Dear shareholders,
We are pleased to provide an update on the progress we have made over the last months:
Corporate Strategic Planning
One of our communicated objectives in 2022 and the first half of 2023 was to conduct a thorough strategic review of the company. We are pleased to announce that this goal has been accomplished. We have completed several strategic planning sessions with our senior team, advisors, and consultants. The outcome has enabled us to better focus our resources and efficiently build our pipeline We have reviewed our current and potential pipeline assets in depth, to ensure we focus on only the most promising commercial opportunities. To bolster our business development efforts, we have outsourced to industry experts, which we believe will yield optimal results in our licensing activities as well as free up our team for more critical strategic planning and development. Additionally, we have enhanced the workflow within TFChem, providing our Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) with additional support to dedicate more time for innovation and have completed a review of lab operations. We will be adding several new pieces of equipment to the lab in the next 2-4 months.
Given the challenging conditions in the capital market, we have taken a cautious approach by limiting the expansion of our pipeline. However, despite this, we are making considerable progress in developing multiple projects and have expanded our scientific team. We are obligated to restrict communication in cases where intellectual property (IP) protection has not been secured. Nevertheless, as time progresses, we will be able to share some of their recent accomplishments.

TFC-1326 – Anti-Aging Clinical Trial
In April, we announced one of our most significant achievements to date: the successful completion of our clinical trial in anti-aging. Our compound, TFC-1326 surpassed our expectations, demonstrating remarkable benefits, including wrinkle reduction, diminished fine lines, increased skin density, improved skin laxity, and enhanced skin radiance. Additionally, our product has exhibited potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, addressing major causes of skin aging. Notably, all participants reported that the product was well tolerated, further emphasizing its efficacy and safety.
We are now actively seeking partnerships for TFC-1326. The level of interest generated during BIO in June was exceptional, with meetings held with companies from around the globe, including key markets such as
Testing of a new set of potential antiviral compounds is currently in progress at the
TFC-039 - Diabetes
Our progress in licensing TFC-039 has been notably slow primarily due to the challenges in obtaining the clinical data held by our external partner. Additionally, the involved companies have expressed their uncertainty regarding its commercial potential in the current market. Consequently, we have become less confident in our ability to achieve a successful license. It is important to highlight that we have made significant new advancements in the field of SGLT2 Inhibitors beyond TFC-039, and Sirona now has complete control and ownership of these achievements. While we remain open to opportunities for partnering TFC-039, our primary focus will be on advancing our intellectual property in the SGLT2 inhibitor space with our recent discoveries.
Financing
We are still in the pre-revenue phase and therefore continuously exploring new avenues for non-dilutive financing to allow Sirona to rapidly expand its pipeline technology without being dependent on or restricted by partners. One of these initiatives involves financial support from
