S. dollar and bearing annual interest at rates prescribed by the IIA’s rules and guidelines.

We may in the future apply to receive additional grants from the IIA. However, we cannot predict whether we will be entitled to any future grants, or the amounts of any such grants.

Under the Israeli Innovation Law, research and development programs that meet specified criteria and are approved by a committee of the IIA are eligible for grants. A company that receives a royalty-bearing grant from the IIA is typically required to pay royalties to the IIA on income generated from products incorporating IIA-funded know-how (including income derived from services associated with such products and from IIA-funded know-how), up to 100% of the U.S. dollar-linked royalty-bearing grant amount plus interest.

The obligation to pay royalties is contingent on actual income generated from such products and services. In the absence of such income, no payment of royalties is required.

As of March 31, 2025, the total royalty amount that may be payable by the Company is approximately $5.8 million ($6.6 million, including interest).

Cash Flows

Cash flows for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods indicated:

	Three-month period ended March 31,
	2025			2024
	(U.S. dollars, in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of the period	$	1,270		$	4,645

Translation adjustments on cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash		(10	)		(56	)
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of the period	$	6,233		$	2,831

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities increased by approximately $0.7 million, or 38.9%, to $2.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. This increase was mainly due to an increase of $0.3 million in the net loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, as well as an increase of $0.3 million in net working capital in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 relative to the corresponding quarter in 2024.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $7.4 million, to approximately $7.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. This increase was mainly due to an increase in cash received from the HCW Offering in an amount of $5 million net of $0.7 million cash issuance costs related to public offering, the exercise of warrants in an amount of $0.9 million, and the warrant exercise inducement transaction in an amount of $3.3 million (each, as described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”) net of $0.4 million cash issuance costs related to warrants inducement, offset in part by $0.7 million of payments under the EarlyBird Convertible Note in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

Funding Requirements

We expect to devote substantial financial resources to our ongoing and planned activities, particularly further development of SIL204 and as we conduct our planned pre-clinical and clinical trials.

Identifying potential product candidates and conducting pre-clinical testing and clinical trials is a time-consuming, expensive, and uncertain process that takes years to complete, and we may never generate the necessary data or results required to obtain marketing approval and achieve product sales. In addition, our product candidates, if approved, may not achieve commercial success. For additional information please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”), including “Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements — We have never generated any revenue from product sales and may never be profitable” and “Risks Related to the Research and Development of Silexion’s Product Candidates — We are heavily dependent on the success of our product candidates...”.

We expect our expenses to increase substantially in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we advance our pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. In addition, if we obtain marketing approval for SIL204 in any indication or for any other product candidate we are developing or may develop in the future, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product manufacturing, sales, marketing, and distribution. Furthermore, following the closing of the Business Combination, we have been incurring, and expect to continue to incur, additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly, we will need to obtain substantial additional funding.

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•

Material cost.

•

Regulatory pathway; and

•

Human clinical trial costs.

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.2 million. Based on our current cash balance, as well as our history of operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, combined with our anticipated use of cash to, among other things, (i) fund the preclinical and clinical development of our products, (ii) identify and develop new product candidates, and (iii) seek approval for SIL204 and any other product candidates we may develop, our management has concluded that we do not have sufficient cash to fund our operations for 12 months from the date of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 included in this quarterly report without additional financing, and as a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In making this determination, applicable accounting standards prohibited us from considering the potential mitigating effect of plans that have not been fully implemented as of the date of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal three-month period ended March 31, 2025, including, without limitation, our plans to raise additional capital. Our financial information throughout this quarterly report, and our financial statements for the fiscal three-month period ended March 31, 2025 contained herein have been prepared on a basis that assumes that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. This financial information and our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We currently estimate that our existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund business operations into the fourth quarter of 2025.

