NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

U.S dollars in thousands (except for share and per share data)

NOTE 1:- GENERAL

a.	Raphael Pharmaceutical Inc. (formerly Easy Energy, Inc.) (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 17, 2007. The Company is headquartered in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel. From April 1, 2011 until December 31, 2019, the Company was not active.

On October 8, 2020, the Company and its stockholders entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange") with an Israeli pharmaceutical company ("Raphael"), according to which, among other matters, all shareholders of Raphael will sell and convey the entire holdings in Raphael to the Company such that following the Share Exchange, the shareholders of Raphael will hold 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, and the existing shareholders of the Company will hold the remaining 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock.

On May 14, 2021, the Company's board of directors and stockholders approved a 1-for-100 reverse split of the Company's common stock, which was implemented and became effective as of May 14, 2021. The reverse split combined each one hundred (100) shares of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse split, and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share.

On May 14, 2021, Raphael and the Company completed the Share Exchange pursuant to which 9,459,253 common stock were issued to the shareholders of Raphael so that they became the holders of 90% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company immediately after the Share Exchange while the Company's shareholders held, following the Share Exchange, 1,051,028 common stock which represents 10% of the Company. On May 19, 2021, as agreed by the parties to the Share Exchange, the Company changed its name to Raphael Pharmaceutical Inc. Following such Share Exchange, Raphael's activities are the sole activities of the Company.

The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization which is outside the scope ASC 805, "Business Combinations" ("ASC 805"), as the Company, the legal acquirer, is considered a non-operating public shell, and is therefore not a business as defined in ASC 805. As the shareholders of Raphael received the largest ownership interest in the Company, Raphael was determined to be the "accounting acquirer" in the Share Exchange. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company were replaced with the financial statement of Raphael for all periods presented.

The Company's common stock began public trading on the over-the-counter market in the U.S. in January 2023 under the symbol "RAPH".

b.	Going concern and management plans

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to research and development, clinical trials, and raising capital. The Company is still in its development and clinical stage and has not yet generated revenues. The extent of the Company's future operating losses and the timing of becoming profitable are uncertain. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's accumulated deficit was $8,434. The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through equity financing and the issuance of a loan. Additional funding will be required to complete the Company's research and development and clinical trials, to attain regulatory approvals, to begin the commercialization efforts of the Company's product and to achieve a level of sales adequate to support the Company's cost structure.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

U.S dollars in thousands (except for share and per share data)

NOTE 1:- GENERAL (Cont.)

Management's plans include, but are not limited to, raising capital in the United States. There can be no assurance that it will be able to successfully raise additional financing, including in a public offering, or obtain additional financing on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Management expects that the Company will continue to generate losses from the development, clinical development and regulatory activities of its product, which will result in negative cash flow from operating activity. This has led management to conclude that substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists in the event that additional funding does not occur. If such sufficient financing is not received timely, the Company will not have sufficient cash flows and liquidity to finance its business operations as currently contemplated and would then need to pursue a plan to license its assets, seek to be acquired by another entity, cease operations and/or seek bankruptcy protection. The Company's financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023. The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023, are applied consistently in these interim financial statements.

Overview

We are a pharmaceutical drug research and development company focused on the discovery and clinical development of life-improving drug therapies based on cannabinoids, including cannabidiol, or CBD. Unless indicated otherwise, we plan on using oil derived from CBD strains with low levels of Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. All references to the use of CBD in our product candidates refer to CBD strains with less than 0.3% of THC.

We are currently in the pre-clinical development stage for our lead product candidate, our RA product candidate for the treatment of RA. In addition, we are aiming to develop a pharmaceutical drug product for the treatment of hyperinflammatory syndrome and lung inflammation related to COVID-19. At Rambam Health Care Campus, or Rambam Hospital, we have successfully completed preclinical studies on human-derived immune cells and mouse models for both the COVID-19 and RA products.

In November 2022, we submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Health of Israel, or MOH for a clinical trial of a cannabis-based drug intended to alleviate the deterioration of COVID-19 patients.

