Silexion
Therapeutics Corp (“Silexion”, the “Company” or the “Combined Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology
company developing, through its subsidiaries, RNA interference (RNAi) therapies for KRAS-driven cancers. Silexion’s approach targets
a significant unmet medical need, as treatment innovation for KRAS-driven cancers has historically lagged despite KRAS being one of the
most common oncogenic drivers across solid tumors. Silexion’s lead product candidate, SIL204, is a second-generation siRNA therapy,
designed to silence mutant KRAS, using an integrated treatment approach that combines intratumoral and systemic administration. The Company
was originally formed for the purpose of effecting the Transactions (as defined below). Following the closing of the Transactions on August
15, 2024 (the “Closing”), the Company became a publicly-traded holding company that has one primary active wholly-owned subsidiary
— Silexion Therapeutics Ltd. (formerly known as Silenseed Ltd.) (“Silexion Israel”), an Israeli limited company, through
which much of its operations are conducted, along with certain additional inactive subsidiaries, including Moringa Acquisition Corp (“Moringa”
or the “SPAC”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, and Silenseed (China) Ltd. , a Chinese company.
On
April 3, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (hereinafter, the “A&R BCA”)
with the SPAC, Silexion Israel, August M.S. Ltd. an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 1”),
and Moringa Acquisition Merger Sub Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and additional wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger
Sub 2”). Pursuant to the closing under the A&R BCA, which occurred on August 14, 2024, both Silexion Israel and the SPAC became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, which became a publicly-held, Nasdaq-listed entity whose securities are traded under the ticker
symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW” (the transactions effected pursuant to the A&R BCA are referred to as the “Transactions”).
On
February 9, 2026 the Company purchased a German shelf company for immaterial consideration, which was subsequently renamed Silexion Therapeutics
GmbH (“Silexion Germany”), to conduct the Company’s clinical trials in Germany. As of March 31, 2026, no substantial
activity has commenced in Silexion Germany.
In
October 2023, Israel was attacked by Hamas, a terrorist organization and entered a state of war. Since the commencement of these events,
there have been additional active hostilities, including with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement which controls parts of Yemen,
and with Iran. In response to ongoing Iranian aggression and support of proxy attacks against Israel, on June 12, 2025, Israel conducted
a series of preemptive defensive air strikes in Iran targeting Iran’s nuclear program and military commanders.
On
June 24, 2025, a ceasefire with Iran was reached. On October 9, 2025, Israel, Hamas, the United States and other countries in the region
agreed to a framework for a ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. While that ceasefire has been mostly maintained, in late February
2026, Israel and the United States preemptively attacked Iran. As part of this conflict, Iran and Hezbollah have launched missile attacks
throughout Israel. As a result, the Israeli government imposed restrictions on the opening of non-essential places of business and announced
the recruitment of military reserves. In April 2026, a temporary ceasefire was reached between the United States and Israel, on the one
hand, and Iran, on the other hand. As of the date of these financial statements, it is unclear whether, and for how long, this ceasefire
will continue.
The
Company’s employees and management personnel are located in Israel; however, other core activities, including research and development,
clinical, and regulatory, are conducted outside of Israel. The Company considered the impact of the war and determined that (in part due
to those core activities being conducted outside of Israel) there were no material adverse impacts on the consolidated financial statements,
including related significant estimates made by management, for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2026. Further, as the Company’s
R&D activity is conducted outside of Israel, the Company does not expect future adverse effects of the war on its core activities.
On the other hand, travel restrictions imposed may impact the Company’s ability to raise funds to finance its activities in the
near term.
At
this stage, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of the developments on its future financial position, its results of operations,
or its cash flows, if any. However, as this event is outside the Company’s control, factors such as the continued duration of the
military conflict and its potential expansion into additional areas, as well as other developments, may impact the Company, its financial
position, its ability to conduct financing activities, its results of operations, and its cash flows. The Company continues to monitor
these developments in order to assess the potential effects of the military conflict on its activities.
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 has incurred losses of $2,733
and $11,912
for the three month period ended on March 31, 2026 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, respectively. During the three -month period
ended on March 31, 2026, the Company had negative operating cash flows of $3,646.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,413.
The
Company expects to continue incurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations. Management is in the process of evaluating various
financing alternatives, 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.
In addition, the Company is exploring the use of mitigating actions such as postponing expenses that are not based on firm commitments.
Under
these circumstances, in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, management has
concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as management believes its
current funds will be sufficient to fund its operations for only several 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.
On
July 28, 2025 and on May 28, 2026, the Company effected 1-for-15 and
1-for-10,
respectively, reverse share splits of all of its issued and outstanding, and authorized but unissued, ordinary shares. The reverse
share splits resulted in corresponding increases in the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares, from $0.0009 to
$0.0135
and $0.0135
to $0.135,
respectively, per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse splits, as any fractional share totals to which shareholders
would have been entitled were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. All references made to ordinary shares and per share amounts
(for each of Silexion, Silexion Israel, and Moringa) in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated, have been
adjusted to reflect those reverse share splits.