We have based these estimates and expectations on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us. We could not, as of the March 31, 2025 balance sheet date of the unaudited financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, determine the exact level of funds that will be available to us upon potential equity financings. Our expected use of funds represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business condition, which could change in the future as our plans and business condition evolve and the level of funding available to us becomes clear. In addition, changing circumstances could cause us to consume capital significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control. As a result, we could deplete our capital resources sooner than we currently expect. In addition, because the successful development of SIL204 and any studies or other product candidates that we pursue is highly uncertain, at this time we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing and costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete the development of any product candidate.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial revenues from product sales, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of public and private equity offerings and debt financings, including registered public offerings similar to the HCW Offering completed in January 2025, warrant exercise inducement transactions similar to the one completed later in January 2025, the private placement of ordinary shares pursuant to the ELOC Agreement, strategic alliances, collaborations, and marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements. However, adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, and the availability of such financing may be impacted by the economic climate and market conditions.

Reliance on public offerings, warrant exercise inducement transactions, the ELOC or other similar types of equity financing as a source of ongoing funding for our operations could involve significant issuances of ordinary shares by us that could cause the following impacts (among others):

•

significant dilution to the equity interests of our current shareholders;

•

a deemed change of control of our company due to the issuance of a substantial number of ordinary shares, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in a change in the officers and directors of our company relative to our current officers and directors, to the extent any shareholders build up significant beneficial ownership from ordinary shares issued pursuant to public offerings, warrant exercises or the ELOC;

•

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control; and

•

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our ordinary shares or warrants.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For a description of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the 2024 Annual Report and Note 2 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 included in this quarterly report

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 in conformity with U.S. GAAP required our management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in related footnotes. Actual results may differ from these estimates. We base our judgments on our experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Of our policies, the following are considered critical to an understanding of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as they require the application of subjective and complex judgment, involving critical accounting estimates and assumptions impacting our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The critical accounting estimates relate to the following:

Valuation of Promissory Notes

As part of the Business Combination, we issued to Moringa’s sponsor, as well as EarlyBird, promissory notes, which we irrevocably designated to be measured at fair value. The fair value of those promissory notes is measured using a discount rate based on a B rated US dollar zero-coupon discount curve, plus a credit spread of 7.56%. The discount rate was determined with reference to benchmark interest rates of secured loans reported by venture capitals, which were then used to extract our entity-specific credit spread. Since those notes are not senior secured, one notch downgrade was applied. The expected timing of conversion or redemption of the notes was determined using our management’s forecasts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 on page F-75 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the 2024 Annual Report for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

Smaller Reporting Company Status

We are a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We will continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. As a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements and we have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Section 102(b)(1) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can choose not to take advantage of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, and any such election to not take advantage of the extended transition period is irrevocable.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, and have elected to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period for new or revised financial accounting standards. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.235 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year, or (iv) December 31, 2029. We expect to continue to take advantage of the benefits of the extended transition period, although it may decide to early adopt such new or revised accounting standards to the extent permitted by such standards. This may make it difficult or impossible to compare our financial results with the financial results of another public company that is either not an emerging growth company or is an emerging growth company that has chosen not to take advantage of the extended transition period exemptions because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined under paragraph (f) of Item 10 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC and are exempt from the disclosures under this Item 3 of Part I of Form 10-Q. We note that our funds are invested in demand-deposit interest-bearing bank accounts. The interest accruing in those accounts is subject to fluctuation based on market changes in interest rates. We do not believe that any fluctuation in market interest rates will materially impact the value of those funds in those accounts.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, whom we refer to as our Certifying Officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act.

Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

None.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations, as described in this Quarterly Report, include the risk factors described in “Part I, Item 1.A Risk Factors” section of the 2024 Annual Report. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to those risk factors.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

(a) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Reference is made to the disclosures set forth in “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Liquidity and Capital Resources,” under the sub-headings “Induced Warrant Exercise Transaction” and “Settlement of Amounts Due Under Marketing Agreement with EarlyBirdCapital”, regarding the issuance and sale by the Company of certain unregistered securities, which are incorporated herein by reference in this Part II, Item 2. All such unregistered securities sales were made in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

(b) Use of Proceeds from Initial Registered Offering

The Company’s initial registration statement that became effective under the Securities Act was its registration statement on Form S-4 (SEC File Number 333-279281), which was declared effective by the SEC on July 16, 2024. That registration statement was in respect of the Business Combination, which met the definition of a business combination under Rule 145(a) of the Securities Act. Accordingly, under paragraph (d)(1) of Rule 463 of the Securities Act, no disclosure is required with respect to any use of proceeds of any offering proceeds (if any) related to that registration statement.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES.

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.