On February 9, 2022, we filed an application for a clinical trial with the Medical Cannabis Unit of the Ministry of Health of Israel, or MOH. On February 16, 2022 we submitted an application with the Helsinki Committee at Rambam Hospital for a clinical trial in COVID-19 patients.

On March 27, 2023, the Israel Ministry of Health, or MOH, accepted our proposal for a clinical trial aimed at preventing the deterioration of hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

In April 2024 we began a proof-of-concept clinical trial in the United States, leveraging insights from the pre-clinical experiments it has conducted at the Rambam Hospital. This proof-of-concept clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Cannabigerol in patients with active RA. The estimated timeline to finalize such proof-of-concept clinical trial is six months from the recruitment of the first participant.

We have engaged with MindMate, Inc./ dba Citruslabs ("Citruslabs") to oversee such proof-of-concept clinical trial. Our collaboration with Citruslab underscores our dedication to conducting such proof-of-concept clinical trial in accordance with applicable industry standards and regulations, including the International Conference on Harmonisation Good Clinical Practice guidelines, and dedication to bringing treatments to fruition and improving the lives of individuals affected by RA. This milestone represents a significant stride forward in our mission to pioneer innovative solutions for managing RA and underscores its commitment to driving advancements in medical research, addressing the unmet needs of patients.

As we move forward, our focus will be on further investigating and refining the formula through continued pre-clinical research. Our goal is to ensure that the formula meets all the necessary standards and regulations set forth by the FDA, allowing us to progress towards clinical treatments.

Our vision is to emerge as a pioneering company at the forefront of formulating pharmaceutical drugs that harness the potential of purified cannabinoids and full-spectrum CBD oil. Our primary mission is to cater to the unmet medical requirements of patients grappling with various disorders, with a particular focus on conditions linked to inflammation, such as chronic lung inflammation, RA and COVID-19.

By leveraging our expertise in this field, we are committed to providing innovative solutions to improve the lives of those afflicted with these challenging medical conditions. Through our dedication to research, development, and compassionate care, we aim to contribute significantly to the well-being of patients worldwide, offering them much-needed relief and hope for a better future.

In order to achieve our goal, we have and will continue to build an experienced team of senior executives and scientists, with experience in all facets of pharmaceutical research and development, drug formulation, clinical trial execution and regulatory submissions. We intend to leverage the knowledge of our team in order to complete the clinical trials needed to receive approvals of our product candidates from applicable regulatory authorities.

Initially, we intend to obtain approvals for our product candidates from the FDA and the Medical Cannabis Unit of the Israeli Ministry of Health, or MOH. Upon obtaining FDA approvals, or in the event that we are not successful in obtaining such approvals, we intend to apply for EMA and other countries' governmental regulatory agencies approvals for our product candidates. If we are successful in obtaining FDA approvals for our product candidates, we intend to enter into royalty agreements with good manufacturing practice, or GMP, approved medical manufactures and distributors, having them using our medical formulas for the purpose of growing, cultivating, manufacturing, and distributing Raphael Pharmaceutical medical indications in their designated territories.

For this purpose, in October 2022, we entered into an agreement with the Medical Cannabis Research Center at Rambam Health Care Campus, and Rambam MedTech for the development of a new, patentable formulation that combines purified cannabinoids to treat rheumatoid diseases.

The overall objective of this study is to identify a novel cannabinoid based patentable formulation to treat Rheumatoid diseases. Specifically, to investigate combination of purified cannabinoids to downregulate inflammation related to Rheumatoid diseases. We propose to base our study on data derived from Dr. Igal Louria-Hayon's studies (Helsinki # 0442-20-RMB) on the evaluation of the immune regulation properties of cannabinoids on the immune system and the data derived from the cannabinoids receptors study (Helsinki # 0331-20-RMB). We will analyze the activation of cannabinoid receptors on mouse models and will study the role of purified cannabinoid as a potential to develop a novel patentable formulation to treat RA.