Silexion
Therapeutics Corp (“Silexion”, the “Company” or the “Combined Company”) is a clinical-stage biotechnology

was originally formed for the purpose of effecting the Transactions (as defined below). Following the closing of the Transactions on August
15, 2024 (the “Closing”), the Company became a publicly-traded holding company that has one primary active wholly-owned subsidiary
— Silexion Therapeutics Ltd. (formerly known as Silenseed Ltd.) (“Silexion Israel”), an Israeli limited company, through
which much of its operations are conducted, along with certain additional inactive subsidiaries, including Moringa Acquisition Corp (“Moringa”
or the “SPAC”), a Cayman Islands exempted company.
On
April 3, 2024, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (hereinafter, the “A&R BCA”)
with the SPAC, Silexion Israel, August M.S. Ltd. an Israeli company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub 1”),
and Moringa Acquisition Merger Sub Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company and additional wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger
Sub 2”). Pursuant to the closing under the A&R BCA, which occurred on August 14, 2024, both Silexion Israel and the SPAC became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, which became a publicly-held, Nasdaq-listed entity whose securities are traded under the ticker
symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW” (the A&R BCA and related transactions: the “Transactions”).
From
its formation on April 2, 2024 until the Closing 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
Israel, 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 Israel (as the predecessor entity to the Company) through August 15, 2024 and the financial information
of Silexion (as the Combined Company following the Transactions) from August 16, 2024 forward.
The
Company has three subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025:
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 Silexion (the “SPAC Merger”), and Merger Sub 1 merged with and into Silexion
Israel, with Silexion Israel continuing as the surviving company
of such merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Silexion (the “Acquisition Merger”).
In
connection with the Closing of the Transactions, the ordinary shares and warrants of Silexion were listed on the Nasdaq Global Market
(currently, they are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market) and began trading under the symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW”,
respectively.
For
more information on instruments issued as part of the Transactions, see Note 3.
The
Transactions were accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with US GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Silexion
Israel was treated as the accounting acquirer and the SPAC was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes.
Under the reverse recapitalization accounting method, the Transactions were deemed to be the equivalent of a capital transaction in which
Silexion Israel issued shares for the net assets of the SPAC. The net assets of the SPAC were stated at fair value, with no goodwill or
other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Transactions are those of Silexion Israel.
In
accordance with the applicable guidance to reverse recapitalization, the equity structure has been retroactively adjusted in all comparative
periods up to the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), to reflect the number of Silexion’s ordinary shares, $0.001
par value per share (before adjustment for two subsequent reverse share splits, which are described in Note 1(e)) issued to legacy Silexion
Israel shareholders in connection with the reverse recapitalization transaction. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts
and earnings per share related to legacy Silexion Israel shareholders prior to the reverse recapitalization have been retroactively restated
as shares reflecting the exchange ratio established pursuant to the Transactions. In conjunction with the reverse recapitalization, Silexion
Israel’s ordinary shares underwent a 1-for-3.9829 conversion
(before adjustment for subsequent reverse share splits).
On
November 27, 2024, July 28, 2025 and May 28, 2026, the Company effected 1-for-9,
1-for-15
and 1-for-10
reverse share splits of all of its issued and outstanding, and authorized but unissued, ordinary shares. The reverse share splits resulted
in corresponding increases in the par value of the Company’s ordinary shares, from $0.0001
to $0.0009,
$0.0009
to $0.0135
and from $0.0135
to $0.135
per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse splits, as any fractional share totals to which shareholders would
have been entitled were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. All references made to ordinary shares, preferred shares and
per share amounts (for each of Silexion, Silexion Israel, and Moringa) in these consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise indicated,
have been adjusted (for periods preceding either reverse share split, retroactively) to reflect those reverse share splits.
In
October 2023, Israel was attacked by Hamas, a terrorist organization and entered a state of war. Since the commencement of these events,
there have been additional active hostilities, including with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement which controls parts of Yemen,

its inception, the Company (and, prior to the Transactions, its predecessor, Silexion Israel) 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 Israel) has incurred losses of $11,912
and $16,519
for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had negative
operating cash flows of $10,819.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5,991.
The
Company expects to continue incurring losses, and negative cash flows from operations. Management is in the process of evaluating various
