SILEXION THERAPEUTICS CORP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(U.S. dollars in thousands)
a. |
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”).
|
b. |
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.
|
c. |
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”).
|
d. |
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”).
|
e. |
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.
|
f. |
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. As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the war with Hamas is ongoing and continues to evolve. 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 had been reached and as of such date there has been no further escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran; however, there is no assurance that the ceasefire will be upheld and military activity and hostilities may continue to exist at varying levels of intensity. Any or all of these situations may potentially escalate in the future to more violent events.

Fair value measurement

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.