Our discovery platform currently focuses the use of CBD oil, one of the cannabinoids in cannabis plants, as the active pharmaceutical ingredient, or API, for our RA product candidate and COVID-19 product candidate. Research results published in 2018 ("Translational Investigation of the Therapeutic Potential of Cannabidiol (CBD): Toward a New Age") has shown that there may be benefits to treading medical conditions, or their effects, with cannabinoids, and more specifically, with CBD, which may help reduce chronic pain by impacting endocannabinoid receptor activity, reducing inflammation and interacting with neurotransmitters. This research has also shown that CBD may have neuroprotective properties, and could have the ability to (i) reduce anxiety and depression, (ii) alleviate cancer-related symptoms, (iii) reduce acne and (iv) benefit heart health.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. There are no critical accounting estimates for the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. Also, please see Note 2 of Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the summary of significant accounting policies.

Research and Development Expenses. Our research and development expenses totaled $162,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $348,000, or 68.2%, compared to $510,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher expenses in 2023 associated with our pre-clinical activities at Rambam Hospital.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses totaled $157,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $62,000, or 28.3%, compared to $219,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decrease in professional services expenses in the third quarter of 2024.

Operating Loss.

Our research and development expenses totaled $565,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $352,000 or 38.4%, compared to $917,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher expenses in 2023 associated with our pre-clinical activities at Rambam Hospital.

General and Administrative Expenses. Our general and administrative expenses totaled $550,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of $61.000, or 12.4%, compared to $489,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increase in professional services for investor relations in the second quarter of 2024.

Operating Loss. Our operating loss totaled $1,115,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $291,000, or 20.7%, compared to $1,406,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in our research and development expenses.

Financial Expense, net. We recognized financial expense, net of $9,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing an increase of $9.000, or 100%, compared to immaterial expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to exchange rate differences.

Net Loss. As a result of the foregoing, our net loss totaled $1,124,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing a decrease of $282,000, or 20.0%, compared to $1,406,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in our research and development expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily through our founder's capital and capital received from Easy Energy, Inc. As of September 30, 2024, we had $40,000 in cash and cash equivalents and have invested most of our available cash funds in ongoing cash accounts.

Net cash used in operating activities was $470,000 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2024, compared with net cash used in operating activities of $1,115,000 for the corresponding period in 2023. The $645,000 decrease in the net cash used in operating activities during the nine months period ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to a decrease in Company's net loss for the period in the amount of $282,000 and an increase in account payables and related party of $344,000.

There was no net cash used in investing activities for the nine months period ended September 30, 2024 and for the same period in 2023.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months period ended September 30, 2024 was $280,000 compared to $1,126,000 for the same period in 2023. The decrease in net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months period ended September 30, 2024 compared to the corresponding period in 2023 was mainly due to a decrease in funds received from issuance of shares and warrants and proceeds received from exercise of warrants.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Rambam Research Agreement

On July 17, 2019, we entered into a sponsored research agreement, or the Research Agreement, with Rambam MT, pursuant to which the Company agreed to fund a research project, to be performed by Rambam MD, with a research plan aimed at identifying the effects of different cannabis strains on the function of immune cells. On October 28, 2020, the Company and Rambam MT agreed to expand the research plan to study the anti-inflammatory activities of cannabis extracts in an RA mouse model. On February 15, 2021, the Company and Rambam MT agreed to further expand the research plan to study the effect of cannabis extracts on the immunopathology of the COVID-19 disease. The Sponsored Researched Agreement is for an initial term of 48 months. On October 23, 2022, the Company and Rambam MT entered into a supplement to the Research Agreement, or the Supplement Agreement, pursuant to which the Company exercised an option to extend the Research Agreement by additional two years until December 31, 2024.

Pursuant to the Research Agreement, we agreed to pay Rambam MT $1.4 million in four equal payments, due on the first day of August on each successive year from 2019 through 2022. Pursuant to the Supplement Agreement, we agreed to pay Rambam MT $960,000 plus VAT in four biannual payments from May 2023 through December 2024. Furthermore, in accordance with the terms of the Research Agreement, we and Rambam MT will have joint ownership of any intellectual property (IP) created as a result of research programs covered by such agreement. In connection with the Research Agreement, Rambam MT agreed not to work, study or develop any technologies with other entities that compete with our work with Rambam MT for our COVID-19 product candidate or RA product candidate for a term of three and seven years, respectively, from the end of the parties' collaboration with respect to the COVID-19 product candidate and seven years from the end of the term of the Research Agreement with respect to the RA product candidate.

Subject to commercial sales of any product candidate using the IP created as a part of the research covered by such agreement, Raphael Israel is required to pay Rambam MT a royalty in an amount equal to 6% of all net sales, subject to certain deductions, such as taxes paid by any purchaser, transportation and shipping costs, and other customary deductions.

On December 25, 2023, the Company received an extension to pay the remaining $350,000 pursuant to the Research Agreement until the end of June 2024. As of May 15, 2024, the Company has made all four of the four equal payments due pursuant to the Research Agreement, for a total amount of $1.4 million and $120,000 for the Supplement Agreement.

Way of Life Cannabis Agreement

In October 2020, Raphael Israel entered into an engagement agreement with Wolc, pursuant to which, subject to its completing the Share Exchange with Easy Energy, Raphael Israel will be provided with up to 15 liters of CBD oil, from a strain of cannabis during a term of 18 months, to be provided in two to three deliveries of between one to seven milliliters of CBD oil. In accordance with Raphael Israel's agreement with Wolc, Raphael Israel has agreed to issue to certain persons affiliated with Wolc 3% of Raphael's issued and outstanding share capital as of the date of the Share Exchange, to be provided in three equal issuances; provided, however, that such persons may elect to receive a cash payment of $100,000 instead of any one issuance of Raphael's shares. In addition to the issuance of shares, Raphael Israel has also agreed to pay Wolc a royalty fee equal to 15% of the net royalties generated from sales of Raphael Israel's pharmaceutical drug products that are developed at Rambam hospital in Israel.

On July 27, 2022, we issued 100,500 shares of common stock to Wolc in connection with the engagement agreement. The value of such issued shares was based on the value of the service provided, which amounted to $100,000. In June 2023, we issued the remaining 201,000 shares of common stock to Wolc in connection with the services agreement dated October 2020.The value of the shares issued was based on the value of the service provided, which amounted to $200,000.

Except for the above, we have not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements, such as the use of unconsolidated subsidiaries, structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.

We do not believe that our off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Current Outlook

We have financed our operations to date primarily through proceeds from our founder's capital and issuance of shares and warrants. We have incurred losses and generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. To date we have not generated revenue, and we do not expect to generate significant revenues from the sale of our products in the near future.

We do not believe that our current cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our projected operating requirements. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. At this time, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain an adequate level of financial resources required for the short and long-term support of our operations or that we will be able to obtain additional financing as needed, or meet the conditions of such financing, or that the costs of such financing may not be prohibitive. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period within one year from the date of the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

As of September 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $40,000. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our projected cash requirements through the end of the year. Therefore, we will require significant additional financing in the near future to fund our operations. We currently anticipate that we will require approximately $0.8 million for research and development activities over the course of the next 12 months. We also anticipate that we will require approximately $0.6 million for capital expenditures over such 12-month period, which consists primarily of expenditures for clinical trials and general Company operating costs.

In addition, our operating plans may change as a result of many factors that may currently be unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

●

our research and development efforts, including our ability to finish research and development projects or product development within the allotted or expected timeline;

	●	the cost, timing and outcomes of seeking to commercialize our products in a timely manner;
	●	our ability to generate cash flows;
	●	economic weakness, including inflation, or political instability in particular foreign economies and markets;

Until we can generate significant revenues, if ever, we expect to satisfy our future cash needs through our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits, loans, or debt or equity financings. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. If funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research or development plans for, or commercialization efforts with respect to, one or more applications of our products. This may raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management's Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2024, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and participation of management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even internal controls determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. The projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies may deteriorate. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

This Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Commission that exempt from this requirement issuers that are neither accelerated filers nor large accelerated filers.
